Welcome back to Lake*Trotter. Fishing. Ealier this year I said goodbye to my Grandad, Bampy Des. Today's session, 28th September 2024, would have been my Grandads 90th Birthday. The past 3 or four days have not been good for fishing on the Afon Lwyd so just before midday I decided to check the conditions as I really wanted to put a few fish in the net using my new Wychwood Drift Nymph MK2 befor...

Fly Fishing isn't easy with so many tree's and a 10ft fly rod
Переглядів 3463 місяці тому
Well, I didn't have the best time snagging in tree's overhead when the hook pings out of the fishes mouth. There has been a lot of tree growth over the past few months which made the fishing difficult even more so using a 10ft fly fishing rod. I did catch many fish but maybe I'll try again with my 7ft rod. I hope you enjoy this video & thank you for watching!

The River Was Extremely Low

Firstly, Welcome to all of my new subscribers! This session was a spontaneous "I'm Going Fishing" moment. As I drove over the bridge by the skatepark I could see a huge pebble beach area...The Afon Lwyd was running very low! I wasn't expecting much this evening in terms of fish numbers but I was happy with the amount of fish in the net. Lower water levels mean less oxygenated water for the fish...

      @martincorcoran8263 Hi Martin, i bought these in a used condition as I was desperate to get back out in my local river which I probably should have mentioned in the video to be fair. Reason being, I had another pair of these whilst out in the river on a previous session when the pair I was originally wearing the whole mid sole came off the left boot and floated away down stream. I had an extremely difficult and dangerous time getting back up stream to say the least! I do like the look of these boots and they are comfortable to wear but I won't be buying these again. Im new to fly fishing and my own fault for buying used and the same pair that originally caused me problems 🤦 I agree with what you are saying though. Types of boots is definitely something I need to brush up on though so I can choose more wisely. Thank you for commenting and watching. It's much appreciated! All the best 👍

    • @laketrotterfishing
      @laketrotterfishing 16 днів тому

      @Cavanpikefishing Hiya, bud! Personally, I wouldn't buy this for two people with the assumption that you have two beds going in there. This is a single skin brolly system, not a bivvy, and it doesn't have a front panel to close up just in case you wasnt sure. I can't be 100% as I didn't try 2 people in it, but I think you could squeeze 2 in there depending on the width of your sleep systems, but it would be a squeeze. I have a video called "fishing a South Westerly Wind" where you can get a better view of the width, depth, and height in comparison to my chair, at least. I was using this as a day brolly, but I sold it as I was rarely using it. I'd get the dimensions of both sleep systems if you are using them, add the widths together and find a shelter based on the total base width compared to the combined bed width and the longest bed if that makes sense? Hope that helps your decision and thanks for watching and for you question! All the best! 👍🏼

Last year I saw a guy with his kid spinning using a carp or sea rod upstream of the skatepark!!!!!!! I'm not sure what he was expecting to catch in the lwyd but it's not good for the fish and certainly not necessary.

    • @laketrotterfishing
      @laketrotterfishing 4 місяці тому

      Hi Matt! This process did work. I have used the boots 3 or 4 times since this video and I've had no problems so far (my river is very rocky too so my soles are at all angles wading upstream). The only issue I can find so far is the gluing of the heel transition where the felt sole didn't stick to the mid sole for what ever reason but hasnt caused a problem yet. Some people tack the felt sole to the mid sole. Not sure if that would solve the issue but for the price of some glue I'd say it's definitely worth trying to fix them. Just soak the soles in hot water for 5 or 10 mins to make it easier to remove the damaged sole. I will get an update video done this evening if I have time so you can have a visual of what I mean. Thanks for viewing too much appreciated 🙏

    • @laketrotterfishing
      @laketrotterfishing 7 місяців тому

      Thank you for that tip! I will definitely work on that. I find line control tricky because I want the fly or nymph to look natural in the flow. When I try keeping in contact, I find I disturb the fly making it not look natural. It seems such an art. The river is fast I find retrieving line from upstream and letting line out down stream yo match the flow difficult too. It's all practice though and just happy to be back out after a long absence this time around. Appreciate your view and input 👌 👍

      @FlyfishingLwyd 7 місяців тому

      Try a furled leader 5-6ft with plenty of gink to help it float. And having a 2-3ft of tippett should help with the drift. And because you are using a 6ft rod break the runs down into smaller sections is always going to be difficult to correct the fly line with a short rod.

    • @laketrotterfishing
      @laketrotterfishing 7 місяців тому

      OK I'll get a furled leader. Can that also be used while nymphing? Shorter drifts make sense too. I did lose a fly and straightened out two hooks due to my nymph getting snagged under rocks. May try an indicator next time to help control depth too

      Yes I have insta but tbh your best popping into Cwmbran Angling in Pontnewydd village and talking to Steve...he has the day tickets and has lots of valuable knowledge. Cwmbran Angling Association now has the fishing rights to the river again since May this year so not sure if the rules have been changed as I havnt fished it since my last video 👍

    Love it. Last year I made a single hook wire trace leader to fish those Jack's. Using double worm, make them look like an X with a stick float so I could quickly change the depth. Chuck it to the side of the jack and bang on it. Had 4 of them competing for the bait, lol. Yet to catch the jack with the white tail though. He gives you the look of 'yeah right, seen those numpties fall for it, not me' lol

      I use 10ft 3# rod on the Lwyd it's perfect. There are a lot of god rods about and some really good deals. I sometimes use a 6ft 3# it's really good for getting in the tight spots for dry fly or even dry droppers.

      No the tip is softer so you can feel the nymphs on the bottom. And the but sections of the rod are stiff which is where all the power comes from.

      Oh don't talk to me about the dogs 😂😂 people can see I'm fishing and still let their dogs run in the waters I'm fishing like they have priority. I don't mind if I'm setting up or packing up but when they can clearly see I'm actively fishing I think its just inconsiderate of them. If im out with my dog and someones fishing I respect their right and move to the next available point of entry. They'd soon complain if their pup got a hook in it. What are the stock levels like because pontypool is strictly c&r but I believe cwmbran stretch is/was to keep 2 per angler per day with minimum of 8"? I'd be lucky to even catch 2 😂

      Because I didn't realise that there was a cap inserted on the thread which I was supposed to take out before fitting the centre pole which I did mention before and after the cut. I wouldn't go as far as saying its a "useless" video just because I didn't show the removal of a small unscrewable cap which can be seen on the floor in the next frame and mentioned. Wasn't something that was unpleasant at all I just didn't think it was important to show myself underneath a brolly removing a cap which took about 5 or 10 seconds to remove. If that is what you was looking forward to seeing then I'm a bit concerned for you but thanks for watching 👍
