Andrew McGall was in touch with us to let us know that he has posted another of his fine salmon fishing videos on his YouTube channel – this time fishing a clearing summer spate on a river somewhere in the north west. Andrew can make salmon fishing look easy, but thankfully he always includes some helpful tips for other anglers on how to read the water.
We’ll let Andrew give a bit of background into this one himself:
‘One of my favourite times to fish for salmon is after a July spate. The countryside is at its best, full of life and vigor and the water usually brings in fresh sparkling grilse into the river! Timing is everything in spate river fishing and ideally, you want to be fishing on the dropping spate. However, this is not always possible and the day after the spate can also be productive. You do need to tailor your tactics and adapt your strategy accordingly and if you get that right, good sport can still be had.’
‘Hope you enjoy the video and tight lines for 2025!’
