Thanks Iain and tight lines.

really enjoyed your video, I realize I don't have my set up right now! I have a 13 and half foot, 9# spey rod. Could you write exactly which products I should buy? Also, how much (length) of the backing should I load on the reel? I look forward to hearing from you, Paul

Backing can be 30metres of flyline backing but to be sure I put about 50metres of 15lb cheap mono on before the backing just as a bit of extra security in case of a big fish. Rio scandi and Barrio salmon fly line are good lines well suited for your rod..easy to cast and both will carry 10 and 15ft polyleaders.

But technical for the absolutely beginner was wondering have you any resources for the novices

Sorry not at the moment but I have a blog at www.salmonfishingireland2012.blogspot.com and there might be some info there that can help you.

Great video. Do you have a similar video for using shrimp with a float. Thanks in advance.

Hi, sorry but I don't shrimp for salmon so I don't have a video of the shrimping set up.

MrKingfisher3 ok thanks 🙏 can you give me advice on how to choose a decent part of the river that might have a run of salmon.

Where are you fishing .If it's the Lee mid year the Kingsley weir is good for travelling fresh fish on tide but the Dam can still be okay when there is some water on.

MrKingfisher3 I’m fishing the river Boyne in co Louth from the mouth all the way back to slane.

Hi sadly i never got up that way to do some salmon fishing so my knowledge of the area is zero but when in doubt always try your local inland fisheries office or even better the local tackle shop as they will have the information on most of the fishing in that area.

Tank you

Will i use this setup on small narrow rivers?

Probably better to use a switch fly rod set up, I have a video for that as well on my channel. I only use my big 9wt 13.9ft scandi rod for early season big water but after April change over to my 10ft 7wt switch as it can cover everything else..

What cheap rod and reel would you recommend for river fishing for chinook salmon?

@MrKingfisher3

How big do chinook salmon go as we have atlantic salmon with maybe the odd fish going over 20lbs or 10 kilos our average is about 8 to 12 lbs. That's why the 10 to 50gr rod is strong enough for them, if chinook go bigger then you'll have to get a stronger rod. If you're going to take fishing seriously it's probably worth investing in a good rod and reel.

Shimano, Hardy, Abu, Mitchell, Loomis. I have tackle from all these manufacturers and no issues plus they all have budget priced tackle as well so they're worth a look.
