I am 70 now and have fished all my life for pure wild brownies , in wee spate burns as a kid, graduating to hill lochs as I got older. The type of so called fishing depicted in this video does absolutely nothing for me, although I do appreciate this type of fishery does provide a very valuable resource for the uninitiated. In fact bring on more of these ponds, as it will help protect our natural resources. My wee bit of advice to all new fly fishers would be to keep you casting short and delicate, trying to throw huge long casts just scares the fish. Also play the fish on the reel nice and gently. Trying to yank them out of the water as if sea fishing with a boat rod is not the way to go. I will probably get a lot of negative comments on this, but if you have had a 3 pound wild brownie on a screaming reel on a West Highland hill loch you may well agree on my take of things. Tight lines to all.
Hi, David from Ledyatt here. I just wanted to thank Steven and John. Superb customers, brilliant anglers, and great company. We all enjoyed this video. I felt your excitement and was rooting for you with that big Blue. So pleased you went for dries. I'm a lover of traditional fly fishing and when you gain confidence, it's unbeatable. Thank you for travelling so far 🙏 Thank you for an incredible, informative and inspiring video. Big up to Andrew Buffton and his sensational selection of Cdc patterns. David.
Loved the video and the dries taking fish off the surface , just subscribed to your channel, Ledyatt is a top notch fishery with the best team of hosts you could ever come across. Booked another trip up from Wales in a couple of weeks, will try some CDC’s on the surface .
Thanks mate you wont be disappointed its a great place and the amount of big fish that are caught everyday is phenomenal. The dry fly sport is crazy too unreal how many fish are slurping off the surface when theres a hatch on 💪💪
What line are you using today, you picked a good spot there, some cracking fish. How long did it take you to drive up there, from say, Dare Valley or Caerphilly. were you up and down in one day or did you have a stop over, ha, a stop over it was then Great video (as usual) Penblwydd Hapus butty.
Hi mate all the dry fly fishing was with the Celestial Comet floating line which was a big help punching the small dry fly out at range in the wind. With the lures i had the DI3 arflo sinker and the washing line set up i had the blue on was the 40+ airflo intermediate line 👍👍 It was a good 8hr drive from bridgend and we stopped a few times to stretch the legs nice easy drive though. We stayed in a local premier inn after fishing and then drove home the next day 👍
Hi Dave, just started watching your videos. Have you got a link to them flies use using spot on keep doing the videos I will certainly learn something 😎🤙
Hi mate the website is currently down but if you have facebook the guy who ties the flies is called Andrew Bufton if you send him a message that way he will be happy to help 👍👍
@@markmorgan7773 thanks mate 👍👍 the line is a celestial floater il pop the link below 👍 www.celestialflylines.co.uk/lines?store-page=Comet-floating-intermediate-c154861534 And the flies are from Andrew Bufton his websites down at the moment but if you are on facebook hes on there you can send him a message 👍👍
@@sedgy87 this was a road trip for my birthday and to try somewhere else 👍👍 Theres not many if any fisheries out there that stock that size and in the quantities that they stock them in i could be wrong but i follow all the fisheries on social media
@@jamesweedman8166 Better them on the stocked lochs that stealing my brownies from our other lochs , but seriously, it's a day out fishing, we all wish we could be fishing for salmon using trout rods and dry flies like i do , but rainbow fisheries have their place and they do have some nice fish in there, appreciate the hard work that the hatchery supplying Leadyatt is putting in, it takes pressure off the wild stocks

@@OverSheGoes Yes am converted as well as ive just ordered a load of CDCs for fishing trips over the next couple of months.
@@mdflyfishinguk5220 i was impressed with the ghost mode line too nice and strong good knots where as a few times using G3 it snaps when tying a knot
Great session guys.
That pink snake dose the business 👍👍👍👍👍
Crazy how the fish switch on to certain flies and that pink snake is really finding the fish for me at the moment 💪💪
Go to the river it's free.😂I've had monsters ferrox .

Well in ,its fantastic when you get a double figures fish
The blue trout was stunning too what a fish that was 😍😍
What size was you cdc it looked massive
Size 12s they look bigger on the video because the floating front section was wet possibly
Not for me either … these guys almost give themselves up to the visitors..
Highland rivers and hill lochs are the boys !
Do you know how many big fish fisheries you past to get there😂
@@sedgy87 this was a road trip for my birthday and to try somewhere else 👍👍 Theres not many if any fisheries out there that stock that size and in the quantities that they stock them in i could be wrong but i follow all the fisheries on social media
It's not a lake big man, it's a loch 🏴🎣
Man made 😂😂😂🤡🌎
Is it land of the mega or loch of the mega😂
To be fair it looks a good fishery not far from me but never been , best stocked fishery in Scotland is Harelaw by far .
It's man made pins you clown
Hilarious
Why go Scotland and fish that stocked puddle 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤡🌎
Why not? 🤷♂️🤷♂️
