Midge Tip & The Bung - Stillwater Fly Fishing at Rosslynlee
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 вер 2020
- This video features my recent trip up to Rosslynlee fishery, where I had the fishery to myself all day! Strange for a Saturday, but it was pretty windy!
In this video I am using a Rio 6ft midge tip line, as well as using the bung on my Orvis pro line.
Rods I am using are:
Vision Onki 9ft 6#- midge tip
Airflo super stikk comp 7#- Orvis pro line
I quickly found that the fish were around 3ft down, and demonstrate how I fish these methods.
I also touch on how using the bung can help beginners establish the depth the fish are feeding, and how you can then incorporate this into your tactics, and then switch to the countdown method.
I tested out some new fly patterns that I have been tying, and feature them in the video.
I hope you enjoyed the video, and please comment and subscribe to get future updates.
Take care
Chris

👍👍, you're spot on about not knowing where they are. Hopefully learn that as I go. Was following your advice about going where the wind is blowing to last time 👍
Excellent and informative video as usual Chris. It helps to have someone talk through their tactics in real-time. Some interesting points about the bung. :)
David Brittaine - thanks David! Glad you are enjoying them 👍🏻
Really enjoying these videos. As someone who is looking to do more of this type of fishing they are very informative 👍
Joseph Brownisky - thanks Joseph, I’m glad to hear that! If there’s anything you think of that you would like me to cover let me know and I’ll try my best to include in a future video 👍🏻
great advice as usual Chris :P
Chris.. great stuff again.. tight lines..
Thanks mate! Tight lines 👍🏻
Brilliant and most helpful. Just the sort of stuff I need as a beginner. I’m off to these methods at my local fisherie. Wish me luck.
psychomart - thanks mate, and good luck! Let me know how you get on 👍🏻
Another cracking video and great advice. I really need to try the bung. Was out yesterday all day and caught one fish on a dry, something special about catching on a dry. That said, I noticed a guy using a bung and he certainly was catching more. This video has given me the knowledge to give it a try. Will let you know how I get on. Keep them coming mate.👍🏻🐟
Peter Anderson - thanks Peter, and it’s definitely special catching on dries! The bung can be deadly, and especially if it’s flat calm. It also works well in the winter. I tend to only use this method for short periods during my session, as I do get a bit bored, but it’s a definite go to method and you should give it a go. I might try and do a dedicated bung video in the future. Cheers 👍🏻🎣
Very informative video. Enjoyed it.
Cheers Brendan, glad to hear you enjoyed it 👍🏻🎣
Thanks mate used the bung to drift the flies over the weed and I bagged up. First time I’ve done that. Thank you so much
psychomart - Nice one mate! 👏🏻 it’s definitely an effective way of using the bung 👍🏻
Nice one .
On a day when I might have gone home despondent you located and caught fish - excellent. An inspiration. Methods taken to heart and stored away for next time. Many thanks
Colin Decio - thanks Colin! It’s a pain fishing in the tougher areas but if you are catching fish you forget about the conditions!! 👍🏻
Great video 👍 I have subscribed to your channel !!
YUKION Channel - thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
Chris ace video again mate,did you say that you make your own bangs would really like to see a video on that so I could have go of making my own tight lines mate
Robert vivian - thanks mate! Yes I do make my own, but hadn’t taken any so in this vid was using Airflo airlock indicators. I make indicators with a hook, just tied on a dropper. I can feature these in a future video for sure 👍🏻
Just found your vids, excellent they are mate, very informative.
Is that the ‘in touch’ MT line you’re using?? How do you find it?
Thanks Oliver! Yeah that’s the one, and I think it’s a very good midge tip line, best I have tried. Really can be useful especially for controlling your depth whilst bank fishing. 👍🏻🎣
@@TheTroutFlyFisherman ok cheers mate, think that may have made my mind up for me. Only just starting sub surface so your content has been excellent for me so thankyou very much mate!!!
