- Autumn salmon fishing on the Upper Tweed at Cardrona. The river running at 1.3 ft above summer level and clear . water temp is starting to get a bit cooler as my feet are going numb if I stay in for too long
Amazing Iain. Another great catch. Keep well for Christmas and the closed season.
Thanks Colin all the best for the festive period and tight lines for next season Cheers Iain.
Lovely fish Ian not too coloured love the autumn colours reflecting on the river. Thanks again for a cracking video.
we anglers are a lucky bunch Paddy ..... to get so close to watching the seasons change and then in the Autumn when everyone is trying to tuck themselves in for the winter we have the chance to get a fish like that. Cheers Iain. 🥃
Makes up for all the blank days, well done and thanks for letting us share your angling days out,cheers Peter.
I think that this year most of us had more blank days than previous years Peter I hope next year is a good one tight lines. Cheers Iain. 🥃
Lovely early winter day with the usual mix of weather. The late-shedding trees are colorful for sure. The respect you paid that beautiful, feisty fish was exemplary. The take was clearly visible so the fly was close to the surface. Congratulations on another excellent video and hoping for many more to come. Cheers, Steve
Thanks again Steve I don't tend to fish to deep and try to get the fish to come to the fly rather than chance foul hooking . I love the take and some say that I strike at the fish. I am not convinced that it's better let the salmon hook its self by letting it take and turn and stand the chance of having the fly down its throat or set the hook when it takes . tight lines for next season Cheers Iain 🥃
Well done Iain, I do love to see your videos. Your care for the beautiful fish is lovely. I tie flies and have done so for over 50 years. But nowadays I only trout fish on resevoirs, fishing for a meal.
I buy my Salmon a nd a summer Sea Trout on York market.
I never felt strong enough in my life to wade in a deep salmon river to high level with a giant’s wand, nor could ever afford the price.
Keep on keeping us happy as you catch & return these gorgeous fish, keeping the odd one for food as at Kelso.
Nick from York
Thanks for your honest and frank Comment Nick I started my fishing on the wee burns and have done most of my fishing on association beats . I am far from being a rich man and all of my tackle is discounted or second hand apart from a couple of reels that I bought over forty years ago. I wore overalls and crawled about under cars for a living and lucky that I can manage to save a bit and budget for my fishing and still eat. I love to eat my catch but at the same time see the necessity for returning fish safely . I could go on for hours typing about catching fish in burns long before I found a wand to wiggle but may save boring you Tight lines for next year Cheers Iain. 🥃
Hi Iain. Just watched a few of your videos & your fly fishing methods & style along with your chosen waters to fish & how you choose to fish them (casting, lines, flies, etc.) match exactly to that of mine although I chose to limit myself to a brook size stream other than big rivers. No distracting music, no bothersome endless irrelevant chatter & advice, just choosing the water (running, pool, etc.), positioning angle to fish your flies & ensuring you have adequate location predetermined to land your fish (BEFORE you hook up) without excess distress to the fish to limit mortality rate upon live release. Thank-you... Ron Carruthers.
Thank you for your summery Ron we could have been hatched out of the same clutch Its all about having fun and keeping our pastime safe to hand on to those that come after us. I was always told that river craft was a big part of our fishing and it always pays of to try determine how best to fish a pool
Cheers Iain 🥃
Well done Iain... another nice fish.... not too dark either... seems to be a good number present in that beat... keep at it! Cheers James 😉👍🥃
I was out for a couple of hours on the last day....... I never went out until the afternoon and It was so cold the temp was reading 4oC on the gauge on the car and never spent a lot of time fishing . I spent more time looking at the reds that had been cut and tis only happened in the last few days . I haven't seen so many for quite a few years. Tight lines for next years
Cheers Iain. 🥃
Well done Iain, another good result and a beautiful fish, the autumn colours on the trees made for a lovely back drop. 🥃🥃
who needs to play golf when you can get enjoyment at the river looking forward to lunch on the 12th I hope that you are feeling well Cheers Iain. 🥃
Well done Ian.Nice to see some fish moving too.Tight lines.Steve.
