The particular time of year can also effect how successful you are fishing, with spring and autumn being popular times of the year. Furthermore the best times of the day are during periods of low light on cloudy days. Bright and sunny weather will encourage the salmon to hide and gather deep in the holes of the river.

Fishing with a partner is always advisable as you can work as a team. Whilst one of you fishes the other can assist with spotting salmon, or climb onto a riverbank and observe the reaction of the fish, locating exactly where they are. Of course when you have found the salmon stay still and calm, salmon can get frightened very easily and make a bid for freedon, so always be patient. When you feel a tug reel it in.

Salmon fishing of course is always made substantially easier by using the right equipment, so always ask for advice from the fishery guides and ghillies.

You will need to buy fly-fishing equipment and lines, with a variety of flies and a range of bait. You will also require a pair of waders for the deep water in most rivers if you want to reach the prime locations. Also remember a landing net as this will greatly diminish your chances of losing the fish Make sure finally that you have a permit to fish in that particular river or lake or you could face legal charges.
