Just started watching the channel love it just started fly fishing but had a red setter for past 5 years working her dad was from top stock in Ireland just wanted to say thank you very much and really learn something every time I view
Hi there,great to see not a mile of tying silk at start of the fly cut of and wasted,tight Scotsman eh ha ha ha . Your vids are most enjoyable and a treat to watch,more please and cheers the noo .
Brilliant George . What’s impressed me most is that 9’ no3 . This video really shows the delicate presentation. The run was flat calm so presentation was vital . Great video and of course fly 🇮🇪👌 Aná Mhaith , Slán go fól 🇮🇪🇮🇪
Hi Man, this is right on the money, your sparkle dun is great a real winner. I have been watching some " fly " tying and fishing videos from across the pond. It's not just Texas that's big, some of their flies are like the head of a yard brush. Even the lure chuckers in the put and take call the lures flies. Bloody hell some birds are flying around with less feathers on their Butt. Keep her lit and stay safe .Reg
Brilliant session! Those Irish limestone streams must rank alongside the Itchen and Test in England, superb quality of fish and fly hatches. Half a dozen of those could have been my fish of the season on the stream I fish! 👍
Hi George, great stuff again. I heard you say you put floatant on the leader to within 2 feet of the fly. Would you put fullers earth or some kind of mud on the last 2 feet. What kind of tippet do you use.P'S that fly is letal
Best not to touch the leader nearest the fly, but if it floats a rub of mud can sometimes do the trick. I'm struggling to find reliable tippet material, will let you know if I find anything that does the business. Thanks for your interaction.
Thanks for your observation, I have tried all manner of casts in this particular spot to little avail re drag, however I caught them later using a sedge, so a victory of sorts.
