Alright George, I never comment on videos but i have been watching yours for a month or 2 now and have nearly watched the lot. The content and your attitude towards fishings is great. Always look forward to a new one and now Harry's (bang average) too
My late father use to use regular earth worm for salmon whereby he'd use several hooked in a format that presents as a small octopus with a light weight bouncing amongst the boulders. He did do pretty well 20 year ago mind, thanks for another great upload 👍
Keep at it George, you'll get one...on such a small river they can move up very fast but they to tend to rest at beat 5. The river has traditional salmon runs sept and oct so catching trout is a by product of that. Also, on beat 5, try an up stream cast from the concrete as some of the salmon rest a few yards upstream
That's fishing.🥺 Always next time.😀 I'm sure, with your enthusiasm and desire, we'll see you get one soon.🫣🤞🙏 Always a pleasure to watch your videos.😁😁 Thanks for sharing, 👏👏take care and stay safe.😷🙊
Now then George … great to see you in action once again my lad …… rivers looking in great condition buddy and some lovely fish …… weathers changing and the odd mild day still about till we’re back in the icy white stuff 🥶 . Hope the little ones alright and all the best to you and yours 🎣👍😁
@@adventurefishinguk that’s great news. It when they start making their way up the stairs. Are you turn round and they are right behind you. This is where it all starts Lots of fun and mayhem to look forward to buddy 😂😂
Good video again sir have had many a day like that fishing for salmon all you get are trout that's the problem with waters that don't have bigger runs of salmon they usually have plenty of trout and they love a spinner at this time of year
Salmon fishing is never easy. Catching salmon on the fly is the best way to catch them for me very satisfying when you catch them on a fly you have made yourself. Have a trip up to the highlands of Scotland next year and I will take you out fishing for salmon and pike etc.
Yeah a fly caught salmon is definitely on my bucket list, would love to catch one like that. Best stick to what I know first though because I’m struggling as it is 😂 where are you based? I’d love to come up to the highlands for some salmon fishing
i know the feeling mate, i walked my stream today after sea-trout and it was nothing but brownies!! but i suppose theres worse problems lol thats my season closed now, thanks for uploadin mate 👍👍
Mate I’ve watched your videos from the very start when you posted on Facebook one time I took the opportunity to give you a follow and watch your videos and can’t lie mate you have never disappointed me and it’s great watching your account grow because I’ve seen how much love you put into fishing keep up the good work!👏🏻
What a great comment to read mate made my day! Thanks for watching all this time, I really appreciate it and it's always nice to hear from people who were watching in the early days
You need to let you spinner/lure sink to the depth where the salmon lay before you start your retrieve. A lot of salmon will hug the bottom or sit in holes. Retrieving soon as the spooner/lure hits the water will keep it high in the water, over the top of them.
@@adventurefishinguk thanks mate, really appreciate. and yeah, the asp it's just great ... if you'll have to opportunity to catch it, go for it ... they hit the lures like crazy. cheers man ...
I had a 22lb7oz salmon take a pike lure on river lune took 45 minutes to land and completely tired me out.released back to river.they fight like being attached to a Porsche.phenominal fighters.
That is how I feel fishing here in Canada. Doesn't matter what I am targeting all I catch some days are smallmouth bass. They are like piranhas, they beat everything else to the lure lol. Cheers
Hi George, how are your tying your spinner to the 33lb briad? what weight leader, how long and with knots or a swivel? thank you! Great video, salmon will come
Size 4 blue fox with a size 4 treble on it might work ? I’ve never been salmon fishing but that what I use when I want to avoid the small trout in my river !:)
I always fish a little past river season as I’m terrible with dates my pal Steve always reminds me when he walks past roll on March river beats canals, lakes and reservoirs any day. I was using a size 0 brass spinner last week for perch all I was getting is pike typical..
Yeah dates can be a bit confusing! Pike seem to love tiny spinners at the moment, I have a friend who targets them using them. Really shows it’s more of a right place at the right time matter than what’s on the end of the line
An enjoyable video nonetheless. I had a similar situation on Friday (28th). I went for a short perch fishing session, but only succeeded in catching pike. The upside was that I smashed my person best with a 16lb 8oz fish taken on a ring finger sized dead roach!
As has been said, you cant choose what grabs hold of the bait ........... especially on a mixed river where there are numbers of trout and coarse fish, fish with worms or maggots or whatever from October onward and you will end up hooking trout. Spinners, if there are Perch, same result
English river seasons make zero sense. It's absolutely fine and safe to catch trout until the end of October, as evidenced by their agression to chase a size 3.
Trebles are so bad for fish especially for small trout, I hope you debarbed and maybe consider going for single hooks. I use them on my mepps and it doesn’t effect the hook up rate.
Good but I still don’t like them, I used to use them 20 years ago but saw the damage they cause to perch, pike, trout, chub and sea fish. They simply aren’t needed. Just convert them to barbless singles.
Haha couldn’t have said it better myself, I’ve tried and I’ve tried. Of all the fish out there the salmon is the one that continually kicks my arse every time I try fish for them
Trust me mate I know! To me this isn’t particularly light gear, I’ve had a few salmon fights with my trout/perch rod that definitely didn’t end well! I use this set up for pike though so I’m sure it would handle it