I was out on the last day Steve -4oC on the way to the river and spent more time looking at the reds that were cut . Some large fish to have made holes in the river bed . I had seen a few but there must have been a lot that weren't looking at the fly
Cheers Iain 🥃
I love this. My brother and I fished Holylee, Ashielsteil and the Yair the same week as this and didn't catch but had the best time. I've already booked again for next year in the middle of October this time.
This video has given me so much inspiration and what I would have done just for that big bite too. Next year will be out year I'm sure. Thank you 🙏🏻
I am glad that I have given you the chance to see some of the back end fish that hopefully you will have the chance of catching on your next Autumn trip Tight lines next season.
Cheers Iain. 🥃
Ahhh Cardrona, lovely part of the World and some nice fish to enjoy. Well done 🍺🍺
Thanks Mr Mazo I do enjoy my Autumn fishing at Cardrona👌. Cheers Iain 🥃
Another excellent video a real pleasure to watch your skills. Tight lines for the remainder of the season.
There isn't much else to see in the remainder of the season but I might have a couple of days out that I haven't edited and hopefully get time to edit Cheers Iain. 🥃
That looks like a very fishy height, Iain. Can't say better than a nice slab of a salmon on Tweedside in autumn. Well done you!
Another cracking day at the office Jon . It's now finished and looking forward to next year . I hope that you and yours have a great time over the Christmas period and all the best for the new year Cheers Iain. 🥃
Well done Iain, another lovely salmon. Still high water, that's good. Enjoy your evening Iain :) Paul:)
I have been fortunate to be at the river when there have been fish to catch . The water has been high a lot of the time this Autumn and a lot of the salmon have headed further upstream which is good for the future . Cheers Iain. 🥃
Well done Iain. Always nice to get a fish early in a session. It’s like having a decent bank balance (I would imagine)….🎣👍
I am afraid that this is still the 2023 season Stephen. I would love to get an early season fish . Our season won't start on the tweed until mid February. there are some rivers that will open early to mud January and I think I may have to spend sometime filling my fly boxes to stand a chance go getting a fish next year. Have good festive season. 🎅🏻 Cheers Iain 🥃
You always do well on that section of water Ian nice job 🎉
the Beat at Cardrona was the first that I fished for salmon a lot of years ago John . The first fish that I managed to catch on the beat was a fish of 18lb and since then it's been like a magnet pulling me back Cheers Iain. 🥃
Getting doon the bank is easy… it’s the getting back up that I struggle with now I’m in my sixties. Got a bit of a fright when it didnae go as planned getting back up the banking earlier this year. I now wear a lightweight parmaris, with no effect on my movement whatsoever. I lost a friend to the Tummel some time ago. Great video again Ian, lovely fish.
The Tummel is a very fast flowing river Tony with a lot of depth. I have had to rescue an angler years ago from the East Haugh beat and when I fish there I always wear a life jacket. it must be a tragic event to have lost your fishing companion to the river . Most beats that I fish on the tay it is compulsory to wear one. I am fortunate that I have a bit of dexterity for an old wrinkly and manage most of the banking at Cardrona . Its the cold that gets me now that I am in my dotage
Cheers Iain 🥃
Another good fish Ian well done mate,,,,,,,,
Thanks Derek this Autumn has been good in the upper Tweed. I have hooked a lot of fish as well as the ones I have landed and now look to my vice to replenish my empty boxes.
Cheers Iain. 🥃
That's a Bonnie fish Ian well done ! Your a braver man than me 🥶
Thanks Muzza I was out on the last day for a few hours and the temperature gauge in the car was showing -4c I only fished for a couple of hours and gave up as my numb bits were turning blue Cheers Iain. 🥃
Nice fish Ian well done!! 🐟
Thanks Irish Mountain Man I am so lucky to have had a good Autumn . All the best for 2024 Cheers Iain. 🥃
A fine day and a fine fish!!!
