Lake District Fly Fishing - DREAM FISH from Otter Tarn 

I will thanks for watching mate!

Thanks David! It's definitely on my agenda 👍

Absolutely. It’s some fight. ‘Rhys Fishes’ done a video of him catching pile on a fly with fly gear. Awesome sport

Thanks for the advice mate! I always go one too far and end up ruining the cast. Definitely need to learn!

It's a lovely place! Not sure how i'd recognise Harry and James but i'll bear it in mind when i'm next there!

@@adventurefishinguk Scouse Harry by any chance?

Thanks mate! Aye the fish in there are very good condition 👍

Makes sense, thanks a lot for the advice mate. I’ll bear it in mind and try work on it when I’m next out fishing 👍

Thanks Victor I appreciate that!

Thanks mate! Yeah that's definitely something i've got to work on, a few people have said that. I appreciate the advice!

Thanks mate, i'm a sucker for a red montana too 👍

I’m starting to build a bit of a love for it, having a go for carp with bread flies really appeals to me. Not sure there’s anywhere in my area that allows it though unfortunately!

@@adventurefishinguk George i meant to say stick with what your doing casting was fine it will get better with time was you using floating flies,well fished George nice fish well done,

@@delwigzieful thanks mate and yeah I used floating lines, went after some wild trout too the other day and accidentally used a sinking line or at least a sink tip but it seemed to work well

Thanks mate!

You should mate it's a great place to try 👍

I fish everywhere mate all over! Interesting idea with the roadkill, I can see that working really well actually. Not sure I’d have the stomach for it though or know a suitable place to try it 😂 lures more my sort of thing in general!

Thanks James, glad you liked the video!

Thanks mate, new you'd like this one!

thanks mate! I've been told the same by a few people, it's definitely helped!

Thanks for watching mate glad you like the videos! That sounds like a tough day, maybe will see you out one time!

This is a stocked lake mate so all the wild trout have probably been out competed for food. There might be a couple left though!

@@adventurefishinguk yeah I know!! It’s a shame really.

They're a beautiful fish mate! I would really love to catch a brook trout over in the USA one day, a real bucket list thing for me!

It's a new one on me aswell, I call silver rainbow trout Steel heads when I'm trying to explain theirs a difference as ones just silver and the other has pink sides.

I watched a fly fishing program in the rockies and their were some huge rainbow trout in this crystal clear blue mountain lake but I felt really bad for these guys cuz one had a cold bit wasn't missing the trip and cuz they were out there 5 days his m8 caught the cold aswell but the worst thing for them was the altitude going from 2,000 feet to 8,000 feet making their colds seem awful I imagine, anyway they fished a stream on the way back down and caught either green back cut throat trout or green back Brook trout, either way they were thought to be extinct but thankfully someone found a pocket of them and they've been bred and reintroduced to other rivers they once called home. This is one reason I love fishing programs like that one and this is because you explain what you're doing every episode and I always get a bit of new information, I always tell a m8 who I'm teaching to fish that it's a constant learning curve with new methods coming out all the time and when I started fishing I only had John Wilson on a Sunday night for my education and my grandad cuz their way nowhere near an Internet in 85 when my grandad Started teaching me god rest him, he was a great man taught me alot and my dad said him looking after me in summer holidays was the highlight of the year cuz he'd take me foraging fishing walking etc only dad we didn't go out was in pissin rain. Are you see taught or were you lucky enough to have a friend or relative who educated you?

Thanks mate I’m glad you enjoyed it, and I’ll definitely be doing more in the future. Headed to the river after my first wild trout on the fly the other day so you’ve got that video to look forward to! Not going to pretend I know what straight line buzzer fishing is 😂 was a great take though! I have a couple of those worms in my box, not had a go with them yet though. I do love a Montana! Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍

@@adventurefishinguk straight line buzzer fishing is using 2 or 3 small flys, on a floating line, letting them drift in the wind. A buzzer is an imitation of a stage of the fly before it hatches. It’s barely even a fly. It’s a hook with cotton round it basically. Buy yourself some, you’ll love it. You watch the top of the floating line as if it were and indicator and it is shoots off and straightens, a fish has hit the buzzer. Some of the takes are brutal. It’s such good fun. Check out MD fly fishing vids or Rhys Fishes and he teaches you how to do it. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@@CBCB78 I’ll have a look into it thanks mate!

