M8 please don’t think I leave long comments like the one I just left 😬 I just love fishing 🤷🏼♂️ I spend hours watching videos on here anything to do with trout fishing I watch spinning & fly I try to learn new things but more often than not if I ask for advice I get no reply so when I do get a reply like you did I just get excited to talk about fishing & can get carried away I’ve learned so much from watching videos not all good but I’ve learned from my mistakes & consider myself a good fisherman although I don’t catch monsters like you do 😂 I very rarely blank on a trip well I’m off to bed take it easy & Tight lines 😊 ✌🏼💙🎣🏴👍🏼 Craig 😉
Quick question, what brand of rod are you using here? The cork on the handle made me wonder if it was a Burkeimer? But I couldn’t see any markings on the graphite.
I get the a lot when I’m wading up my local river WoLeith fish swimming past me they are spooked so easily & the clarity is nowhere near as strong as this there’s one stretch it’s knee deep just now but it’s about a 1/4 mile long maybe not that long but it’s long straight about 6 meters wide that’s at its lowest depth but it can be waist deep after rain it’s hard to access unless you have waders so there’s some decent fish in that stretch I’ve only caught 3/4 fish in it & it’s always been at that perfect time in the evening when the sun is nearly gone & always on Rapala lures I’ve caught a few 7/8 inchers on a size 1 Mepps but my little Brother has caught a few on the dry fly there’s always fish rising when there’s a hatch so I can’t wait to get down there before the seasons out I’ve not had the chance to fly fish this season only been out 3 times & due to getting mixed up with braided loops I didn’t go out. last season when I bought my fly combo I snapped the tip on my 1st session maybe 10/15 minutes in I was simply pulling on my line to put the hook into the holder on the rod handle & it just snapped I was furious 😡 I took it back to the angling centre which is the only tackle shop in Edinburgh now there used to be at least 6/7 scattered across the city but now it’s just this place & it’s miles from me I don’t drive so unless I get a lift I would need to take 2 busses to get there 🤦🏼♂️ anyway I got a lift & the guy changed the rod no problem he noted it must have been a fault because of the way it had snapped I forgot to buy braided loops so my brother gave me one which was too big so to keep it on a used quite a bit of super glue which just made it hang under the surface with the extra weight of the glue 🤷🏼♂️ I didn’t know braided loops come in different sizes so not being able to go out as I needed one that fits I refused to take local transport & couldn’t get a lift I couldn’t order online as I couldn’t see any indication of size so I had to go to this tackle shop it was my only option but I left it & just went spinning well on my last session out just a week or two ago I was spinning & my Brother was fly fishing we split up as usual & it’s not long until I’m into some wee browns but I managed to get my best of this season it was maybe 2lb maybe just a bit less I was stoked that feeling the adrenaline it never gets old well I caught up with my Brother further up stream he had blanked so we decided to go for one more hour well till it got dark I lost a couple none landed so I’m wading down stream it was getting quite dark by now my eyes are bad enough & I wasn’t sure if it was my Bro I saw 👀 so I’m squinting trying to figure out if it was him I saw his arm move when he was casting his fly & I saw & heard an almighty splash he shouts I’ve got you 😮 I raced down & filmed him as he had just netted a lovely brown that he swears has got the better of him on numerous occasions 😂 it was a lovely fish I’ve got the two videos up on my channel they are both shorts less than a minute long I say channel but it’s just lots of short videos I’ve made using my phone as I don’t have a Go pro & most vids are once I’ve hooked or netted the fish it’s not a proper channel well it turned out he had caught 2 nice browns just before I got there but I’m taking the credit as I let him use my Furled leader we hadn’t heard of them but I bought one to try after seeing it used on another fishing video so we ended the session & left as we’re walking back to his van he tells me he’s got Braided loops in his bag I thought he meant the same ones he’d given me which were too big no he said & got them out to show me he had 2 sizes so I got the smaller one I got home & hey presto it fitted perfectly it turns out he’d had them since the beginning of the season 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ WTF I could’ve killed him 😂 I could have been out fly fishing after all if I’d know he had them all this time 🤦🏼♂️ sorry m8 I feel like I’ve just written a book with this rant about a braided loop 😬 I hope you see the funny side if not apologies 🫣 Check out the 2 vids it will only take two minutes it’s just to show you what we consider a decent wild brown in this wee river The Water of Leith 😁 you’ll understand why I’m so envious of your location 🤷🏼♂️ right I’m done I hope I’ve not bored you to tears with this extremely long comment 😬 ✌🏼💙🎣🏴👍🏼 Craig 😉
Hi again it’s your new sub from Scotland I commented on your biggest catch video last night I would like to try this type of fly fishing so could you give me a little bit of advice please 🙏🏼 What length is your leader & what you use on it from the indicator to what nymphs you’d recommend I know you use eggs but I’m not sure if they would work over here although I could be wrong the rivers I fish are very similar in size and depth & lastly I only have an 8ft 4W rod will that be ok 👌🏼 thanks in advance ✌🏼💙🎣🏴👍🏼
Hi！ For the leader length, I usually go with about 9feet.From the indicator, I often use a couple of feet of tippet, but it varies depending on the situation. As for nymphs, you’re right that eggs work well for me, but since you’re in Scotland, I’d suggest trying some traditional patterns like Pheasant Tail or Hare’s Ear nymphs-they’re pretty universal. And yes, your 8ft 4W rod should work fine, especially if you’re fishing smaller rivers. It might be a little light for very large fish, but it should be a good setup for most of what you’re targeting. Good luck, and tight lines! 👌🎣
If they are highly pressured fish you cannot pick up after your bugs have landed like around 3:20. Make sure you drift past them or drag slowly if you have to
From what I can see, the water is too clear and soft to fish “up”. I would be crawling on the bank, fishing down. In streams that size it seems that when you see them, they saw you or your line and they are moving away fast. Very challenging stream, good luck!
Thank you for your comment!! The bank of this river is private property, so we should stay on the stream. That makes this river very difficult. Once someone go up this stream before me in the day, fish become very spooky.Even when I am the first person, as you said, river is too clear which makes it challenging stream especially for the beginner like me..But I love this river as it’s very beautiful. I have never thought about fishing down. I’ll try it when I go another crystal clear stream! Thank you for your advice!!
@@HealingFishing-ce7dx Can you ask permission to walk the bank? My friend and I fished some nice water because we would ask and bring small gifts to say thank you. It is worth a try and you may make a friendship. You never know, good luck.
define: "high pressure", because I come from areas where you literally almost never can even see trout. You can fish for weeks on end and not catch one.
