Excellent and thoroughly captivating video, drone footage really adds to the story, congratulations on winkling out a nice strong fish! thank you for producing and sharing this.
Beautiful video Paul! You are right the drone footage does make for a great perspective. Totally agree with your concerns regarding the salmon stocks...we note the same thing here on the East coast of Canada. The usual culprits are considered: dams, salmon rearing pens, poorly managed resource with poaching and or predation, North Atlantic water temperatures, open sea netting by-catch by super trawlers, etc. etc. etc. It is gut wrenching to see this magnificent fish on a path to extinction...At least, we as fisherpeople can practice maneuvers to help our catch safely return to the rivers we frequent. we must advocate for the safe release of all the salmon we have the good fortune to encounter while practicing a responsible fishery. Cheers, Mike PS Sorry for the rant...
I think you comment sums up perfectly everything that is wrong with the management of salmon. It is a terrible situation and the powers that have the ability to make the necessary changes and too interested in short term grabs. I try not to be negative but I am extremely worried that extinction is a credible outcome.
Great beat, Steve and his ghillies always look after us..never feel I fished Junction pool very well, river looked lower than last time I fished it, noticed you weren’t wading far out (why do a lot of fishers feel they need to be standing in middle of pool, when reality they’ve probably pushed the fish further away!!) hopefully back there next month. Your right about the stocks, very concerning and too little has been done to late. Tight lines!!
Brilliant, informative and riveting video. Wonderful scenery, lots of wisdom. We may be the last generation to fish for wild salmon. Here in Newfoundland, numbers are dwindling year over year. Thank you,
Thanks so much for your kind comments. Makes the effort worthwhile. It's a very sad state we find ourselves in. I agree if nothing changes, we are the last to enjoy these wonderful creatures.

Lovely pool. Such a shame to see what’s happening around us.
It's a terrible situation - needle in a haystack. It'll probably be all over in a few years......

Hey Paul, fantastic video once again!! Have sent you an email - Chris
Got it and replied! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it. Tight lines!
Superb video. Looks a fantastic pool to fish. I must try and fish the Spey some more I'm still searching for my first Spey salmon.
You should! Definitely my favorite river. Salmon and becoming so hard to find but the harder it gets the more we want one :) Tight Lines!
Brilliant video, stay at ballindalloch when fishing further upstream but never fished there
Definitely give it a try if you can get on. The A'an is also worth a go.