Thanks for watching mate and I appreciate you dropping the comment! Plenty more new videos incoming 👍

A really good method from what I’ve heard! Unfortunately the stretch I fish is fly and spin only. Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed this video immensely - always hard after the salmon doesn’t matter where you are!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully might be fitting in one last ditch attempt tomorrow
Keep at it George, you'll get one...on such a small river they can move up very fast but they to tend to rest at beat 5. The river has traditional salmon runs sept and oct so catching trout is a by product of that. Also, on beat 5, try an up stream cast from the concrete as some of the salmon rest a few yards upstream
I really hope so! I often have a few casts there but no luck. Have you had many on the Wyre?
That's fishing.🥺 Always next time.😀
I'm sure, with your enthusiasm and desire, we'll see you get one soon.🫣🤞🙏
Always a pleasure to watch your videos.😁😁
Thanks for sharing, 👏👏take care and stay safe.😷🙊
Thanks Ian, I really hope I get one. I deserve it after all the hours I’ve been putting in!
Now then George … great to see you in action once again my lad …… rivers looking in great condition buddy and some lovely fish …… weathers changing and the odd mild day still about till we’re back in the icy white stuff 🥶 . Hope the little ones alright and all the best to you and yours 🎣👍😁

Thanks for watching John! Little one is getting on very well thank you just starting to take his first steps 👍

Thanks mate! Yeah true it’s very frustrating, I’ll get a salmon on there one day

@@adventurefishinguk not far from Inverness so have a few good rivers close by.

Well at least we tried! I’ve got one more trip after the salmon tomorrow then it’ll have to wait until next spring
@@adventurefishinguk hopefully this winter goes quick!! guess theres the pike as a back up
Good and honest video George, shows just the reality of things when trying to target something. Always fun to be outdoors atleast 😊
Thanks mate, always nice to be out there trying!

