Hello there. Great video! I’m so very curious what rods are in your hands. They look like super fast recovering rods. I’m a new spey caster, and my 13’6” 8wt has a LOT more wobble to it… Cheers, Gus
@cjay8163 The rod holder is made by a friend. If you send me a private message through my facebook page ‘Stuart Ingledew Fly Fishing’ I will send you his details. Click this link:- facebook.com/profile.php?id=100094263695351 Don’t want to put his details on a public forum is all. Cheers Stu
@peterpann9197 They are indicators and flies I designed and make myself so they aren’t available from the shops. If you send me a private message through my facebook page it might be possible to get some full rigs sent to the fishery in time. Click this link:- facebook.com/profile.php?id=100094263695351 Hope you have a good week. Theres some cracking brownies in there 👌 Cheers Stu
@nicothiry4667 Many thanks 👍 Its just a fly rod holder - not sure theres an actual name for it now you mention it 🤔 If you send us a message via my facebook page (Stuart Ingledew Fly Fishing) I’ll send you the contact details of the lad who makes them. Don’t want to put his details on a public forum is all. He can post overseas if you are not UK based I believe. They are really handy things and stop tangles and also help stop people standing on rods normally laid flat on the ground. As well as the obvious positive of making multiple rods much easy to carry with one hand. If you look at the Chatton video theres a more detailed review of it in the first half. Cheers Stu
@martintickleholland5571 Thanks very much 👍 Appreciate your comment. It was terrible conditions when we filmed and didn’t show the main body of the reservoir to its full potential, which is normally fantastic as I think you may know. The wind was the hottest I have ever fished in. Was like being in an oven. Thanks again, Stu
🙂👍 Aye - its a windy old place. Even worse when its calm with the midges. Great place regardless though. Maybe see you on the bank one day @martintickleholland5571 Cheers Stu
Hi Rob/Jamie, great short video. I a bit of a neat freak when it comes to being prepared and organised. Not been doing much fly fishing, but looking to get back into it. The whole boat box concept is very interesting and the prep work. Inwoukd very much like a longer video similar to the ‘whats in your seatbox’ videos we get in coarse / match fishing and the manufacturers of the different components etc. Top job and keep it up.
Send us a message at Stuart Ingledew Fly Fishing on facebook @rookey8061 and I’ll give you his email and number privately. So it keeps his details off a public forum 👍
Hi @owenjordan7165 It’s a world of confusion I’m afraid 🙂 If you are fishing lakes in the UK for rainbow trout, get a #8. These are your best all rounders. Just about everyone who has fished for a few years will have a #8 in their rod collection, so they’re never wasted money. As a quick explanation, the lower the number, the lighter the line and the less distance you can cast. You can get rods as low as #2 and generally up to #8 for trout fishing. Why do we bother with lighter lines and rods? Because the lighter lines help present the flies a little better, the fish don’t get so much of a fright when a lighter line lands on the water, and a lower rated outfit is lighter in the hand and you feel the fish better when you hook them. A heavier outfit will cast further and not be as badly affected by the wind. There’s plenty of the top anglers in the UK will use nothing but a #8 line and rod. There’s a Cadence blog that will give plenty of pointers on rod and line weights here in much more detail. www.cadencefishing.co.uk/blog/fly-fishing/choosing-a-cadence-stillwater-fly-rod/ And if you have never trout fished before and haven’t got a clue what to buy for your first trip, read this: www.cadencefishing.co.uk/blog/fly-fishing/essentials-for-fly-fishing-on-stillwaters/ Here’s a few pointers on what to do on your first ever trip: www.cadencefishing.co.uk/blog/fly-fishing/beginners-series-what-to-do-on-your-first-fly-fishing-trip/ Then if you want to take it up properly, here’s the extra things you’d need to buy: www.cadencefishing.co.uk/blog/fly-fishing/non-essentials-for-fly-fishing-on-stillwaters/ Hope that helps, but if you do have any questions let us know and we’ll try to help 👍 Cheers Stu
@@CadenceFlyFishing thank you, you taught me how to catch my first fly fishing trout on Saturday the 16th down at derwent will never forget that moment cheers stu legend
So that was you!? 👍 Don’t know who was buzzing more with that fish. Was great to see and you defo deserved it Owen. Fast learner. Just getting this facebook page up and running if you want to join? Send us any questions through the messenger if you want? Link here: facebook.com/profile.php?id=100094263695351 Thanks for commenting anyway. Enjoyed the craic with you and your brother 👍 Stu
How to make simple things complicated. Left snake roll is all you need there and strip the line with right hand. Why do you change hand between casts? This won't work when you need to manage loops of running line anyway. Terrible and totally useless habit.