@@captspaulding987 - key thing is varying the retrieve speed and weight of the point fly to control the depth, but allows you to fish different levels easily 👍🏻
Hi mate, I’m just starting out and already planned to use bung. Was planning on using bung and 3 flies, any tips on how to avoid tangles when casting with bing and 3 flies? Cheers
Hi mate, I notice you have messaged me on Facebook, so I will get back to you on that message, as it had more questions 👍🏻👍🏻🎣🎣
I usually prefer to fish small stillwaters, but where I am in East Manchester there are mainly reservoirs. My local one is Errwood, bank fishing only and no wading. Any similar waters to you for any tips? Could be a good video to help people to work out locations on a big water with not many obvious features. Tactics, depths vs the conditions? I had success with washing line my first few visits, but last couple weeks had no joy 😭
Rob Hart - Hi Rob, most of the larger waters here I fish by boat, but there is one I could potentially feature for the above, but will be closing soon for winter. If I don’t manage I will do it next year for sure. My tactics would depend on conditions, but the constants would still be keep moving and search depth. This time of year, a fry pattern would be my go to when searching, as this is perfect for round the margins on big waters. I would be seeking out any features like weed beds, inflows and outflows, reeds, trees or any structure in the water to start with. Just keep moving on a an intermediate using the countdown method (unless you know the fish are high), then when you locate fish and work out the depth, change flies if takes dry up going smaller or over to nymphs. As I say I will try to feature this but might not get the chance until next year now, as all the larger waters here close for winter around October. Cheers 👍🏻🎣
thanks
What knots do you use when fishing with Seaguar Grand Max,? thanks, and keep the videos coming.
Rob Roy - for flies 5 turn blood knot, or non slip loop knot with 5 turns. Key is pulling them right slowly, with plenty moisture and you will have no problems. Triple surgeons knot for droppers too, with extra turn to stand proud as per my last vid 👍🏻
@@TheTroutFlyFisherman The reason I asked the question was that I was advised to use the Davy knot on that particular flourocarbon by the seller, thanks again..
Rob Roy - it’s definitely more fragile, but as long as you tighten slowly and leave a decent tag end it’s all good. Davy knot would work well 👍🏻
How do you find the superstik competition rod ..... I had one for a bit but preferred the airflo airline v2 as it was a bit more responsive
BarryBigPlumsFishing - yeah it does the job well enough, and I mostly use it now for the bung or sinking lines. I was going to get a new 7 weight but changed my mind, as I use my new 6 weight vision onki rod mostly now and love it.
@@TheTroutFlyFisherman I've just bought two, 10ft #7, great rods.
Mike James - Nice one Mike 👍🏻
@@TheTroutFlyFisherman Vision Onki are amazing rods! I originally had the 7 wt, but I now have them in 5, 6 and 7 weight... simply fantastic. I had Sage in 6 and 7 (got rid of them), and still have a few more expensive rods, my favourite of them being hardy Untralite NRX 9' 6" 6 wt, but will never sell the Onkis...
Also... recently bought a Scierra SRX V2 9'6" 6 wt... absolutely fantastic rod! I paid about £105 for it - incredible rod!
i am new to fly fishing what rod reel and line would you recommend ?
alenthesquirrel - hi mate, you won’t go wrong with the Shakespeare sigma fly combo as a starting point, in either 6 or 7 weight. If you are bank fishing then 9 or 9ft 6, if boat I would go 10ft. My favourite rod is my vision onki in 6 weight, and my favourite floating line is the Orvis pro, but for starting out I would go with that combo, and get yourself an intermediate (say 1.5ips) and sinking line (5 ips) and that will do you for a long while whilst you get to grips with each technique. I snapped a few rods when starting out, so best to go budget and then progress 👍🏻
Hi Chris great vid again. Why is your bung set at 9'. I don't mind using the bung but do enjoy straight line. I have no problem with a floating braid then 2' or 3' to fly. I normally fish single fly if too windy as I don't like a long tippet flying all over the place. I normally find fish higher in the water when windy. flat and cold deeper. Oh you made me feel cold when I see you in your hoody.
