Salmon Safari 5: Alston, South Tyne.

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- I'm out again in my campervan fly fishing for salmon and sea trout in the beautiful south Tyne river. It's a perfect autumn day and I'm joined on the river by my four legged sidekick for some off piste exploring and foraging and fishing.
Fantastic! Well done on your fish!! Lovely stretch of water! In terms of tying your on flies, that's a tricky one! It's a great hobby in it's own right, and no better joy catching one on your own fly! BUT, if your worried about going down another rabbit hole with it, then DON'T DO IT!!! You'll will end up with a fly tying materials addiction and not enough life expectancy left to use it all!!! The other poster about sticking to one or two materials/patterns is a MYTH!! lol
Thanks David. I think you make a very valid point! I can easily see how a person could get sucked into fly tying. I think I will maybe try and do a few (just a few!) and see where it goes.
Loving your videos and what you are doing. That's what I was up to (on the Lune mainly) years ago but not filming. If you have read Falkus remember that the net is a trap and if you hold it under the water to reduce spooking the fish, but hey, I know its easier said than done!
Many thanks, I have heard that the Lune used to be a cracking river though I fear the glory days are long gone now. I will try to keep the net underwater but like you say in the heat of the moment...
@abakerslife Yeah, there was still a lot if water flogging required especially for the salmon. I'm not sure what it's like now as I've not really done any, apart from one night for Sea Trout. I didn't catch any, but there were fish about.
Fish on'...nice fresh run salmon...river looks in great shape. Work has been put into it. I'm going the fish it soon....🙂👍
Good luck, need some rain first though.
Great vid ,i used to live in that white house,when i was in my late 20's amazing place to live but very harsh in winter,keep up the good work man
Many thanks, small world!
Another enjoyable vid mate. Lovely, lovely looking scenery, going to add that place to my must fish someday list.
nice 👍
Thanks it's a beautiful place to fish and at £35 for a day ticket what's not to love?
Great video again keep up the good work, fish or no fish its a good day out and foget about the world 🎣🎣🎣
Cheers mate you're right any day on the river is good for the soul.
My family are from North Shields, And during WW2 my Grandad evacuated the family up to Kirkhaugh to avoid the regular bombing of North Shields, My dad and his brothers spent the wartime years foraging the rivers and land around where you are, Hares, Rabbits, Trout, Salmon and birds eggs. They had pet Jackdaws living in the house. .......Lovely part of the world. And I think you have convinced me to have a day or two there next season. Tight lines !
That way of life is so far removed from modern day living that I think we (as a nation) couldn't survive an exprience like the second world war anymore. We just don't have the skills required to survive.
Glad that I may have lured you back to visit the area. We are spoiled for great fishing here and I'm only just discovering it for myself.
@@abakerslife Next time Im in Italy Bay I need to buy some bread from you. Anglers will survive, we are the last of the hunters.
Well us and the actual hunters of course!
Only one week into the close season and you're wetting my appetite for next year! Looked a great stretch of water at a good height. Gorgeous scenery. Lovely fish. Life is good!
It feels like a long time till February already! Life certainly was good that day.
@@abakerslife I was thinking of getting an Oracle switch rod. Would you recommend it for the Coquet and Tyne? What line do you use with yours?
@@brianpeutherer2666 The Oracle is the perfect rod for the Coquet but probably too small for the Tyne. I have the matching Shakespeare switch line on mine and I absolutely love it. I have met many happy Fed anglers who swear by them. Opens up a lot more of the river than using a single hander.
Brilliant. Thank you.
Great to see that salmon on his way well done!
Cheers....good luck to him.
Another great video, cheers. What a perfect day out - cock salmon , great wild trails and the colours were amazing between the forest trails and the river!! 👍👍 really enjoying the content 🙌
Thanks Ian, life was sweet that day.
Has been a long awaited catch up Boxing Day sorted binge watch a baker life
Merry Christmas friend and all the best for the new year 🏴
Many thanks all the best to you too🍻
class video 😀
great video! i love these rough spate rivers, im an hour or so from the cumbrian streams, only managed 1 salmon for you tube so far though! good luck, great channel, subbed 👍👍
Many thanks, I feel lucky to live where I do being so close to so many great rivers.
Brilliant video again loved it 👍👍, did you have a good time with the Magic’s 🙈😂😂
Haha. I was just thinking that 🤔 😁
That’s wot I was thinking he didn’t mention out bout them I don’t think he got salmon he was just seeing thing hahaha 🤣 no just joke funny though
Hahaha so you spotted that then!
Cheers Chris glad you enjoyed it. Just threw that in there for fun to see if anyone was paying attention!
Just for fun mate!
And you need to invest in a good salmon net. Just a bit of advise, Take your time in getting your fish in, It will tire itself out and then you can lead it in when it is on it's side. Good luck.
Right opposite our PAAS water where the burn runs in,lovely river.
It is that, looking forward to fishing it again if it ever rains again.
@abakerslife ,I always get on back end of the season,usually see fish,one of my favourite spots,liking the videos mate.
You're doing a good job, but so much hand lining! In my opinion cast a bit squarer and mend your line, it'll work better on that fast water. Don't be constantly retrieving. Good luck and tight lines!
Thanks for the tips!
Good video! The noise is the line in the guides not the reel!
Thanks, I did realise that eventually and a little line slick quieted it down.
@@abakerslife Well done on the salmon! I fish the opposite bank, magical place.
@@TaylorMadeFlyFish It really is, I hope to get to know the south Tyne better this year. Hopefully it will actually rain this year so I get the chance.
This is a great video. Is the footbridge just after the Alston garage on the way out of Alston ? Did you then head downstream ? How did you fish the other bank please ? Much appreciated and well done again keep the vids coming
No you need to drive further than the garage, past the south Tyne railway then there is a track that takes you to the bridge at Kirkhaugh. I'm not sure you can fish the other bank but I'm no expert having only been up there twice. Before I fished I rang the chairman of the Alston Angling Association who was very helpful.
@@abakerslife - thank you all the best - I had a sea trout at Dilston last week - need your expertise as to how to catch a salmon - I had 4 sea trout last year too - all the best
Hi, just found your channel a few weeks ago and I'm loving all the videos 🙂What is the switch rod setup you are using? #7? what line as it seems effortless to cast! 🎣🎣 Thanks
Many thanks, it's a shakespeare oracle #7/8 with the matching oracle switch line. I like it a lot and great value too.
What the rod you was fishing ?
Shakespeare Oracle switch 11' 7\8wt
Just a thought give Davie mcphail fly tie a look on you tube if your thinking about tie your own you won’t be disappointed friend 🏴
I've seen a few of his videos and he is very good but I am leaving the fly tying alone for now. I will take it up later in life when I have more time maybe.
No dogs allowed on the alston angling waters pal
Yeah so about 10 minutes into the video I explain that after bumping into a local angler I was made aware of that fact and the dog went into the van. Genuine mistake and I make it clear in the video that dogs are not allowed. I booked my ticket through fishpal and always read the fishing conditions which does not state that dogs are not allowed.
So , why are no dogs allowed when Farmer said there is no stock in the fields ? Has there been history of problems ? The dog wasn’t fishing without a day ticket ?
@@terryurquhart2413 thats just the club rules no dogs allowed regardless if the dog has a ticket or not 🎣
