Flyfishing in London (an urban chalk stream) 

I moved away from London 30+ years ago but I used to fly fish the Roding, Coppermill Stream and the Old River Lea.

Top man Tim great vid.😊

Really enjoyed that. Great style and liked the analysis too. Looking forward to future instalments!

Great video. Nice to see there's life in some of those urban streams.

Very cool fishing! You stalk like a heron, this really illustrates the expression "urban jungle". Unique style, presentation and production!

Great video mate💪🎣 London holds some good fishing spots hidden from the city life 🎣👌

That fibreglass rod has a nice action. Tasty little bit of fishing too.

A really good watch. Looking forward to more videos from you.

Lovely job.Keep the way i am looking forward.thanks.

Great video! Thank you guys!

True spirit of fly fishing,good for you!

Brilliant fellas keep em coming

Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed.

Very well done ,keep them coming.

What a great video. Well done chaps.

Really nice, Tim! I really enjoyed that! That juxtaposition and contrast of you, an angler, in those very urban areas is properly cool. I'll look forward to more... 👍🏼

First video I ever watched showing a glimpse into the london fly fishing scene and it popped up again today 😂🔥

Great video👍🏻

Nice one. Love the fact that you can now catch fish again in the city.. We used to make our own flies and use a technique called ‘dapping’ We would stand on bridges and let the breeze take the silk And adjust the trajectory just by raising or lowering the rod tip. this would allow the flies to touch the water. In a very natural way. It’s an unusual and exciting way to catch any fish that will take a fly

Great work!

Well done Tim, great video. You actually showed me the Wandle on my first ever trip there just under a year ago. Managed a few sessions after that, but still looking for my first Wandle trout - they are spooky! Caught dace, chub and roach though.

Awesome content Sir... I work down London and this makes me want to pack my #3 and have a go...superb edit too. Kudos to you both

Very nice, I'm just getting into fly fishing myself, looking forward to more from this channel 👍I'll give this a share on the London Angling Community 🎣

Great video !

Nice fishing, good filming and cool music well done. 👏👏👏

Nice one Tim....

The overcrowded South. Lived in and loved London 80s. Would not be there if ye paid me now.

Great share of your game Tim!

Not a bad day of fun

You couldn't any more different contrast to my fishing in the Welsh Upland Llyns, but our quarry is the same, wild Brown trout, enjoyed your video.

I like the style and the edit of the video Tim. Keep it comming!

I really enjoy this urban fishing videos

Nice !

Nicley done Sir !

Rock on urban at it's best....

wonderful video, very impressed with what you have to put up with to achieve your passion. Would love to go fishing sometime preferably to a big water for me but would be happy to tag along anywhere

Great work Tim ! And for your first editing ? Have not stopped smiling at your low vis stalking shorts and what fly did you use to hook the enormous dogs ? Lol ! Overall brilliant and I’m really looking forward to more when you get the chance

Nice to see someone still making use of a fibre glass fly rod. There's nothing wrong with them in shorter lengths like 7' or 7'6". Light but robust. And some people would pay £50 or more for a day's fly fishing only to have less sport than you managed on that stretch there.

Man is a very cool video! It was interesting to see the places where you fish :) I'm waiting for new videos, keep shooting! This year, I also want to continue shooting videos and uploading them to RU-vid. I have been fishing with fly fishing since last year, before that I only fished with a spinning rod and shot a little video. Now I will shoot a video about fly fishing :) Thanks for the video!

Nice fish! Quality video no way was your camera man getting his feet wet that day! 😁👊🏽

Nice video, fished the river several times but hadn’t given that straight canal like stretch a second glance after my first visit and got a nose full of the sewage smell!

Cool!

Should try the river ravensbourne in Lewisham by the hospital very good Chub up to 5/6lb

Cool

Great video! Can someone please suggest where I might have the best luck, trying to catch a couple trout in the river Wandle? I have been fishing for the last 16 years, but have not been able to catch a wild trout, and hoping to achieve this life long dream. Any angling tips or tricks would be much appreciated.

bit further downstream its full of carp put in by the local anglers.

Love the set up was megga bucks ??

Cool video what line are you using?

Looks like the wandle river ?

Nice one Tim! long time no see!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥💥💥💥🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

Wandle?

Unusual cast. The rod is not normally allowed to go behind the shoulder, and then knocked forwards about 45° to flick the weighted fly line out. Whilst it can be cast enormous distance it is more about accuracy, and should be effortless. Draw the line up but stop the rod and let the line pass behind, when you feel the weight of the line knock forwards but stop to let the rod spring the line out, lower the tip to lay the line onto the water and the fly where you want it.

How much crak did you sell to get your rod 😂
