Found this lurking on my pc so decided to have a play editing the jumps on slow mo.
The Whiteadder isn't renowned for bigger sea trout so this on was easily the biggest I've caught from the river in many years of fishing there.

Thanks...the only way I'm going to improve on my editing is by practicing.Great stuff, some fine fish there, thanks for sharing.
Even liked the music
Unfortunately for me I deleted all my raw files from the last 2 years so have to use older stuff.
I'm finding it less of a pain now than I did at first...almost enjoyable.
The music is always a tester..trying to find the right atmospheric balance.

Is that the weir close to Chirnside?
Only fished the Whiteadder once years ago and the weir looks familiar.

Good video.
Used to watch the fish trying to get over the weir on the Wooler Water in Wooler (tributary of the Till). Given water in November you would see loads of fish. I was up this week and never saw a one and conditions were perfect. How times have changed in a few short years.

There is a Denil pass...The big concrete monster in the middle.
The weir is so big many fish fail to find it.
The whole structure is a monster that should be blown up.

I think I have only fished the Whiteadder once this season cos of the lack of water.
Had some good sport in the past.

Believe this or not but the owners of this weir poisoned the river and were facing massive fines.
So the TC and the likes agreed or probably suggested that they put a fish counter in instead of spending the money on modifying the weir.
Some fish do get over the sides in certain heights but very few now that the pillars have been worn away .
They do go through the pass...but not all of them find it...as you can see.
Fish counter= waste of money and a missed opportunity for the improvement of the river.

I had a cardinal 55 and a 157 which i used for worming and shrimping back in the day , absolutely loved the drags on these reels and perfect sound when playing a fish. Unfortunately the 55 was stolen and the 157 i still have kicking about but bail arm mechanism goosed. For fly fishing my best sound is my Hardy Bougle then my murray stewart. The bougle absolutely screams when a fish runs.

Do you still use those reels or use a modern one ?
The Cardinal 55 got stolen . The 157 bail arm keeps flipping over during casting so i took it to bits and noticed a flat edged piece inside the arm had worn smooth so was not holding bail arm back properly, i then lost the pieces when i moved house. I now use 2 x shimano's for braid spinning and they are top end reels which are a dream to use. I am thinking and noticing IMO that i have been losing more fish when using this braid. Before i would not even have worried about it but during this lean time i have maybe over analyzed it so i had planned to go back to mono which means these small spool shimano's cannot take the mono. I have to say though i do not think i will be buying 2 x spinning reels as i have promised what salmon rods + reels i have will do me unless the runs improve. I am spending less and less time on the rivers due to no fish and getting scunnered fishing prime beats at prime times with perfect water and not seeing or touching a fish.
Now if someone told me we were going back to being able to shrimp and fish the worm as long as we returned all the fish and used circle hooks etc then i would rush out and buy 2 x new reels. As it is i am mostly fly fishing on empty rivers.