Another very informative video Stuart particularly as I'm about to start fishing Chatton this spring so might see you up there . Have to say I'm enjoying fishing with the 5 weight rod I bought from Cadence.
Hi Stuart thanks for your veiws on cadence rod i have 10ft 5wt it is braw use it for floaters and sink tip the 9ft 9 8wt or 10ft wt sounds good thanks once again for your help
Hi William. In short, the answer is yes. Very much so. If you are buying for sinking line only, I’d just err towards the 9ft 9in #8. But the 10ft #8 is more versatile and handles sinkers great. There’s an article here that discusses most Rod buying considerations. Click this link www.cadencefishing.co.uk/blog/fly-fishing/choosing-a-cadence-stillwater-fly-rod/ It might help you decide 👍 Many thanks Stu
@trevorluft1763 In answer to your question about whether the bag could take food for a long day (which I’ve accidentally deleted while replying)… Only if you’re a sparrow. Its a good enough size for most of the fishing stuff you’d need and a few cereal/chocolate bars on top, but not a three course meal. At a push you could get a supermarket sarnie in there by sacrificing some tackle I suppose. Its certainly not a tiny space. But not like one of the old style shoulder bags you could park a car in. I do clip a water bottle to one of the outside rings though. And it doesn’t really get in the way or pull down on the straps too much. If we meet on the bank you’re welcome to a look 👍 Cheers,
It wasn’t something we were planning just yet Trevor, but never say never. You probably wouldn’t want to see me hacking a pattern to pieces but I can ask if any of the team are up for it in the future for sure. But it certainly won’t be in the short term. Cheers, Stu
Hi Trevor, Winners were announced on the Cadence Fly Fishing facebook page on 2nd August. The lucky ones were: Peter B Alan Edwards Chris Meadows Cheers, Stu
Great advice thank you 🙏 I’m thinking about going fly fishing never ever done it,lots of course fishing but never fly fishing 🎣 and I’ve always wanted to do it!
Thanks for your comment 👍 @alexhamilton4368 Coarse fishermen generally make good fly fishers 👍 It’ll be a nice change. Although we’ve got a few Beginners things being done in the next month, let us know if there’s anything in particular you want some pointers on and we’ll see if we can include it. Cheers Stu
I've noticed on quite a few vids that the cameraman never pans to where you are indicating while you are talking about features of the fisheries. You need to kick him up the jacksie. Good info though.
