My own humble two penneth worth.
As a visiting angler to all of my fishing destinations for migratory fish my tactics are largely dictated to me by the weather leading up to my arrival, as I arrive and shortly thereafter.
Now by and large I'm more a sea trouter than salmon angler but I'll tend to take a spinning rod, some spinners and some bait hooks and ball weights just in case I'm browned off.
On the three occasions I've worm fished (without any takes I might add) I always stepped and moved - much like fishing a fly down a pool.
What irks most of all as a visiting angler are the local middle-to-old aged coarse fishing local b@stards who have their deckchairs out and sit, arrogantly defiant on being on the best pool without a hint of what could be remotely described as sportsmanship.
On the Wnion/Mawdacch it's maddening to see these guys encamped on Little Pill or the Pill. Or above Cenarth Falls on the Teifi (wish they'd stop the sale of rod caught salmon here but you might as well try to stop the moon from rising).
I have no problem with bait fishermen who practise C&R in, perhaps using circle hooks etc but it's the coarse-fishing mentality that accompany's it which does my head in.
Spinning can be fun sometimes and, if I take last year's trip to the S.Tyne as an example, saved a blank and I witnessed at close hand the largest salmon I'd had the pleasure to touch but taken on a flying C.
We'd flogged the water white on fly up until that point over three days.
