Fly Fishing One Of The Best Trout Lakes In The UK 

Perfect vid love the fact your taking the time to explain what you are doing and not just showing footage of you hauling them out . Thanks Rhys 👍🏻

Superb video. Going out tomorrow will be trying out the cormorants. Been fishing for 45 years for everything with fins recently took up stillwater trout due to ill health. These vids give me the same feeling i got as a kid reading the angling times and then all excited to try things out. Amazing really to get that buzz still. You have a way of presenting things that really engages the person watching Thanks mate.

Great to see you out fishing again we could see the excitement on you face at start of video thankfully in northern ireland i have been able to fish all lockdown but great to see you out again

Another great video Rhys, I was intending to fish similar style on Friday but having never fishing washing line on intermediate or straight line buzzer fishing this video is so well timed!

Nice one Rhys, Love seeing you back on the water. Its great showing the straight line buzzer. I think so many are switching to hanging them under the bung, which is fine, but are really loosing out on so much. Take care mate. Shaun.

Lucky you Rhys, can wait to get back at it. Enjoy.

Excellent video Rhys, so well filmed and put together like all of your videos.

Hi, Great that we can fish again and another cracking video. I was at Garnffrwd on Tuesday and had 8 rainbows to 4lb and a spartic a bit bigger - all on shuttlecocks and suspender buzzers. A terrific day, hopefully there'll be more to come.

Great video as always! Learning so much from them, so thanks.

Another great video Rhys! Thanks 😎🎣👍

Hey rhys you make it look so easy keep them comming

Always learn something from your vids, keep up the great content pal!

Class as always Rhys!

Great video again! Was just thinking off changing tactics from lures and bung to a more natural approach and boom! You come out with this video. Fantastic

Really enjoyed that mate, well done! Makes us want to hit the local stillwater!

Excellent video, that place looks like fishing heaven.

Love these so unique very informative

Really enjoyable video to watch, loved it!

A truly beautiful setting my friend.We in Alberta Canada have a similar lake called Boulder reservoir .It is stalked every year with great fishing. The lake was a creation of a company who purchased the rock quarry and out of their own pocket created this reservoir for all Albertans to enjoy. They are sticking to a no camping /day use only and I think that's wonderful.We need more day use areas in Alberta. Thank you for showing your perfect little spot.

Class as always 👌🏻

Really informative video this mate, I've been fishing trout since I was around 13 years old, 28 now. Never tried to fish buzzers before only ever lures, I'm going to give this a try on the weekend!

Great video yet again... great advice also.. stay safe ...R....

Great vid Rhys, I'm learning lots 🖒🖒🖒

I always enjoy your videos.

Not jealous, no not at all....lol. Nice one buddy.

l enjoy these videos Rhys as l always pick up a new technique or two.

Keep the vids coming!!

Great video mate!

Loved the video mate and Subscribed

YESSSWWW. I loved ur story btw

Cracking video Rhys

Great video!

Soo looking forward to going to clywedog!

Quality video Rhys will need to try buzzers at my local just used to using lures

nice video again mate .glad you can fish we still have 2 weeks to go lol.

Great video mate

Looking forward to getting down to support Jamie! Not really sure if we are allowed to travel that distance yet!? Nice Fishing 😁

Great video mate, I’ve been seriously missing this place, unfortunately, it’s not really ‘local’ for me at the moment, so I’ll have to wait a little while longer. Never mind, Clywedog opens this weekend, and that is local! 😃

Great videos ryhs.👍

Hi Rhys, great vids mate. Learning a lot from them. Could you do a vid on your opinions, uses and brands etc of the tippet you use. Also fluoro vs copolymer. When and where to use each one and the benefit of using one or the other

It’s about the 4th time I’ve watched this video for tips. I batter it’s under an indicator, washing line, pulling lures, I’m yet to master straight line buzzers. It’ll come. Nice one Rhys! 👍🏻

Super, thanks, ;-)

cool video!

Nice video Buddy... AP

Great video. Subscribed.

Nice video! Subscribed

Great video mate, was wondering if u could do a video on casting techniques for turning over long buzzer leaders and casting into the wind ? Really struggling with both at the moment.

cracking video. Hoping to get down to Garn in the next few weeks. I fish dries predominantly, any tips on leader set up and dry fly

thanks for the video. I have found your insights helpful for still water. I do have to say that what I can only describe as a "fishing park" is quite foreign to us anglers out here in the PNW (Washington State, USA)

Another great video rhys👍how to you find the vision stillmaniac rods mate ?

Had 11 today in 5hrs - Fish were chocked full of buzzers!

Great Video Rhys, just like your others, is there any chance of actually showing your fly set up on the line before you start fishing, you explain it pretty well but a look at the leader and dropper fly set up would be great. Thanks

Excellent video. Nicely explained and demonstrated. What tippet material do you favour for this type of fishing?

Always learning from your vids young man what tippet would you recommend (make)

Crikey Rhys that green line shoots well, fairplay. Do you mind telling me what set up you're using, line wise, I saw the rod detail. Thanks for the upload. Really looking forward to visiting that place.

Hi Rhys I love your videos I seen you down your local lake Sunday before I subscribed I assumed you was doing RU-vid vids, I’m going to bigwell Sunday what fly and technique would you recommend please mate

Great video mate, is the KJ Corm the same one as the Fulling Mill website ( KJ Mirage form) cheers 👍

Class vid mate! What set up do you use for straight line buzzers? 5ft 5ft 5ft?

What makes this place 'one of the best trout lakes in UK', that's a big statement to make...

Great video mate. What floating line you using on this video?

