Fish the lower liddle still , had plenty on the bottom pools half a mile up from the junction. Jungle warfare tryin to get there now. But, sedburgh anglers water on the lune is really good.
Nice fishing, I prefer to use hooks with the barb flattened with pliers rather than barbless, seem to lose less fish and they unhook easily without any damage to the fish. Not fished that river, I am on the Tay system at the moment.
Hi I also do that at times, I just like the quality of those hooks in the small size I was using. I can loose fish even if it was welded to my fly line. Regards Rod
My taste in rods is for using light fly lines 2-5 weight, I have been happy with all the under £400 rods and very disappointed in all the expensive rods I have owned. I will cover this in another video soon. In answer to your question YES. Regards Rod
@@KW_FlyFishing Hi there are better sections but I find I always at the back of the queue, my kind of fishing is slow and quiet, I have better fishing on my doorstep the river Eden but most of it is in a public park so dog walkers, swimmers, and stone throwing children spoil the fishing. Regards Rod
@@roderickwalker491 Hi rod, slow and quiet is my kind too. Loving the videos your editing is getting great I'm learning from both your fishing and editing 👍
So nice to watch a vid which doesn’t have all that ‘awesome’, ‘amazing’, and ‘OMG guys !’ nonsense. Very little in life lives up to being quite that good ! Nice also to see I’m not the only one who gets frustrated with the riverbank foliage.
Lots more low key videos to come, I have just finished another four outings for very little so waiting to get a fish or two before I drown on again. Regards Rod
@@roderickwalker491 I’m not sure where you are based but I fish the Tees and surrounding area and a bit of realism is refreshing. Not all trips are productive, but it would be boring if they were. Too many YT fishing vids selectively distil the ‘moments’ at the expense of honesty. We all have days where we blank and the knowledge we are not alone is assuring.
Lovely stuff. I prefer these kinds of diary style fishing videos much more than any attempts at semi-pro film-making with silly music and editing tricks. I like your style. Thanks for sharing.
@@robinbeavan5152 Both can be great, night fishing for sea trout to my is the cream unfortunately sea trout numbers are so low I am not prepared to lose the sleep 😴
Hi there fished the Ledmore estate and loch cam for a number of years and had no issues with the boats. Looks Like you hired the boat for the river not for the loch. The Cam is one of the best hidden secret Scottish loch. Don't hire the river boat next time and fish the loch hire the loch boats and pay the proper price.
Hi I to have fished Loch Cam for many years and in the past would have gone for a boat with motor but now I have an electric outboard costing £1800 so I do not want a boat with a fixed petrol outboard, the river boat was the only option. I do not expect to hire a boat full of water with a leak. The cost of hire was not a problem, if you have ever used one of the newer electric outboards you would understand why I made that choice for a boat. Rod
Hi at the time I took that footage it was for my own record, so now I film with RU-vid in mind I hope you can see the resent improvements, in short if I go back I will do the video so much better. Many thanks for your comments. Regards Rod
At times fish can be fixated on very small impossible to imatate flies but most of the time if you are close to the size they are feeding on you will get sport. The olive fly was just one of my patterns, just a close colour of a natural insect. Regards Rod
Hi Roderick, I really enjoyed watching your video. I'm looking to upgrade my landing net, the one you have in the video looks great. Who is the manufacture and where did you buy it?
Hello Roderick always enjoy your video’s, I fished Hury last year the water was a lot higher then but still enjoyed my day pity it’s eighty miles from my house in Leeds. Not many opportunities down here to fly fish. 🎣
@@peterb443 Hi I know how you feel my favourite fishing is 350 miles to the north of me, try a long weekend and fish Hurry for a couple of days. Regards Rod
Hi I think when I lost the two big fish, a Zulu on the dropper and a white aero wing on the tail fly , size 8 and 14. I make lots of flies for dry fly fishing that are not true to pattern,just lots of colour versions to match what I see on the water. My basic still water setup is a large fly on the dropper and a small fly on the tail , I go down to size 18 a lot of the time, the big fly helps you see the gentle takes on the small fly. Hope this helps. Rod
What a beautiful place to catch the wild 'uns. I would have preferred to see you using a landing net rather than hauling them out and using dry hands to take the hook out!
I really enjoyed your video and think you did a good way of showing how you can catch sea trout in daylight! Many people I’ve spoken to over the years have stated that you can’t catch them unless it’s dark. Fortunately I myself knocked that one out of the park, like you it can be done. One thing I’d like to mention which you picked up on is about people thrashing the water with spinners, well I used to feel the same about this, until a group of us (6 in fact) fishing on the Welsh Dee . Five of us were spinning, myself included when John K said you guys go first and he had a 15 foot split cane fly rod with a salmon fly on and he pulled out a beautiful salmon. Since then it never bothered me if guys spin before I use a fly. I think it can wind the fish up into getting aggressive and then a fly gets the reward.
Hi salmon are different to sea trout I have witnessed a dog made to swim a salmon pool to as they said wake the fish up and it worked, but sea trout will not tolerate that. Thanks for your comments. Regards Rod
I find they are not too fussy most of the time I will start small trying to match the hatch then if that fails I go two or three sizes bigger than works at times when there are a few mayflies about. Regards Rod
I fished Cow Green a week after this video was posted. I had a fantasic day fishing size 12 wets on a floating line. I went from the car park on the north shore all the way down to the river. Hard work on foot but worth the effort as I managed some decent fish for this water.
Thanks, please check out some of my other videos they are all at much the same pace, I hate over expressions that seems to me so far removed from the gentle art of fly fishing. Regards Rod
Hi I like long soft rods, the main ones I used Drift 10ft 3 weight, Snowbee 9-6ft 3 weight and a 10ft 4 weight Hardy for bigger wet flies. Soft rods are better at playing fish on small hooks but whatever you use you have to feel at home with it. Regards Rod
Hi, sorry to lose you, I obviously chose the wrong track . I have had a lot of feedback in the beginning that a bit of music in the background is whats wanted. Tight lines Rod
I totally agree with this gentleman about music in any fly fishing video you don’t need it , you make some really good videos but any music spoils them,the worst are those who have rock music 😂
Evertime i go to fontburn i avoid the shop side the banks are far to high. I like to go on the other side much easier to fish and land them it gets busy in the summer but if i go early enough i normally get a good spot
Hi I do think it is a better bait fishery than fly due to the few places you can get a line out. For me it is a long way to go when there are better options closer to home. Thanks for your comments. Regards Rod
@@roderickwalker491 Yeah totally agree it's far to easy to get caught in a tree unless you can get on the bit next to the shop but that's nearly always busy
We have a local river just like this, as in you need an expedition team to get to the water in order to fish due to the extreme overgrowth. As for the geese, I can understand your plight, the local swans have kept them at bay for some time recently, whereas before this they were very noisy and disturbing on the still water I fish.
