- Great footage of myself catching a fish of around 15lb on the fly in a small spate river in the west coast of Ireland. The pool in question give me another salmon of around 8lb 2 weeks previous so i had an inkling and decided to give the GoPro a try out. **warning, there is some swearing midway through**!
This experience is something I can't wait to have myself. Well done, what a fish
Thanks
Way to apply a lot of presure, that's a great 10 or 12 pound salmon!! congradulation s my friend 👍🇮🇪🇺🇸.cheers from Northern indiana usa
Well done , enjoyed your video. I’ve fished this river and it’s very hard to get it dead right as the water runs off very quick and Glenamoy is one of the last places on earth that God created...it quite out of the way, but beautiful. I’ve only got grilse and seatrout in it, never anything like the salmon you got there. The midges can eat you alive up there if you pick the wrong day!! I know that particular section too and it can be difficult to cross the river when it has a good bit of water like it had on your visit. I was told that there is a considerable amount of poaching still occurring up there too which is a shame. Thanks for posting the video, well done.
Nice casting technique!
Great water
15 pounds easily in excess...fresh run too. Fought well...👍
amazed you let fish take you down to backing 3 or 4 times by not moving down the bank earlier to get square and put real pressure on fish - not current! Superb fish, fantastic battle and - what a lot of 'benweed' for a county full of cattle and horses!
It’s a really small river with biggish water on that day. If the fish felt side pressure he would have split down a few pool and I couldn’t follow.
Wonderful video, beautiful fish. Well done that man
Nicely done H. Lovely fish and nice looking bit of water.
Cheers Kevin
@@Fishingtackle2uCoUk what section of the glenamoy was you this?
@@mayfly36 Scanlon's Wall, the cemetary is about a hundred yards up the slope there from the right bank.
It would be nice if you could give the pattern and size of fly you use. Nice video though, well done!!
It was a Cascade size 12
@@Fishingtackle2uCoUk Thank you! Keep up the good work!!
It's a river I'm going to hit soon. drove along it a couple of times looks the ideal spot .
It's a hard river at times for salmon but if you get that 4 hour window you could rise 3-4 fish and they are a great shape.
@@mckeesanglingcentre it will take a Westmeath man to show yis how it's done down them parts 😉🤣😂
Many a nice springer I have had in the wonderful west of Ireland including a terrific 14lb fish last year. Got eight on my first day out this year after the lockdown restrictions ended and another one on the last weekend of the season. My hat mounted GoPro has got plenty of memories over the years.
15 is very ambitious pal, prob 10 at the most, enjoyable vid all the same.
No chum I know my fish and the length worked out at nearly 14lb😉. Yes plenty of fun with that one.
Yeah, about 10 lb
Hi. Just want to ask u. What line did u use? And what granes for that size rod?
Thanks
Lovely fish, well done!
Fought like a fucking shark 🦈 pure beast well done 👍🏻 I’ve just started fly fishing and I’m dreaming of landing a salmon one day next year , ive got a lot of learning to do but this would be a dream for me

what's the name of the river ??
What is the name and location of the spate river..??..love to try it..
It was the Glenamoy in the West of Ireland, you need to be there nearly on the day or the water goes very quickly.
Bingo
8-10 lbs max.
Lolol
@@Fishingtackle2uCoUk what length is your net?
what kind of rod is that?
Looks like a Vision Switch
Sorry Marty just saw these comments, yes it is a Vision Switch #6
Unhook it in the net..
Would you not cover a lot more fish if you casted up stream and let the fly flow down. Amazing fish and great fight you obviously know you’re stuff so don’t think I’m telling you how to fish.
You don’t dry fly fish for salmon in Ireland. It doesn’t work.
@@Dougtroutfisher.4046 well they don’t appear to work over here! Plenty have tried but without much success.
