I have affiliate links in the video’s description box of all the tackle used for anyone looking to order some new tackle, the links will take you directly to the items used. ☺️👍
I’ve just discovered your channel, and I’m really pleased to have done so. The two biggest surprises are the relative shallowness of the water in which you are taking the fish, and the speed of the retrieve. As someone who has only ever fly fished, I would have thought that such a fast retrieve would scare the fish, but clearly that’s not the case! Anyway, I am now subscribed, and spinning tackle as per your recommendations is on order. I suspect that it’s not quite as easy as you make it look, but I can’t wait to give it a bash. Have you made any videos about fishing the lake from the shore, or are they all focussed on fishing from the boat? Great videos - keep up the good work!
I use a tiny swivel between my braid and leader when using spinners, there’s no need for a clip when using a spinner, they actually spin better without any extra weight on the line
Im living near the lee, a couple of miles west of cork. Was fishing for the last 5 days. Used worms, maggots, on the ground, halfway with a float?, mepp spinners etc.....not a single bite. And no, im not a beginner, fishing for almost 50 years, mainly coarse fishing
for trout fishing in a lake do you think meps are good ? i have old #2 meps from my grand father.. also is it possible to use a worm on it ? Or should i use only the spinner
I bought myself a spinner similar to the one used here. Im gonna use it tomorrow at a lake that has trout considering im a bass fishermen, I dont get the opportunity to catch em often. Glad the lure works!
Spinners don’t work as well on lakes / slow flowing water , you will catch more trout on lakes with small jerkbaits , look up duo spearhead ryuki 60/70/80mm in Wildhunter.ie
@@senanstanleyfishing Ah ok. The lake is relatively small. Idk if that'll make a difference, because its too big to be a pond, but really small for a lake. Glad for the info, I might have to get some jerkbaits of different sizes considering trout and Muskie at times. Thanks for lettin me know !
The small tributary’s are great for trout fishing aren’t they did you ever use any size zeros i find the gold and red spot in the zero works really good aswell on the small rivers Well done on the catch 👍
what’s the crack lad. cmere to me would a size 3 spinner work there for catching big trout. i’m only starting out and i’m using a size 1 mepps silver with blue dots. and i’m only catching small trout about 15cms long i want to be catching bigger trout. haven’t tested anything other than size 1. fishing in camcor river
Hey man, you will still catch big trout with the size 1 spinner, bigger fish won’t mind what size the lure is big or small. If it’s a shallow stretch use the smaller spinner, if it’s deeper try the heavier lure. But the trout will happily take a small lure high in the water. Once it comes across them, and they are feeding, it’s game on 👍
Iv had a salmon on a size one silver with red dots , and a 29/30lb pike in a size 2 black n yellow but saying that my biggest trout 3.4lb was on a copper size 3 but I think if you put it by them and their hungry/angry they’ll take anything. Iv had 6” trout take 4” lures as most take out of aggression in my opinion
Is the tolka in mulhuddart vilagge dublin blanchardstown good bcme and me mate are goi g there toay jstwantto know if is good bc we have a permit and all
This rod would handle any trout once you can get down close to the water to net the fish man ☺️ wouldn’t try to lift a fish out with it, it’s super light 💪 they do heavier versions than this one
Hi I fish all over Ireland, never name exact locations of rivers and streams on my channels though. ☺️👍 there’s rivers with trout all over Galway where you are, you couldn’t be in a better place 👍
Would work great too, I prefer the comets for the shallow streams less than 0.5meters 💪 I’d use the aglia for weedbeds on the lake for pike and perch personally 😁 all the Mepps work great tho, they would work for everything 👌
How's it going senan , new subber here and an amateur fisher , literally just started . I have a question.. I have a carp rod about 12 fr , 10lb line on it , am I wasting my time fishing for trout ? Would I get away with putting a spinner or lure on it and having a go the way you are here ?? Kind regards from Dublin
Hey, so of course you could spin away with the rod, the only issue is you won’t get much feeling or fun out of lure fishing with the long carp rod on a small river. The shorter ultralight rods are built so that you can cast in under trees accurately, you can work the lures in a way that a long soft rod wouldn’t allow, you will still catch fish with the rod you have don’t get me wrong, but if you want to maximise your catch rate and get the best results, I’d say swap for a set up similar to what I’ve been using ☺️👍 The heaviest mono like I’d suggest for these wild brown trout on a river would be maximum 6lb, and braided line maximum 0.10-0.12mm diameter or 8-12lb strength braid. ☺️ There’s no right or wrongs though, but I always like to maximise results on the water 💪
@@senanstanleyfishing if it was a lake or river no problem, I was fishing amongst kelp and rocks so I had to apply extra pressure to bully her out, she leaped and jumped ran towards me and diving deep. Worth breaking the rod for I was chancing my arm being undergunned , a random stop on the way home 😂👍
Sorry man, unfortunately I can’t name rivers or small locations on the channel. You know the craic, poachers, people ruining it for everyone else. I couldn’t name them.
Thank you! So most rivers in Ireland are club owned and require permits and licenses, your best bet is to call into your closest tackle shop, they will have the permits for sale for the surrounding rivers 👍☺️
@senanstanleyfishing what's fly fishing got to do with it ?? Just bought a spinning outfit to give it a go and was just wondering if you de-barb the spinner.
SUPERB session with some truly awesome brownies, of course I sub'd!! What leader to braid knot do you rely on? Recent sesh for the bass on the Fal, Falmouth, I tried an FG for the first time, think my leader was too short, 3 or 4 foot, and after a few casts, my patchinko lure, along with my leader went bye bye! £27 lure!!! Not best impressed, (PLEASE don't tell my wife!!!). It was my first attempt at an FG, and I'm defo still learning.
Thank you! For the small river fishing for the trout you can use a tiny swivel to separate your leader, I only use about 1.5 feet of fleurocarbon leader, you really don’t need any more than that when using lures for the trout in shallow water. Braid to swivel is a palomar knot, really easy to do !
@senanstanleyfishing did they have much luck? Finding it awful difficult, can't catch on anything other than worms (1/2, every other day). The odd one on the fly. The young lad is losing interest, he loves spinning.
@totalspud8553 if it’s slow flowing water stick to the wobbler/twitchbaits, the trout won’t go for spinners in slow flowing water. 👍 spinners come into their own in fast flowing stretches with lots of rocks on the bottom, if you stay on the move with the lures you will catch much more than using worms. 😁👍 it can be tough for everyone at times, keep at it ☺️💪
@senanstanleyfishing cheers. I've tried a good few rapalas with not much luck either. You'll have to do a video there, see how you get on bud. I'll cook up the catch and have beer ready for you.
Some people think it’s okay to ask for these small hidden locations… those people and me aren’t the same type of anglers, we wouldn’t be friends in real life. 😂
This video has done really well thanks everyone for taking the time to watch! 👏☺️
That looked too easy.. how was there so many fish so fast..
why do we give slab trout here dollaghan lol

