For many of us it is the most exciting period in the salmon angling calendar as the rivers begin to open up again and we finally get the chance to dust off our tackle, pull the waders back on and get out there in search of one of the greatest prizes in fishing – a big springer!
It’s the end of the planning, the anticipation is at fever pitch as you wait for that first pull and a glimpse of a deep, silver flank… To make sure you get your season off to a great start the Sportfish team have selected the top gear you need to make those early trips a resounding success and our Tuition Manager, and salmon fishing guru, Tom Festing is here to pass on his advice and top tips.
It may be cold outside but it’s time to get out there and start chasing some silver!
