This channel tells the story of some days wild fishing in the Outer Hebrides, islands about 40 miles into the Atlantic West of Scotland. I fish for salmon, sea trout, and brown trout in some of the wildest fishing remaining in Europe. My main interest is in the wild brown trout which have been in the lochs since the end of the last ice age but I'm also very lucky to get some salmon and sea trout fishing as well. For me fishing is about a day out - walking to interesting places and enjoying them - and not just about shouting and screaming and catching "big fish" so if you want a lot of shouting you'll need to go somewhere else. As one viewer commented "Lovely venue staggeringly dull presenter - very boring not a vestige of spark." These videos are about fishing in the wild places, prehistoric standing stones, wonderful moorland, interesting sights and the best wild flyfishing in the world, not about the presenter.

Rounding out my Spring salmon season
Переглядів 2,5 тис.3 місяці тому
Usually I'd maybe fish 1 day in two or three years for a spring salmon but because the weather was so cold with a northerly wind most of the time I went out for a salmon on four occasions this spring and this is the final day. I was lucky that the water was still at a decent level and the tides were good for letting a spring fish slip into the system so it would have been a shame not to at leas...
Finding a Hebridean Spring salmon
Переглядів 8 тис.3 місяці тому
I go to great pains to highlight that the Hebrides doesn't get a run of spring salmon and so no one fishes for them. I really enjoy a day out after a springer and this year, because trout fishing was pointless in the cold northernly wind, I managed a few days of springer chasing. It is very relaxed fishing because there aren't any fish in the river, so there's no pressure, until you hook and lo...
First day of the 2024 trout
Переглядів 2,4 тис.3 місяці тому
This spring has been cold with the wind in the north all the time and so there hasn't been much incentive to go trout fishing. However, at some point you fancy a day out no matter how adverse the conditions and so I put together my trout gear and headed for a remote loch in the Hebrides for a day out and a cast for a trout.
The Hebridean Spring salmon saga continues
Переглядів 3 тис.4 місяці тому
So far it has been too cold for trout fishing and so I've spent some time chasing the mythical Hebridean Spring salmon a creature of legend and angler's stories over the centuries. This was an entirely new fishing spot for me and as a result I didn't have much clue as to where to cast, or what to do, none the less I gave it a good shot to see if I could bring the mythical creature to the net.
Spring salmon fishing in the Hebrides

Out chasing a Hebridean salmon on a glorious spring day with excellent water and great tea. Unfortunately my GoPros are dying in various ways so the sound quality is variable but that's the way it is. The river was in excellent order with plenty of water and it is the most amazing river to fish with a "fishy" looking spot at nearly every step. It is, of course, the best fishing in the world and...
Exploring a new salmon river.

Despite fishing on Lewis for about 30 years there are still lots of places that I haven't had the chance to visit and this is a salmon river that is new to me. I set out to explore and see what it looked like and to investigate likely spots for catching a salmon.
Chasing a salmon or sea trout on the Gress Moor Pools
Переглядів 11 тис.8 місяців тому
The River Gress is well known for its sea trout and, to a lesser degree, its salmon and it has been two years since I fished this bit of the river so with that in mind I went down after some rain for a look. Jem Dog was also due to arrive around 5 in the evening so along with the fishing I was keeping a good look out. The fish were certainly in the pools, I even saw some of them, but it proved ...
More Creed Salmon action

It didn't look too promising with a rising river and heavy showers stopping things from settling but in the end I managed to snatch a lucky salmon from the tricky conditions. A day of fantastic autumn salmon fishing on the Stornoway Angling Association River Creed.
Salmon action on the River Creed
Переглядів 8 тис.8 місяців тому
My first day out for salmon in the 2023 season and it was action all the way with the fish taking really gently and my having real problems hooking them, and getting them to stay hooked. The River Creed is really great association fishing for salmon and when the water is right there is a real chance of plenty of action and you might manage a better take to fish landed ratio than I did on the da...
Dangerous signs you must avoid when trout fishing.
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
The angler may be exposed to great danger when chasing the moorland brown trout and on my little jaunt today I discovered that someone had kindly erected a sign warning me that holding my head under the water could be fatal. It seems important to pass this information on to others as the internet is a place of drama and exaggerated claims and this seemed like a good time for me to join in. In t...
How real wild fishing should be.
Переглядів 4,5 тис.Рік тому
There is very little real wild fishing these days but the lochs in this video are rarely visited and hold little wild brown trout that have been there since the end of the last ice age. This is the best fishing available and regardless of the size of the fish or the amount of shouting required when you hook something nothing compares to a day wandering the moor after real wild fish that require...
