Fly Fishing England - Buckingham Trout by Todd Moen

- Опубліковано 13 сер 2015
- When I was invited by Tim Rajeff, of Rajeff Sports, to film on England’s River Esk and the historic chalk stream, River Avon, I could not resist. This is the birthplace of dry fly fishing, an area of rich traditions and history, from the sword to the modern fly rod. On this trip, I met up with Tim's colleagues from Airflo, spey casters Richard Wothers and Gareth Jones. Fishing in the shadow of castles and in brilliant green pastures, these anglers stalk and catch grayling, rainbow and brown trout, all feasting on mayflies. This film highlights the history and sacred rules of England’s famous dry fly fishing heritage. Thanks to Airflo, Patagonia and Rajeff Sports for making this film happen. It was, for me, a religious experience and one I'll never forget.

"Nothing has changed here for a hundred years." Except the number of salmon actually in the rivers
@Colin Richey way fewer salmon. Overfishing, climate change, etc
Todd Moen and Tim Rajeff together this is to good to be true THANK YOU !!! . I just need more, a lot more please.
Everything you do turns to gold! You rock!
This vid really hits close to home. Thanks again for another great vid Todd
The old home of fly fishing is nice and river and weather is also beautiful.
Lovely to see the fish treated with such gentleness, brilliant video
This is a great video. Love learning about the history, culture and methods fly fishermen from around the world use.
Todd... you, Sir, are one of the coolest guys ever! As always, great video! Beautiful scenery, loved the up close shots of the fish taking flies. Please don't ever stop doing these great videos!
Chuck Hackett Thanks Chuck! Really appreciate the great comments. Glad you are digging this work and thanks again for the support!

c'est vraiment des moments magiques !....quelle chance vous avez d'avoir de tels sites !......
Nice scenery of the River Avon, the first place of dry fly fishing. Dry Fly fishing on a chalk stream as trout sip small flies is cool. Nice action as you hit the right day of a hatch. Sure wish we had some streams like that here. Congrats.
very cool video it's a shame the average fly fishermen doesn't get to experience this type of fishing. Most of us are limited to either fishing still waters or like you said reservoirs or lochs. This is a very elite members club, private controlled stretches of river that even if you can get on are often priced well outside the average anglers pocket and closely guarded secrets.
well that's a shame marty. I hope you get to travel. If you ever get a chance to visit the US just get the cheapest fly fishing out fit you can get like less than $50 worth, head to the nearest creek and start fishin. If it's closed for fishing and a game warden happen to catch you, just tell him your story and he might even let you go. If he doesn't then just hand him the rod, shake his hand for doing his job and head back to walmart.
There's lots of accessible river fishing in the UK, it's not like a resevoir boat for the day is that cheap. yeah, there are some that are very exclusive but it's hardly the norm
marty S if you live anywhere in the north west of uk there's the river irwell and other rivers that join it. Horrible near the manchester area but upstream at Bolton holds some nice wild brown trout. People say parts of it are owned however nobody has said anything to me while I've been there. See nobody else fishing either. Me and a mate normally have the place to ourselves apart from a few dog walkers.
You and your mate probably have it to yourselves because it is private water and you are trespassing. You are just lucky the landowner hasn't called the Bobbies on you.
If you have a trust fund and a passport anything is possible.
this has inspired me to give fishing a go - I live in England, so I am familiar with these rivers - Thanks!!!
0:55 - what a beautiful roll cast!
Spey cast
@Flashy Paws its a spey cast

+notpopebuthope Thanks!!!!!!!
Just AWESOME !!!!!!
One amazing trip
Enjoyed the video and brings me back to learning fly fishing in Scotland. Similar in fashion as far as how the rivers and lochs are managed, but the scenery is just breathtaking. If you ever want to make a similar video to this, head up north of the Scottish border.
Great video. Glad you enjoyed our fishing.
Nice work! :-) You guys should do one on the fastwater streams in southern Tasmania. Wild Rainbows on the Weld River. BIG Brown's on the Tyenna River and beautiful Brown's in the amazing wilderness of the Styx River! I'd love to see that :-)
Great video, looking forward to getting out on a river, only fished the sea and lakes so far !
great movie and great work camera as always Todd! you are always my inspiration for my video and work on my Canon and GoPro, thanks a lot!
One of the best FF videos ever seen !
+Matteo OnlyFlyFishing Thanks very much Matteo! Really appreciate it!
+Stefano Maldarelli Thanks Stefano!
Absolutely fantastic! The best video seen fly fishing
+Marco Luzzani Thanks Marco!

