its not always about the big trophy fish but more about the enjoyment and scenery and just having a good relaxing time in the outdoors you always look like your having fun and relaxing witch is what its all all about great video by the way
George, the red spots and coloring of those smaller brook trout are always amazing to me. The first one you caught and Martin's were amazing looking fish! Nice looking fish Martin caught!
To avoid confusion between salmon /trout issue ,(from a side angle)the eye on a salmon sits level with the corner (scissors)of the mouth , a trout eye position is in front of the corner (scissors) of the mouth.,hope that helps.
Thanks for the info, been a while since I saw your name in the comments Wingmaster Jimmy. You watched a couple of my videos about 3 years ago if i'm not mistaken
I rarely hook trout on a lure casting down stream that was a nice start. 👌have to agree with you when you said theirs nothing quite like a wild brown trout that or a sea trout cuz both fight amazing regardless of size I'd say pound for pound they are the best UK river species.
Best way to identify the salmon par from the trout is the bone in its tail mafriend, very hard to identify from the brown trout at tht age , tight lines always 🎣 🐠
If you ever come over to northern ireland, theres excellent wild trout fishing, for brownies and sea trout, huge in strangford, also look into the dollaghan trout, a lough neagh fish that runs rivers late in the season and they go up to 20lb+
The dollaghan although predatory are not ferox, they are our own strain of brownies that migrate to lough neagh and then back up the rivers to spawn, they are huge, also our own river gets double figure sea trout
The Im looking into a rigged and ready rod for pike, perch and occasionally carp fishing and im stuck between the predator or infinite max what would you say? Nice sea trout btw
Looking for a rod for both carp and perch is a bit of a tough one, I’d say maybe the X5 or the infinite ultimate 👍 I do like the predator rod, but at 10-30g it’s a bit too heavy for perch
Nice video George! What knot is it to tie braid to swivel that you use mate? And do you just clip the tag end with normal snips - mine are a bit crap at trimming braid Cheers
Great video again George. Most of the rivers round me are fly only. Sometimes you need the spinner to cover the water properly. Lovely seatrout at the end there worth getting drenched all day for 😅.
That would be really frustrating for me I’m awful with a fly rod 😂 I wonder if those kinds of clubs will eventually allow single barbless hook lure fishing
@AdventureFishingUK I doubt it they have been fly only for years. Some if the water is really high early season would let you spin rest of the time it's fly only.
@@adventurefishinguk Awesome. I am a fly fisherman but there are times when you know spinning is going to be more success. Now the trout season is over, looking for somewhere in Lancashire to try my hand at spinning.
It's a brown trout that has left it's home river to feed out at sea. They lose all their brown colour and turn silver, I suppose it's our version of what you'd call a steelhead 👍
@@adventurefishinguk thanks - it would be a awesome fish to eat as steelhead is a lot like salmon. Our steelhead are big and fat and usually put on a huge fight. They are also very weary so hard to catch. Thanks again.
@@adventurefishinguk The easiest way to tell the difference between sea trout and salmon is to pick it up and hold hold it by its tail, a salmon can be held like this but a sea trout will slip from your grip because salmon have outer bony ribs in its tail making it stiff and easy to hold but the trout doesn't so it will slide out from your hand. I use this identification all the time on my local river and it works for me. Great video mate, keep up the good work!
@@adventurefishinguk George, after looking at the differences between a salmon parr and trout on the Internet, I think your tail comment in the video was the most distiguishing feature. It is a salmon parr.
@@adventurefishinguk 110% a trout parr the white lines on the fins tell you that as the trout are spawning right now , also no where near enough fork in the tail , jaw going past eye and at that size it wouldn’t be a salmon parr anyway it would be a smolt and would be silver
Great to have these and other channels following in the footsteps of the much missed John Wilson
Thanks for watching!
What a outstanding location and some cracking fish fairplay really enjoyed this
Thanks for watching! I can't wait to fish there later this year 👍
@adventurefishinguk love to see a video of that mate👍🏻
its not always about the big trophy fish but more about the enjoyment and scenery and just having a good relaxing time in the outdoors you always look like your having fun and relaxing witch is what its all all about great video by the way
I couldn’t agree more mate thanks for watching!
George, the red spots and coloring of those smaller brook trout are always amazing to me. The first one you caught and Martin's were amazing looking fish! Nice looking fish Martin caught!
They’re really cool aren’t they! They’re actually brown trout not brook trout, we don’t get brookies over here unfortunately!
Lovely river right next to a forest..What a nice day out
Thank you, was great fun!

I never knew that, good tip. So for the record would that fish at 5:40 be a salmon or trout?
Excellent river, thought your luck was on for a nice salmon there.. great video as always
Thanks for watching mate! Yeah a salmon would’ve been nice, I’ll take a sea trout though!
Blimey Martin and you finally got together. Wondered when it would happen as he originally go me on the rigged and ready gear...
Yeah it was good to meet him, long overdue!

