Cormorants - Fly Fishing For Trout - How It Works and The Flies YOU Need! 

Brilliant advice as always Rhys. Thanks so much. Cheers

Great tutorial videos getting released from Rhys atm. Really enjoying them. Keep them coming!.

Great video again mate

Brilliant information always thanks Rhys

Followed the cormorant and lure method. Had two trout on the same line on the first cast. It turned my day from normally catching 2-3 trout a day to 15 a day, Thanks Rhys.

Good stuff Rhys, as usual.

Absolutely fantastic Rhys, the knowledge you have and willingness to share makes me so happy. I've fished a while and like to think I'm okay, there's one thing for certain... ..your vids will take it up a notch. Many many thanks buddy from South West Scotland 👍 😄

Excellent video Rhys will certainly be trying out your methods 👌👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Learn so much from these videos, great mate

Excellent information brilliantly presented!

Love it Rhys, need to try these , never liked them before 👍👍

Great video Rhys, had good results off the pearl and all black cormorants

Love a cormorant, how I find it fishes best for me is a slow figure of 8 floating line & a buzzer on the dropper. bank fishing in spring time.

My go to fly, black and red body with good marabou wing.

Two words some up your videos Just Brilliant

Fist time I have fished cormorants never thought to use them before they were deadly thanks for the advice love the videos 👍

My preference is 3 or 4 flies usually with a Daiwl Bach or 2 and a Cormorant, on an Airflo slow tip right up to a fast intermediate, with a slow retrieve. My favourite Cormorant is a Bibio pattern tied small, say a size 12 or 14.

Thanks Rhys! Been wondering about cormorants as to what they imitate - attractors are good for me :) I've tied up a few black winged ones to try in the spring and will add a few white ones to the box.

Great Vid Rhys, I used to fish cormorants regularly and got out of the habit. I’m going to try them again, thanks for the kick up the @ss

Up here in Scotland the cormorant is my go to fly pattern on lochs and reservoirs as you say due to the peaty nature of the water. Black cormorants with a fire orange hot arse have always done well for me with brown trout. I have to agree with you as it amazes me how the fish can pick out a wee size 12 or 14 cormorant. My normal is an 8 or 10 but when fishings tough dropping down a size or two always seems to work for me.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎣🎣🎣

Thanks, really struggle with Comerants, yet to get a bite on one

Hi rhys Barry I lost confident in these flys not catch anything but on 1 of your live chats you explained couple of tips 1 was di3 line blob comerant patterns 3 fly set up never looked back big thanks Barry from Cumbria

Still getting use to the names of the UK flies names. Need more pics and tying instructions!

Interesting as my favourite local fishery has coloured water, hence probably why I have success with them.

Enjoyed that Rhys! TBH we have a box of 12 cormorants and rarely use them, hence neither of us have ever caught a fish with them. Having watched your video we will give them a go. Thanks for the advice.

Would you use these as mini lures? Or class them as mini lures? Brilliant channel.

Hi Rhys I love what you produce but do you have something for the very novice such as how to do a basic set up and how to do the knots and attach the leader to the line. All that stuff. Thanks

Hi Rhys I'm off to Clywedog over Easter have you got any tips of what I should be doing what flies to use and what methods.

For me I think it falls into the suggestive but not imitative of something to eat. Small stillwater, I tend to go 15 ft leader, skinny cormie on the point, bushy cormie middle and scruffy buzzer or spider or sunk hopper on the top dropper. Sometimes will put a blob or fab on the point. Slow retrieve typically, figure or 8, but sometimes near static with a very occasion small pull

Hi Rhys, great video! When you mentioned the Lure option, would you consider having the cormorant trailing behind the bigger lure (attached to the hook eye or hook bend of the lure) or would you always prefer it in front of the lure (like you mentioned). Just because as someone new to fly fishing I tend to get less tangles/wrap arounds attaching droppers to hook eye or hook bend.

Hi rhys I've got the new hardy ultradisc 6000 cassette fly reel it says it will take 50 yards of backing my question is would it be able to take an airflo slow sink intermediate as I believe it has a running line I seen you review it already its just to see if I would still have enough room on my spool?

Hi Rhys I'm off to cly

Great videos,I'm relatively new to reservoir fishing,and mainly use snakes and lures,and have used cormorants on a dropper,would love to try this washing line method,seams a very relaxing style compared to pulling snakes,and roll poly retrieves,as I'm always on the bank,does washing line work from the banks?,at clywedog for instance?.

Have you ever fished at newton farm?

Cormorants are my no 1 fly as a gang of 3 sometimes a boobie one on the point .

What size would you recommend for still water

At 2:23 what kind of blob or fab is that never seen anything like them before

👏🏻👍🏻🎣

Hi a question for you I fish in a peaty res No natural fly life how do I approach fly fishing with out using lures all the time I’m in west Yorkshire need help cheers

Quick question have you ever used a baby doll pattern

Cormies are not something I even have in my fly box. This will have to change before I get back in a boat. Cheers Rhys

When is the new video coming out my dear friend??

I’ve caught on them but I’ve not got the confidence in them

You can’t see my face !

If you do the opposite of what everyone else is doing you will get a fish.
