Tough conditions but braving the elements and persisting with it can sometimes bring you the chocolates. I believe that situation with Bruce and the broken hook on the lost fish on the dry fly eat. On camera the strike looked to be too aggressive. I've seen that happen before. Dry fly eats only need to be a gentle pull through in the strike. Good video there, Ainsley 👍🏻
I'll tell Bruce to calm down 😂 need to rewatch these opening day videos in september next year to remember how hard the conditions are as it's otherwise too easy to fall into the trip of thinks it's all easy fish in the sunshine 🤔 cheers for watching hopefully you're getting out a bit and not just stuck at home watching yt 😁
Ended up breaking 3 or 4 of these same dry flies over the course of October... Then Tony E taught me to test them against my thumbnail before using them... That man actually knows it all 👌🎣🏆
@nzadventurer I have a torn calf at the moment so too much time for youtube atm 😅 I done it on the river a couple of weeks back. I might need to do some work on them in the gym in the future 😅
@nzadventurer He used to teach Mike Kirkpatrick a thing or 2 back when Mike was much younger, of course, and that's saying something on Mr. Entwistles' behalf, considering Mikes prowess
well done again Ainsley
Gnarly conditions…but a nice clear river. Big effort.

Oh no sorry to hear that. Hope you have a speedy recovery bro
Do you just angle for sighted fish-or do you search the water too.
Mostly sighted, especially if clear water
Bruce has just scared off gym-shy would-be fishing companions Ainsley! Me included...
Ha ha 🚁 👌🏽