Thanks mate I appreciate that! I’m pretty clueless too but enjoying learning 🎣

Thanks for the advice!

Lovely place isn't it! Thanks for watching and subscribing mate, you'll have to let me know what you think of a few of the other videos if you get chance to watch👍🎣

Thanks mate!

Horrible to hear about all the litter, it's disgusting people treat nature like that. And yes the spartic trout are really cool, a none native cross between a brook trout and an arctic char I believe. Not wild but still a really cool fish to catch!

Really nice isn't it! Thanks for subscribing Graeme it's much appreciated!

Thanks mate! Very good condition in there

Absolutely will be mate had a cracking day!

Thanks mate!

Will be even better mate!

Thanks mate!

@@adventurefishinguk welcome buddy, is that lake where the rare breed cows are and the posh holiday lodges?

@@Craigsoutdooradventures couldn’t tell you, I did notice a few fancy looking holiday places there but not sure on the cows 🐄

Good point, thanks for the tip mate!

Thanks mate! Not sure on the length of the rod but yeah that’s the one with the reel. This is just a prototype model, the proper one will be for sale soon!

Hi Allan, using 8lb Drennan sub surface leader at the moment. 0.28mm I believe! I’ve been told this is on the heavy side, but better to be too heavy than too light when I’m learning!

Hi thanks for the reply.. I think the leader/ tippet material your using is a monofilament line at about £5 a 50m spool .. I only use fluorocarbon line these days it sinks quickly and is very durable, if you go for a brand like airflo g3 sight free an 8lb line is only .21mm significantly thinner and will improve catch rate. The downside is that is costs nearly 3x the price (I'm not sponsored by airflo) Wychwood also do a good fluorocarbon but there is a big choice out there.. all that said you seem to be doing pretty well without my advice. Maybe it's the green colour of your line. Enjoy your fly-fishing

@@allan8515 I’ll have a look into it thanks mate I think I have an 18 pound Fluor leader somewhere that’s airflo too

Thanks mate glad you liked it. The fish is a stocked spartic trout, a genetic cross between arctic charr and brook trout 👍

Of course, I meant your elbow stays at a fixed point on the forward flycast so you don't push the rod forward (that wastes power).

Thanks for the advice mate! I’ve got a lot to learn with fly fishing still and I appreciate the input. I’ll try do that when I next go out!

@@adventurefishinguk You will be an expert soon enough.

Had most of them on a small white beaded nymph if I remember correctly

Why did you not show your white beaded nymph in your video ? And or why didnt you take photos of the nymphs and flies so that it helps us all if we go flyfishing at the Lake District one day !! Thank you kindly.

It’s a really nice lake yeah, you can take the rainbow trout up to 5lb I believe. Not fished coniston ever I don’t think!

Up to 3.5lb now its changed 2 a week

@@jans4637 Thanks

It’s a lovely place, I think you can get a day ticket but they’re expensive. Around £25 if I remember correctly, but that does include taking up to 2 trout below a certain size (maybe 5lb?) you’d have to check the WADAA website though!

I fished another WADAA resevoir (Ghyll Head) on a day ticket a few times a few years ago. Georgeous locations they have. I stopped going when the dy tickets went up to £20! I may join the club at some point as the fishing locations are fab !

This was filmed in early April mate 👍

A variety of flies including orange fritz, white beaded nymph and green montana

I'm the wrong person to ask! Did you catch?

@@adventurefishinguk Sadly not me and my dad when out we are begginners to fly fishing and could cast fat enough

Glad you enjoyed the video Darren! I’ll be more careful in the future 👍

I know 👍