Yeah trout have to be my favourite species to catch I can’t get enough of them. Salmon have to be the hardest fighting though 👍
Cheers George. Was a very wet but a great day out.
Good to meet you Martin! Yeah was great fun despite the weather
Well done George nice sea trout. Shame about the rain 😊
Thanks mate, a fish well worth getting wet for!
Good stuff 👏. Such beautiful fish you were on
Thanks for watching mate!

I’d love to come fishing over there, especially if there was a chance of a big ferox trout 👍
The dollaghan although predatory are not ferox, they are our own strain of brownies that migrate to lough neagh and then back up the rivers to spawn, they are huge, also our own river gets double figure sea trout
lovely video mate, stunning colours on those trout!
Thanks mate, amazing aren't they! I'll have to take you here next year
That river looks spot on mate 👌 And definitely those crisps are the best 💪 nice video as usually 👊🎣🐟
It's a great spot mate 👍 Thanks for watching!
5:39 i agree definitely looks like a salmon parr 🐟
I thought so 👍
The Im looking into a rigged and ready rod for pike, perch and occasionally carp fishing and im stuck between the predator or infinite max what would you say? Nice sea trout btw

Thanks, keep with the uploads great videos as usual
Another smashing video George, 😊
Thanks mate happy you liked it!
Nice video George! What knot is it to tie braid to swivel that you use mate? And do you just clip the tag end with normal snips - mine are a bit crap at trimming braid
Cheers
Thanks mate! I'm not sure what the knott is called, there are plenty of good tutorials, And no, use braid scissors they're great 👍
Awesome! Love it
Thanks for watching mate!
Great video again George. Most of the rivers round me are fly only. Sometimes you need the spinner to cover the water properly. Lovely seatrout at the end there worth getting drenched all day for 😅.

@AdventureFishingUK I doubt it they have been fly only for years. Some if the water is really high early season would let you spin rest of the time it's fly only.
Like fishing isn’t hard enough🤙🏼
Thanks for watching!
I am surprised a private river would allow spinning for trout. Most are fly fishing only and are sniffy about spinning
They don't actually allow it for the first few months of the season, I think it's the end of June when they do
@@adventurefishinguk Awesome. I am a fly fisherman but there are times when you know spinning is going to be more success. Now the trout season is over, looking for somewhere in Lancashire to try my hand at spinning.
@@ericpownall49 fly fishing is definitely more difficult but there’s a lot of skill in lure fishing for any species
Probably helps that he's using barbless hooks and singles
What exactly is a sea trout if I have it right. Never seen one of those before. Was a nice looking fish
It's a brown trout that has left it's home river to feed out at sea. They lose all their brown colour and turn silver, I suppose it's our version of what you'd call a steelhead 👍
@@adventurefishinguk thanks - it would be a awesome fish to eat as steelhead is a lot like salmon. Our steelhead are big and fat and usually put on a huge fight. They are also very weary so hard to catch. Thanks again.
I think it is a salmon parr because the jaw extends behind the eye. I think trout the jaw does not go back as far
Thanks for the input I think so too 👍
I also think it’s a parr rather than a seatrout. In any case, an amazing catch!

When are you going salmon fishing? Love all your videos need to see you hook a big salmon on the fish rige 180. Come on
I’ve been trying, blanked 3 times in a row unfortunately. That’s salmon fishing! Fingers crossed for a bit more rain
Get yourself up to hoddom beat on the river annan brilliant Brown and sea trout fishing and salmon obv
I’ve heard good things about the Annan, is it all method on there?
Spinning and fly , there's also restrictions with spinning on hoddom 👍
Sea trout are definitely something special 👏🏻 well caught - I enjoyed the video but it only takes seconds to make your own healthy sandwich George 🤨
Thanks for watching! Yeah i definitely need to work on that...
Pringles prawn cocktail > Walkers prawn cocktail.
Those are really nice, my only problem with them is that the flavour could be a little too strong
iv had a weekend on the upper severn , river was so hight and coulled , no fish
Shame you didn’t manage anything mate! Better luck next time
Martin is a fantastic guy bump into him from time to time as we fish a lot of the same spots ….. give his channel a check guys . Ray
He certainly is! Thanks for watching
Camera work needs attention...Not complaining just explaining 😊😊
How could it be better?
Getting a 404 error on that TH-cam link in description pal
Thanks for letting me know i'll get that sorted out
I'll go for a swim, help, save our souls, wink, wink.
Thanks for watching!
If you get the opportunity to fish there again with lures ! Have you fished a fly but usung it with a bubble float ! Its a game changer!
I've used a bubble float a few times, never had any success with it though!
Trout parr.
Are you sure?
@@adventurefishinguk 110% a trout parr the white lines on the fins tell you that as the trout are spawning right now , also no where near enough fork in the tail , jaw going past eye and at that size it wouldn’t be a salmon parr anyway it would be a smolt and would be silver
@@ItsBoxinOrNada very detailed reply and some good points thanks for taking the time to comment
@@adventurefishinguk no problem mate tight lines
Salmon par
I think so too 👍
Size does not matter.
Agreed!
Nobody should be able to own a river IMO.
A nice thought in theory, people who don't respect nature would quickly spoil it though
