Worm fishing for salmon on the river Moy 

Superb. Vicious strikes and great scraps. I love worm fishing with a ball bouncing betty

I won the fishing competition on this river back in 1993. I was on holiday with my dad over there and caught the only salmon of the day on the worm. I loved it over there, the pubs were amazing (even though I was only 13 lol), the festival was amazing too. Cracking place! I've always wanted to go back

My Grandma, Agnes Loftus was born in Straide and spoke fondly of catching salmon in the River Moy. She would have loved to watch this...

It's an art in it's own right the worm!!

Jesus that hook was set good! That 1st fight was insane

Coolcronins fishery ,the famous rock pool 😎

well done wayne..good to see a nice bit of skill

Long shank hook, 8" forceps, barbed shank hold worm, debarb barb on gape, open salmons mouth (bottom lip), hold line in middle finger, put 8" forceps down fishes mouth, lift up any loose worm/s, put forceps in gape of hook gently squeeze gape with forceps, down, twist and pull out, takes all in (staying relaxed and confident) approx 5 - 8 seconds to un hook any size of salmon. Try it (not you but those that can't un hook any round fish. Tried and tested over many many years. More you try it it gets very easy to do, remember debarb your barb on gape, i use single hooks with two barbs up the shank to hold the worm. We are not allowed to float fish for salmon, but if i was i would be using a much smaller float, that looks like a float for sea fishing. Tight lines.

Hello, super fish!! What part of the moy,..... i fish teh moy near Foxford...greatings from Bavaria

Just checking is it allowed the bubble and worm I thought it was bubble and fly

Good Stuff....Great Video, Thanks!!! - 👍

U won the fishing competition here like three times

Thanks for the video, going to the blackwater “Waterford/Cork border “ to try catch my first salmon, Iv put a lot of time into it but no luck yet, hopefully tomorrow after the weekend of rain 🙏

For those of us new to worming for salmon, perhaps you could make a video in which you talk us through the rig, hook size, line strength, whether you mend the line to stop any bowing etc. Thanks.

Float looks upside down and whats that green thing hanging down,you caught a good fish it must be done right

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿try them in chip pan well worth it great meal, scampi, chips and garden peas with tartare sauce

What number float (size 8?) were you using and how much weight in the jumping jack (30g?). Thanks

Great fish any chance you can post the set-up

Thanks for posting🎣🎣 Roll on summer 👍

What was the water depth reading at ballylahon bridge on this day?

Question: If salmon don't eat in fresh water why then do they swallow the worm so deep, I've seen this many times before??

Good man Wayne ✌️great channel 👌Subscribed

Fish look rather small mate when you said it was salmon ?

Fishing in this place such a wonderful nature good job man do it again i wanna see more video like this

Nice ones for the grill Wayne. Grand day out too.

The 3rd was some take can you explain your set up to me im curious

Looks like a blast nice one and also would like to see the set up 👍🏻👍🏻

I uses a bouncing Betty but never with a float how do it work

3 in 1 day. Nice going

Ahh Wayne, so many people full of so much shite. Love your videos and your accent.

Come to the west coast of Canada one day, you’d be amazed by the salmon runs here

....which is why worm is often banned on most waters.......you end up playing the poor salmon from it's guts. Salmon often swallow a worm greedily. Shrimps, they often bite savagely and shake, and incredibly often spit out without getting hooked lol, but worms they gulp down. You are very lucky Irish waters a) allow you to take spring fish for the pot (here in stupid England, all salmon must be returned before June 16th. Madness.) and b) allowed to worm fish.

Lovely. Cant wait to get down again.

What kind of worms?

Hopefully I can get me first ever salmon this year on the moy

How heavy was float tube and snake sinker?

why is the worm green , is it a real worm ?

Couple a fine fish👍

I travel up from South East England to west Scotland twice a year and the salmon numbers resulting from salmon farms is astonishing and I have yet to catch one though I have caught a lot of sea trout and brown trout,it's almost all catch and release there and even though I understand that they are trying to help the small amount of rod fisherman fishing now adays is so small and the amount of seals and cormarent taking fish is crazy! I have no problems with someone who pays hundreds of pounds to take a few small fish it's better than the bigger three seasons at sea fish we need to save!! I also think I would also like to keep my first fish if it's a fresh run smaller fish as it's my first but would probably return most every single fish after that! As long as you don't take loads I can't see the problem???

Putting fish in a plastic bag on a summers day , absolutely mindless. Get yourself a portable cool bag at least guy.

Nae wunner there’s a decline in salmon 🤦🏻‍♂️ you should try the fly fishing for them

Love from Pakistan i really like fishing im a rod fisher boy i really wanna you invite me for one week fishing trip there in Ireland

Didn’t see these fish being tagged???

Nice fishing, but why are they so small in size?

Good video scrim, you were only 49 there😁

All 3 fish was hit on the head in the same spot. 🔨 use the hammer next time paddy.

There's only one word to use when you miss a bite, and you've it it off to a tee.😅

I thought it was illegal the Moy burn Highlands Scotland if it's the Moy that runs into the Findhorn is a spawning burn.. I got the Moy burn fishing rights when it enters the Findhorn but never fished the spawning burn...

Very nice 👍

Great video nothing wrong with taking a feed modern world is crazy I suppose it's better to eat farmed rubbish 😂

Dont know if your an experienced Angler ,but looking at your float its upside down ,and you should be well capable of getting the hook out with a good disgorge out of 10 /2

This is the worst thing about fishing the worm they swallow the lot and theres no returning them,personally i would never kill a salmon that small its outragious and i have caught manyyyyyyyyy salmon on the moy over the years.

Please fry or bbq grill them

Game men kill all as usual ....

Maybe do some catch and release… worm fisherman 😂

You were fishing with the float the wrong way up your meant too have the bright fatter side sitting above the water that's the reason they paint them orange 🤣🤣🤣

got a headache watched your video

Good to see dead fish. Well done.

must be 100s of fish there...

Really not that bright to still be killing fish. We all love our fishing but also know the immense pressure salmon are under. Beyond me that you're still knocking multiple fish on the head. I'm sure one would do you just fine if you insisted on fish for dinner...

I can't believe that this kind of so called fishing is allowed...

I love learn more about salmon fishing but the person in this video needs to talk?? 😐

That’s all your gonna catch with that method. Tiny fish, best method in the moy is the fly or my personal favourite the black fly n c. I had 20 last year at foxford all released the biggest was 15lbs. Your just killing baby fish with that terrible method

Why not just chap the fish as intended instead of making the viewers think you practice c@r. If that was the case u wouldn't be fishing the worm and you certainly wouldn't spend 10 mins fighting a 4lb fish with your drag set on 3.. Enjoy it whilst it lasts the moy is finished as a salmon fishery due to mismanagement of all those who grace its banks.. Such a shame

Neanderthal 🤣🤣🤣

It’s weird your aloud to kill salmon do that here in Scotland you could potentially go to jail most likely a fine
