Fly-fishing in MORDOR | Dream Stream 2
John Gierach once said: "You can’t waste your life making money and then go back and buy that life back with all your money. It just doesn’t work. If you want to go fishing, go fishing"
I'm sure John's words have inspired more than a few intrepid anglers to grab a fly rod and head off in search of adventure.
This August I came back to Iceland for the briefest of visits. My goal was to chase epic wild brown trout in a river I've spent the last decade coming to know and love. It emerges from the lava fields at the base of a volcano once thought to be the gateway to hell. The trout certainly seem to have a bit of the devil in them.
On day 1, the weather was typically Icelandic and I was barely able to film anything. On day 2, the weather was wonderful, but the fishing fell off a cliff! I was also plagued by nuisance salmon that couldn't get enough of my 6-inch articulated streamer. Still, I hope you enjoy this shorter-than-intended fly-fishing vignette.
A huge thanks to Greys (greysfishing.co.uk) for supporting me this year. On this trip, I used one of the new TAIL combos in 6wt along with the stunning WING travel rod.

DREAM STREAM: FULL FILM | EPIC wild brown trout fly fishing Scotland | North West Highlands
Переглядів 36 тис.Рік тому
For as long as I can remember I’ve had this obsession with fly-fishing for trout in wild places. It all started when, as a boy of 8 or 9 years old, I first hiked up into the hills behind my village and caught gorgeous, hand-sized trout from a tiny tributary of the river Devon. These days I live in Glasgow, Scotland's largest city. Although the urban trout fishing on my doorstep is quite good (a...

Early Season Trout | Fly-fishing Scotland | Nymph Streamer and Dry Fly
Переглядів 22 тис.2 роки тому
It's early season, the weather is unseasonably cold (yes, even for Scotland), and I'm back on the rivers chasing wild brown trout! In these conditions, the fishing can be slow and it often pays to vary your approach. In this video I land trout on the nymph and the streamer, and have a very close call on the dry fly! If you are new to the channel and like brown trout fishing and fishing in Scotl...

It's the last few days of the wild brown trout season in Scotland and in this video, I'm on the river Clyde in South Lanarkshire trying to close out the season in style. Fly fishing for trout and grayling is on the menu and I am rewarded with a 9 or 10 fish. Between fish, I talk about my FIVE BEST FLIES for trout and winter grayling and show how I rig a strike indicator to present these flies a...
3 Day Fly-fishing Adventure in the Scottish Highlands | Wild Brown Trout | Lochs & Streams

In early September I spent 3 EPIC days hiking, car camping and fishing for wild brown trout in the hills of Assynt, Sutherland. On the first day I was joined by my good pal Conan ( native_edn_flyfishing). We had so much fun, I forgot to film most of it! On the second day I hiked up into the clouds to fish a group of remote limestone lochs. The weather took a turn for the worse but ...

In this video, I introduce my version of the pheasant tail nymph, one of my BEST flies for trout, and show it to some hungry wild brownies. Fortunately they love it almost as much as I do! If the water is low and the temperatures are high, tributaries are often the BEST places to focus your energy when trout fishing. The morning I filmed this video, the bigger rivers were down to their bones. B...

Join me on the north coast of Scotland where I fish for wild brown trout in what must be one of THE BEST small stream and hill loch systems in the country. The fish are stunning, beautifully proportioned and eager to take a fly. The scenery is almost as impressive! Blue line angling with fibreglass rods, dry fly and traditional wet fly fishing are the order of the day. As part of the Angling Sc...

In this video I take a trip to the highlands to fish a new river. The scenery is sensational, the water is low and clear and the trout are very finicky! But I persevere and manage to land a few good fish on the dry fly including a cracker with almost my last cast. Remember to subscribe and turn on notifications!

After a cold start to the season on my local river, the month of May finally brought the trout to the surface in significant numbers. Late spring/early summer is consistently the best time of the year for dry fly fishing in Scotland. In this video I catch a few urban trout on the dry fly and talk through some of the tackle and techniques I use on small streams and rivers. Remember to subscribe ...
ANOTHER 3lb Brown Trout! | Fly-fishing Scotland | White Cart Water | Urban Fly-fishing | Stay Local
Переглядів 19 тис.3 роки тому
It's early April and owing to low water and an unseasonably cold spell, the trout in my local river, the White Cart Water in Glasgow, have been sulking. After weeks of walking the banks looking for rising fish, I finally decide to vary my approach. I tie on a size 20 midge pupa pattern and the results are immediate. Before long I am releasing my second trophy brown trout of the season. Or is it...
New Scottish PB Trout! | Urban Fly-fishing Scotland 🏴 | White Cart Water | Dry Fly-fishing
Переглядів 22 тис.3 роки тому
On the 15th of March, after nearly 6 months of angling inactivity, I visited my local river, the White Cart Water in the south of Glasgow for my first fly fishing trip of the season. In my experience, it's unusual to come across rising trout so early in the season and I spent the morning #Euronymphing all of the likely-looking spots without success. Then, just after lunchtime, I came across a r...

