Loved watching this guy Andy back in the day along with paul young another great angler .... My God how time flys by. Tight /line's to all angler's for 2024... 🐟........... 🎣 👍

........ and this is why worm fishing for salmon is banned outright on many waters: the salmon swallow the hook very deep and are often damaged, removing it. It is a highly effective and indeed very skilled technique, but nine times out of ten, you find yourself playing the fish by its guts.

I catch all my salmon seatrout and brownies on this method and I always work the ball weight up stream and that always works better!

Great video, lovely scenery.

Nice video, not enough worming videos available, thank you

I always find that injured salmon are always good takers.

Andy Nicholson I believe he did a few videos in the 80's /early 90's on worming and shrimping for salmon in northern English rivers

I believe the fisher is Andy Nicholson

Fantastic stuff

Damaged fish take easier , also this fish might died anyway with that injury before spawning

Nicely done🥃

Hi Simon. Do you have any more on this series featuring this angler? A long time ago, I remember having quite a long video of him and his side kick fishing through Ireland using many different methods.

Great video, for those that still have a lot to learn about not just catching fish in this case salmon but how to unhook salmon if hook is swallowed. Debarb barb on hook gape, i use allcock single hooks, the barbs up the shank will stop your worms from sliding off. Now to those who do know how to unhook deeply hooked salmon, easy buy a pair of 8 inch forceps. Cutting the line is cruel and not needed, if hook comes loose (think about it). Unhook time with 8 inch forceps takes less than a few seconds to do. Remember no flies in the sea, (think about it), last food items a salmon has seen is sandeels, fish, shrimps, praws etc etc. I have changed all my spinners from treble hook to a single strong hook even on my mepp spinners, tried and tested, all fish landed and returned. If in the rules it is up to the angler if he takes a fish home or not. Remember to the purists that to make a fly an animal or bird has to be killed or slaughtered to tie your fly, me i use all methods in our club strict rules, and yes salmon do feed, honestly. Taught by old school anglers, thanks guys. Well done Simon, nicely done.

Brilliant vid, anything on upstream worm for salmon?

A man after my own heart nothing like worming for salmon.

What model of reel is that? Looks nice

Trying to figure out what river, the Spey?

Clay worms are best for salmon brambles are best for sea trout first light in morning but they do if there are no chocolate heads or clay to fish

whats a spate?

Great vid -- nice keeper !?
