What a fantastic day Rob. A day you’ll never forget. Days like that make up for the poor days, missed and lost fish and the long drives. I’ve actually watched this video twice I enjoyed it so much. Tight lines.
Well done Rob, what a great day's fishing. Red letter day's like that don't come along too often. Good to see you in the right place at the right time. Brilliant 👏
This was a treat to watch! I’m a guide in the US and spend about a month a year in Scotland and rarely fish…. This video makes me want to change that….
Outstanding fishing well done Rob, Findhorn is my favourite river and days like this are very rare. Really well done on the catches and great footage very enjoyable to watch :)
Many thanks, I must admit that after a 6 hour drive to land and find the river so low was devastating but I suppose you never know how things are going to go. I'm saving watching your last couple of videos for the winter when the cabin fever really sets in.
@@abakerslife Aye thats a long drive it almost never works out like this so fantastic you got it all on camera. My wife calls the winter the season of depression 🤣😆
@abakerslife I lost another fish unfortunately that's 5 in a row I've lost now. Dad got one. Saw an absolute monster jump hoping I've got footage of it. Video will be out on the 12th. Got another video from my week at Tomatin house coming out this Saturday.
That's got to be tough to take though I do know someone who lost 17 in a row and he is a good hand as well. It happens to the best of us. Next year it will even out I'm sure.
Well done lad and all a very short distance from my property, The findhorn has always been a good river and then there is the Nairn which was excellent after a spate. The day you had was commonplace in the 70's as the fish were plentiful. My Dad used to joke that in the 40's and 50's when the water was low you could walk across the river on the salmons backs. Superb day for you and very well fished mate.👍🏴
Awesome! Great to share your red letter day. Just fantastic. I've been wanting to fish the Findhorn. Really inspired now. Well done. Looking forward to part two, Rob.
@abakerslife Might have an excuse to get close as #1 child is starting a masters in Aberdeen.... Mrs P is never pleased when holiday packing involves fishing kit (or golf clubs)! Looks like a nice little lift on the Coquet this week, but alas I'm in Milwaukee!
Well done, you caught it right and fished it very well. Enjoy, those kind of days don’t come along often as you know! Thank you for taking us along for the ride 👍
Cheers Phil, it's certainly a long shank to get up there but I have a suspicion I will be making that trip a few more times in the years to come. It's hard not to have an affinity with the river where you caught your first salmon.
Brilliant day's fishing Rob, well done You!!. The river seemed to be full of fish, hope the numbers this year will show an improvement for salmon and sea trout by the seasons end!!Cheers Peter.
Well done! That was a great bit of fishing Rob ,lovely pools even in low - water .Definitely a river I would like to fish what beat or pools where you fishing ?
Brilliant you got that many Rod, this took me back to when I had a day to remember on the findhorn, what a river( that was only 2 months ago😂) where was it you were fishing that you could fish on Sundays?
Hi friend, is there a way of contacting you? I am trying to help a friend who is a lifelong fisherman and very keen to make a connection with you. He shares your passion for the river...
Well done Rob, what a great day's fishing. Red letter day's like that don't come along too often. Good to see you in the right place at the right time. Brilliant

Nicely done, no background music. Just the sound of the water, you talking to yourself and the line going out. Perfect.
Many thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing, as previously said, no background music etc just someone enjoying the day and at peace with the world.
Glad you enjoyed the video

Many thanks, bring your gear you're missing out. Scotland has so many fine rivers you could enjoy.
Great video Rob, thanks for sharing.
That’s a once in a lifetime day to remember, enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the river and the views around you. Well done 👏👏
Many thanks, glad you enjoyed the trip. I certainly did!
Thanks for sharing. We fished Drynachan for years and when they are on it is paradise.
Lucky you, I will be back for sure

Excellent fishing and video Rob, well done and well deserved, lovely to hear that reel 'sing' and great to see you getting in amongst them!
Many thanks, a fat stroke of luck for once.
What a day and what a season you are having. Im hoping for some of your luck for tomorrow for the last day of the season on the Findhorn.
Cheers, yes I've had plenty of good luck this year. Hope you got a last day pull or two.

