NEWLYN RESERVOIR Fly Fishing in Winter | Catching Smelting and Rising Brown Trout 

Good video again man, nailing this caper. Appreciate the the effort you're going to. Cheers

Thanks for these videos Tom. I’ve been fishing these very lakes for years now but lately I’ve been experiencing a mysterious ‘trout drought’ which has lasted around two years!! So your videos are giving me some useful pointers and things to try. Keep it coming 👍

Thanks so much Tom. My son and I have fished Newlyn a few times (always in the Spring on a really full lake) without success. Thanks for the encouragement from this video. We`ll give it a go when the level is low in the Winter.

Well done Tom. Keep the videos coming.

Good video Tom; very useful. Instructional and a very true to life video.

"Got him . . . ah, he's off. Gosh!" and "Got him . . . ah, he's off. Gosh!" C'mon Tom, clearly, you're not trying hard enough. You can do better . . . I know you can. Well done mate . . . you are so keen . . . you deserve success. 7X in Newlyn? Ha ha ha!

Awesome again Tom!

Yes tommy!

cool vid bro, enjoyed it. Im from SA but in NZ chasing trout content before i go back lol! enjoyed the watch keep it up

Great videos Tom. Awesome to see fish been caught from these waters that so many of us struggle with in winter. Thanks for the land based version too. I reckon you should jump in the bay and catch some winter flatties😂.. you would nail it!!

ANY ADVICE WOULD HELP TOM, I RECKON I WILL STRUGGLE TO WET A LINE MYSELF HAVING X3 GUYS TO LOOK AFTER WHO HAVE NEVER HANDLED A FLY ROD. DAN

Hi Tom enjoying your winter central vic lakes fishing series. Interested in what rod wgt, fly line, leader combination you use/recommend.

Beautiful video thankyou this reminds us of some waters we have in NSW such as Oberon, Q1; Wet line or dry line with sinking leader/fly? Q2;what sort of depth are you getting down to? Q3; What size are you using line/rod thankyou.

Great video again Tom. Enjoying watching them. Is Moorabool on the to do list?

What flyline are you using?

Hi Tom the 'ol Pedro here. I have a question. Something I have been wondering about for years. I am wondering how effective fly fishing is compared to spinning with lures? Now this is something I would never resort to, I fly fish because I want to learn, but there are some clear advantages. Lure casters outcast us by triple. Plus they cover water faster and they can cast into the wind more effectively. However, flies resemble smelt much more accurately than lures. They move more naturally and I am guessing they spook trout less but I am not sure. So when you are reduced to blind searching, would a lure caster out fish a fly fisherman on these cold winter days?