Hi Bob I feel the I may be repeating myself . I often sing one of Lou Reid's songs while at or leaving the riverand driving home . Just a Perfect Day , I can't sing it as well as Lou but it sounds all right to me and it's better that listening to some of the rubbish on the radio on the way home .......... It's a good job it's dark most of the time going home . other drivers can't see me smile and sing at the same time (not a pretty site ) and some my call the police . Cheers Iain. 🥃
Nice river and nice trout!! Love your videos man! I also make fishing videos and really enjoy content!! Keep theses vids coming!! 👍🤝🎣
That was a salmon mate! 🐟🎣
I will need to spend some time looking at the rest of your videos of fishing in Ontario tight lines for next year 👌
👍
Lovely salmon, well done Iain
another enjoyable day at the river Brian The season has now finished and time to sort out our knotted lines and worn out tackle for next year Tight lines when it comes
Cheers Iain. 🥃
Well done! Another lovely fish, funny I have a few of those special 's not sure where you got yours 😂
I found mine in my wee box Paul 🤣. I need to get myself into gear and sort some out for next season. I hope next year is a good one and all your flies are special Cheers Iain. 🥃🥃
Bye God enjoyed this one Iain ,
Learned a new trick ,
You can push the button on your iPhone 📱 it pairs with the telly , Just superb video quality on the big screen ! Blinking great !
Hi Tony I have learned some recently I have managed to edit some of the recent videos in better quality so that it looks better on the big screen ... I hope that I can get it right in the future
Cheers Iain. 🥃
I guess that heavier sink tip was the correct decision!!!
The river was running about 20 inches above summer level and the tip I was using was a guideline wight compensated one and only the last 5ft was a fast sink so the fish still had to come up to take the fly. I always think that it's better that the fish see the fly above their head and move to take . the slow sink that I had on would only be a couple of inches below the surface and I don't think the fish would travel that far in the cooler water . I think you are right and it is worthwhile thinking about getting closer to the fish when the water is a bit cooler
Cheers iain. 🥃
lovely fish Iain. well done .
I have been fortunate Ryan to be in the right place at the right time Cheers Iain. 🥃
Well done Ian
another enjoyable day Stephen a big smile all the way home Cheers Iain. 🥃
Nice one again 👍
Thanks James I thought with getting a fish shortly after starting that I might get another. there was another angler (Colin). had 2 which made 4 off the beat for the day Cheers Iain 🥃
One better than 0 quite a few fish in the tweed this year plenty fish showing have nice Christmas to you and your family 🍻🎅 and tight lines 24
Well done Ian, another nice autumn fish. Was that just an intermediate tip you were fishing there? Thanks
The tip I was using was a weight compensated guideline and it was the last 5ft that was fast sink . I think that my fly was only about a foot below the surface. the water was clear so easy for the fish to see . cheers Iain. 🥃
@@IainSB Thanks Iain!
Very nice fish under mixed weather conditions. Looks like plenty of water. We have had over 140 retuning fish recorded in NRW in Germany this year with all the rainfall we have had in the last few weeks. Is it affecting your fishing
we have seen so many fish travel past on there way upstream Christopher with the water being high but still fortunate to have so many in the pools . the fish are now spawning and its good to see that in the tails of all the pools that there are fish cutting reds . Its good to know that you also have a lot of fish coming into your river this year Cheers Iain. 🥃
Good stuff:) But are you sad when you compare how few fish there are now and how small they are in average compared to say 30-40 years ago?
it has been a strange year with a lot of anglers including myself feeling that there were few fish in the rivers . I was out on the last day for a couple of casts and spent more time looking at the reds that had been cut and think that there have been more fish spawning this year than the last 5 years . There have been some large fish in the beat but they have been difficult to catch. I have seen several large fish that have disease on them in at the sides in slack water some in excess of 30lb . but I know that it is in no way anything like the numbers that were in the river 40 years ago Cheers Iain 🥃