@@abakerslife I hope so. Still got a couple of days planned. I'm about to put a short up of the monster jumping.
Will keep an eye out for the leviathan

Many thanks, it was nice to get a taste of how things used to be. You're lucky to have so many good rivers nearby.
A masterclass. Never seen fishing like it - quite incredible, I lost count of how many fish you landed!
Just pure good luck, right place right time for once.
Well done Rob , what a pretty river and what a great day of fishing. So glad you hit it right and found some willing salmon
Thanks Joe, thanks for coming along for the ride.
Awesome!
Great to share your red letter day. Just fantastic.
I've been wanting to fish the Findhorn. Really inspired now.
Well done. Looking forward to part two, Rob.
Cheers, it's time you persuaded your good lady that a holiday up there is a good idea.

Cheers, if that's the only day like that I ever have so be it, at least I've had a taste of how things used to be.
Excellent video Rob. What a day you had, definitely one to remember. Well done 🤘🎣
Many thanks mate
That was amazing a terrific day. You will remember that day for ever. Tight lines from AUS
Thanks Norman, tight lines to you.
Amazing memorable day, that will keep you going for a bit! Well done.
Many thanks
Wow. What a day. Well done. Lovely river. Sweet dreams. A day to remember.
Many thanks, at last something to offset all those blank days.
Wow!!!!! What a day’s fishing you had there 👏🏼👏🏼
For once in my life I landed in the right place at the right time, cheers
Stunning sir in the right place at the right time that's salmon fishing and a change of fly can make all the difference well done what a day
Many thanks, a big fat stroke of luck that day but I suppose every dog has his day.
Congrats Rob.
What a day.
The very, very long drive up there well worth it!
Stunning

Well done indeed. Bullied them in so they went back easily. Love the clips of the takes, it’s just like it is. Nice one.
Many thanks, yes I'm playing my fish a lot harder these days for just that reason
Well done ..the Zelda looks like a colorfull thing ,must be the one they fancied .those banjos looked tasty too.
Tight lines !
Cheers it seemed to go down well that day
What a day! Well done, perseverance definitely pays off for all the ones lost. 👍
Yes! Thank you! Every dog has his day eventually
Well done Robb, fantastic unforgettable day's fishing.
Absolutely, many thanks
Fantastic Sir!! Very well done!! You and Zelda are quite the double act!!
Thank you kindly!
Finally you hit a good window AND had the amount of fish to go with it, great stuff 👍
Thanks, at last a taste of how things used to be.
Lovely fish in difficulty water, your luck held for once. Many thanks for sharing your adventures.
Thanks, rigjt place right time for once!
Brilliant day's fishing Rob, well done You!!. The river seemed to be full of fish, hope the numbers this year will show an improvement for salmon and sea trout by the seasons end!!Cheers Peter.
Cheers, I think it's been a good year on some rivers, the Findhorn and Tweed especially.
Awesome man,😊, Cannae beat it, well done 🏴🏴🎣
Many thanks mate
Well done Rob !,what a great time fishing ,you must have been buzzing ! I would 🍻
More stunned than anything else
Great day on the water. Best days' fishing Ive watched from Scotland
Thanks, I hoped at some point I'd have a day like that to get a taste of what it used to be like.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Good Angling and what a stunning looking river and location 👌
Many thanks
I'm loving your videos, must have put a smile on your face time and time again with all those hookups, has this been your best outing so far? 😃
Absolutely never had more than 2 in a day before.
cracking trip mate, well done, lovely place up there.
Many thanks, it surely is.
Wow what a days fishing mate well done!! A video on that fly would be very cool and of the bacon!! 🐟🎣🔥👍👌
Many thanks, me tying flies is painful to watch but the bacon one I could manage!
My mouth watering over food whilst watching a class salmon vid 😂, superb day mate , well done
Many thanks, glad you enjoyed it
Fantastic video mate and even better fishing well done mate
Many thanks, my day in the sun at last

