My favorite thing about this fishery is being able to fish the river too...Nice Browns and Grayling in there...The Grayling love some of your tiny flies Martyn.
Excellent Martyn. I had to cancel my September booking. But I’m there again in October. Can’t wait. Testwood is my favourite venue to fish. I know it’s pricey, but everything you catch is over 10lb, and it’s nice to get a PB. Not only that, but you get to fish the Test as well……..Yes, the Test on a C&R, but where else can we (the great unwashed) get to catch Grayling and wild trout. Not only that but Nigel is a great character.
Great video as always, Martyn! Quick question if you don't mind. I recently bought some of your stalking bugs however when it comes to casting them, it's very tricky as they almost seem too heavy and just fly all over the place. I use a 6lb leader - just wondered if I'm doing something wrong?
@dwardz1 hello mate, stalking patterns are not easy to cast because they are so heavy. Ideally they are for flicking at close range for stalking or a pretty good caster will manage to get them out further, but still not easy. Because of this I designed my Longcast range, which are all the popular stalking colours but alot lighter with brass heads. You should try these mate 👍
Hello mate, my rod is a 9'6#7 hardy zenith. It's a lovely stiff fishing rod which I like . The reel is a hardy dd large arbor #7. Line is a #7 rio stillwater elite. Regards Martyn

@martynwilliams7229 appreciate the response and help - I'll check them out now, as I love the ones I've got as they always produce.
Hi Martyn just bought some flies from your site, they arrived today. Excited to give them a try! What's your rod and reel?

Great video but have to ask what happened to your thumb?
Hello mate, nothing major, just dry cracked skin.
