Fly Fishing Big Atlantic Salmon Northern Ireland River Mourne Baronscourt Abercorn Fishery Carnaquin

Fly Fishing Big Atlantic Salmon Northern Ireland River Mourne Baronscourt Abercorn Fishery Carnaquin 31 May 2025

The video shows what might be the biggest spring fish caught in Northern Ireland this year. It was just over 17lb and was caught on the River Mourne on the Baronscourt Estate Water, Abercorn Fishery on Carnaquin Beat. I was fishing a Rio Scandi Launch line with a fast sink 6'' per second. The fish took a size 8 self tied Glenties Shrimp on the dropper

I used a GoPro Hero 13 Back Camera as a bodycam running GoPro Labs software with Hindsight always on. I was using GoPro's new Anamorphic lens
