Always wanted to fish this part of the country. We've sold loads of our weedless teaser rigs to anglers in Pembrokeshire and now I can see why bass fishing is so popular there.
Several options in Wales, Vaughan Thomas, Jimmy Lemmon, Joe Shaw, Mathew Rickard and more, contact details are here: fishingwales.net/guides-and-instructors/
Where are these marks your fiahing? I have started exploring the coast for decent lure fishing spots, i have walked a decent amount of Angle bay towards fresh west and stackpole quay coastal paths but cant seem to find anywhere safe enough to climb down to the rocks
These are around St Davids head area. A lot of work goes into finding the access. Joe is available as a guide for that reason and importantly, for safety, as some marks should not be attempted on your own or without knowing the correct routes down.
This is exactly what I was thinking. No2 black fury meps or silver with black spots. Also the long blade anglia no2 silver or gold. No need to spend a fortune on lures although I have close to 50 myself 😅😅
@@captainflint89 indeed, Charlie is flying the flag for doing it right, using single hooks and netting the fish, retaining them in the water with minimal damage as a result.
Many of the West and North Wales angling clubs allow spinning for trout, on rivers that are often small and overgrown, so fly casting is difficult. A video like this provides guidance for those wishing to try lure fishing, a very enjoyable form of fishing, and as you can see, no treble hooks and no damaged fish in the video thanks to great fish handling.
Matching the hatch is doing it right! Nothing more rewarding than catching on a dry fly or a nymph. Where I'm from in South wales spinning or lures are not allowed on the rivers. We still get poachers using them tho
@@rodgie84 preaching to the converted mate , i am a dry fly freak and i have fly fished since i was a boy although we ALL started with maggot and worm , spinning with trebles and ripping the mouth and gills of more than one parr , with or without permission to be on the water. some anglers are disabled or have pain that prevents fly fishing and others just enjoy the simplicity of lures. with regards to "matching the hatch" just because there is some fish rising to olives does not mean that the old wily 8lb brown that eats minnows and smaller trout is going to take your size 14 cast upstream to perfection. it will perhaps be fooled into an aggressive strike by a lure or streamer and i have witnessed this on a few occasions . that being said , i have had larger fish on dries and nymphs but lures often get the bigger and more aggressive fish
@@FishingInWales my son and I are members of Abergwili. Nice to see lure fishing for trout in Wales getting more exposure. The LRF approach to sea, lake and rivers in my view the best way to get kids into fishing. Light and Short 6-7ft rods are easy for young kids to control - whether catching mackerel on jigs off new quay pier or 2lb rainbows from the Usk Res.
Terry, Ceri...great video....what beautiful grayling on the fly !...thanks a lot for sharing ...may I ask if you ever use a net retractor (like a Gear Keeper / Orvis retractor etc) attached to a D-ring on the back of your chest pack/vest, or just a simple magnet + lanyard system which looks less bulky?....many thanks
Havent been to Lliw since I was a kid, I hooked into a big rainbow one day and then ended up losing it by the bank because my dad accidently hit the line with the net I also remember that the old owner wanted fishermen to kill any perch they caught because he didn't want them in there, I can only assume because they were eating trout eggs and baby trout but I dont know.
Do you stock it with rainbows at all now.I joined your club one year for the grayling on the taff and you were stocking the beacons with rainbows then.
Nothing like a wild Welsh Brownie. Absolutely beautiful fish. For smaller wild fish such as these what would you consider a suitable size for the table?
Around a pound I suppose is a good table size. However, Beacons is run as catch & release fishery on the Fishing Passport day ticket, as are many of the wild, unstocked lakes locally. Vast majority of anglers will return wild fish. If you are looking for trout to eat, I'd suggest a venue with stocked rainbow trout, such as Usk reservoir or Llwyn-on.
@@FishingInWales .. Ah yes of course all very dependable... and in my box, usually used in Scottish highland lochans . A trip to your area seems a interesting option.
Great video! Do you recommend wearing thigh or chest waders at this venue along with other wild brown trout lakes and streams (Ebbw, Sir Howy), in South East Wales? As a newbie to wild fishing and quite heavy handed (eek) which wader manufacturers & materials would you suggest I start out with? Thank you.
Chest waders will cover most situations though on many mountains lakes you do not need to wade very far and thigh waders are full adequate. I use these more often than chest waders and you can sometimes even fish in boots or wellies as there is no need to wade. The important thing is cast and walk to cover the water. In rivers you are probably better in Chest waders as they allow you to frequently wade cross the river to get the best casting positions as you progress upstream.
