Congratulations Iain what a spanner of a fish. Quite a few rivers up this way seem to be picking up, long may it continue. Thanks for another excellent vidio
@@scottishoutdoorlife Some of the opportunities that we had don't seem to be around anymore. Such as you helping on the river or me shooting crows for the farmer which led to me being allowed to flight ducks on his ground.We don't seem to see or hear much of things like that now as everything has a price.
What a stunning fish, well done! Great to see it released safely on its way! I always find it interesting that there invariably seems to be a correlation between overhead cables and lying fish! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful fish , great videos you show. I still think of catching Salmon as a food source , because i like eating Salmon . Ive stopped fishing for them because i cant keep a few for the table., that one you just released would of made great eating, all the best
Thanks Ian. I must admit the more time passes the less I'm thinking of them as food. I feel a bit sorry for them now as the numbers are so low. You are right it would have been a great one for smoking. I did think that when I landed it but hopefully the eggs she's carrying will help just a little. Thanks for watching 👍
As a 70 yr old I like your style, have fished all my days going back to guddling wee burns as a six year old. Just wonder if kids ever follow a similar path these days.
Hi thanks for watching, I think some do. I'm covering one of they Tay beats this week and managed to get a 10 year old her first salmon. I'd say she'll do a bit more now. My son was keen but he can take it or leave it now. 👍
What a Lunker!! 😅😅👏👏but your spinning reel is in it's death throes, or it needs a lot of TLC. I've had Bass and Redfin take lures as long as themselves! 😳
Hi thanks for watching, it was a cracker. I bought my son a new one and I'm using it just now, I'm taking my time buying myself one. Doing some research.
Thanks Stuart one or two now on the books, double figures I think. Roan has a new one I've been using just now, it's a dream compared to the old one. Having a think which one I'll get.
Hi, thanks for watching. Saturday will be the top beat, they're both fishing well at the moment. Either one can produce a lot of fish. Do remember your spinning rod just in case the water levels are high. 👍
Love to watch your videos over breakfast mate 👍 I live in Luncarty and would appreciate if you could tell me who to get in contact with regarding Permission on permits. For the stretch now Luncarty. Thanks
Hi thanks for watching. The stretch just above and below the pipe is on Fishpal as Luncarty beat. The ghillie is Bob White. Fishes well from this bank 3ft or higher on the Ballathie sepa gauge. Fishes well in low water from the stormontfield side below the willow tree especially. Hope this helps 👍
Lovely fish but since so rare I personally think knackering them and putting them back is dead wrong. I have put my salmon rods away for good, for me it’s only trout now.
Thanks for watching. I respect your decision. I personally don't think many end up dead, or we would see them in the rivers, especially on the smaller ones.
@@scottishoutdoorlife one of the Ghillies on the Tay told me that since they introduced catch and release they have had a high number of baggots, but that can be countered by playing a fish hard and putting it back after it expends all its energy.
I would disagree with that. When fish were plentiful there was always lots of baggots long before catch and release. I think they recovered quickly, sometimes fish are caught twice or three times over a period of time and fight the same each time. If they didn't have any energy left they wouldn't fight at all. Everyone has theories but the truth is we just don't know so much about them.
Where was your net??? Nowadays we must be very gentle with these Salmon, not to stress them or put them onto the rocks,pebbles, as they damage them! So please bro no more of this. and more of landing them with a net, please!😢
Thanks for watching. I carry a net where it's awkward to land them. I don't carry one normally as much of my wading is in deep and fast flowing water and cause me to go off balance if the current catches it. I always keep them in the water and am careful with them, sometimes if they touch rocks then for a few seconds then I don't think in the grand scheme of things it's so bad. 👍

Thanks, yes the rivers seem to be picking up a bit now. Long may it continue, tight lines 👍
Cracking fish and she fought you all the way! Lovely to see such respect and admiration for your quarry and understanding of your beat.
Thanks Colin she was a cracker. A proper fish. Fished the beat for around 30 years since I was 10. It's like a second home. 👍
@@scottishoutdoorlife
30 years? You look older than 40!
Wish I was still as young as that...
43 Colin, was very lucky to help out down there during summer holidays.

Cracking fish!! The joy of salmon fishing, you never know when your in the right place at the right time!!
Thanks, definitely

Thanks, yes it must be the electrical field or something.
So far this has been a good year for you . Some nice fish you’ve managed to hook up on . Thanks for taking us along 🥃🥃
Hi Mike, yes doing OK this year. That's about 8 or 9 now I think. Lost the last 3 but hopefully I'll get the next one. Thanks for coming along 👍
A nice day on the river again and a beautiful Salmon and Trout for your efforts, always good to have something to talk about 👏👏
What a belter well done. Certainly time for a new reel that one is sounding like a corn crake 😂😂. Tight lines for the next trip.
🤣 new reel purchased, I'll sort out tomorrow
@scottishoutdoorlife good stuff. Still catching more salmon than me this season with a reel that's making noises 🤣.
Yeah thanks toby, already got a new replacement for Roan and hopefully another few on the bank soon 👍
Great video again. Good to see a few fish about. Heading upto Cargill for a couple of days in a couple of weeks time so hopefully the run continues.
You should do ok there. Thanks for watching 👍
Beautiful fish , great videos you show.
I still think of catching Salmon as a food source , because i like eating Salmon .
Ive stopped fishing for them because i cant keep a few for the table., that one you just released would of made great eating, all the best

Looks magic 👍 👌 🏴
It was a cracker and 👍
This is great news, what a fish. Congratulations mate…. Great show of fish. May long it continue 🙏🏻
Thanks again for watching, yeah it's been a decent year so far. Hopefully one of two more to be had yet. 👍
Nice fish great water...
Thanks for watching again Billy. It certainly was a cracker 👍
My man strikes again...well done mint fish, mint video...oh you need a new spinning reel😂😂😂
Thanks Adam. I certainly do. Thanks for watching again 👍
Nice one Iain , my Shimano made the same noise I put some grease in the gearbox it seems to be ok now.
Thanks so much, I'll just need to figure out how to get into the gearbox now 🤣
Love the way you give the fish plenty of time to recover….to many people just unhook and let it off
Totally agree. They gave us the pleasure of catching them, the least we can do is make sure they get away OK. Thanks for watching 👍
That was a very short fight but as the mouth was locked it's no wonder. quite big fish for there so a good catch indeed:)
Hi, yes also explains the fact it went crazy. They often do that when the mouths are locked shut. Thanks for watching 👍
What a beauty bar of silver👍
Thanks James 👍

That reel sounds like a corncrake with a soar throat but it did well with the 18pounder well done.
It does, it's really annoying.. thanks for watching 👍
Another nice fish Ian,your certainly getting a nice total
Please buy a new reel😂
Thanks Stuart one or two now on the books, double figures I think. Roan has a new one I've been using just now, it's a dream compared to the old one. Having a think which one I'll get.
Great video. Thinking of fishing sat 14th. No idea if it’s upper or lower, what’s best??

That's great thank you. And do you have a seasonal permit? As I see your down there quite a lot
I fish Walkmill beat a lot, not Luncarty. I'm lucky I know a lot of the guests and they invite me down.
That is a proper fish there ar one ar to more fish this year will done u will catch bigger one next time 😂
Thanks Sandy, definitely agree there's a few more around this year. Thanks for watching 👍
Makes up for all those blank days .its why we keep going back .
Exactly David, hopefully this recent run of fuah continues 👍
I meant spanker
Thought that🤣
Dont think i would be casting under they power lines
Been fishing there since I was 10. They're a lot higher than they look. 👍 thanks for watching