Thank you, I try my best, it’s very important ☺️
Great to see the fish is great condition. Thanks for sharing, and well done.
Thank you, they were feeding really well, big belly’s 👌
That's some amount of fish caught,fair play Senan.
Thanks dude
Hard to go home when the fish are biting. Nice going!

Amazing video! looks like a nice creek to fish. Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching! Loads of trout, no big ones but that doesn’t really matter 😁🎣
Do you put anything between the leader and spinner like a snap or clip?
Top angling lads as always
Thanks dude 😁
Well senan class video👌,
Do you use a swivel or do you have a link to get the clip you attach the spinner to your leader
I use a tiny swivel between my braid and leader when using spinners, there’s no need for a clip when using a spinner, they actually spin better without any extra weight on the line

is it better to cast upstream and reel down with the current ? ,or downstream and reel against the current ?
SO many trout!
There was lots of activity 👌🎣

Class video bud... im in ireland aswell gonna try my river beside me tmoro.
Good! Enjoy it 👌
Iam just starting trout fishing and was wondering what size mepps I will need to put any size on the bank
The small tributary’s are great for trout fishing aren’t they did you ever use any size zeros i find the gold and red spot in the zero works really good aswell on the small rivers Well done on the catch 👍
Ya they all work great anything from size 00,0,1,2 , these little trout are not fussy at all 👏
Mepps spinners are one of the most effective spinners for trout.
Oh they are brilliant!
Nice fishies! Your stream looks very similar to streams we have up north in my state of Wisconsin! But don't tell anybody, lol. Happy 2025 to you!
You’re lucky to have streams like this near you in America ☺️ I don’t tell anyone where I fish here in Ireland ☺️ happy new year!
Best place for pike fishing uk and also what set up light to carry whilst camping getting back into it love the videos
Hi, I’m based in Ireland so I can’t really help you with Uk locations.🙏
Wonderful looking stream, looks like New Zealand except the trout being a completely different size.
For sure 🤝 I mainly find the larger trout out on the lake, only small ones like this in this river unfortunately

