Thats a really nice reel - looks like it would last a lifetime and very smart too. I was fishing the same river last weekend and saw lots of fish (probably around 50). They were all lower down the river. Wonder if they are heading up the Isla or Tummel and that's why you weren't seeing them.
Ye were very unlucky lad....my heart was in my throat there when ye hooked that fish.....that's salmon fishing lad....there worse than women at times🤣 great video lad a really enjoyable watch👍
Nice watch, Robert! I hardly ever bother salmon fishing these days, and if I do it's on club water that I've already paid for! Hated blanking even in the good old days! But you gave it a shot! Well done! I think I'd be on a trout ticket where I could admire the river and have a stronger prospect of sport! Take care, Dave👍👍
Hi mate, thinking of booking a day here on Saturday, debating on here or maybe a day on East Haugh, always fancied the look of the upper Tay. Recon it will be worth a go?
@@mlfishing842 hello mate. Yeah I don’t see why not. Apparently it’s not heavily fished so fishing pressure should be light. It’s a great wee beat, especially if you get the place to yourself. Tricky wading mind you so extra care required. 👍
@@robertdoesfishing Yeah I see that, on fish pal there isn’t many bookings at all so the catch returns on there isn’t really anything to go by. I would imagine this time of year and the decent runs everywhere will hold fish and it’s just your luck. The beat looks lovely and it doesn’t look like anyone is booked on according to fish pal so would be an ideal day I recon if the weather holds up and the river is dropping nicely. How do all the pools fish with the fly?
@@mlfishing842 yeah exactly there will be fish there I’m sure of it. Pools fish well with the fly except the very bottom one the Split Oak pool. Depending on height of course it’s more slower canal like water but if you get a cast out with a Sunray shadow or something like that and keep the fly moving with a retrieve then you’ll be grand. You can spin on that beat too if you wanted to spin that pool. Don’t know if you’ve seen this but here’s a good doc from PDAA that gives some great info on both the Findynate beats. pdaa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/FINDYNATE-AND-CLOICHFOLDICH.pdf
@@robertdoesfishing Thanks mate, I was just finished reading that there. That’s no to bad then if that’s the only pool that can be a pain with the flow, as you say will make the fishing that little more challenging. Think I will definitely get booked there for Saturday, the height at pitnacree is 0.89 on the gauge so should hopefully be a nice height for the fly. Thanks for you information buddy! Tight lines for you next adventure
@@mlfishing842 no worries hopefully conditions are just right for you and I hope you enjoy it. I thought it was a great wee peaceful beat. Mind you might get some rafters coming down the water too. Tight lines! 🎣🤘
Loved the video mate , serenity is the word looked lovely .
@@jameswelch100 cheers James glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 🤘🎣👍
Great video. Up at Dunkeld tommo so fingers crossed. 🙏🎣
Thanks very much for watching, how did you get on at Dunkeld?
Got a PB round about 25lb but my weigh net broke,coloured fish but still a cracker. Decent pic of it on the DunkeldSalmon faxebook page buddy. 👍🎣

Nice Video Robert, many years since I fished that beat, you've just reminded me what a nice bit of water it is, maybe one for next spring,
Thanks very much for watching, glad you enjoyed the vlog. Hope you manage to get a cast on Deeside soon 😊👍🎣
@@cheshireflyfishing511 Tayside rather 😜
Great video and lovely looking beat, unlucky as it just looked so very fishy, thanks for sharing
It was a lovely beat to fish and I have no doubt I’ll be back at some point. Thanks very much for watching 😊👍🎣
Good effort mate, better luck next time 👍
Thanks for watching pal, something will stick eventually 😂👍🎣

Great vid Robert. I was on pitnacree on Saturday only trout. Saw no salmon sadly.
