Five top items of tackle for going boat fly fishing. 

Hi Lindsay Regarding taking waterproofs in the boat,I would echo what you are saying and add that you should also take extra warm layers as well. Here is a true story:- a few years ago one of my friends went on a club outing to a very famous Scottish Loch ( Loch Leven). The few weeks prior had been a heatwave with temperatures in the 25-30C degree range so he had set off with only a short sleeve shirt with a very light pullover and nothing else. After fishing for an hour or so, the Loch became enveloped in an East Coast haar and the temperature dropped by about 15 degrees with the result he rapidly became very chilled. As the club had car shared on the journey to the Loch he had no option to go home early so was forced to stick it out. At some point he decided a nice hot cup of tea would do wonders for his moral, only to find that out of consideration for the weather at home his wife had filled his flask with chilled orange juice. Since that day I have never gone fishing without warm clothes and waterproofs. All the best and tight lines when you get back on the water. Up here we’ve a few more weeks to go.

Nice vid mate . 100% about the drogue and drifting .. so much more effective than chuck and chance !!

A few more vital additional bits. Eye protection preferably polarised. Sunscreen. Mossie repellent. A drawstring bag for rubbish Everything from food packaging to discarded leader material. You find it take home. Wet wipes, hand gel, micro fibre cloth and hand towel ideally one with a clip like a golf type towel. For wiping kit down and hands after handling fish. Basic first aid kit. To cover minor injuries. Small cuts. Hooks from fingers. Splinter removal. Stings and bites.

I'm enjoying the videos Lindsay, wont be long now before we're all messing about catching trout. Cheers.

Looking forward to it, especially see how the fish have overwintering, could be really big as no one has been out after them,😀

Nobody likes splinters in their arse! LOL! Thanks for the great tips, Lindsay!

Nice one Lindsay. If you get a chance later in the year a video on controlling the boat and steering with a drogue to hold the line of a boat on a drift would be really helpful for us bunch of amateurs. Thanks for the tips. 🎣👏👍

Done 11 hours on the boat yesterday at stenhouse fishery

I'm ready to go fishing with you 🇺🇸

I've been using the same boat net for 12 years and it's not even got a rip in it, Diawa boat net with a screw on head and it's absolutely solid I will be sad to see it go in 20 years as they don't make it anymore.

Is that Sandhurst?