@grievejimmy Send a private message to ‘Stuart Ingledew Fly Fishing’ on Facebook or the Cadence Fly Fishing Facebook page. Include your name, email address and mobile number and I’ll pass it on to the fella that makes them, who will get in touch. Cheers Stu

@stevegilbraith4866 Hi Steve, The indicator and everything around it is something I designed and make myself. If you send a message through ‘Stuart Ingledew Fly Fishing’ on facebook I’ll let you know how to get them. They don’t slip at all, among loads of other advantages. Cheers Stu
Stuart what would you recommend the 9foot 9 rod 8wt or the 10ft 8wt rod as my fishing is 80percent boat fishing 20 percent bank fishing although my bank fishing is probably increased quite a bit this year cheers Willie grant
Hi Willie, Go for the 10ft if you’re doing so much boat fishing as it’ll be better for controlling the droppers on lift off. It’s a cracking bank rod as well. The reason I rave on about the 9ft 9in is for sinking line work mainly. But the 10ft will do that job too, but 2% worse than the 9ft 9in. If you are doing a lot of floating line stuff, the 10ft will edge it as you will pick the line up off the water better on the strike. In summary, both rods are brilliant all rounders and neither is a bad choice. It definitely sounds like the 10ft would be better for you, especially if its main job is floating lines from boats. Hope that’s ok? Cheers Stu
Hi Neil, Its a fishpond Switchback Pro. The key point being the bags on a slide rail. Which means you don’t have to pull the whole belt around when you need something. Got sick of waistcoats getting overloaded and pulling around the neck. Not regretted buying this for one second - apart from the few funny looks it got on its first trips 🙂Cheers Stu
Fished there in the past since the 70s . I am now banned for life by Don Coe fisheries manager and his staff after being caught on CCTV camera at Grassholme Disabled Toilets with my female friend while trying to use the toilet before a days fishing . Disgusted to be watched on CCTV camera,
CCTV cameras are something the users will never win with. Essential for security in modern society. Quite poor for privacy on the flip side. I’d rather stay out of discussing your ban other than to say all the staff, including Don, have been absolutely superb over the years in my experience. But I hope you get the situation sorted. Good luck.
Thanks for the reply Stuart lovely reservoir caught my first ever fish on the Fly at Hury . That fish got off but it taught me that we can catch fish on Fur and Feather .I have fished the river many times over the years and found either a weighted fly on the point on the floating line worked or i liked to use the Cortland Blue Intermediate line to get deeper in coloured water ,I use the Bibio on the top dropper with either a weighted Black and Red Wooly Bugger on the point or a gold bead red and black Wooly bugger worked . Mr Sage the Baliff was a good man and always gave me sound advice . Still got the River Wear and Swale to fish . @@StuI-kl5xt
Hi @Dougtroutfisher Did you get to try it out? Perfect pick by the way. Will suit inner Hebrides perfectly. Thanks for buying. We really appreciate it. Stu
Great video, I really liked that multi fly rod holder tool, you were carrying with you. what a brilliant idea, looks like a great way to carry multiple pre-rigged setups with you, a real time saver enabling you to change flies, tactics, and setups quickly without the fuss. where did you get it? or did you make it?
Hi, Its certainly a good idea isn’t it? Not something I make but a friend does. By all means send a message through the Cadence Fly Fishing page and I’ll send his contact details privately. The other bonus is they keep the rods elevated just above ground level so they don’t get stood on as easily when not in use. Wouldn’t be without one to be honest. You can get two, three or four rod versions. Many thanks Stu
@@CadenceFlyFishing Thanks for the reply, and I appreciate the gesture. Although there may be an issue, as I am from Australia, I'm not sure whether your friend would mind shipping to Australia? I would certainly be able to pay the shipping cost if they were reasonably priced. Thanks again.
Not a problem. Have just checked and he is ok to send to Australia 👍 Send a message through the Cadence Fly Fishing facebook page and I’ll pass you his details. Many thanks Stu
Brilliant advice! We need more of this kind of video for complete novices. This really helps avoid those early frustrations that might put most people off.
Hi WilliamGrant, Yes we sell spare spools 👍 In case you didn’t know, if you order a Cadence reel at the moment (August 2023) you will get a free spare spool worth over £100 included free of charge). The rod carriers are made by a man outside of Cadence whose details I can’t put on a public forum like this. Which is why you’d need to send a private message to our facebook page. I’ll happily pass the details from there 👍 Have you tried the 10ft #5 yet? Cheers Stu
Hi Darren, If you leave 3 to 4 yards of flyline out PLUS your leader. The main point is to not retrieve all the fly line in though. Its something everyone does when they are starting out and can be a difficult habit to break. Hope that helps, Stu
Watched your you tube on sharpley springs and got back into fly fishing after a few years off, big thanks can't wait for my next trip every week sometimes 2 trips So the weight forward 7 would really help Love the videos keep them coming
