Richard that is superb, the aggression of the larger male will be interesting to film. If you can continue to film until spawning takes place you may capture the creation of that elusive Spring salmon strain. A sound track would add to viewing experience!
Hi Primula, I was a guide for eleven years on this river so know it well. I used to try to film in the water myself, then tried a camera on a pole and now have harnessed a HD camera to a rock which I lift and move to near where the fish are. Then view from the bank, sitting very still and quietly. Very hit or miss and have had whole days of nothing. However, it is important I get very good footage for a Bluray film myself and a friend are making on Atlantic salmon. Follow to view private clips.
fantastic clip how do you get so close to fish is the camera under water ?
what river is this and where ?
Hi Richard the precocious males (juvenile males that have not migrated to sea yet) partake in spawning to such an extent that a resulting 30% of progeny from a spawning event can be attributed to these males. This allows for increased genetic diversity. Surprisingly we followed the fate of such a cross (MSW feamle*precocious male) and had an adult male return to the Shannon River at 26lbs after 2 years at sea - one of the biggest ever! You could go Public in your Channel default settings.
It is in the Hebrides of Scotland.
Hi Salmo,
I don't want to be public as the filming is for a documentary I'm making so it'd be daft for it all to be online before release? There are 17 clips online now but I think 6 viewable. If you pm your email address associated with youtube I'll allow you to see the clips. I'm pretty up to date on the genetics (currently reading Erik Verspoor et al's book on genetics The Atlantic Salmon: Genetics, Conservation and Management - cost me £140!!) and am aware of the parr situation. Thanks
This film will be pretty much all about the fish. My previous one went down well but this, in HD and me able to film way more and no time pressure mean I'm capturing everything required. Have some top scientists including Verspoor advising so it should be interesting when done. Anything you'd like to see covered, let me know and I'll do my best to capture it on film if possible, but also just write about it from research. Thanks in advance if you can suggest things.
BTW, have one male in private going ballistic when a non dominant cock nips in to spawn. Hilarious really. He courted hen for an hour, fought many others off, then at the point of spawning gets knocked aside and he bites everything that moves for several minutes. It's in the private vids collection at this point and will be in the film, no doubt.
I'd rather not say where it is as don't want the fish to be disturbed too much. I am very very careful and never set foot on a redd.
I've just realised that the clips are not viewable to subscribers, unless you can let me know how the devil to do that. On options for private ~I chose followers as a category to allow. I have now put up 17 clips in HD and the private are better than the ones in public. If you PM me somehow I have managed to allow people with specific email addresses. Is there an easier way? Very awkward. Tanks re comments too, I won't bother with music just yet, it's only for real enthusiasts to see for now.
