Cheers mate, thanks for watching! 👍

Hey, just had a wee look in LTS rods and they do look very good! I will keep an eye out 😉 Thanks for the suggestion, tight lines!

Haha I’m sure it isn’t but that’s something I also don’t want to be doing every season. I actually used some wood filler and varnish to fix the cork, hopefully it will last. Thanks very much for watching, tight lines!

Brilliant, well done! 27lb is huge! Specially these days. I’m hoping for my first fish from Boleside this season. I have fished there few times last year but no luck.

That’s exactly where my cork is given away. I think filler and some varnish over it should sort it. I will try to do the same

@Hookedonfly I'll let you know how i get on, fingers crossed as i really like the action of the rod. Tight lines for 2025 and congratulations on your engagement.

Thanks very much 👍 Tight lines!

Thanks 🙌

Look like there is a big demand for that rod, non for sale that I can see. Thanks for the suggestion. Tight lines!

@@Hookedonfly yes, they are hard to come by now. As loop stopped producing them when the brought out the 7X. Plus, the people that do have them love them, but you do see them pop up every now & then. If I see any I’ll let you know 👍🏻

That’s fair enough. Cheers but I will realistically get new rod for 2026 seasons and I’m after 14’ #10 To match my reel.

Hi Dennis, thanks. That’s probably a good shout for now 👍 Tight lines

Thanks for watching on both platforms 😉

Fishing much lower down this spring, Ladykirk, Pedwell for February. Although I did managed to get a springer last season at Horseburgh, probably the first one ever there haha

@@Hookedonfly nice one ,what month

Never thought about that one, thanks 👍

Thanks for the suggestion, few ppl mentioned this rod now. I just had a wee look at it and it does looks really good! Tight lines

Hahaha yeah it actually looks huge, went back to look at it 😂

Thanks, will check it out 🙌

Cheers, I will check it out. Sounds definitely interesting 👍

Thanks, I will have a look on that one 👍

Hahaha thanks! Cheers for watching, I’m glad you like the videos. I will have a look at that rod, thanks for the suggestion. Tight lines 👊

Hey Findhorn is definitely one of the places I would love to fish! £45 is also pretty good price, I need to look in to that. Cheers 👍

@ no bother pal

👍

Cheers 🙌

I agree, will need some heavy sink tip on for early season. The fastest I have is 7 inch per second, I’m hoping that and copper tubes will do the business 😉 If not may need to look around for some intermediate/sinking lines for the future. Thanks for the tips 👍 Tight lines!

Hi Billy, I will take you up on that sometime 👍 Would be great to try other brands and see the difference Cheers

@@Hookedonfly Anytime, as i am retired 👍

Well that’s a bargain! £50 for Hardy’s rod is amazing deal. I will be looking at new or second hand rods once the time comes.

@@Hookedonfly i made a typing error .it was 350

Still very good price 👍

Good rods James, however, I’m pretty sure for around the same money a good condition Hardy Zenith could be picked up. I’ve seen them on eBay quite often for £350-£400ish which for a rod that originally cost in the region of £1000 isn’t a bad buy considering they are simply casting machines! Tight lines for 2025! 🎣👍

I need to keep aye on that, that sounds like a great rod to cast. Tight lines! 👊

I don’t have an instagram for fishing unfortunately

Haha yeah that one is huge! Loop classic 👍

What wt ​@@Hookedonfly

Hi Thanks for the subscribe! I used to fish for Brown trout and Grayling at Innerliethen, it’s under Peeblesshire as you mentioned. Very good trout water and no salmon anglers around early in the season. I’ve caught 6lb brown on my first day out there, what a monster! I don’t really fish for trout anymore after catching my first salmon but may have another go in the future. Tight lines! 👊

@@Hookedonfly Thank you for your reply!

No problem 👍

Thanks for watching, I’m glad you like the videos. Not long before the season starts now. Tight lines! 👊

Tell me about it 😂

She is great! I need to make an effort and take her fishing more so she can get used to it. It would be great to have her company on the bank

Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Kailzie definitely have some nice water to offer, I will be back the next year my self. Tight lines

Hi Mark As it says in the title this fish was caught in the middle of October. I definitely agree with what you said though, I wouldn’t personally fish for salmon after first week of November. Let them do their thing.. Tight lines 👊

I have to agree, maybe even the end of October. No real back end run like yesteryear and there were redds being cut in late October this year. The fish need leaving to there business

Thanks very much 👊

Fingers very crossed 🤞 Thanks for watching Nick

Another cracking vid tam that 20lber will b yours next year

Thanks 🙏 Haha hopefully 🤞

It really was, autumn is such a beautiful time of the year to be on a river

Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed the video👍 Yeah, the fish was something else.

Thanks mate 👍

I’m using Rio Autbound elite line

Haha thanks mate 👍

It’s very well done 👍

Rio Outbound elite

I was actually trying to stop the fish going to fast water but yeah you are definitely right, no index finger needed.

@@Hookedonfly lol Sure! You're going to "stop a monster." Nah! The fish stopped you.

It definitely did 😅

😂😂😂

Thanks. Yes, it’s GR 60 indeed. Really like the rod and how you said really powerful and easy caster. I actually needed to warranty it just after 5 months of use as the cork was in pretty bad shape all ready.

@Hookedonfly Ah pity, the cork on both mine has been good. Glad you were able to claim on the warranty.

Maybe I was just unlucky, good rod anyway

Haha I’m glad it’s not just me 😂 I was actually surprised that the Fish dropped off after that hook set 🫣😂

It definitely does! Need get sharpener for new season

Thanks very much 👍 That’s fishing, I will get the next one 👊

Thanks buddy, still gutted about that one but hopefully there will be another one waiting next season. Need to get some fishing organised next season 😉

@ I bet Tam, it looked like an absolute beauty! And definitely mate, what type of winter fishing do you do Tam?

I usually take a break from fishing but I’m pretty keen on having a go for Grayling this winter. What about your self?

@@Hookedonfly I’m the same as you Tam, I want to have a crack at the grayling also, never fished for them before but a pal of mine has quite alot of experience fishing for them so hoping he won’t mind me tagging along with him one day for them! Also would like to try a bit more sea fishing too during the winter

Great, I’m sure you will get few of them. Winter sea fishing sounds good, that’s when the big fish is kicking about right? I need to get sea trout another go next season, still want to get one

Yeah maybe, I didn’t actually thought about that one.
