10lb salmon caught on the fly | Loch Brora | salmon fishing Scotland 2023 🏴

- Another first for 2023. Local angler Ruth had never caught a salmon on a loch before. Prevailing weather conditions were definitely challenging, a strong easterly wind with intermittent hail storms, set the tone for the day. When Ruth set up her rod, nothing seemed untoward. Little did she know that at some point in the distant past, the end of the floating line on her reel, must have passed under another coil, to develop a bind that travelled deep into the backing, lurking silently, waiting to emerge at the most inopportune moment. That moment arose whilst the 10lb sealiced salmon, made a mad dash to get back to the sea. Luckily, I was able to remove the spool from the reel, unwind and untangle the bind, then replace the spool back into the reel, just as the salmon decided to embark upon another significant run, in an easterly direction. After a few more heart stopping moments when the fish seemed to have thrown the hook, Ruth brought the fish safely to the net. An outstanding achievement at the best of times but given the prevailing weather, it was a very worthy reward for her perseverance in the bone chilling conditions. Happy days ;)

Ruth deserves a medal for landing that fish. It was a cracker of a fish especially on a trout rod. Tight lines from an older Salmon angler in AUS.
Many thanks for your kind words Norman, they are very much appreciated. Tight lines from Bonnie Scotland 🎣🎣🎣

This brings back memories. I fished Loch Brora about 40 years ago, I was just dapping for sea trout, never caught anything but it was very enjoyable. That young lady was ecstatic with that lovely salmon, and she played it well. Well done you for netting it and giving her some sound advise.
Thanks once again for your kind words Brian, they are much appreciated. I’m delighted to hear that you’ve fished the loch, it’s a truly ancient and magical place, where dreams can come true.
Thats a excellent video really enjoyed watching that, very calm voice from the ghillie but i can imagine that was quite a tricky situation....superb :) Well done as well Ruth !!
Definitely not a situation I’d choose to experience again! Thank you for your kind words, very much appreciated.

Many thanks for your kind comments, much appreciated. Fantastic fish to land on a 9’6” trout rod 🙏❤️👍🏻
Nothing quite like a salmon on a trout rod, bet she felt every minute of that fight and her heart was pumping. Class ❤🏴
What a beauty! I would love to have a go for salmon on a loch. Maybe one day...?
Many thanks for your kind words, I hope it happens for you.

Many thanks for your kind comments Martin, I couldn’t agree more. Great craic 🙏❤️👍🏻
Great to see a fish well played and a possible disaster averted … …..stunning loch …. Can’t beat the Highlands …. You cover a bit of ground ( and water) ……..great video , one very happy lady …!
Many thanks for your kind comments Alf and I couldn’t agree more about the Scottish Highlands ❤️
Not sure if Ruth was lucky or the fish was unlucky! Either way a good recovery and great result for both👍
Many thanks for your kind words Iain, much appreciated. Everyone who catches a salmon these days is definitely lucky and I suppose the salmon was lucky too, for back in the day, it would definitely have become the centre of attention…. on the dinner table….. not on a UA-cam video, swimming away!
Some quick thinking there cameron saved the day and who said men cant multi task
Couldn’t agree more Sean 😂
Trying to release the bind from the spool with a salmon pulling hard on the line, as it tried to get back to the sea, was definitely not easy. Ruth holding the rod and the camera and me holding the bound up spool….. comedy gold 🎣😂
Was it on the dropper or point fly
Cascade on the point, full floating line.
