Small Flies and Big Fish

- There is one species that likes this sort of weather: the salmon angler.
Why: Because the next day there will be a freshet in the river and big fish might run the system.
So, the day after the deluge Ray Robinson and I are off to the Owenea in County Donegal.

As a young boy i grew up fishing the lakes and rivers of Pettigo in south Donegal , now living in Australia for over 13 years i stumbled across these videos the other day ,and i can tell you im on the verge of moving home !!! these videos are fantastic , great humour and great fishing , what a life ,, hope to be catching a few trout back home in the not too distant future if all goes well ,,
Keep the videos coming , great work and thank you . tale care
Ciaran.
Thank you, Ciaran. All the best, stay safe, and greetings from Donegal.
If "the past is another country", then this one is nearby. It is nice watching these old videos: beautiful landscape and fishing.
Thank you, Graham. That video isn't even that old, but it seems to be from a totally different world. All the best and take care.
Great old boys what a fishing trip lots of action
Those were the days.
Beautiful fish well done
Many many thanks, sir.
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Another great video Dietrich, although I was sorry to see two (now rare) fine Atlantic salmon knocked on the head and taken home for a meal. I fully respect your right to do so but it rankles with me, well done for returning the larger fish. The last salmon I killed ( a few years ago now) I felt guilty when I saw the eggs in it's belly and felt they would be better in the river as in my refuse bin. A meal of wild salmon is not required in my house. Everyone knows nowadays how the salmon population is in drastic decline and perhaps I am wrong but I think honestly we anglers have a duty to return every fish we have the privilege to catch. This is my personal view and I fully respect your right to differ.
Tight lines my friend
Richard Johnson Thank you, Richard. If I'd have to do catch and releasy only, I would give it up. Take care and tight lines, Dietrich.
+Dietrich Bohnhorst well said you should no be made out to be a criminal or feel bad for taken the odd salmon for the table but same man complaining. before if he wanted to eat salmon he would buy salmon that came from fish farms for table after all the damage they have done to salmon stocks well done enjoy your fishing and one for table least in Ireland its no banned and you showed you were good sportman putting the other salmon back .how much does cost to fish were you were please thanks for your time all the best.
+Edith Turbull Thank you for the comment, Edith. The river was the Owenea, Co. Donegal. Day tickets are 35Euro. Take care and tight lines.
@Jonathon Roberts There's no need to be unpleasant. If you return all your fish you are basically just playing games with living creatures. That's not sport, it's just wanton cruelty. Kill the one or two that are in tip-top condition and the size you want, put the rest back. I'm truly sick of all this " So long buddy!" bollocks. You don't stick hooks in your buddies.
Good for you, Dietrich!
@Jonathon Roberts It's an interesting point to argue, and I could continue, but you're being rude and abusive, so I shan't bother. Hope you enjoy your fishing!
Its always the Bibio....LOL,.......Thank You...
That`s right; where would we be without the Bibio?
These guys are funny, they are like a double act! Good job.
+mark kelly Thanks Mark.
Great video and great humour! :)
Thank you, Mark. Have a good time.
Scum
Great fighting fish lads
They surely are, Moe.
They were a beautiful pair.
Thank you, Malcolm.
Great videos, thanks for uploading
Thank you.
what size and weight of rod and line is it you use as heading for dungloe area in July August time
Cracking salmon...you cant beat catching salmon on trout tackle...some of the best sport ive had has been on trout tackle...
Ross The Bearded Scotsman Thank you, Ross. In the past, when there were ample sea trout about, we often had "accidentally" salmon on trout gear, was always very exciting and you were amazed how many of them were safely landed.
Ross The Bearded Scotsman that’s not trout tackle. On a small to medium river all you require is a 10’ for a 7. Anything larger is just ridiculous. You can get them in far faster on the shorter rod too so if you’re a sap and intend to return it, it has a chance of survival.
Ein schönes Video, authentisch und ehrlich kommt es daher. Es geht also auch mal ohne Hightech-modernem Geräte und krassen Dronenaufnahmen. Irgendwie zeitlos. Vielen Dank
Vielen Dank, Andre. Wir versuchen immer, unserem Naturel entsprechend, jegliche "Frippery" wegzulassen. Viele Gruesse aus Irland.
@@DietrichBohnhorst Hallo, oh man viele Grüße zurück. Hab erst gestern wieder von Irland geträumt !
@@andrehoehner2734 Passiert mir andauernd, wenn ich mal fuer ein paar Tage von der Insel weg bin.
