    Those were fantastic pools Ian some great takes with those sea trout. I would say that big pull may have been a fish. Really enjoyed the video thanks for the enjoyment. Tight lines for the next one.

      Thanks Paddy. another enjoyable day. Had never fished on the river Brora before and wasn't sure about what was a head. I am glad that I made the effort to go fish on that wee river
      Cheers Iain. 🥃

      I would gladly go back there Mr Mazo . the river was running about 1ft above summer level but the pools have got a bit of depth and think it would hold fish in the summer Cheers Iain. 🥃

    Looks a lovely bit of water to fish. Sorry I had that thing that gets in the way of fishing called work and couldn't meet up with you when you were up. Nice to have some silver on the end of the line even if it wasn't quite the intended quarry.

      @IainSB sounds good to me I'll look forward to it. Can get more of a catch up than at Tulchan. I had a horrible cold when I was there so was trying not to pass it onto people.

    Hi Iain, what a cracking river that is and that wind was doing the rounds but still, you had a lovely sea trout mate , I know it’s not a salmon but I would be happy with that, I heard you say you were using the airflo rage compact line Iain , what do you think of them? I think they’re a game changer in casting with a shorter rod. Brilliant viewing Iain can’t wait for the next one. Cheers. 🍷Steve.

    • @IainSB
      @IainSB  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I have used that line on my 14.9 Shakespeare with a tip Stephen and it even suits that rod..... I believe they have stopped making them and wished that I had bought a spare Cheers Iain 🥃

    Very nice day for fishing it looks. Beautiful river and a distillery in the neighborhood, it doesn’t get much better in my opinion.
    Iain, on our visit we did see a lot of salmon farms in different lochs. Is that a good thing in your opinion or does it hurt the natural salmon run?
    Cheers🥃,
    Marcel

      @IainSB  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      A perfect day for fishing Marcel and in a perfect place (never made it to the distillery). Thank the lord that the east coast aren't suitable for salmon farms as most of the west coast rivers have seen the numbers of fish in the systems destroyed
