I may have lost the fish Christopher but I did have a good day . The company was good and the weather wasn't against me for a change Cheers Iain 🥃

No regrets Tommy I had the excitement of hooking the fish and I hope that its sensible and avoids lures in the future Tight Lines Cheers Iain 🥃

Thank you very much Niall I have in the past thought about giving up editing my trips as the older I get the longer it takes to edit and then respond to comments ......... I am lucky that I have comments like yours that make me spend time sifting through my recordings looking for bits that may interest. You are obviously blessed like myself that you have the time and friends that help us make the effort to go try different rivers and beats. I have found that a lot of Ghillies are helpful but don't like appearing on KZfaq which is a shame as there is a lot of great characters with some amazing stories that may never be passed on. I wish you all the best for the rest of the season and coming seasons and will also lift a wee dram to toast your good health and your visits to pastures new Tight lines. Cheers Iain. 🥃 recently I was told by an angler that I had the voice that would suit radio and my face also suited radio . so no chance of appearing on TV. 😋

I think that I have said it before that I am blessed with the opportunity to fish some great beats around the area that I stay . I also have the chance to go fish on the river Thurso again at the start of August so I am looking forward to it Tight Lines wherever you fish. Cheers Iain 🥃

I have hooked a few fish in front of weirs and caulds and they usually got up into the pools when the fish turned it was right on the edge of the fast water and I think it was the current that took it over when it turned sideways Tight lines cheers Iain 🥃

we have had a bad start to the season Andrew this year we have had a lot of seals coming up river and clearing pools of residents . there are some pools that haven't recovered and fish won't lie in them due to the lack of resident fish. the seals seem to have cleared a lot of trout from the lower beats on some east coast rivers. Cheers Iain

we et a few wee brownies when we were ladies . I can't remember the last time I kept one . maybe the next pan size one will come home with me. Catch you for a beer sometime Cheers Iain. 🥃

Thanks John I think it was a decent sized fish and with the flow of water on its side there wasn't any way of stopping it Cheers Iain. 🥃

I enjoyed my day Daniel great company and a great place to fish. I will look forward to going back there Cheers Iain. 🥃

That is eight salmon hooked and only one landed. that's fishing and I would never complain about hooking fish and loosing them its the pool and the initial drag on the line that gets me every time Tight Lines. Cheers Iain. 🥃

I have always counted my self as being lucky Colin. to have the health, good friends and a wee bit of money to spend on fishing . I am definitely blessed Cheers Iain. 🥃....... it was definitely a decent size

Thank you Ian I have had quite a few comments like yours and that kept me editing and adding to KZfaq Cheers Iain. 🥃

I have been lucky again this year Steve. I have managed to fish some great stretches on a lot of different rivers. I am now an expert at losing fish This has taken years of practise to perfect 🤩 Cheers Iain. 🥃

It is good to get out James and I never mind loosing a few fish it makes it all the better when I do the catching. I will be out again soon and have my week booked for the Thurso in August so looking forward to that trip Cheers Iain. 🥃

Thanks Alex we are lucky having a sport that gives us so much excitement Can you ever compare getting a hole in one at golf to hooking a salmon Tight lines. Cheers Iain 🥃

Thank you Frank over the years that I have added videos to KZfaq I have thought about giving it up but when I get comments like yours it gives me the encouragement to keep recording and adding Cheers Iain 🥃

I have no complaints Brian. I have hooked fish in similar spots on different rivers and nearly all head up stream. it's unusual for salmon to go down stream . I think that it tried to turn but got caught in the current and decided to go with it . Just got to keep fishing and having fun . Tight Lines. Cheers Iain. 🥃

I think that I may have been a bit slow in getting my rod up it must have turned after it went over the cauld . If it had kept going I might have been in with a shout. Maybe see you on the Tweed Cheers Iain. 🥃

@@IainSB hopefully see you on the tweed at some point. Any recommendations as I've only fished the Yair? Probably be later in the season though.

I think that it had turned and was going sideways Mark and the current had a hold and it decided to go with it . normally I would have expected a fish to move from the faster water into the depths of the pool I may try get it further upstream at the back end Cheers Iain. 🥃

@@IainSB rotten luck. Better luck next time.

Sometimes it's good to sit and watch fish Steve, I think it would be frustrating watching if we had to do it as a sport . I have fished a lower beat on the Tweed a few times and never saw a fin. They must be hammering past and only stopping when they get to the middle beats Cheers Iain. 🥃

@@IainSB keep making the vids it keeps us all sane

variety is the spice of life so they say I just love fishing and getting the chance to fish on different beats is something that I do appreciate Cheers Iain. 🥃

@@IainSB take it if you can get it, i just struggle to drive back from going fishing distances after the day .

Its all about getting out and enjoying fishing hooking fish is a bonus and landing one an even bigger bonus . I can settle for a bonus and will probably have to wait a while until I get a big bonus 👍 Cheers Iain. 🥃

I have my August week coming soon on the Thurso and I will annoy a few salmon with two flies on Hopefully 🤞. Cheers Iain. 🥃

I have fished a few tails of pools that are like that Paul and usually the salmon will go upstream . you can't see in the video but the fish did turn and I think it was going to head up into the pool but the current got a hold of it and took it over the cauld and there it was gone Cheers Iain. 🥃
