- Join me on a journey to my local river, the River Wandle, which winds through the heart of southeast London. In this episode, I shed light on the pressing issues of river pollution and the critical importance of conservation. Dive into "Trout and Tribulations" with me! Together, we can make a significant impact in the fight for cleaner, healthier rivers.

awesome video funny too well done
Very handsome brown trout. Amazing how adaptable and resilient trout really are. Wonderful fish.
Lovely video from a lovely lady thanks for the time and effort of the upload
Yo the audio track is so legit! Love the visuals and edits. Informative with good humor!
Well done Amie! A true conservationist!
What a breath of fresh air! Funny and informative. Excellent fishing skills
Amie you are a breath of fresh air - well except for the end bit x
You're a true inspiration
The best video I’ve seen showing our local river. Brilliant job with highlighting the conservation work too, Amie 👏🏻. Always look forward to your entertaining and beautifully filmed vlogs.
Thanks so much 😊
Why is it still allowed to be so badly polluted...? 😭
This's gotta be your best yet, Amie. Loved the bit of history and context in the beginning/throughout. Handy for somebody on the other side of the world.
This totally made my morning and really gives me inspiration for future conservation efforts of my own
Award winning video.. love it.
I don't fly fish, I have no idea what's going on but I'm here. I'm ready. I'm loving it. KEEP IT UP LASS❤
Lovely video. What a gorgeous first fish, a good size and very well landed. I've fished for trout for over 60 years, mostly in Highland Scotland, Wales, Shropshire and Herefordshire. Recently, I'm receiving the distinct impression brown trout are growing larger and thriving in urban rivers better than rural rivers. Think on the Wye and chicken farms, whilst more time and investment is going into improving urban than preserving rural environments because that's where most voters are. Whatever, I'd love to have a day on the Wandle with traditional nymphs, emergers and dries. London, however, is more alien to me than the rivers of Assynt, Angus and Gwynedd. Is there a local guide to the different beats? BTW... Do remember that the UK record salmon (+64lbs) was caught in 1922 by a woman, Georgina Ballantine. Perhaps they've always been a bit less inclined to sexism in fly-fishing circles in Perthshire than in London. The Picts (the traditional inhabitants of north eastern Scotland) were, according to Bede, very much a matrilineal society.
Brilliant video as always
😆 and what a trout. Great seeing the conservation side of what is going on on your local river well done to all those involved 👍
So happy you are back. ❤
That was fun! Love the tying tutorial. hahaha...Greetings from Canada.
You're getting good at this fly fishing lark! 👌👌👌
Like the style love you know your stuff lovely fish and very good casting !!!!
You are the best ever. I love you and your videos. Ron/Sweden
This is why we have at least 25 "one last casts". Love the open-top hat and the tying demo ❤❤
Great video of a stunning little river👏
The tying bit was first class 😂
yeah its technical and I don't expect everyone to understand but I tried my best to (for lack of a better word) dumb it down.
Good to see you back !!
Love your enthusiasm and the way you tell a story. Informative, funny and cinematic all in one.
Brilliant! You should be on the telly.
Thank you for a wonderfully informative film Amie. The Wandle is my local river and has provided me with many hours of pleasure since 1983 when I caught my first trout by accident fishing for Chub. I didn't know back then they were partial to bread! Since then the river has furnished me with Trout, Chub, Barbel, Carp, Roach, and even the occasional Eel. It is good to see that work has and still is being carried out to improve the health of our wonderful local river.
Great video. Love the Wandle fished it in the 90's. 🐟
Lovely to see you again. Probably your best so far. Tight lines.
Your swedish friend😊
Wonderful, 🐟what a lovely fish, as you say so buttery great to see you back👍👍Splendid, History section, Loved the fly too😂🙂
What a fantastic upload, a breath of fresh air, well I say fresh air but maybe a fart or two 😂. The AT will definitely benefit having you onboard. Loved the dressing up as a man 😂😂. Hopefully in the next 5yrs we all de a great change in our waterways
I don’t imagine I’m very well liked at the AT lol I declined Ambassadorship for various reasons lack of time being the main one, I basically said if you want anything from me pay me because I had no time to dilly dally back then to benefit others tokenism but, now times moved on and I’ve seen a change from the AT (they acknowledge pride month on there website and other important cultural events) that wasn’t there before I would consider it.
@@amieflyfish2577 fair play, you can’t please everyone matey but for those you do it’s worth it I’m sure. Keep being you 👍
Great video,
Keep pushing that message, you never know, one day, the water companies will be held to account.
Wonderful flatulent delivery to end it on👌🏻😁
Excellent video it's vitally important we look after our water ways and the life within them, as well as polution
philomena cunk vibes and a new ringtone. "brown trooout". thanks
Great Video, I was blown away by how beautiful this River is around Hackbridge…

Another great video , the effort shows and they are hilarious
Thanks as always great work
I don't know why I haven't come across your videos before but this is awesome ....nice bit of education and some laughs :) ........"just wrap that around, then wrap this around" .....well funny, I'm off to watch some more !
Great stuff, particularly the fly tying part which gave me a good laugh…oh and the Brown Trout song. Your style reminds me of one of the anglers from Screaming Reels on C4 many years ago. Keep it up.
