Salmon Fly Fishing | Newtyle | River Tay | July 2023

My first day out fishing in July 2023 after the heatwave broke here in the UK and the River Tay was running high with alot of water pushing through. Regardless of the wet conditions I had a great day!

Hi, my name is Chris and my channel is called Cornish Chris the Fish. I am a Cornishman venturing out beyond the Duchy (of Cornwall) to experience life on the road full time touring in my Caravan Dalleth Arta, fly fishing for Salmon and vlogging my adventures. I am charting my salmon fly fishing adventures and will profile each fishery that I attend. I may even catch a few fish 😀. All views are my own good or bad.

Fishing Set Up: Alot of people like to know my set up and currently I fish with two different set ups depending on conditions and the size of river.