Where you fishing at i spin up in Tyrone and can never get anything
Just wild rivers and streams dude, keep at it you will find some areas that hold fish. 👍
u do any guiding? always on my own wouldnt mind a day with someone that fishes exact same way
Would a rod be any good for deeper areas on the river dodder?
This rod would handle any trout once you can get down close to the water to net the fish man ☺️ wouldn’t try to lift a fish out with it, it’s super light 💪 they do heavier versions than this one
@@senanstanleyfishing reckon it’d be worth going up a weight if I’m going off a river bank with a small ish drop
@gavinokelly8054 probably for sure, you need a bit of backbone on the rod for that sort of venue
Hi I was wondering where do you fish in Ireland I’m from Galway myself and looking to find a good spot to go to for summer 👍

Try the Aglia long Mepps, would prefer them to the comet

@@senanstanleyfishingthis 👌🏻
Hey buddy, love these videos you post! Can you tell me the waders you use please as the link in the bio has 404 error 👌👍
Sorry about that, they are Kinetic chest waiders, very affordable I think around €50. Cheap but they work just fine ☺️
@@senanstanleyfishing great, I will check those out thanks very much for replying, awesome videos! Your rivers are well stocked! 👍🤙
Brilliant video mate. I use Mepps. What colour blade do you find works better, and what size did you use on this session?
Thanks Andrew, I don’t think the colour matters at all, once you have a gold or silver with you, that’s plenty👍 size 1 suits the shallow water
What colour lure is best for brown trout?
Silver or gold, really doesn’t matter too much to be honest. Sometimes a jet black spinner works on sunny days.
lovely river there for trout, well done. i use spinners but if i reel slowly will that help catch more? amazing work senan!
Thank you! No you will catch more the faster you reel in my opinion 👍
@@senanstanleyfishingthanks 👍👍
@@senanstanleyfishing thanks for that advice senan. i’ve been catching a good few now, some even on the first cast! thank you.
Do you flatten the barbs on your spinners aswel?
I do ya do u
Well done you make it look so easy 😂😂😂 top man
Thank you, but they are tricky sometimes 😂👍
very nice river and fishes, well done
Thank you !
Would you still recommend this rod?
It’s a super rod! I’m using new brands now, this was just from my savage gear phase haha, fine rod, better rods out there.
@senanstanleyfishing ok thanks, I was thinking about buying a new rod for the new year so I may get this one
How come you wet your fingers before picking them up? I’m new to the fishing game😅
Protects the fishes slime coat, they need this to repel infection
What rod
Loved the video thanks
Thank you!
Great vid! 👍 have you ever fished Lough Ennell before?
Never been up there dude!
Caught a seatrout in Clare using a savage gear ultralight rod, fish was around 3lbs snapped the rod , i think I have a clip of the fish on my channel
Should never have snapped, I’ve landed large pike on this ultralight rod, must have been a factory batch issue
@@senanstanleyfishing if it was a lake or river no problem, I was fishing amongst kelp and rocks so I had to apply extra pressure to bully her out, she leaped and jumped ran towards me and diving deep.

may i know what gram is that lure?
The one in this video is 3 grams I believe
Any chance of naming the streams and rivers .permit info required. Most streams I fish on fly only ,spinning is banned,what a pity.
Sorry man, unfortunately I can’t name rivers or small locations on the channel. You know the craic, poachers, people ruining it for everyone else. I couldn’t name them.
thats a pity. Most anglers are not poachers.Would i be right in saying that these rives are private or restricted entry.
You are doing well with the fishing lad good job con from Athlon
Thanks con !
Hi senan, that's unreal fishing. Would permits or a licence be needed to be fishing like so or can anyone just show up and start spinning ?
Thank you! So most rivers in Ireland are club owned and require permits and licenses, your best bet is to call into your closest tackle shop, they will have the permits for sale for the surrounding rivers 👍☺️

Sorry man, I dont/cant name locations on my channel especially these smaller rivers. 🤝 . 👍

No locations named on my channel
awesome
I fish at a manmade massive pond
there a giant rainbow trout there one jumped and its head was as big as mine!
*but i keep getting skunked*
What’s the location of this place mate ?
We never name small river locations, protecting them is very important 👍
I dunno how you do it 😭 savage fishin!!

Secret river ☝️
Never name locations ☺️👍
Absolutely 💪

Nice!
Can u come to Norway and try to get 20 i Will give u all my Gear if you catch them all i can’t catch shit and tried every trick in the book
