Absolutely the correct decision with that cracking Sea Trout. I'm sure with your culinary skills you'll make a great meal with it. Great video as usual and I applaud you for giving the young lads some good advice and encouragement. Cheers 👍
@@abakerslife Nice one Rob. I've been catching some cracking Rainbows about 4lb on the Brenig in North Wales. I bought myself a table top smoker, so I'm now able to hot smoke the fillets. They are superb 👌
Hi Rob just watched this video and enjoyed you teaching the boys proper etiquette on the stream . Wish we had some of that here during salmon season instead of combat fishing
They were nice kids, I've seen them up there before and it was nice to see that they've progressed from spinning to fly fishing. They are lucky to live in a town with great access to the river.
Cheers, tbh I'd love to take more fish as I love salmon and seatrout to eat and I refuse to eat the farmed s***e but sadly its just bot feasible these days.
You can't begrudge any angler for taking a fish home, I'm on a river in southern Ireland which is C&R only for 16+ years, everything goes back even if its dead you let it float downstream. If you kept one you will be arrested, gear + car can be taken and a date in court with heavy fines. The trawlers and factory ships are laughing at us all for our dying efforts. Enjoy your fish you are entitled to it. Great video loved it as always 👏
@abakerslife cheers! Got the bacon in to start the morning off right. Been fishing haltwhistle today, bit of water in lots about but seem to just be on the run
so this stretch..I know really well as this is where my gran lived, I was in the local angling club here , it fishes well all the way down to the camp site. really deep run under the hump back bridge and in spate the stretch just up from the dairy farm used to be great for fish moving up, but good pools all the way upstream as well into the old prisoner of war camp and to the road bridge before you hit the lambley waters...all my holiday were spent up here trout fishing and investing the burns off the main river , where there was always some suprising fish that must have never been caught
I feel for you mate, having to knock one on the head, I hate it , but it happens mate, I've had to knock more fish on the head fly fishing when they swallow the fly so deep, than i have spinning, ive only had to take a few deep hooked spin caught fish, good vid as always👍👍👍👍
Very true, that one is getting the hot smoked treatment. I was going to keep a salmon this year too provided I caught at least a dozen but even though I had managed more I decided against it because I just couldn't bring myself to chap a salmon. Seatrout in my area are much more plentiful though.
You did the right thing with the sea trout which are not C and R other than voluntary but with salmon you have to put them back dead as some would chap them and claim they were bleeding. It is sad but not the norm most we can return safely
That is true and the most important factor in salmon conservation is that anglers are out fishing for them otherwise who would care about protecting them?
Hi, I was using a rio outbound scandi line with a 10foot 5" per second tip. I'm afraid this time I was asked to keep quiet about exactly where I was fishing.
Hello mate your videos are class, really enjoy them. Was quality seeing the wee guys fishing and getting there pb. What camera do you use of you don't mind me asking. Tight lines keep.these videos coming 👌
Many thanks, glad you're enjoying them. I use a gopro hero 12 which works well MOST of the time. I am a bit annoyed with it though because it corrupted a few files this season with a couple of nice salmon and a few seatrout on them.
Great video mate, compliments on your season. Can I ask a question please. We fish the south Tyne at Alston but are struggling to find a decent beat map, do you know where I can find one please. Tight lines. Many thanks Calum.
Many thanks, tbh I don't know. I'd love to find one myself as I find the association map a bit hard to fathom. I guess contacting the secretary would be the way to go.
Those mushrooms where driads saddles, you could of had some fresh mushrooms with that beautiful fish. It's a sad day when you see them bleed from the gills. At least he won't die in vain.
Cheers, all of the day ticket water on the Tyne gives you a good chance of a fish. In this case though I was asked to keep quiet about the location by the owners I'm afraid.
Brilliantly done, both your respect for the fish and particularly your encouragement and guidance to the young anglers. Very well done.
Thankyou kindly

Many thanks, it's getting hot smoked for Christmas 🎄
@@abakerslife Nice one Rob. I've been catching some cracking Rainbows about 4lb on the Brenig in North Wales. I bought myself a table top smoker, so I'm now able to hot smoke

Excellent fishing Rob, Great coaching of the next generation - Cheers James
Cheers, they're a couple of nice lads those two, I've crossed paths with them before up there. Good to see them catching on the fly.
Rob you are my favorite YT Spey angler - thanks for the great videos and all the effort you make
High praise indeed, many thanks
Fantastic! I miss fishing the Tyne, we live up in Scotland now
Many thanks, well you'll not be hard up for fishing up there then..
Can't beat a day on a falling spate river, looks like you hit it just right Rob. Some lovely fly water, and another great video.
Many thanks, I actually think the following day would have been the day to fish there but I'm not complaining about my catches.