Great stuff. Wish there were more like you. Love your sense of humour
Wonderful video - been taken on the Wandle for a couple of coarse sessions by a mate and was stunned by the quality and variety of fish in there. Now I’m in my first season of fly fishing I’m due to have a session next week having been on other cracking little rivers like the Len, Darent and Cray. They are waters many would walk past and ignore but more fool them.
Wow I just bumbed into your channel and what a gem did I find! Great combination of fishing, facts and humor! Instant sub 👍
Really well made, fantastic!
Great vid. Lovely casting technique.
Your clearly fun personality comes right through the screen on your videos - really great content mate
Awesome brown trout, and awesome brown trout song. Extra props for that
Wow this was an amazing video, thanks for all the hard work! Keep it up
Thank you! Awareness is averything.
this is the first video of yours I've watched and its giving crazy teacher vibes but a load of fun 😂
Great stuff Amie, excellent info and wonderfully presented. The song and sketch are brilliant. Cheers and tight lines
Great video Amy 👍
Amazing work, thank you for sharing
You could easily have your own tv show you legend! 😂😂
Lovely video . . . excellent narration . . . I like to watch these videos of fly fishing the different rivers in the UK . . . and a little comedy doesn't hurt either . . . therefore you have a new subscriber . . . oh, and nice casting . . . tight lines and clean waters! . . . 😁
Brilliant on many counts. Information with hilarity is the future. Luv it !!
Woow. Awsome video. Really enjoyed it.
Greetings from Bosnia.
Tight lines! 🍻🍻🍻
🇧🇦 ❤🇬🇧
Well done on landing that big brown, definitely a pro move. Hopefully the river improves.
Just found your channel one of the most unique UA-cam channels out there. Cheers
Nice to see other countries interested in conservation of the fishing waterways! Where I live in New York, some streams are much cleaner than even 40 years before, healthier fish populations
Really nice to meet you today on your morning walk. Didn’t know the river had such history
It was a pleasure to meet you.
Brilliant stuff as always Amie…it’s a wrap!
Beautiful fish, excellent video.
Just found this channel a lot of work went into this and you dont take it mega seriously😂
thank you
Super angling skills and video
That's was great! A nice twist in a saturated space. Looking forward to the next installment.
Great video 😀
Excellent educational video Amy, funny but also serious on the conservation of our beautiful rivers. What outfit were you using & when is the soundtrack being released 🤣 Always enjoy your videos absolute quality! 👌 Tight lines 🎣 Beautiful brown trout
Reddington classic trout rod 8ft 4 wt , for me , there's too much action on it so I might change it. but it's a good rod
Brilliant! Love the focus on how we all should do our part to help bringing these waters back to good condition- even by simply picking up litter when we are out there.
Btw. I see we use similar techniques tying flies- lots of wrapping round.
Cheers from Denmark.
this was great ! very well done and it was good that you went into the conservation side as well as fly tying and all under 16min new sub
Thanks, Amie, informative and refreshingly entertaining video. Reminds me of a program in the late 80s called "screaming reels" channel 4. Nice casting action and a natural presenter to boot.😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved it, keep up the good work.
The fish song was epic haha
Great video as usual! Thanks for posting!
Maybe my favorite flytying instruction ever.
Fantastic video i love the River Wandle probably because it's name was originally the Vandal so it holds a special place in my heart
Spent a wonderful day walking the length of the Wandle with the late great Will Tall some years ago. It’s a magical little river with a lot of surprises x
Will was one of the original wandle piscators, made a big difference to the wandle.
I've just found myself one of the Crabtree Wombles. 👋 😉
Very creative video. I like😊❤
Just came across this video by random! Absolutely loved it! I need to tie that fly.. If I got the steps right... it's.. Wrap Round, Wrap Round, Wrap Round, Whip Finish, Wrap Round, Whip Finish.. Easy enough fly to tie. Subscribed.
I’m just after finding your channel well done hope you will be making more videos thankfully you don’t take fishing to seriously I had a buzz watching you catch tight lines from Dublin
Now that Amie is good for the soul.A refeshing change..well done.
How did I got here and why is it so entertaining? Such a lovely energy here!
Great one kidda
Nice little trout song Amie! Love your video!
about ten videos all in one ace as always thank for bothering all the best
Fantastic video! Thank you 😊
Love this more please 😊
Very good video 👏🏻🎣
Absolutely great video !!! ****
Thank you very much for sharing😅
Just came across your channel today. I think I commented marry me on another video 😅😅 Your videos are class really enjoy watching them. Fishing and funky beats. Excellent work
Enjoyed that!
Your personality is refreshing from the normal stuck up fly fishermen/women I tend to see lately! (:
That song!!! Banger.
It is beyond me why you do not have 8 Billion subscribers ❤
Ok maybe just 1 million - just arrived at the ending - bad social credit score
I don’t ask to like share an subscribe lol
@@amieflyfish2577 no need. Sykes and pikes is also very fun to watch
beautiful fish, I used to live by the Savacentre late 80's and often wondered if there were fish...
cor it just must av been ruff then! im surprised anyone survived the 80s lol
There are a few scars I will admit.
lol 😂
I have never subscribed so hard to a fishing channel. Brilliant content, fantastic sense of humor.