Great stuff. With the small "strips" you're making with the buzzers is it really just to compensate for wind drift and keep fishing to a tight line as opposed to actually moving the fly?

HI Rhys, Love the videos mate, outstanding. Would you recommend a 7 weight over 5, 6 for droppers / washing line. Ive tried droppers with my 5 weight and struggles a bit. Apart from lure fishing is a 7 weight still good for spring / summer fishing? Thanks

Yes you are a skilled and talented angler. It is your love of the sport that shines throughout all of your vlogs. To the guys who fish a handful of times a season same fishery same fly same method. Every year. Complaining that. Oh if fished several times a week at loads of different venues then I would be just as good! NO! If they still only use the same method fly ect in only perfect conditions. They do not learn or change. Then nothing changes. You properly prepare and plan your day. Every second on the water is a learning curve. Read the conditions. Learn and hone the skills. Concentrate and adapting to changing conditions. Water temperature relative air temperature wind speed light conditions what food sources are how where and what are the fish doing are you simulating a food item or provoking an attack/ territorial response? Are you on or by the water for a pleasant day out. No interest is competing. To the last part I call BS every moment you are actively fishing. If not involved in a match as a individual or team member. Then you are competing against the fish. More importantly in the long run you should be competing against yourself. Maintaining and improving on your skill and knowledge base. You shine a light onto the path that actually helps us all. No matter what is the stage of our experience. Please just keep up the quality of your channel. Every positive step is a poke in the eye of the anti angling groups.

Bought a 9ft salmon spinning rod and reel combo can you recommend any particular spinners and tips please my Friend??

👍

😎👍💯

Can you make a video on sink tip lines ?

It would be good to show us the length of droppers and in what order you tied them on ,we can see the fish you caught just more info would be good

what's your dry fly set up

You were using cassette reels Rhys? Which ones? I bought a Greys Fin cassette reel recently, large arbour but narrow drum! It’s ok, but I’m not convinced the narrow drum is the optimal design? Cheers, Jonathan

Hey rhys how do you deside when you use midge tip or intermediate, or sink tip?

As a rule I don't like these put-and-take places but that made it interesting-fair play

What dry did you catch on?

How's the vision stillmaniac 9.9 Rhys to fish with pal I'm looking similar set up fir drys what line do you recommend cheers

Been a course fisherman for years but I've moved up to Northumberland and today bought a beautiful And my first fly fishing rod and reel combo I'm buzzing I've got line that sinks what flys would you say I need as a must for any fly fisherman in thier fly box?

Hi, what rod weight would you recommend for Stillwater fly fishing, I was thing maybe a 7/8 weight but I’m not really sure.

Hey buddie could you make a video of the 5 best trout fishery’s of the U.K.? Where is the bigger trout in England at?? 💪💪💪💪

Hiya Rhys hope all is well. Just a quick question how long was your leader line ?

Hi Rhys, sorry didn’t know what other way to contact, been fishing on an intermediate line since I started and love it, however I get to point in the day where the fish just turn off, so assumed I needed another line, should have asked someone but I impatiently dived straight in and bought a snowbee 6” sink tip to get the flies down deeper, was this a good choice? Or what would you recommend? If you could give me some info on what fly to try on that line, leader length etc it would be much appreciated. Keep up the great work and look forward to the next vid 👍🏼

Hi Rhys can you tell me if you use tapered fly leaders with 8lb tippet or just 8lb line straight from the fly line or braided loop? Thank you

Do you use a 7-9 reel for your 6wt set up.

Afternoon Rhys, asked you a question about shrimps and how best to fish them, after a visit to the still water the fish are holding about 2/3ft in the water. Any suggestions how best to fish them? Straight nymphing or washing line on a midge tip, any advice would be grateful received

Hi Rhys, I was fishing buzzers today and the fish were often hitting the buzzer on the dropper.I was using a 3 turn water knot and hade sure I pulled the knot tight with deliver on it.Every time a fish took it it would pull the dropper off often taking the rest of the leader with it.(I was using Airflo g3 7lb) what could I do to stop this happening?

Hi do you recommend a place to bye nymphs and wet fly’s from thanks

Hi rhys, I have a question. So currently I fish a 6/7wt fly rod with WF7 line. I use mostly jsut wet flies but sometimes like to fish lures. I’m wanting a new fly rod and most rods are either 6wt or 7 wt not both 6/7wt rating. I was wondering if getting a 6wt will still cast lures like yellow dancer , and other bead head lures and cat whiskers fine? Also what is the vision still maniac like overall? Thanks mate

On the comorant set up... is the fab on the point??

Hi Rhys...when fishing a team of 3 buzzers the end my floating line keeps sinking and ends up as a sink tip!!...should this be happening or is there a cause or solution for this (mucilin etc)? Would like to sort as like fishing various methods but if there isn’t bung it is!!😂😂👍

What leader are you using with the buzzers, breaking strain and make ?

Have you caught on the fluff cat

Учусь, покажите приемы работы с разными материалами для мушек .🇰🇿🖐💪👨‍💻🙋‍♂️

you didn't show us the buzzer your using.please do next time . thanx.

Duncton mill fishery

You look like elvis 🤣

Hi Rhys, I thought you used the Agility 2 rods? Question: would you go to a 5wt for nymphs / buzzers if they were up in the water? Would it be the same answer for both small waters and reservoir from a boat

Love the tutorials, but nothing like the real thing...

Do you have to go to a trout fishery? why not just go down to a natural river or lake somewhere?

I wouldn’t enjoy fishing this water, too artificial! It doesn’t make a difference if the fish are a pound or ten pounds, they are just stickies.
