Thanks, yes the rivers seem to be picking up a bit now. Long may it continue, tight lines 👍

Thanks, definitely

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.

@@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.

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 👏👏

Thanks, yes it must be the electrical field or something.

You should do ok there. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks so much, I'll just need to figure out how to get into the gearbox now 🤣

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.

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 👍

Thanks again for watching, yeah it's been a decent year so far. Hopefully one of two more to be had yet. 👍

It does, it's really annoying.. thanks for watching 👍

It was a cracker and 👍

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 👍

🤣 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 👍

Hi, yes also explains the fact it went crazy. They often do that when the mouths are locked shut. Thanks for watching 👍

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. 👍

Thanks for watching again Billy. It certainly was a cracker 👍

Thanks Adam. I certainly do. Thanks for watching again 👍

Thanks James 👍

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.

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. 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 👍

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.

Thanks Sandy, definitely agree there's a few more around this year. Thanks for watching 👍

Exactly David, hopefully this recent run of fuah continues 👍

Thought that🤣

Been fishing there since I was 10. They're a lot higher than they look. 👍 thanks for watching

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. 👍
