A recent Instagram video shows why a remote, glacial river in Argentina will mostly likely produce the next world-record Chinook salmon.

I enjoy fishing for salmon with the shrimp. Like to fish it on a pin and just  bump him down.

That was caught on the river bush, where they make the world famous whiskey, basically we plumb the depth then lift the prawn a foot off the bottom, using a float to keep it suspended, so if its 6ft deep we fish the prawn/shrimp at 5ft, when the float goes down then its usually a fish

There was one on my beat on the first day. 10lbs. Nothing since mate.

I've been out a few times but caught nowt. The river has been constantly  in spate.

Unlike the lower orders, I only fish the fly ,so my opportunities to fish  have been limited due to constant rain.

We are in the middle of a storm and it's forecast to reach 80mph as I write. So can't see me being out next week.

Spinning gives me a bad back mate. It's the deadliest method imo,  but with the fly there is very little physical effort and I can fish all day. I've taught myself to speycast and that method is really easy on your body. Tight lines.
