My channel is called Cornish Chris the Fish. I am a Cornishman venturing out beyond the Duchy to experience life on the road full time touring in my Caravan Dalleth Arta, fly fishing and vlogging my adventure. I am a novice Salmon Fisherman so join me as I experience the topsy turvey world of Salmon Fishing. I am charting my fishing adventures and will profile each fishery that I attend. I may even catch a few fish 😀

Another great vlog, thank you Chris. You really need to apply for a passport and move up here to Scotland.!
What do you think my chances of getting a visa would be? 🤔 🤣
You would need a sponsor Chris, I could be persuaded to sponsor you for a small fee! @@CornishChrisTheFish
I am by no means an expert on salmon fly fishing and always learning every day. My only comments in the form of positive feedback would be 1. Cover the pools carefully and methodically but faster, ,as you have commented yourself you need to ensure that you take 2-3 steps between casts to cover the pools reasonably quickly and move on. 2. On the Moulinearn Pool it would appear that the holding area was tight to the far bank yet you appeared to be covering half the river, perhaps by wading out further you could have covered the deeper lies on far bank. 3. I noticed in your fly selection that you opted for an orange/black tube, whilst it is a black art choosing a fly, for Spring salmon fishing I would normally be looking at yellow/black, green/black in the patterns (Monkeys, Collie dog, Willie Guns,Copper Ass (on the Tummel), Cascades, Ice Maidens. etc.........) . Great videos and thoroughly enjoyable.
Thanks that's amazing advice. I had to check the film because I couldn't remember why i wasn't wading. I remember now that I only had my wellies on that day. Can't remember why
It's pronounced East Haw. Good to see you back on the water Chris. Looking forward to seeing what the season brings you.
Thanks Chris 👍
See I like the bit upstrem of peg legs corner. The tail of Pol Treigh through the shot into home stream. Ive my first day at it tomorrow, I'll be like a bairn at christmas tonight.
Tight lines Kenneth 👍
Really looking fwd to seeing how this season goes for you Chris!
Thanks Charles 👍
Great to see you back!! Tightlines for the season ahead!
ps delighted to stand corrected about your new line!!
Thanks David 👍
I'm looking forward to a new season 🎣
Thanks 👍
Good that there is low water which of course by now there may not be.
Keep grafting for those silver Unicorns and keep the Willie Gunn and Dee Monkey swimming
Thank you, I will Simon 👍
Tummels been a bit slow this spring, keep at it , enjoy the day a fish is a bonus 👍
Thanks Alan 👍
Brilliant video chris am fishing east haugh march and advice where to start and to park much appreciated
No problem, finding the parking next to the railway line is really easy following the directions, but start fishing much further up the bank than I did. Good luck 👍
Thanks Chris tight lines for the new season
Great to see you back on the water .
Could you please think about when you are taking your steps downstream and to do it at the end of each cast not at the start ? ,you are losing approx 40% of cast as your fly is not fishing effectively from the moment it hits the water ,this is quite a lot of time considering you are traveling from Devon to the highlands to be losing on each cast/trip .
tight lines for the season and thanks for the vids from those anglers who cannot get out on the water .
Thanks Stephen 👍 alot of subscribers have said the same thing to me in the past. What I realise now is that when I am filming and talking to the camera, I seem to get that bit the wrong way around 😳. When I am not filming I do it the way you describe. Great advice though and thanks for the support. Chris
"and that's it.... I'm not buying anymore rods" says every salmon angler after they've just bought a new rod.................... 😀😀😀😀😀
👍🤣
Often good Springer water are the boring looking pools, slower water etc.
Re the tackle fishing somewhere tummel size early season.
You are better off with something Like a shooting head multi tip line on one rod and another rod with a sinking body that uses the same tips.
Fish long winged flies on the floating/sink tip.
And go deep with something completely different like a snaelda, or gold bodied Willie gunn on a sinking multi tip body.
Spring fish are aggressive they either want hitting on nose with a weighted fly or they will come to the stripped fly.
Keep it simple.
Always fish all the slacks no matter how mundane they look, and fish mainly in the warmer part of the day when it's cold in the spring.
Your often better to just concentrate your efforts and fish hard for just a few hours in the best time of the day early season and pace yourself.
There's no point flogging away in the spring , it's best to be tactical and less is more.
I think you would benefit by adding the other rod when you can and some more sinking options.
For example I rarely fish full floating lines , I am always on some type of proper sinktip or sinking line even in the summer the closer you get to them the more chance you have.
It's can be hard work Springer fishing but the fish are at their very best and can be very large and powerful
Great advice as always JP thank you 👍
My Old Man always said new fishing gear catches more anglers than fish..he was probably right!!😅
Absolutely 💯
hi chris i was noticing you were having difficulty casting that rio switch chucker line with a heavy tube i had the same issue until someone pointed out that on a switch rod and with that line you want to have a shorter fast sink polly leader 5' maximum with about 3/4' of flurocarbon maximum and use smaller tubes the switch rods just can't handle the heavy stuff very well specially in a #7/8 i was using big heavy tubes and it was just a shambles 🤷🏻♂️ thats where a 13' #8/9 would fit perfectly in your armoury (smaller rivers heavy tips & tubes) tight lines for the season 🎣🏴
Ah, now that is very interesting, thank you great advice!
@@CornishChrisTheFish no problem chris it made a huge difference for me so im sure you will also notice the difference 👍🏻🎣
It's odd, I am a great fan and user of Rio fly lines and in fact most of my lines are from Rio. However I ended up giving away my Rio Switch Chucker as I found it so utterly uncouth and heavy in terms of presentation.....like a tow rope. However everyone to their own and for throwing large flies in heavy wind maybe it has its use but just not for me.
I can't say I am an expert on fly line choices but it does seem to work better 😏 thanks for all your support and comments on my videos 👍😀
I have noticed a bit of a thread,hear,which i have been on the same route,50 quid 100 quid,,,ghille tales, etc etc,,still nothing caught,,
I'm not sure what you mean??
Half the drifts your fly is not fishing, but you are on Nice place 😊
Thanks 👍
You have to keep in touch with the fly. You don't want the fly to be simply washed downstream. You want the fly to swing across the current on a taught line 👍🎣
