Knew that was a good one from the splash after the hook set! Putting it on the reel when you strip them in was another sign. Well played getting it to the slower less oxygenated water. Love those scary, standoffs. Well done you!
@@wvlongshooter3912 Hello, yes, it wasn’t a particularly long session, but with some chopping and changing I managed to net a few fish. I’m glad that you enjoyed the video.👍
Nice conditions/flow and some strong fish too, given how finicky they were on the nymph and egg...and then the mini bugger streamers came out to play to show how being flexible in approach can be productive...nice to fish along with you Neil ....thanks for sharing
@@Tjk186 Hello TJ, great to hear from you. Thank you for your comment and observations. I’m afraid that maybe the mini buggers come out too often, but the change of tactic can often put a few fish in the net when other methods are less productive. Thanks for coming along!😉
@@bobhammond8067 😊 It is so easy to trip or for a stone to roll when you step on it, but then you know all too well Bob!! 😉 Your injury list whilst fishing, is growing! I hope the medical visit goes well, good luck.🤞
@@stevepotischman5939 Hello Steve, I’m glad that you enjoyed the video. Streamer rods: it is important to use the right rod for the river that you are fishing, the style that you are fishing and the weight of flies that you are casting - I think that they are the three fundamentals. It is clear from my videos that the river that I regularly fish, is not a large river. When I think of many US rivers that are very large, sprawling and very fast flowing, I probably wouldn’t think of using a 3 wt.! If you are fishing streamers tight line style however, with a mono leader, casting into pockets, a standard nymphing 10’ 3wt would serve. If I was fishing a large sculpin, for example, across and down, with a long retrieve against the flow, I might go for a 5 or 6wt. So what I look for in a streamer rod depends upon the aforementioned; I would add that for still water, I use 10’, 7wt, it’s all about ‘horses for courses’. Sorry that I can’t be more precise!😊

@@bobhammond8067 Yes, different part of the river, different club and different size of trout stocked. 👍
Some really nice looking fish in there
@@StevenT-nj7cu Hello Steve, yes, good quality fish that were strong when hooked.👍

Hi Neil. Enjoyable video. I do have a question: what do you look for in a streamer rod?
