It would be too much to expect everyone to agree with you. It is not only anglers, they account for only a small proportion of fish. It is the seals in the estuaries that do the most damage, and everyone loves the seal! The cormorants take their share of the parr and smolts and then the poor sods have to take their chances in the ocean....but they survive. It will be a momentous day when the bubble bursts(if ever) on salmon farming. I can find no referenceto your salmon fly the Muragha. More vids to follow Happy Fishing Dave C. and the Team Hi Frank

Only then does the fish have a chance.I would love to see more people take up the fly rod rather than spin for trout or salmon .Six months ago I started tying my own flies after buying two kits and as much capes and skins as I could get my hand on and many books such as the Bible and Fly Tying by Peter Gathercole and Pat O'Reilly & Derek Hoskin .Books is one thing but what you are doing is great taking the time to show a step by step of this art and skill that should be past on.You woulden do a could of salmon flies or tube flies Iam mad to move on too them.One fly I like to try is a fly call the muragha its a Irish mountain fly that hatches 1st week in June after the May fly pending wheather and always hatchs at dust in wild mountain lakes and swins to ashore with a large wave behine it.The big brownies come up after them for about 45 minutes its magic dry fly fishing and good on the nerves. Muragha is Irish for sage and the fly is tied with pheasant tail ,wings .olived dubbing ,deer hair .Please guys release the wild fish back again and save stocks and stop spinning for them (BRING BACK THE FLY) guys put back the wild salmon remember you did'nt catch it it caught you. Keep up the good work dave and tight lines & screeming reels Frank Hi Dave return to fishing a few years ago and started doing the lot course.deep sea,beach casting but my love is the fly rod.

There is nothing to match the satisfaction of catching a trout on a fly you have tied yourself. I hope this one is only the first of many. We also get a kick out of getting others started. Well done.
