Just found your channel and really enjoy it. My Grandad had a caravan at Nether Wasdale and I spent all my school summer holidays fishing Irt, Esk, Ehen so it brings back memories. The run down to Dark Corner that I think. I kept on the caravan after he death but gave it up in my late 20s to focus on my local Ribble, Hodder and Lune iIv still friends in Gosforth Anglers, member of PA etc and always have a trip up each season. Your videos are making me think I should head up more often.

Do you let the prawn go to the bottom?

@jonmakin8203 9 ай бұрын

@@squaretops1 just off the bottom and trot it round. Does depend on conditions though. Had fish before where I’ve stopped the prawn and dropped it just in front of their nose. Incredible to see how they react. Sometimes they give a little quiver, move off then come back and pick it up. Had them come up and roll on it and not pick it. It’s a killer method for sure

Am not sure on the rules in Scotland but prawn/ shrimp is deadly when you master it, easily the best method for taking salmon.

Great little vid and smashing fish. Never heard of shrimping before. So many questions. Where do you get red dyed prawns ? Do you use and main weight to ledger the leader down, and if not then how do you cast the rig without additional weight ?

@fieldsportscumbria Жыл бұрын

I have braid (30lb) to a swivel I attach a small amount of line to the swivel to hooks the shots (weights) then another longer line from the swivel to the pin/ treble. The trick is using the right amount of weight for the current in front of you, don’t want to be hitting them bottom but don’t want it well above there heads either. That’s the skill in the method

Yes, my only question, did it go home or to the pot? I support returning Salmon, I also understand taking a fish on very rare occasions.

After spending 15 mins the fish didnt seem to want to go, hopefully that’s the only salmon I have to take this season as I usually release them.

Treble hook. Holding the fish out of the water. Of course it is dead. So few of these fish left that every single one is critical for their survival.

@@user-zu6qn9ux9nAgreed, but as single anglers there is nothing we can do about that but on the riverbank we can. It goes against the grain that as game fisherman we can’t take a fish for the table but reality is reality and we need as many to fish to spawn as possible

What should be banned ? Yes I’ve been releasing fish for 15+ years, I am all for releasing salmon. Sometimes they simply do not go back. Held that fish in the water for 15 mins waiting for it to get strong and that didn’t happen so took it to eat. ✌️
