Great to see you back on air my friend. Myself and Micheal look forward to enjoying all your posts! Ps. I hope you treated your lovely wife to a special Christmas.
Yes its true. I live for my weekends away fishing. I learnt when I was a young lad to never depend on anybody so I enjoy my own company. Thanks for the great comment. Much appreciated.
@@BlackCountryPiker season starts 17th of January in kerry weather permitting I will be back at it soon once the beast from the east doesn't show up. LOL
Hi Vincent... great to see you back preparing for the new season. Best wishes for the new year to yourself and your generous wife. Here's to the big one & the coming season
A big one would be great. Best laid plans. Hopefully we will have a great summer this year like last year. Up camping in those mountains a fish is a bonus.
Hi Vincent, one of the best things of fishermen life is to get ready for a new fishing season ! Great flies ...they are a piece of art indeed Enjoyable video and guitar sound . Tight lines !
Talented fisherman, talented musician, talented at fly tying, definitely can put a great video together. You should remind your wife how lucky she is. Great job Vincent, really do enjoy your channel Digging that metallica🤘🤘
Hey Hey ! Hi Vincent YOUR BACK, Never mind the Jameson's you have lifted my Spirits. Hoping to get out there tomorrow or Tues, i had the Flu since Christmas so 9 days in bed was Hell. Yes indeed when your Wife is finished with that Coat you could indeed make use of it, or cut it down and just tell her that you have bought her a Summer Coat Half Length. Ha Ha. Cheers Vincent, Stevie in Scotland.
Hi Stevie sorry to hear you were sick for so long thats terrible. I had the flu jab so I'm hopefully untoutchable. Theres a lot of sickness going around I'd say its over the mild winter. You need a good frost to kill the bugs and the rats especially the two legged ones you work with. LOL. Hope you back to full health asap.😷
Hi Vincent !! wonderful video. The trout season opens in about a month I am also arranging the equipment and building new artificial ones. Greetings !! see you soon !!
Watch this space. Im like a greyhound waiting for the trap door to open. Not long now. Thanks for your very encouraging comment. Means a lot. Makes it all worth while.
"You don't need patience to do something that you love." - I absolutely AGREE! I adore your channel Vincent! A #nosmallcreator friend named Bob Alexander introduced your channel to me. I watched just one video and I'm ready to subscribe. I love how you tell the story. I love your voiceover ... so glad to have met you!!! (PS - I'm not into fishing either, but I love watching this movie nonetheless.) :)
@@Vincentdonnelly5158 - I'm sooooo pleased to have discovered your channel, Vincent. Have I told you yet that your guitar skill is just so lovely? Can't wait to watch more of your movies.
@@sarahdippity Hi. The weather in Ireland is snowy and icy not good for camping up in the mountains where its colder again. So hopefully I will be back where I belong up frying eggs in the mountains. LOL
Haha Vincent, you have one of the best channels in the game. Using the wife’s fur coat to make flies might not be the best move! I need to break out some Jameson and the old fly tying kit as well!
You know after all these years.. I'm still rewatching all these vids Vincent... I just love it... I've a bunch of fishy pics I'll post to my page. Sadly no fishy vids.. But I'll show everyone nonetheless Your vids really do perk me up.. Especially during these covid times... Thank you mate.. Thank you for being you.. And your wife.. She's an absolute 💎
Wow thanks a million for your lovely comment. Cheers. Some times I be wondering are they worth putting up. Then a comment like yours gives me confidence to do more so thanks Ross 😊
Lovely video Vincent, if that doesn’t whet the appetite to see you out again on the Loughs of Ireland catching hungry slurping Wild Brown Trout, nothing will! You always make me laugh and excited about your next video! Roll on trout season!
You know you've got a keeper when your girl buys you a jungle cock cape for Christmas and collects your licences! Key to a happy life is a spouse that understands and puts up with our fishing! Nice to see I share the same whip finishing technique to stick your loop on your fly line! The spin finish! I'm going to have to get cracking with some flies. I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel! 6 of each pattern. 2 to use, 2 to lose and 2 to give to thieving friends! Yes, it's getting exciting now. Pretty mild winter as well. I've said it now haven't I?!!
Hi brother, great video!! I luv your channel. Very interesting to watch fly fishing. Especially the creative aspect of making your own files.. .I've never tried .. respect to you sir. 💯💚🇦🇺🤘 (Jamieson is a nice blend😉👌)
Everything is easy when you know how. Have to say catching a fish on your own fly is brilliant. You can set yourself up with the gear really cheap and will have hour weeks months years of fun. Im tying them since I was about 17 and I still love tying them. Thanks for the great comment.
Hello Vincent from Canada... I thought we were going to meet your wife from the title lol but she sounds lovely... cheers mate love that Canadian beer!
