FISHING TIPS

The first morning's salmon fishing is like the first morning's skiing – there is so much to remember! The following is a general guide to help you feel more comfortable on the river and not be embarrassed in the company of your peers.

Remember

Rod rack for your car
Tape to secure your rod pieces
New leader as last season material should be discarded
A variety of poly leaders for floating - fast sinking tips
Polaroid glasses
Life vest
Wading jacket
Wading stick
Waders
Rods/reels etc

When using chest waders make sure that anything you want from your trouser pocket should be put out before putting on your waders. Leave your mobile phone and electric key fob in your bag on the bank as they don't work once they have been immersed in water – put your handkerchief in your wader pocket.

All you will need on you whilst fishing is leader material, a few flies, priest, pliers if using ‘barbless' hooks – scissors and camera to record the returned fish.

We hope the above fishing tips have been of help.
