Hi Les yes our children are one of our most precious things to have!!! I always enjoy time with the boys even though they haven’t got the fishing bug like me!!! You take care mate always pleasure to hear from you ❤️ cheers ian
Yes he would!!! I’m sure we will get out there together soon!! But before that we have a Chesil trip lined up which we are both excited about! Thanks as always for watching cheers Ian
Ha ha yes a lovely change from the beach fishing…. Those trout fight really well on a light fly rod!!! Lovely weather too and some obliging fish…. Great fun!!! Thanks as always for watching cheers Ian
Hi Mike yes I’ve been a fly fisherman since my dad taught me aged 8 on the Tyne. In the 80s I met Chris and he taught me sea fishing and I taught him fly fishing Was a lovely day afloat with Jake and one we will always remember fondly Cheers Ian
Brilliant vid ian. I miss fly fishing haven't done it in about 8 years. I started fly fishing when i was 6 i was lucky enough to have a trout lake on my grandparents farm in pensford,so spent most of my childhood fly fishing which i absolutely loved, im 31 now due to having a lovely little family i don't tend to fly fish anymore. I Do more sea fishing now. I think this year i might have to go and a bit more fresh water fishing like the old day's
Hi Jamie lovely to hear from you Like you I tend to sea fish more these days as I find the challenge fulfills me more but I still enjoy a few fly fishing trips every year. I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video and I’m jealous of your childhood lake!!! Thanks for watching much appreciated cheers Ian
Hi Alan lovely to hear from you! Yes times with family are very precious indeed as life has a habit of changing things in an instant for sure!! So pleased you enjoyed the video it makes the effort worthwhile!! Cheers Ian
Hi Nick yes my dad taught me to fly fish when I was 8 on the river Tyne and I’ve tried to pass it on to my boys! Jake did really well considering he hasn’t fly fished for years! It’s great fun when you hook them on light gear!!! Thanks for watching much appreciated cheers Ian
What a cracking day out, perfect weather, lots of fish, what a special memory a day out with dad sharing a passion and spending time together, be nice to him, he might be the one picking your care home, not for a long time yet, tight lines.
Hi Taz yes I’ve told him my care home window needs to look out over water!!! It was such a lovely day perfect in so many ways!! Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment cheers Ian
Hi Nick so pleased you enjoyed the video! Yes Jake struggled initially with the reel but sorted it out eventually!!! Thanks very much for watching cheers Ian
Wow amazing video Ian, what beautiful fish. Did you weigh any of them.? . I really miss fly fishing . I fished Blagdon last year from the bank but struggled casting with arthritis in my right hand . Guess I will have to try a boat. Stay safe and tight lines. Mike
Hi Mike so pleased that you enjoyed the video! We only kept one fish and didn’t weigh any but a couple probably were just over 4lb Me and Chris fish the bank occasionally but as I had Jake with me I figured he stood more chance from a boat. Thanks as always for watching cheers Ian
Hi Glen yes we had a fabulous time together it’s a beautiful place to fish and we were lucky with the weather too!! Glad it made your day mate!!! Thanks as always for watching cheers Ian
