Salmon Fly Fishing | Boleside Day 1 | River Tweed | May 2023

The start of my first day at Boleside took a downwards turn from the get go...

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.

FISHDEE 24 - Hey everyone, along with my friends Russ and Calum we've entered a 24 hour fishing marathon supporting the River Dee Trust. Fishing means many things to many people, such as getting out in the fresh air and into the elements, this has never been more important for our physical and mental health over recent years.

The River Dee Trust is delighted that we have a great group of individuals from all over the U.K who will come together to share an experience of a lifetime and make memories with new people, all while raising funds for the River Dee Trust and our conservation and restoration programmes to protect our iconic Wild Atlantic Salmon on the River Dee in Scotland.

As Team "Relentless Fishers" we are aiming to raise £1500 between us for this very worthy cause and I hope you will consider donation / sponsoring our fund raising efforts - and of course the whole 24 hour event will be covered in my channel.