Shaun Fishes - thanks Shaun. It’s set at 9ft to give me the flexibility to go deeper if required, by just sliding the bung up. I love straight line too, but some days the bung will out fish any other method. Yeah multiple flies in the wind can be a challenge, but roll casting or big open loops helps control it. That’s interesting, as I find the strong wind generally, but not always, pushes them down. Haha, just wait til I’m fishing in the snow again! 😂👍🏻🎣
m Not sure they are that near the top at that time of year. But I always work my way from the top down and its not very often I even get onto intermediate lines let alone sink lines. But once winter sets in that's another thing. On the bung, yes I didn't think, should have put my cap on before asking about 9'. And yes again bung in wind as its very difficult to keep contact with fly in stronger wind. Another factor is you are much further north than me. Our climate here is so different. Nice work Chris. Shaun.
@@TheTroutFlyFisherman Hi Chris, Just to say thanks. Have been using that Seaguar tippet for the last 2 weeks now. love it. Shaun.
Shaun Fishes - nice one Shaun, it’s good stuff eh 👍🏻
Please please teach me how to fight and pull in a fish. It always spits out my hook when it rolls and I have tension on it
Jn Erceg - it’s a tough one to answer, but I will try and feature playing a fish in a future video to hopefully explain this as it happens, think that will be the best way! Basically it’s keeping tension but not too much, and keeping control 👍🏻
I find to only catch wi the bung on still waters if water flat calm no ripple which is a nightmare but that tactics deadly
Alan Doyle - it’s definitely effective in flat calm, but I have good success in the wind too, especially in and around weed beds 👍🏻
Great video as always mate 👍 you ever over in fife fishing?
Golf with Yuill Scotland - thanks mate! Yeah I do but definitely an area to explore more! One for the to do list! Where’s your favourite in Fife? 👍🏻
@@TheTroutFlyFisherman oh tough call there are plenty good ones to choose from...Newton farm for bank and if you like the boat then stenhouse both good waters with plenty hard fighting big fish 🐟 give us a shout if you ever venture over this way 🎣
Golf with Yuill Scotland - yeah I have been to stenhouse and enjoyed it, but I believe they had to close due to algae? Is it open again? Never been to Newton Farm, but it’s on the to do list as heard great things. Will definitely give you a shout when I venture through 👍🏻
Yeah mate it opened again last week and another double stocking went in 💪 Newton is defo worth the trip lives up to its reputation! Kinross is another one worth a visit although not fife very close by. Good man im always up for a day out 🎣
Golf with Yuill Scotland - nice one, does stenhouse open through winter? Yeah been to Kinross a few times. I really like Swanswater so tend to go there if travelling that way! Nice one, we can meet up for a cast at some point 👍🏻
Enjoyed this pal. How's covid affecting your fishing bk home???
Cheers mate. Yeah I can go to my local water only, but it’s been frozen solid for weeks 😂 there is talk of more restrictions so need to wait and see. How about you?
@@TheTroutFlyFisherman well I have a lake right outside the house but its coarse so no good to me pal.
I bet its cold up there. What part of Scotland is it.
We've been in lockdown since before Xmas, I'm getting withdrawal symptoms right now lol
@@jarredhudd9578 - yeah I’m just outside edinburgh so not too far north, but still been freezing for weeks! Yeah that first cast will be sweet though eh! 🎣🎣
@@TheTroutFlyFisherman is sure will
What kind of rod is that your using mate?
Matt lumley - vision onki (9ft 6 weight) initially, then had the bung set up on my airflo super stikk 2 comp (10ft 7 weight) 👍🏻
Thanks again for your valuable and informative videos,I find them very useful, cheers and tight lines ✊
Sam McKnight - cheers Sam, glad you are finding them useful! 👍🏻🎣
The filthy looks and float fishing comments I sometimes get if I fish the bung on occasion........normally from and angler using half a chicken or Xmas tree lecturing me on what's really fly fishing and what isnt
BarryBigPlumsFishing - haha, yeah it’s funny that, but indicator fishing on a river is different somehow too! It’s a nonsense really, if it’s allowed in the rules bash on and enjoy yourself eh! Someone who is stripping lures saying the bung isn’t proper fishing cracks me up too. I tend to get bored fishing it too long, but it’s always a go to option for me, and couldn’t care less who it upsets! 👍🏻
