I am an Edinburgh based angler - fishing mainly large and small Stillwater's from boat and bank.
My aim is to share my love of fishing, and hopefully help some beginners with hints and tips, in the same way I was helped when I started out.
Tight lines everyone - and please comment and give me feedback, it would be appreciated.
I also have a website - www.thetroutflyfisherman.com
Also find me on facebook - just search for the trout fly fisherman.
Cheers, Chris

This video features my recent trip to Ledcrieff Trout Fishery - a new venue that I have never fished before. My dad and I decided to spice it up a bit with a little father v son competition, as we didn’t know anything about the place and neither of us had fished there before. It wasn’t an easy days fishing, but an enjoyable day (except for the downpours of rain!) The quality of the trout were t...
Method Challenge + Giveaway - Stillwater Fly Fishing UK
Переглядів 6 тис.3 роки тому
In this video I’m fishing my local water - Rosslynlee Trout Fishery. I decided to do a little challenge, to determine if the bung or pulling lures would be the most effective method. The weather turned and was a bit wild, but I enjoyed my day. Some nice rainbows, a blue and a cracking brown trout made being out in the elements worth it! This video also features a giveaway - a box of flies that ...

Tying a Squirmy Worm - Stillwater Fly Fishing
Переглядів 4,5 тис.3 роки тому
The squirmy worm is a devastating choice to fish under a bung. I tie them in many colours and some perform better than others on certain days, but the best colours in my opinion are bloodworm red, yellow, black and pink. The key is a good squirmy material, and I would highly recommend FNF squirmy - it’s top drawer. Hook - Fario FBL302 Ultimate Short Shank Barbless Black Nickel size 10 Bead - 3....

Tying an Ice Quilled Cruncher - Stillwater Fly Fishing

The cruncher is one of my go to patterns on any day, and this one is my favourite. I mainly fish these either on a washing line (15ft leader - 5 feet apart) or straight lining them with the same spacing. I tend to fish 10’s and 12’s on bigger stillwaters, and 12’s and 14’s on smaller waters. Hook - Fario Ultimate Wet Fly Barbless Black Nickel size 10 Thread - Uni 8/0 Black Tail - Black Cock fib...

Enjoyed that.
Great video. Do You always fish kill tickets?
Info helps SOOOOOOO Much 🙏
Lovely job mate , many thanks for sharing . My friend swears by these in the back end and winter months 👌🎣
I think at 5.01 mins a huge pike just swims by as you take the perch out the water!!😮
I like your new egg pattern very much, I would love to tie-up some other color variations of your egg pattern, MSG Leum
Would love some more of your quality content mate
Great video thanks. Do you know where I can buy these hair rig buzzers that you have mentioned? Cheers Mark
I am always a fan of a natural non bead head pheasant tail nymph.
Cruncher
Just stumbled on the channel, new subscriber. It is a lovely little fishery and I try get over there for a couple of visits each season! It’s not the easiest place, but that’s what I like about it, it’s a very peaceful place and catching some trout there is always very rewarding , really enjoyed your film, thank you 👍
Mate where are you
Another great video, so pleased I discovered your channel.
Do you ever use a tapered leader and then tie on a tippet or is it straight tippet from the fly line? Great video by the way and useful hints with the dropper.
Straight leader. I only use a tapered leader when fishing a single dry, but rarely do that 👍🏻
@@TheTroutFlyFisherman Thanks for the prompt reply.
I used to fish there was till it changed owner when when down hill fast. It use to be fly and bit fishing can remember car packed from hut pass the dam wall good old days.
I just bung it when it's mirror flat like this, with a longer leader
Hi!!!!
Hello!! 🙋🏻♂️
Hi thank you for your series of helpful videos. A great help . Can you please tell me where you get your cast foam retainers please . Link if possible . Thank you in 😂advance . Brian
Type foam rig winders in eBay, glad you enjoy the videos, been a while since I made one, tempted to start again
Great video’s. Away from the synthetic flies, squirmies, blobs etc, flies I catch most on are the blue flash damsels and gold head zonkers. Keep up the good work!
Great 👍👍👍
Still the best fishery in Scotland bar none
Not seen any new videos for a while mate, hope all is well
Very nice , thank you for showing.
What flies would u suggest for roslinlee I’m fishing their for the first time on sat
Nice video! I managed a 9lb brownie out there a few weeks ago. Great wee lake
I love fishing in winter, the fish fight harder. Well my friend, Great advice 💯
Thanks for the video. Good information and done very succinctly, which I like, since I'm supposed to be working!
Great vid mate, just came back to troot during covid. If you make a short heavy 20lb loop to loop at the end of your flyline extend one of your perfection loops so that your foam can pass through it you don't ever need to snip a loop?
Is that strangle Fritz?
Been to Swanswater recently. Great place to fish.
Just found your site third year of fly fishing and this site full of sound information and advice recommend
Nice job!
Hi Chris, Many thanks for the video’s…. Just getting back into flytying Trout flies after many years. There seems to be different sizes of Eggstasy…….Can you please Tell me full details of the material used and where I can purchase it from. I have never used most of these modern materials. Many thanks……Keep the videos coming…..Very educational. 👍👍
Enjoy your videos although I'm not seeing any recent ones
One of my favourite places to go, thanks for sharing.
When retrieving washing line with cruncher/daiwl back and fab/blob how fast do you retrieve. Can you mix it up or best fish static.
The slowest figure of eight you can do is ideal, seems to always produce more fish. If you are drifting on a boat it’s different, as you need to keep in touch with your line 👍🏻
i noticed that whilst you were playing that last fish your line was wrapped round the blank. was that intentional?
What distance did you have between the end of your fly line and the bung/indicator ?
Nice wee video guys , many thanks for sharing . Awesome place the Lake 🎣🎣👌
Cheers mate - it’s my happy place
Great win and look great please to fish
I must admit,the last few Weeks( Top Fly) was the Cruncher, (Claret)#12, Nice Video,Good Advice,Cheers.
Love a cruncher 👍🏻🎣
How do you store these up leaders ( especially with flies on ) to attached when you get to the water ? and can you show how you attach them as well please. Thanks in advance
Store them on foam spools - tie onto your fly line with the same knot you tie your flies on with - has never failed me 👍🏻🎣
Another great video, keep up good work and no snatcher in your top 10 ?
Your video’s are first class and very informative. Keep this up!!
Kailzie is back open again after previous owner retired. Get yourself back down, fishing very well.
How do you fish it?
Been to swanswater 3 times when I was ~15,25,35 years old blanked all 3 times across 20 years 😂
