Keep rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep ‘em dogies rollin'
Rawhide!
Through rain and wind and weather
Hell-bent for leather
Wishing my gal was by my side
A song from a 50s & 60s TV series that will be familiar to older viewers. I could not get it out of my head today. What started as a nice day’s fly fishing ended with an ever growing heard of cows bellowing, stampeding, destroying the river banks and defecating in the water. I didn’t film the worst of it.
The fishing prior to this was actually quite enjoyable with a few small fish taken.

A glorious sunny day for a cast! Thanks for bringing us along!

@wildfisher 2 года назад

A day for earplugs with those pesky cows bellowing non-stop. 😁

At least there wasn't a "cow 61" to eat your net and pester you Fred. It's good to see you getting some end of season action on the local.

@wildfisher 2 года назад

I still have nightmares about cow 61 Alex. 😂

Haha love the title …cattle are such curious creatures …young ones will follow you like a pet dog and ruin everything …but it’s when they lick the paintwork on your car is when they test your patience 😁😁👍

I'll have to remember that next time my car needs a wash! 😁

River looks in fine fettle Fred, nice to see such glorious countryside and some nice brownies. Glad to see its not just me who struggles to hook those slashing rises.

@wildfisher 2 года назад

Yeah the slashing rises can be frustrating. Moving down a hook size can help but one of the flies was already a 16, so who knows. 😐

“Rawhide”! That takes me back 😊

I could not get the tune out of my head! The show featured a very young Clint Eastwood as I remember! 😊

@@wildfisher Clint Eastwood played Rowdy Yates, circa early 60’s. I was a big fan at the time.

Fred I'm glad to see the rains have your water flowing again- As for the cattle, a nice steak for dinner would have been proper. 😁

@wildfisher 2 года назад

Yeah it was good to get some rain although it's pretty low again now. 😊

@caorach3354 Год назад

Late to the party Fred but I got to watch it last night and, as ever, enjoyed it. I hate cattle :-) Actually the truth is I'm frightened of them. You did well to get, really, a lot of action and the river was looking lovely in the Autumn light and with what appears to be decent water in it. Despite the cattle it looked like a fantastic Autumn day out and that's what matters.

@wildfisher Год назад

Thanks Philip. Never got out on the closing day yet again, the weather was impossible. Not the best season for sure, here's hoping for 2023. As far as the cattle go I'll try to eat more of them and see if that reduces the numbers. 😅

@oldsmugglerflyfishing 2 года назад

Great video and footage.

@wildfisher 2 года назад

Thanks glad you enjoyed it. Just the ramblings of an old man. 😊

@chrismatthewsflyfishing7724 2 года назад

We also have some stretches that suffer with "bovine blight" Fred. You can be fishing away quite happily and then the water just colours up and the fishing becomes a waste of time. Apparently they defecate 5 x more when standing in the water. I'm not sure how accurate that figure is but once is bad enough!

@wildfisher 2 года назад

Yesterday I saw a few of them standing in the water , front end grazing the bank while simultaneously crapping out the other end right into the river. We are lucky that most of the river is agricultural rather than pastoral. I can only think of three fields with livestock but the damage they do is astonishing. Yesterday's herd seems to get bigger every year. ☹