Absolutely brilliant mate! 🎣 🐋
Many thanks
Halcyon day! Fantastic really enjoyed the video 👍👍
Many thanks 👍
Cracking day in very difficult conditions Rob. Well done
Thanks, when I got up there and saw how low it was I was gutted but I suppose you never can tell how things are going to go.
The Good Life 🌼no doubting that 👍
Yep, luckily not all fishing days are that successful otherwise where would be the fun?
What a day, the salmon Gods were certainly shining on you. Makes all those days we blank almost worth it, well almost.
Cheers, every dog has his day eventually I suppose.
Amazing day fishing 🎣 what line do you pair with the Oracle rod? Casts a dream
I use a Barrio switch 6/7 on it and it's a pleasure to cast.
Thank you I have just got an Oracle and looking to pair a line up 🎣
Hi Rob
Is that a Oracle 7/8 switch
Many thanks. Great video
Class video as always pal 🎣👌
Cheers mate
Epic battle on one of the most magic rivers
It's certainly a special water, can't wait to get back up there next year.
Well done Rob! Great video. When you’ve come back down to earth do your bacon curing vid. Jill R
Many thanks, will.do
Brilliant stuff, well done .....still canny see me using that zelda fly though 😂
Looks like a dogs dinner but if it works why not? I think it was just something they hadn't seen before.
What a day mate well done 👏
Many thanks
Amazing day's fishing Rob
Many thanks, pure luck 🍀
Well done! That was a great bit of fishing Rob ,lovely pools even in low - water .Definitely a river I would like to fish what beat or pools where you fishing ?
Thanks, pure luck though. I was fishing Drynachan, I don't remember the names of the pools though I'm afraid.
Hi Rob we’re on the Findorn what beat looks good wading
Hi, it was Drynachan.
Well done what a day you had
Mary thanks, definitely a day to think back upon during the long winter nights
Days like that are very rare these days. Landing salmon single handed is hard work.
Well at least I had my day in the sun even if it never happens again.
Brilliant you got that many Rod, this took me back to when I had a day to remember on the findhorn, what a river( that was only 2 months ago😂) where was it you were fishing that you could fish on Sundays?
You're not the guy who had 14 on Glenferness?! The Findhorn seems to have had a good year.
I travelled upon Sunday and fished Monday
@@abakerslife no I had missed a few and my dad landed a 16 1/2 cock fish the landscape was incredible
Some job fair play lovely fish
Many thanks
Great videos
Many thanks
Great work Sir
Many thanks
Well done amazing river
It sure is and seems to have had a good year.
@@abakerslife on tomatin house today upstream. Fish around fingers crossed.
Stunning river. Is that the Rio trout spey line you're using?
I was using a Barrio switch line. I have a friend who raves about the rio trout spey line though
Hi m8 great video can i ask did you have a tip on or was it a straight leader
Cheers, I was fishing a 15' intermediate tip
Well done 👌🎣🎣
Thanks 👍
Great day fishing mate had a 18 to 20 the other day have the video up on channel
Looks like you've had a really good year
@@abakerslife yeah mate have 28 and lost 19 so far this year
Sore arm that evening I bet, great to watch
Cheers 🍻
Well done Rob that's a days fishing to remember 🎣 What setup were you using ?
Hi, Shakespeare Oracle switch with a Barrio switch line #6/7- was perfect for the job
Brilliant Fishing
Many thanks
what size /colour of zelda were you using ,cheers
It was a black one tied on a 1/2" plastic tube
@@abakerslife thanks for the reply
WELL DONE!!!!
Cheers 🍻
hey.... what is that line and stick you're using? regards
I was using a Shakespeare Oracle switch rod with a Barrio switch line
@@abakerslife request to provide the stick class and link class and whether it is skagit or scandi. 🙃
7/8 wt rod, 6/7 wt line. It's a switch line so closer in taper to a scandi than a skagit
@@abakerslifehey... What length of line leader do you use?
lovely fish mate what fly are you using to catch those beauties
?😁
Cheers, mostly I was fishing a zelda fly (a bit like a black frances).
@@abakerslife ok thank you
P.S. don’t forget the bacon curing video 🤙
WOW!
Cheers, rigjt place right time.
👍
Hi friend, is there a way of contacting you? I am trying to help a friend who is a lifelong fisherman and very keen to make a connection with you. He shares your passion for the river...
Braw 👍
Many thanks 👍
Well as a very critical Salmon angler I'm disgusted... no sauce on ya sandwich...who's Jealous? 😬
I know...my range of condiments in the van needs improving!
Well done Rob, what a great day's fishing. Red letter day's like that don't come along too often. Good to see you in the right place at the right time. Brilliant
Many thanks