Thanks for the advice I’ll keep it in mind! A little trickier on such a shallow river 👍
nice video mate, and a great river. cheers ...
Thanks for watching mate! Just been over and subbed to your channel too, never heard of an Asp before but they look awesome! Would love to catch one
@@adventurefishinguk thanks mate, really appreciate. and yeah, the asp it's just great ... if you'll have to opportunity to catch it, go for it ... they hit the lures like crazy. cheers man ...
Great video! I think that second fish was probably trout not a parr because of the orange colour on the adipose fin which salmon parr usually lack.
I think you’re probably right mate, the pattern looked a bit like the fingerprint pattern on a parr though
nice to be out fishing mate ✌️😜🔥
Always is!
I had a 22lb7oz salmon take a pike lure on river lune took 45 minutes to land and completely tired me out.released back to river.they fight like being attached to a Porsche.phenominal fighters.
That’s unreal! What a catch 👍
Wow that’s incredible! Curious about your pike fishing on the Lune, have you had many out in recent years? And any of decent size?
I have met you before but you was much younger then so its great to see you fish in your prime.
That is how I feel fishing here in Canada. Doesn't matter what I am targeting all I catch some days are smallmouth bass. They are like piranhas, they beat everything else to the lure lol. Cheers
Would love to catch some smallies, where abouts in canada are you from?
@@adventurefishinguk pretty much right in the center of the country, about 2 hours drive west of Lake Superior.
Nice upload George
Thanks mate!
Hi George, how are your tying your spinner to the 33lb briad? what weight leader, how long and with knots or a swivel? thank you! Great video, salmon will come
small swivel and a 25lb fluorocarbon leader mate 👍 about 2-3 feet long
Size 4 blue fox with a size 4 treble on it might work ? I’ve never been salmon fishing but that what I use when I want to avoid the small trout in my river !:)
Good idea thanks for the advice mate! Never really gone above a size 3 but it’s definitely something I need to experiment with
Use a mepps size 5 with a silver spoon blue dots i catch all my salmon on them good luck mate, size 3 mepps for the smaller seatrout in the fast runs.
Thanks for the advice mate I’ll keep an eye out for those in the shop
You’re welcome mate.👍
I always fish a little past river season as I’m terrible with dates my pal Steve always reminds me when he walks past roll on March river beats canals, lakes and reservoirs any day. I was using a size 0 brass spinner last week for perch all I was getting is pike typical..
Yeah dates can be a bit confusing! Pike seem to love tiny spinners at the moment, I have a friend who targets them using them. Really shows it’s more of a right place at the right time matter than what’s on the end of the line
On small rivers a 10 gram black Mepps flying C with a silver blade never misses. Also means you only bump into the big trout
Thanks for the advice mate I’ll keep an eye out for some of those next time I’m in the shop
An enjoyable video nonetheless. I had a similar situation on Friday (28th). I went for a short perch fishing session, but only succeeded in catching pike. The upside was that I smashed my person best with a 16lb 8oz fish taken on a ring finger sized dead roach!
Glad you enjoyed it! Congrats on the PB that’s a great fish, bigger than any pike I’ve ever had!
@@adventurefishinguk Thank you.
Good video mate they are very elusive fish eh
Thanks mate, a bit too elusive if you ask me 😂
Love your content
Thanks mate I appreciate that!
Keep at it you'll get one lad.
I better... Been a long time coming!
As has been said, you cant choose what grabs hold of the bait ........... especially on a mixed river where there are numbers of trout and coarse fish, fish with worms or maggots or whatever from October onward and you will end up hooking trout. Spinners, if there are Perch, same result
Very true!
Try making your lures bigger that will keep the trout away try using a flat rap raparla
Not heard of those before thanks for the suggestion i'll have a look
What camera are you using
Gopro hero 8 black and iphone mate 👍
English river seasons make zero sense. It's absolutely fine and safe to catch trout until the end of October, as evidenced by their agression to chase a size 3.
True, I don't really know enough about it to comment
Trebles are so bad for fish especially for small trout, I hope you debarbed and maybe consider going for single hooks. I use them on my mepps and it doesn’t effect the hook up rate.
I always debarb trebles on trout lures mate 👍
Good but I still don’t like them, I used to use them 20 years ago but saw the damage they cause to perch, pike, trout, chub and sea fish. They simply aren’t needed. Just convert them to barbless singles.
😂funny you caught more trout than when actually trying to 😂
I know! 😂
A would love to catch a salmon.
I’d love one too mate!
you want more of a flood for Salmon
Yeah true, can’t help the conditions on the day though!
I'm an expert in not catching salmon. I can not catch salmon on any river you like.
Haha couldn’t have said it better myself, I’ve tried and I’ve tried. Of all the fish out there the salmon is the one that continually kicks my arse every time I try fish for them
If you hook a big salmon on light gear like that you have no chance trust me it happened to me doesn’t end well they fight like nothing else
Trust me mate I know! To me this isn’t particularly light gear, I’ve had a few salmon fights with my trout/perch rod that definitely didn’t end well! I use this set up for pike though so I’m sure it would handle it
#3 spinner on 10-30g spinning? Harsh
Made casting a little tricky mate but needed some extra backbone if I hooked a big one 👍