Excellent and very enjoyable video once again Rob! Well done and thanks for producing & sharing.
Cheers once again, you're fairly getting through the back catalogue!
@@abakerslife Yes very enjoyable, especially since my salmon season is all but over for another year!
I never take fish but sometimes you have no other option great video thanks from Belfast 👍👍
Cheers, tbh I'd love to take more fish as I love salmon and seatrout to eat and I refuse to eat the farmed s***e but sadly its just bot feasible these days.
@@abakerslife 👍👍
You did the right thing 👍 some nice scenery out and about ...good vid .
Thank you kindly, glad you enjoyed it.
When the river is in condition just have to make do with what ever food is available 😂
Good day out, thanks for taking us along
Absolutely, you've got to drop everything when the water is that good!
Great video. Congrats to the fish 👍👊
Thanks again 👍
Nice fish Rob, love the videos, keep them coming 👍.
Many thanks
Well done Robb, you have had a tremendous season. 👋👋👋
Cheers, yes I had my fair share of luck this year.
Great video keep the content coming/ even the blank days
Cheers, plenty more videos to come then because by god I'm no stranger to a blank 😅
Great stuff Rob,braw to see the wee ones oot anda, instead of stuck behind computer screens,👍
Cheers, very true, I've seen those guys out a few times and it's good to see

Many thanks, tbh watching a dead fish float downstream would break my heart.
Hi mate, love the videos. Going up Alston this weekend and might try to record it. What camera and mount do you use? Cheers
I use a gopro 12 with a chest mount, good luck
@abakerslife cheers! Got the bacon in to start the morning off right.

Many thanks, here's to a good few more days on there in the future

Many thanks it's currently in the freezer waiting to be got smoked at Christmas so won't go to waste.
Nothing wrong with taking the odd fish, especially if it's bleeding. Fantastic eating.
Very true, that one is getting the hot smoked treatment. I was going to keep a salmon this year too provided I caught at least a dozen but even though I had managed more I decided against it because I just couldn't bring myself to chap a salmon. Seatrout in my area are much more plentiful though.
Hi rob good vid, you should come up to the river ythan this October it’s my local and it’s back end so fresh fish currently😊
Sounds great but I don't know if I can manage another safari up north this year
@@abakerslife always a shout for next year
Love all your videos what camera do you use and where do you mount the camera
Thanks, I use a gopro hero 12 with a chest harness.
You did the right thing with the sea trout which are not C and R other than voluntary but with salmon you have to put them back dead as some would chap them and claim they were bleeding. It is sad but not the norm most we can return safely

Can I ask where is this footbridge you cross at the end on the Tyne?
Hi mate, I'd normally happily share that info but in this case I was asked specifically to be discrete.
Hello,what streach is it and what line and sinking tip do you use.Thanks

Thanks for replying, I have emailed the secretary so I’ll pass it on if I have any joy. Keep up the good work 🎣
Cheers, I'm hoping to squeeze in my annual trip up there before the end of the month.
@@abakerslife we are up next weekend for our annual trip, I can’t wait 🎣. Take care 👍🏼
Another cracking video. Well done. Is the red conehead on the silver stoat the only weight on the fly?
Cheers, yes I was trying to keep it fairly high in the water as the fish were likely running on that big water.
@abakerslife Thank you, keep up the good work. Very enjoyable videos.
Nice fishing. I see you’ve called your fly the Ginger Baker 🤣 i think he was in Cream ? - is the fly just a silver stoat with an orange bead ?
Yes he was the drummer...well spotted.
It's basically a silver stoat yes, very simple and easy to tie.
@@abakerslife I think there is a different reason for calling it “The Ginger Baker’ though 😂
Great video Rob don’t recognise the beat but looks lovely, where is it ?
Thanks Chris, I was asked to keep quiet this time but your son will know as it's the water below where we met.
Looks a really nice spot Rob. Where is it?
Hi mate I'd normally happily share the location but in this case I was asked specifically not to and I'd like be allowed back.
Hi where on the tyne is this please
Sorry mate, I'd normally happily share but in this case I was asked specifically not to.
Those mushrooms where driads saddles, you could of had some fresh mushrooms with that beautiful fish. It's a sad day when you see them bleed from the gills. At least he won't die in vain.
I will check my mushroom book and keep that in mind for the future. I do like a shroom or two.
When they are bleeding like that it's a major arterie so no discussion, BONK and dinner.
And a fine dinner it will be
@@abakerslife It will be indeed:)
Great video again m8 always fancied a go on the tyne what beat are you on cheers
Cheers, all of the day ticket water on the Tyne gives you a good chance of a fish. In this case though I was asked to keep quiet about the location by the owners I'm afraid.
