Low water - new river/ nice fish 🎣

In this session I headed out with dean and jonty in hope to catch a salmon off a new river to me, took me a while but managed it ✅.
Then I went for a few casts on the river I’ve been fishing regularly and it didn’t take me long to find a salmon.
Purple whiskers red prawns doing the business again 🦐.

Lovely bit of angling, calm and well returned.. good work buddy

[@fieldsportscumbria]

Thank you 👍

[@wolfypics7339]

Cracking fish especially the 1st one..

[@fieldsportscumbria]

Yeah was just that bit better it being on a new river for me

[@ianwaddell3282]

love to see them going back

[@fieldsportscumbria]

The best way nowadays, like the odd fish to eat but stocks more important 🎣

[@Cumbrianangler]

🎣🎣 good battle that first one

[@fieldsportscumbria]

Yeah gave a decent fight for the size of the pool as well

[@PhilipMullis]

Small spate rivers, decent. Same as my local river, we’v got a few running now, but they ain’t stopping no where, there running right on up.. good fish though, tight lines.

[@martinforsyth6976]

Cracking fish them mate. Could you give more details of your set ups and how you bait up. Thanks mate

[@fieldsportscumbria]

Yeah I should have done at the start of it, the method is the free line prawn 🦐

[@jacklivesey-m7l]

Be up there in a couple of weeks time for the weekend. Fished them both from being a kid. Be there more if it was 100 miles from home. Great to see a few being caught. Where are you on the Calder? Just below monk seat?

Those clear cumbrian rivers look great to fish i would love to spot salmon and watch the take. Cant see a thing on my clubs water its too dark because of peat.

[@fieldsportscumbria]

@@Eggyfart83 what system you fishing ? Feels strange fishing a peaty river for me always wonder if they can see stuff well 🤣

[@isaacbell.]

Class 👍🏼

[@fieldsportscumbria]

Thanks Isaac

[@derrickmccall3032]

Netting skills a bit suspect never lunge the net at the fish

[@fieldsportscumbria]

@@derrickmccall3032 we have had words about this netting 🤣, you live and you learn

[@jontyhalcrow]

In my defence, it's probably the third fish of someone else's I've netted. Only learn by doing kids

[@fieldsportscumbria]

@@jontyhalcrow since then you’ve wrestled a beast yourself 💪

[@jontyhalcrow]

Still waiting on the 20lbs+

@@jacklivesey-m7l yep that’s the spot 😉, we could do with some more water to move a few about but there’s fish there so always a chance
