  • Fishing this high altitude lake on the side of a mountain blew my mind! We catch some beautiful fish and see some incredible views, fishing doesn't get much better than this! It definitely wasn't easy getting up there, with my fitness anyway! I hope you enjoy the video especially considering how much effort it took me to get up there. I absolutely love trout fishing, and in this video we do some lure fishing for trout and fly fishing for trout. Wild brown trout fishing at it's finest!
    As always, thank you very much for watching, I really appreciate it! If you enjoyed the video please don't forget to give it a like, and subscribe if you want to see more of the fishing videos I make! Hopefully I'll see you here for the next video!

    There are records of one Victorian landowner who stocked high altitude lochs and lochans on his estate in Scotland by having pony panniers (baskets which sit either side of the pony’s withers) lined with linen bags, which themselves were coated with pitch, then filled with stream water, and then the fingerling trout which had been bred in captivity were put into these ‘portable goldfish bags’ and transported to their end destinations by the pony and ghillie.
    Great endeavour!

      @@adventurefishinguk Sea fishing is where I'm from but Lleyn Geirionydd is a good trout lake with a mixture of (brown) trout introduced for various reasons so their colours are considered the most beautiful. I caught a 3/4lb one with red, black and yellow spots, yellow perfect fins, white underbelly. Interestingly, the lake is thought to be dead which keeps everyone away but there is serious tonnage of trout in there. Big eels, too. Only locals tend to know about this...

    Nice vid. Fly fishing suggestions if i may.
    1. Fish the fly first to avoid spooking too many fish
    2. If you get a follow don't be afraid to pause for a good few seconds then start retrieve again. They often come back
    3. Vary the retrieve speed including very small sharp snatches
    4. If you're getting lots of follows but no takes rotate through flies quickly
    5. Always try dry fly first to a rising fish. No need to retrieve if the cast is good
    6. You need to be stealthier around bank than lure fishing. Dark clothes.
    7. Polarised glasses
    8. Flies with frills and legs always good when you can't tell what they're feeding on
    9. Leader least as long as rod

      @guyosborn615 Рік тому +1

      Good advice - I quite often use daddy long legs or caddis - easy to see, nice big mouthful (that is not matching the hatch but is a temptation for the fish to grab a big mouthful) and on rivers if you can't mend your line well, both chub and trout are used to things like caddis skittering on the surface and, because of the size, fish don't just sip but do a decisive take.

    Fantastic rod setup. Would make it easier to hike or kayak with this set up.
    Yes, the lake is a glacial tarn, the remnant basin left behind when a glacier has retreated up the valley. The steep wall at the back of the tarn is called a bergschrund or backwall. It’s where the ice cuts almost vertically along with great height of the ice and snow. It’s not a moraine as someone else suggested which is somewhere down the valley - a heap of boulders that were carried down the valley and dumped there when the glacier melted. Fascinating stuff glaciers.

    Hey...nice video and intro to that bit of kit. As a mountain fly fisher I can certainly appreciate it.
    You cast better than a beginner, so definitely put a longer leader on! Or they'll get spooked. Also, try doing all your false casts to the side rather than to the same spot you're looking to cast.
    Or each false cast can also spook the trout 👍

    Great video. I love any picturesque videos, especially fishing ones!! You mentioned your back taking the strain in the video. I'm a sports physio and have some little bits that would make it easier. 1) Get your rucksack higher up on your back, not hanging down low. Also, the heaviest items should be at the top with the rucksack filled equally from left to right. 2) Like a lot of injuries, things go 'eek/ bang/ crack" through overuse. So some basic exercises for your quads and core will help no end. Getting fit for fishing hahaha. Who'd have thought it, but joking aside it;ll allow you to keep making more vids. ATB, Chris. :)

      Thanks for the advice, I tend to get a lot of pain behind my left shoulder blade towards the middle i think it’s probably caused by lots of casting with a bag on. Weight distribution isn’t something I’d considered so thanks for the pointer!

We discovered charr there back around 2010. Also contains beautiful little brownies. Another of my favourites is Coomasaharn and Coomaglaslaw, which contain the most beautifully patterned char I've seen. Also home to some enormous Ferrox trout. You would love it over there!

    Really cool setup. Something to try with the fly, flip your wrist and let the line take the fly out that way. That is called a roll cast and does not require to height to get it going like you generally see. The little native brown trout that you caught were so pretty, something about the native fish that makes them just a bit more special. Here in the US there are many areas where the native trout population is supported by farm raised and released trout. The farm raised trout are kinda robotic. To get away from them, you have to do exactly what you did, hike up into the mountains and find ponds in the remote waters and often in the Western US the trout species you can find are numerous, many are unique to the water you made be fishing in. Thank you for sharing your experiences, stay safe, and wishing your and your family many Blessings !!!

    When fly fishing, you need a longer leader and then tippet. And when you cast, never take your arm past 90 degrees above your head and wait for the weight of the line to begin to bend the rod before moving forward. If you do that, and it takes practice, you will catch those beautiful Brookies
