Salmon Safari 4: Styford, River Tyne 

Fantastic day, well done mate. Must admit I was shouting at you to walk back to the bank to net it, then I saw the size of the net!😂 New net and possibly a new reel....the Oracle reel sounded like a metal grinder.😂

Salmon fishing is just the best! If you don’t catch just being outdoors is awesome In my eyes! Like you said being let loose on someone’s estate! And the feeling you get when you catch is indescribable, I could tell by the look on your face when you was having your cuppa! Well done you, we’ll deserved

That was a strong fish, it wasn't going to give up easily, landed it well. Good sport.....all good fun...🙂👍

Loving the videos and hope to give Salmon fishing a go next year so please keep them coming 👍🏼

Good crack man.Really made up for you mate. some nice memories to see you through the the winter. I like the fact you've kept going with the fly, imho it's the way it should be done,respecting the sport and ultimately more rewarding.👍

Fantastic video, fishing and fish!! Well done and v well deserved...some lovely big Autumn fish!! Well fished and played....not easy on your own when in mid stream, you might want to walk them into the shallows and make it easier on yourself. That reel sounds like a coffee grinder and on its last legs! Recommend a Danielsson L5W as replacement! Well done once more and thanks for sharing.

Great 2fish to the hand them fish have been in the river for a week or so lovely colours on them at this time of year but please please get yourself a better net with a bigger opening as I was looking at your other videos & that net is more hassle than it's worth

Another cracking video, love these keep it up 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

大きな川には大きな魚がいるんですね。時間をかけて取り込む技術が素晴らしいです👍ナイスショット✨

Another great video we just finished our season in Atlantic Canada had a great season my hardy salmon #2 was busy a great reel cheers tight lines love the videos

Great to watch this video after meeting you below Felton this afternoon and spotting your go-pro. Hope to meet you again next season.

Is Bywell on the opposite bank. Seem to recognise it - fished it a few years ago but the money they want for it nowadays is over the top IMO. Cheers Phil

Great day on the water, nice fish

Defo stick a muddler on the dropper. Something like a teal blue and silver on the point. Dibble the muddler as it swings round

Great video and good catches. Your new net will make things easier but give yourself sone slack line once you’ve netted a fish and make sure you recover them. These were played right out so need held in the current for a good few minutes before they go back.

This is my favourite beat. I try and get here when I can. I don’t live far away so that’s a bonus. The gamekeeper Eck is great too.

Just watched your Styford video and wondered what the access to the river is like as I travel with a Motorhome and I’m looking to perhaps book Styford this year?

😂thank the lord u cleaned and oiled that reel, well done great video, tight lines for next season.

Bacon looks a bit raw, cracking fish great video keep them coming

Awesome!! Cracking pair!! Well dome!! You need to upgrade from the butterfly net!! 🦋

Great vid mate what brand of net is it you use look very good

Magic, thanks. On The Tyne this w/e. Water could be high after all this rain. Hey ho

A great day and a lovely river , very fishy as you say. Glad the reel is sorted , if it happens again might be a bearing,if that’s what’s in there? It could lock up at the wrong moment and bang 😢.😬 So Dear 🧑‍🎄 please bring me a nice new net and a shiny new reel. I’ve been so good! 😂 You were saying about your casting maybe your line isn’t exactly suiting your lovely new rod, but if your going for a lesson a good instructor will know straight away. If like me, I bought the exact line I was told to, but couldn’t really get it to work. So Called back to the instructor and she threw nearly the entire line across the river 😳. “Bad workman blames his tools”. But if there not matched it can make make it tricky . It’s more than likely you just need more time with it, the flex is probably a bit different to what your use to, so more miles. 👍👍

That massive bacon bap you were eating at 1.20 looked the absolute business mate. Where did you buy that???

Could I recommend Barry Mitchell for a lesson. Lives Morpeth . Loving your channel btw.

Over all I do like your reports from your fishing days. But why don‘t you have your pliers ready to use hanging outside your jacket? Why do you try to release the fish out in the current instead in the shallows near the bank, where you can reduce fight-time and you can drop your rod to use both hands for proper fish handling, when the fish becomes ready? Tight-lines, Steve

I am looking to go up to the beat tomorrow but I can’t seem to find a ghillie number or any other number

What camera are you using mate? Love your enthusiasm in your videos. Few of us fished the tweed at the back end of this year, cadrona beat and fairnilee, give them a look. Tight lines

Shame you didn’t eat them they very good to eat not sure if you know that 😊

Why are Tyne salmon dark brown and not silver like fresh from sea.????

There’s been fish caught form my club off the south and main tyne over 27lbs

Get a McLean salmon/sea trout net.

Suggestion: If you want or intend to net a Salmon, get a Salmon net rather than a Trout net. Bending fish in a net,,,, bad practice. Kudos like your videos

That reel doesent sound like it's in very good shape.

Bigger net needed

I can't understand house guys go to fish rivers with big salmon running them and you have a silly wee landing net,I use a 30ins net,it is better for you and the fish,it's candidates r ,you are doing great but please get a real salmon net it's so frustrating watching you trying to net those big salmon,but we'll done otherwise.

Two really good salmon, can I ask you what size hook your fly is?and is it a double and a barbed end? Thanks for your last reply