In part 2 of this series of videos from Iceland, Dabbi and I chase #trout and #char in the rivers Galtalækur and Fossá, as well as Þingvellirvatn and the surrounding area. Galtalækur is a small tributary of the West Ranga that offers the angler a chance to catch trophy sized #wildbrowntrout in crystal clear water. The setting is almost beyond belief and we discover a 'pool of dreams' beneath a ...

Hi Sean. Wonderful video, places, music... I've been lucky enough to travel to Scotland twice, and I'm looking forward to going back. I wish I could catch some trout or salmon (no catch and release), I'm from the south of Spain and I've always fished in the sea. Thank you very much for the videos and best regards.
You and I, have the same disease. And the fact that I recognise nearly every loch and burn that features in your beautiful film, confirms we both require the same course of medicine. We are fortunate.
You should try the carron in larbert
Beautiful video
Absolutely amazing! Making me want to grab the rod and go fishing.
What an awesome video. Well done 👍
There was a 4lb'r caught a few weeks ago
Beautiful video, very well done
What sort of scales is that you have?
Beauty I’ve not long started fly fishing had 4 so far on dry fly uk stream awesome fight on a 4wt rod… well made video thanks
Great video. Very well put together! What length and diameter leaders do you is for this sort of fishing?
Love this content from the White Cart as it is my local river to. Are you going to make anymore new content ?
They don’t come better than that, why bother with Salmon?, fab, well done old boy.
Hi Sean, your UA-cam Channel is second to none and I really enjoy your videos. I keep checking for any new ones but not seen any since this one. Are you still making them?
I love your laid back videos. A sharp contrast from North American content. The camera work complements the landscape. Very enjoyable videos. Keep at it.
Beautiful film by the way ❤
Was that the Kelvin that you were fishing in Glasgow?
Only got back in to fly fishing this season due to a long long lay off of 6 years due to a torn rotator cuff injury Your videos and uploads on instruction on tying fly’s is fantastic and the fishing locations are outstanding from urban to this one thank you for sharing tight lines to everyone 🎣
What can you say 👏👏👍
Top👍 Bellissimo😃 😎🎣
Wow !!! Spettacolo👍 😎🎣
I fished the ‘dream stream’ today and just wanted to say a big thank you as we wouldn’t have got to fish such a beautiful place if it wasn’t for you. Your videos are amazing mate. Very well done
It’s some place isn’t it. How did you get on?
Great video as always hopefully see you at the Devon again….
You have a great wee channel
awright buddy great video
Excellent video! Nothing more beautiful than a wild Brown Trout!
This is movie making brilliance. Keep it up pal love it
Any tips on access, licensing, permits?
You've summed up my brother's and my childhood in one fell swoop. We grew up in a remote part of north Wales and we're obsessed with catching trout from our wild moorland peat streams, too. That deep love for the wide spaces and smell of the running water never leaves you. We'll be making a return this summer. Wonderful video.❤
Do you release all that you catch?
Where you at Sean? Love your content mate 👏 hope your out catching some brownies lad 👍
Great video, I love wild trout fishing. You film it perfectly. I really enjoyed your video. Makes me want to get out my bed and go fishing
Your a man after my own heart, fished a lot of the lochs and lochans, around Scourie, had some great fun.
Absolute quality sean 👏🏽🙌🏽
Great vido though the music choice spoils it a bit. Lift music.
I coudn't watch all the video the music was so annoying .
Really enjoyed it mate. Just subbed
Absolutely fantastic I was brought up by the devon.will be fishing it soon.Great video
Great video! Booked my 10:th trip to Iceland this year. You just cant get enough 🤘🇮🇸🙌 even the smallest stream holds beautiful fish 🤩
Your channel helped me get through the winter waiting for our open season on the 1st of April. Hopefully there are lots more videos to come. Also a big shout out from here in New Scotland (Nova Scotia)
Brilliant editing.
Recently retired I have spent a lot of time watching fishing videos waiting for the new season to start. I have to say, your channel has it all. Your video skills are 2nd to none. You can hear the love you have for Scotland and fishing in your voice. I am not sure why you have not been snapped up to do your own TV fishing show. Absolutely amazing and thank you for sharing your experience with all of us. I'm looking forward to joining you on all of your adventures via this channel. Tight Lines.....Willie
Hey buddy, I think I will join your club tomorrow! Are you still fishing the White Cart? All the best, Eli
Brilliant video Can you advise what the waders and boots are you using please are they greys just about to purchase for the new season Thank you and keep the films coming 🎣
Thanks mate I have a pair of the new greys tital waders and a pair of simms tributarys. The simms are higher quality as you’d expect but for the money you pay I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the greys 👍🏼
@@SouthsideFlyFishing many thanks looking forward to your next video Tight lines for the new season
Very nice videography bud 👌🏽
As the old song goes, What a wonderful world, let's hope we don't spoil it.
This video just gets me in the mood for when the season starts, I would also love to try something like this
Lovely video, it has whetted my appetite for the fast approaching season. Tight lines 🏴.
“The boundary between heaven and hell is only as wide as the hearts of man.” Wow nice. Let me just say you indeed were in heaven because…”who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?” Job 12:9 Most excellent video as always!