LOL. My wife is shy. Very shy. You get a glimpse of her in "dont bite the hand that feeds you" one of my videos. Thanks for watching. She pops up every now and then.
What were those things you put into the bird feeders? They really seem to like them! Fade to black, nice song choice mate, one of my favorites. Watching you tie those flies is a thing of beauty, you are a more patient man than I. I guess your hair decided to fade to grey LOL! How long until you're out on the lake again mate? I can't wait
Hi. Thanks for the lovely comment. The season starts in Kerry on the 17th of January. So after that if the weather is mild I will be back at it. Last year I was ready to go and the beast from the east arrived in Ireland and that was it I was grounded by the heavy snow. Fingures crossed. I will be back making my fry sitting on the lake bank. LOL
@@garywilliamsandmitsy hopefully I will be babk at it again very son the weathers finally improving. Its been the wettest spring on record. Floods storms sleet and ice and I'm getting to old to venture out camping in that kind of weather either I'm getting to old or I'm getting wise🤔😀😁😂😃😄😅😆😉 thanks so much for your great comment. Thanks for watching.
@@Vincentdonnelly5158 your very welcome. I film as often as possible . My father died almost twelve months ago and we discussed in length staying positive and agreed after he went that I would throw all my efforts into making films. I work very hard and at ti.es it get a bit lonely. Your films cheer me up lots and recently I've changed my filming format to show having fun fishing is a tonic . I've even started to pick my guitar up again after a ten year break. Thanks alot for the inspiration. 1😊
@@Vincentdonnelly5158 so sorry for your the loss of your mam. Stay strong vincent. Happy thoughts always. Honest if you ever need help a chat dont hesitate too ask. Seen alot of bad and good. Good always wins and a laugh always helps. 😉
LOL. I was fly fishing out on the lough years ago when I used to smoke. I took the last pull of my cigarette and flicked it into the lake. It was a very blustery day and I didn't notice the wind caught the cigarette and tossed it back into the boat where against all the odds rolled around the boat missing the wet bits and nestled up next to the losse coils of my beautiful fly line and burned clean through. My next cast the line shot out into the lake leaving the rod. I was shocked and soon realised what had happened. LOL.
@@Vincentdonnelly5158 Jesus that is unfortunate Vince funny though lol i recently bought a really expensive reel from japan and i was out fishing for Bass. i caught plenty of good 4lbs 5lbs 6lbs and even a 71cm 8 and a half pound Bass but when unhooking a little tiny school Bass he fliped around and somehow out of all the places he got sand into the line roller and wreacked the whole thing now it's like a grinder sur what can you do but laugh, take care of yourself Vince and tight lines man 👍
Happy New Year pal!!!! Hope we get that day out together this year !! Double Taper WT5..... ya dry fly purist ya lol!!!! Looking forward to another year of laughs!
Please God. I'd prefare a beautiful warm dry day, a sleep on the bank, while sunbathing, a swim, a fry, a beer, a jameson, finished of with a fire and catch one small trout thank catch ten salmon on a cold wet miserable weekend. Thats what I've become over the years I think I've been there done that and the fishing is deteriorating every year.
Hope we get a nice season ahead.... wishing for great ones is a thing of the past Vince...… Ive the frying pan in the hut with all the kit for ya so no excuses ok... come up to the fishing show next month in Dublin and I will fill ya in there!!! Be good lad!
Good mornin Vince, I know what you mean, Now I can't go anywhere without glasses.That is one sweet looking fly you tied, Lol Don't do it, Don't do it! Ahh she'll never know... Cheers!
Thank God for glasses. I used have unbelievable eyesight I could find the needle in the hay stack in seconds now I cant find the hay stacks LOL. Thanks for the great comment made me laugh.
Thanks very much for the great comment. Kerry a beautiful spot. Heaven on earth. Will be starting my videos very very soon. Weathers improving day by day.😉
I think I will have to make a hundred of them. Believe it or not I keep running into my subscribers in the most unusual places and lots of them be looking for a big mad fly. At the end of last season I had a few in my box. They all went to new homes. LOL. The price of fame.
Hi Chris. Still alive. Im off at the weekend Saturday Sunday and Monday the weather has been beautiful all week but the forecast is very bad for the weekend. Of course. Murphys law. Would drive you to drink. Just waiting to get away asap. Hope your well and happy.
Beast from the East, pest from the west, numpty from the north or sod from the south. We’ll be getting something. Vincent how in the blazes did you get that leader ring onto the end of the braided leader? Best regards Andrew
Braided loops are much easier,ah the modern world. Do you know you can get a phone that fits in your pocket these days and no wires, that's a fact my grandson told me so.
Better than con artist LOL a jack of all trades but a master of none. Ha ha its all a bit of fun and that goes for life as well. Thanks my man for watching. Ive learnt a lot from your channel and looking forward to more of your uploads. Thanks.
