Experience will teach you to just take your time trying to land fish before it is ready is a common one . I really enjoy watching your videos and you have the right outlook for fishing enjoy it and be able to laugh at your efforts good or bad. Hopefully next time it will get into the net. Cheers Bob
Hi Danny I was just using a 7-8 weight rod here, big enough to cast a size 12 salmon pattern but would struggle if I started using tubes or sink tips, very good for a shallow small river though!
@@DaibhidhBiy ah that's cool, I've been using 6-8 weight so far but feel like I need to sink it a bit deeper in a few of the pools to get down to them, a bit of a dilemma. Awesome videos btw, great ferox(X2?👀) in the other video! I've had a few down here in the lake District but not on mackerel 😂
@@FeversMcGraw you could maybe get away with an 8 weight line for some of the smaller tube flies or a sink tip maybe? My ferox x2 on mackerel is my still my only one to this day!
@@DaibhidhBiy a 7/8 wt will handle tubes and sink tips no bother. I use a single handed 7 at and an 8at for sea troot at night and fish up to 2" ally tubes no bother. Also use them for salmon when the river drops and they handle 1/2" and 3/4" copper tubes on a sink tip. 👍
