Prefer to return them so some other angler might get the thrill of catching them, a wise man one said "a trout is too valuable to be caught only once".
Great to see the streamer fishing George and fantastic sized trout. Last year I started focusing at just fishing streamers on the Nore especially during salmon-like conditions (dropping flood). Definitely catch less fish throughout the day but the takes are addicting and they are great craic to tie as well. Would love to see you do more streamer fly tying videos in the future if you get the time!
Wow!...these are serious wild brown trout, amazing to know such fish reside and thrive in your river...really well done for catching/landing these fellas from all your years of experience George ...and for respectfully handling/returning them safely. As a positive / thanks to recent weather conditions, perhaps you wouldn't have traditionally attracted these larger / quality fish without showing them a streamer mouthful...hoping you have a great season over the coming months with your nymphs and dries....great video and a real red letter day👍👍
I have been fishing a two fly rig for most of the last 50 years as my go to system! Hardly ever fish dry asI find little need! A streamer on the point with a wet, usually a size 12 Picket Pin, on a dropper, 2 feet, more or less, on a short, stiff tag. SometimesI hook 2 trout on one flick but only land both maybe 50% of the time! If you fish streamers, I suggest you give it a try! Tight lines! Nice trout you caught here!
Fine trout George, nice to see theres some good trout in the rivers,many years ago i hooked a 4 pound trout on a tiny grey duster near dark in a small stream,all hell broke loose but i landed it.rivers were hit badly round here with drainage leaving very little water to fish in the summer time
Congrats George. Stunning fish. Great to see a big Pike showing too. You lnow the river is in good health when theres two species of apex predators thriving.
Thank you and congratulations for showing such a good day of fishing. Honestly, I think it would be very beneficial for you to use Spanish-style nymphing techniques. For my part, I would be happy to show you the basic principles of this technique.
Super sport George! Like you im a streamer novice, i always feel its a less elegant form of fly fishing but very exciting! Superb method when the rivers are "too strong" ive found it controversial with my own utube followers 😂 What weight would you put that big boy at??👍
What great trout, the first streamer, was that your angry bird, second catch would that have been a mary banger, I haven’t used streamers myself but I am going to give it a go, ordered a few off your mate to see how I get on then will tie up a few myself. Great video as always.
Love a bit of streamer fishing My tackle supplier sells me really heavy flies though. Yours seemed quite light and you cast it easy. May I ask what you had on?
For me thats an Irish river native brown trout of a lifetime. You never forget. Well done George.
Thanks a million..
Great video Lordy Grangemouth Scotland 🐟🎣🇮🇪🏴
Thanks a million..
Some lovely water you you have there, with beautiful trout, recommend you buy a bigger net though you never know your luck.
Very true!
Should be packing freezer George there some lovely trout for the plate. But that last one don’t think I could do it either what wonderful fish.

The Angry Bird and a version of the Mary Banger, well spotted.
Some great fish, well done. Just got myself some streamers but haven't wet them yet. What line and leader setup do you use.
Sink tip line and five feet of 12lb mono.
Great stuff
Cheers Martin.
Savage trout George 🎣
Cheers pal.
Well done cracking Trout and really enjoyed th e video :)
Thanks 👍
Love a bit of streamer fishing
My tackle supplier sells me really heavy flies though. Yours seemed quite light and you cast it easy. May I ask what you had on?
My own tying, Angry Bird, my last vid features this tying, check it out.
Two beauties
For sure..
Great stuff George - what weight rod do you use streamer fishing ? Are they heavy weighted the streamers ?
I'm using a 10' 6weight rod, some streamers are weighted and some aren't.
Excellent, loved it.
Many thanks!
What river I'd love to know
Specimen, well done 🎉
Thanks Lukasz.
unbelieveable fish George what weight do you reckon he was
At a guess around 6 pounds..
Great video.
Was it necessary to force him into the the net like that and then one handed lifting in his centre ?
Yes and yes
Some trout, you won't forgot that in a hurry 👏How are you getting on with the j vice?
Great piece of kit, highly recommended.
nice one
Thanks for the visit
What river are you fishing
I have membership of quite a few clubs and fish many rivers..
Looks like a river run lake Trout?
This river is not connected to any lake..
can i ask the name of the River
You can..
thanks
Maith an fear !
Three great fish you hooked into.
Yes, thanks
Jesus Christ be praised!
Allahu akbar..
What streamers were you using and will you be doing a couple of tying vids on them.
I will indeed, stay tuned.
@@springerspanielfulI’ll look forward to seeing them! That’s what I was going to ask! You’re going to need a bigger net! 😂 🎣 🐋
Another superb video George. That was one he'll of a fish.I'd like to know your tackle set up if you have the time to reply.
Andy in Scotland.
Thanks.
Absolutely Andy, I'm using a 10' 6weight rod with reel to match, a sink tip line, 5' of 12lb mono and my Angry Bird streamer..
Thank you so much George for taking the time to reply. Best wishes for the rest of the season 🙏
