Me 2!! I just finished reading Chalk Stream Salmon & Trout Fishing by Charles Bingham and I realize now that there’s so much for me to see and experience over there. 😇
Just wanted to acknowledge all the hard work you’ve obviously put in to producing this quality video, format and content Lindsay…very helpful tips and enjoyable, in a beautiful part of the world …thank you and sending you a Euro nod 😂
Appreciate it!! I was on holiday for two weeks so had the capacity to really spend the time on this one. probably to much time if im honest. I love the process though and thats what keeps me coming back. Trying to make better content each time.
LOVE this instructional video!! Personally, I use a popper fly as my dry fly, and fish a dropper off the bend of the hook (or as you like to say, “New Zealand Style”), and strip it through the water and watch how this attracts fish, almost like ringing a dinner bell. But I just recently purchased a number of foam hoppers after hearing all the crickets chirping after dark. I’ve only fished one of them without success, but we haven’t had the normal amount of rain, which might be another factor in play. Keep those videos coming as I feel like I’m receiving an entirely new education. 😇
Hi Lindsay, Really like this fly fishing video. It looks a stunning location with some high quality shots along the river bank. I enjoyed your top hints and tips for the Dry Dropper tactics, plus you caught a few good brownies on the day. Best regards, Wayne 😀👍
Absolutely! In fact, someday I want to travel across the pond to the “Land Of My Ancestors” and catch some fish on my fly rod after learning 95% of the World’s chalk streams are right there in the UK. The only problem is, I don’t know anybody over there. But your videos are very inspiring. Keep up the good work. 😇
Another great video. I have been using my 11'/#3 switch rod (redington hydrogen) for both euro nymphing and then just go to either dries or anything that comes to mind.
David, I would love to but currently I still have a full time job. Only a couple of years to go though and all being well I am hoping to create content full time.
Daft question Lindsay, can you use this method on still waters and what nymph would be on the point (dry sedge with a sedge pupa on the point maybe)? Keep up the great work Bud. Cheers
Dry fly on a dropper for me always. Have tried NZ but lost the nymph and tippet when casting, plus the dry is tethered at both ends which stops subtle movement and can hamper the fish taking the dry. Downside to dry on dropper is it takes more to change flies if needing the nymph to go deeper using a longer tippet and the dropper does twist with nymph tippet but that's soon sorted with regular checks and simple untwisting. I've caught far too many fish (lucky me 😊) using dry on dropper to change. Nice vid Lindsay, keep up the good work. 🎣
Superb detail provided throughout. No fluff or entertainment rubbish just the key info in a calm logical easy to learn format. Thank you Lindsay.
Very kind thanks David.

Make it happen pal.

Thats very kind pal, thanks for taking the time to let me know the videos are of some use.
A very informative video.
Thanks Mike. 👍

Thanks Wayne it was a stunning river.

I hope you make it some day 👍
I hope you make it some day 👍
Great Video and infromation Lindsay, the river looks great
It treated me very kindly Peter. Glad you liked the video pal.
Same here Lindsay but in the Tongariro river you can feel a gentle pluck from the fish
Another great video. I have been using my 11'/#3 switch rod (redington hydrogen) for both euro nymphing and then just go to either dries or anything that comes to mind.
Good stuff! I am going to experiment more with the longer rod.
Hi Lindsay from Scotland. Thanks for another fantastic video. It would be nice to see you do some river fishing from Scotland if that possible thanks
David, I would love to but currently I still have a full time job. Only a couple of years to go though and all being well I am hoping to create content full time.
Great video Lindsay I’d hope to get takes in 4&8 not that I’ve fished rivers for trout more barbel & chub when living in London 🐟🎣😂
There were fish throughout the system but the water was warm from what summer we had and the bulk of the fish were in the heads of the runs.
Nice one 👍
Thanks ✌️
Excellent video as always 👍
Another good video. I tie a tippet ring onto the bend of the dry fly and suspend the buzzer/nymph from it rather than tie onto the hook of the dry.
I have tried that with both mono and the small tippet rings. They both work well but I get lazy and forget to tie them in.
Another great video. Is it possible to do a video on how you attach a micro ring to your flyline. Thanks
Simon going to be tied up for a few weeks but when I get the chance. 👍
@@lindsayiflyfish exellent. Thank you very much
I use a micro ring to attach my tippet to my leader. This also gives me the opportunity to tie a dropper off the ring if I want to fish the duo.
@@nigeldeitch9718 Good tip Nigel.
Great video Lyndsey. Love that little chest pack - what’s the make?
C&F, don't think they make them anymore its from my competition days. I was travelling light as space was at a premium when going on holiday.
Daft question Lindsay, can you use this method on still waters and what nymph would be on the point (dry sedge with a sedge pupa on the point maybe)? Keep up the great work Bud. Cheers
Not a daft question pal, you can use it on Stillwater but most folks just use a bung.
Hi Lindsay, what is the make and name of the spray you used to make it hydrophobic please
Thanks
Hi Steve, here you go pal piscari-fly.com/collections/piscari-dry-x/
One question I noticed you tied your dropper straight to the bend of the barbless dry . Do you lose any of your dropper flies that way ?
It has not been a problem, maybe the very odd one but I can’t even remember the last time that happened.
Dry fly on a dropper for me always. Have tried NZ but lost the nymph and tippet when casting, plus the dry is tethered at both ends which stops subtle movement and can hamper the fish taking the dry.

Thanks pal, I have tried both but just prefer NZ style. Good point about the dry being tethered at both ends though. Will give that some thought.
Im new to this. Think ill try both and see how it goes But useful to hear the debate. Lindsay did say both variants have pros and cons.
you use the vivarelli. I have use the reel for two decades!
Sadly it’s not a Vivarelli, can’t get them anymore. It’s a cheaper knock off version.
@@lindsayiflyfish I have the Adventik too.
