Thanks Colin A most enjoyable day and to get a weee fish was a bonus the river this autumn has never really settled in October and the rain yeas tardy and to day will have put the river up again. I was going to try and get out tomorrow but I think it may be too high. Cheers Iain. 🥃

Thanks Jon. I love to fish at Cardrona in the Autumn the colours of the landscape change daily and a wee fish is a bonus . I loved your rendition of Blackbird . Milo my cat sat and watched on my knee and started hauling when you stopped . Pass on my birthday wishes Cheers Iain 🥃

@@IainSB Thank you, Iain - most kind. One of these days I will combine the music with a film of a fishing trip.

👍

Thanks Stevie you can see why I go fishing there as much as I can Cheers Iain. 🥃

It has been an effective part of my tool kit Marcel I will need to get my vice out and prepare for next season Cheers Iain. 🥃

@@IainSB it sure is. Maybe you might try to make a fly with a little red in it. I have seen a couple of clips of someone who is quite successful with a red dominated fly. For on days that the fishies are a little picky. Cheers and good health to you Iain!

Thanks again Stephen. I hope that you didn't watch them all at once because you were bored 👍. Cheers Iain. 🥃

@@IainSB 😂😂😂

there are quite a few fish about Tight lines on your trips 😉. Cheers Iain. 🥃

I hope that next season is a good one for you Paddy. I have another four weeks of enjoyment to go ..... tight lines for your comming season Cheers Iain. 🥃

I go home sore sometimes James casting into the wind certainly gets the joints moving Cheers Iain 🥃

The river has dropped a bit now and we could do with a lift Bob I am hoping that Sundays rain will help. and then I may have to watch my step again Cheers Iain. 🥃

Thanks Andrew it takes a bit of time for me to edit the videos and I do appreciate your comment . it was great to see the wee fish shoot off the it was returned. Cheers Iain. 🥃

I have seen a lot of big fish but never managed to land one yet Steve . Hopefully there will be one with my name on its side Cheers Iain 🥃

well done Paul there seems to be a lot more fish about than everyone thought in the summer months Cheers Iain. 🥃

I am glad that my efforts in editing give you pleasure Tony . I have still got to catch up with a few more trips and I hope that they keep you going also. Cheers Iain. 🥃

I have been out again since then James 😀 and I hope that my editing can have you listen to my reel again Cheers Iain. 🥃

Thanks I have a few more trips to edit Pal hope you will enjoy them when I get around to getting them onto KZfaq Cheers Iain 🥃

It's strange Mr Mazo that some days that I have been fishing fish splash all over the place I think that this year they must be camera shy I can recommend the trip to Cardrona Cheers Iain. 🥃

Thanks Neil as you have probably noticed I enjoy my fishing Tight lines on your next trip Cheers Iain. 🥃

It great to get a wee fish like that Robert and have it fight so hard and then scream back into the depths Cheers Iain 🥃

another enjoyable day at Cardrona Stephen. A lovely wee fish for the bonus Cheers Iain. 🥃

I have fished on the beat for a lot of years Dave and been fortunate only to trip in that pool once . I had to chase my rod down the pool as I dropped it trying to save myself from injury. These days I go at a slower pace and that helps me stay on my feet it was good to see the fish go off at speed when it was returned Cheers Iain. 🥃

The fishing isn't that expensive at £68 per day I know that the time you have travel expenses and accommodation it all adds up . add to that a treat for your wife because you love her and it then becomes a lottery win good luck on the lottery and remember me. 😉. Cheers Iain. 🥃

How do you get on Iain, not fishpal? I Fancy a few days next season.

I have fished at Cardrona for a lot of years Tam I caught my first salmon from the Dirtpot a fish of 18lb no wonder I keep going back. The beat has been good to me over the years with some fantastic catches and big fish. Cheers Iain.

Hi Stevie The line I am using is a Rio Scandi Short Muti tip (using the floating Tip). the rod is rated for a 7. but the line is a 8 weight and it loads the rod well. I also have a 5ft sinking polly tip just to get the fly down a bit these lines work well with shorter rods and its a switch rod I am using I also the same set up on my 12 ft rod . I hope that helps Cheers Iain. 🥃

@@IainSB Thanks Iain, appreciate the advice.

The season goes on until the end of November Norman. years ago we used to get runs ov big silver fish the last two weeks of the season but clean fish are few and far between got to keep trying for them Cheers Iain 🥃

Thanks Cameron The catches this years during the spring and summer had anglers a bit doom and gloom but it is good to see the numbers in the pools in the upper beats splashing about . I do think that there are as many seatrout as usual and I have seen a good quantity of large fish splash some are in excess of 20lb but never managed to get hold of one . hopefully I will get to shake hands with a big fish before the end of the season Cheers Iain. 🥃

fish spawn throughout the river I have seen fish spawn from August in the lower beats and the good water levels we get in the Autumn the fish go up the small burns at the source of the tweed . The. Buddy burn had a fish counter on it years ago and I believe that in one 24 hour stretch over 100 fish went past. the Biggar burn and the Lyne water see a lot of fish spawn. Cheers Iain 🥃
