www.wheretofish... Funny angling clips and how to tie a March Brown Spider. By Dietrich Bohnhorst. With Ray Robinson. Visit: wheretofishinireland.com Music by Seoirse O Dochartaigh www.seoirseodochartaigh.ie
I enjoy watching you tie your favorites that obviously catch you fish. Reinforces the notion that trout can be alot like "blind squirrels". Keep the faith...
That is it. The flies are tied to catch fish and in the past, before ordering materials on the internet was possible, you used what you could get in local wool shops or haberdasheries etc. All the best and greetings from Donegal.
I've only recently come to the fly, and it seems the March Brown always turns up when English classic flies are discussed. You've done a great job of explaining it, Dietrich - and I, too, appreciate the way you clean the eye after the obligatory "vaahr-nish!" I appreciate your work, sir. Thank you.
"Do we have to get out there? It looks fecking cold and bloody miserable out there." I laughed so hard I had a 5 minute coughing fit. I am now... HOOKED... on your videos (and for that terrible pun, you are allowed to throttle me with piano wire.)
The Derg river outside Pettigo ,, some fantastic lakes in that general area if you know where to look , quite a trek to get access to them though , local knowledge required 😊
March Brown spider is usually plover or snipe upper wing covert tail, yellow silk or gold rib with hare’s ear dubbing, brown partridge hackle (not palmered) - but you fly was still nice :)
+Rob P Wetting hands? this is Ireland, it's always raining and your hands are always wet? Is a landing net really that great for landing rather smallish trout?

My Old Master, Mr. Edwin Dixon, used only four patterns for all his fly fishing. The Black Widow and the Teal, Blue and Silver for sea trout/salmon, the Invicta and Bibio for trout. I'm uswing a few more patterns to fish more or less the same waters than he did. But I think it is a good concept to keep the number of different patterns to a generous minimum. It prevents confusion.
