Just started fishing for Grayling on the Calder around the Brighouse stretches using a centre pin for the first time. Really helpful and good clear instructions, hopefully they will help me catch my first Grayling once the river levels are more favourable.
Lovely stretch of river, Richard, reminds me of the Hodder. Excellent standard of angling, next to fly fishing, trotting on a fast river is my favourite sport, especially on those crisp winter days when the water clears. Good luck with your channel, just subscribed
I enjoyed this very basic, though wonderfully informative video and hope you can make some more sir. I have a number of centerpin reels, a Shakespeare swing, or twist thing, which supposedly aids casting, and a couple of others which do the same thing: I've never used them, just had to have them: Hey ho. I also have a really nice vintage Speedia that I just had to have, and didn't actually know how to use, as if I'm river fishing. a fixed-spool seems to work best. However, I can see through your video that the pleasure of fishing with a centerpin reel and the artistry involved could far out way the commonplace experience of river fishing. Thank you sir, you educated and inspired me. Raymondo
Many thanks for all the lovely comments they are appreciated. I will be demonstrating the Wallis cast at the Prince Albert open day on the 12th June at Ribchester. It's a great day out and free. I will have a chat with my cameraman and do some other clips😁
May I put in a request? Would you Make a video of you fishing the river Hyndburn near the Dunkenhalgh end pls? There's now a migratory fish ladder at the old paper mill section!