Great video Dietrich! I'm really enjoying your videos. I'm very tempted to have a trip over there and have a crack! I'd love to fish for salmon in a small river with a single handed rod. Looks great fun.
Thank you very much. It is great to fish smallish rivers for salmon. Before you come over to Ireland though, please check which rivers are open for fishing, since there are more closures for 2017. Take care and tight lines.
Lovely film Dietrich and two beautiful fish. I'm guessing your single handed rod is c. 11 foot in length to clear the bankside vegetation. The Owenea seems to be characterised by high grass banks with no shingle or wading. Well done!
Thank you, Philip and you absolutely right, regarding river and rod.
Excellent.
Thanks a lot, Mike. Take care.
Most Welcome Dietrich, There is plenty good places for casting in Donegal where you can get big Pollock.
Aye, my favourite one is at St. John's Point.
great fishing
robert andersson Thank you, Robert. Once you hit the right day the Owenea can be exeptionally good. It is after all a spate river.
My God two salmon in one day ...what is the name of this river..that's quite a haul for a days fishing..excellent Herr Bonhurst..wunderbar!..on the Masquerade..?
Thank you, Paul; it's the Owenea, the flies were, of course, Masquerade and Shrimp Fly.
That Owenea seems to be a hot bed for the Salmon. What tackle is required..or is effective to handle the fish...?
It is a C&R only river these days. We use single handers, class 8 or 9; some people use double handers, also class 8 or 9.
How far below the surface do the Salmon take the fly? Do you fish a floating or intermediate line?
We fish floating lines with a short (two foot) sinking tip. The fish take then in various depths; you just have to try.
So sweet! Keep a bucket if you can't get to water to wet hand. This will increase survival.
+Tossdart It's raining most of the time in Ireland, so the hands are wet anyway.
Dietrich Bohnhorst I knew you were going to say that I though after I commented. ☺
+Tossdart Never thought I was that predictable.
Some lovely Fish, Was this your first visit(this year) to the owenea? Still trying to get my first ever salmon, What hooks do you using for your parmer? Nice to see you C&R that biggen! I've never herd of anyone using the parmer for salmon Is it a fly? Hows the owenea fishing since?
Fishing7776 Thank you. That was the second visit to the Owenea. The Soldier Palmer is tied on rather big single salmon hooks, size 4 or 6. There is a clip on how to tie it on my channel.
Thanks, Does it matter about the hook brand? Did you catch anything on you first visit to the owenea? thanks
Fishing7776 As long as the hooks are strong and sturdy; never payed any attention to the brand. Saw one fish on my first attempt at the Owenea, that was all.
Ein ganz tolles video! Took me a while to place your accent, it reminded me of living in Munich :) could you tell me where abouts you two were fishing? Im looking for my first salmon this year and it seems like a good place for the fly
Thank you, really appreciated. That movie was shot a the Owenea River, Co. Donegal.
Danke sehr!
Where are you fishing
A Donegal spate river.
Nice would love to travel and fish Ireland
Ireland surely is worth a visit.
I'll tell ya Im Irish and live in Ireland and the fishing is class. Salmon trout pike perch bream eel all amazing.
Fair play of you . to release that fish
If only it was in the interest of conservation, and not the fact that's it too big to keep for eating
HI sir,where is this place?thanks
That's the Owenea, Co. Donegal.
Dietrich Bohnhorst thank you
ya im coming
+Dietrich Bohnhorst Thank you, Sam. Very much appreciated.
P.S. a month late ehe. Funny guys. We can still get -40.
+Tossdart Fishing is supposed to be fun.
Dietrich Bohnhorst Our lakes don't unthaw until June here. This season maybe earlier May 25 or so.
+Tossdart That is late, and the season must be very short then; late August or early Sptember?
Dietrich Bohnhorst It varies but we almost always have a pumpkin killing frost around August 15. One year we were down south buying musk melons at a fair & talking to vendor. A fellow overheard where we were from oh just went through you guys got 1.5 feet of snow. Yup. However one must be prepared say fishing in the mountain lakes as July has killed a lot of individuals as with any month. Alberta is a land of extremes we can have -80 windchills in winter & 37 C in summer. It took me 20 years to get my first squash here if that helps ☺.
+Tossdart We are really living in a moderate climate over here in Ireland, compared to that. Take care and tight lines.
I never looks to his video, he througt a catched fisch from 3m down to the water and called this a flying fisch. He isnt a fair fishermen. Shame on him
Poor catch and release on that fish you let you, 9 chances out of 10 she will not spawn due to being stressed because u wore then fish completely out why play a fish completely to exhaustion and then release it is beyond me