Todd, at 1:38 it is ok to say Scotland is the birthplace of fly fishing for salmon. That is exactly why we are leading a trip there this May! Gorgeous video! I wish you were joining us in May since we are flying into the heart of the Cairngorm wilderness in the highlands to encounter arctic char as well.
Great movie and mouthwatering scenes of trout taking flies from the surface. One important correction though, the salmon river shown is not in England! It is the river Usk in Wales. The bridge in the background is on the Glanusk Estate near Crickhowell where I fish a neighbouring beat. The trout fishing is good here too.
I'm also not sure about the assertion that it's all floating line fishing for salmon....I always had a set of heads when I was fishing back home
snob
The best FF video-maker of the world! king todd!
+FlyFishing Fever Wow. Thanks you guys!
beautiful film big fish
Beautiful pictures :)
nice work....
Dry fly fishing for the queens' grayling and trout...truely paradise!
Amazing video - as someone who fishes UK lakes and chalkstreams I always lust over the Canadian and US rivers. Interesting to see if from another perspective!
Lived in southern British Columbia. I can honestly say that it's a blessing to be able to just buy a fishing license and explore anywhere you want to go. Mountain rivers, meadow rivers, free stone rivers. It is truly amazing. But this river here looks just awesome!
I live in Scotland. No licenses in Scotland, just need permission. Loads of free fishing🤘
How one fisherman what I am very very good fly fishing video wow very special to me I live in mexico USA god bless England & USA amen thank you for your videos England's fly fishers
Many many thanks
Did not know they had fishing like this in the UK! Amazing and I would love to try it someday! I imagine it is pretty expensive for non residents.
We have tons of it, it pisses it down with rain 364.5 days a year here, we have more freestone rivers than you can point a rod at. Price depends on where and who likes to fish-it. Look up the Wye & Usk Foundation for some amazingly cheap fishing in stunning scenery.
Very beautiful picturized and its hobby for reduce blood pressure.
Lovely film, guys. The only thing I was waiting for was to watch you two culminate the session with a pint of the bitter at a country "heritage pub" or some such, trading stories about this fish, or that take, with a crackling fire in a stone fireplace in the background. Having never actually been to the UK, that's what I imagine shit to be like. Maybe it's not that way, but it would've been cool anyway! :-)
My Grandfather used to talk about Dry Fly Fishing in Yorkshire. He and his family emigrated to Canada in 1928. I just bought a hand made antique bamboo 9 ft. Fly Rod yesterday made by E. H. Percival, Gateshead in magnificent condition. It will simply hang on the wall as a memento of when the WORLD was CIVILIZED.
It sure is pretty with all those green colours. Although dry fly fishing was practiced in Egypt, much earlier than we think. Modern fly fishing comes from England.
I think the first documented users of fly fishing, was the Marcedonians.
Esoxhunt you mean Macedonians Ha ha ;-)
wow great video
Nice to meet you on youtube I feel me all england fly fisherman
That's awesome
awesome video
Amazing video sir
Another great video mate. You should come to TASMANIA
I'm working on it Brendan! Please share this channel with your friends!
Beautiful location
What a fancy way to fly cast never seen that
Nice work
Nice casting, but no salmon. Here's proof even Todd Moen gets skunked ;)
More importantly though, I was shocked to learn dry fly fishing was first widely described as a technique in the late 19th century ("over a 100 years ago", according to the presenter). You know, when people were admiring early automobiles and the newly built Eifel tower. It's a modern way of fishing! Why do some people treat it as some kind of noble art form that "knights in armour" practiced, is beyond me.
One month to go before I'm out on the Avon again. I can hardly wait.
Well Well Todd In The UK hope you Enjoyed Todd Don't Forget The ""River Test" too more soon I hope from all ovr do enjoy ..tc uk
Awesome fishing metod sir... i like it, Have anice day sir.....
Preciosos paisajes y muy buenas truchas
Todd, love your work! Always inspiring. You bring fly fishing to a new level. Thanks!
By the way, where do you get your music? It's awesome. Thanks again.
splendid video, but what else do we expect here ....
+jörg “derleineangler” loevenich Haha! Classic Jorg! Glad you liked it!
Love it :-)
Thanks! 😊
What a beautiful place to fish. Obviously anything British is accompanied by a lot of rules and etiquette. Us cowboys out here in USA fly fishing downstream....haha.
Nice video I'm an fly fisherman of house& Hardy fly reels from ENGLAND
I had no idea you could even fish in England. I thought it was all knights and castles and dragons. But these guys look just like us!
We would we not do as the video says something we invented!
Todd, a video with the awesome TIm Rajeff! How cool! Love that guy!Speaking of cool, what song starts at 6:00? I don't recognize the artist...
On my bucket list as soon a Covid is over. That and visit my ancestors sites in the UK
Beautiful. What was the song in the beginning?
nice
I was thinking on your misses that you needed to say: "God save the Queen" before the set.
Very nice
subscribed, amazing vidieo
Nice video
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video as usual Todd!!! BTW, what is the name of the song/title/artist that starts to play at 6:10 of the video?
Change title to fly fishing England and Wales, that tower was flying the Welsh flag.
great video love the camerawork! however the trout here in ireland are much better ;)
Cảnh vật đẹp. Rất vui được làm quen cùng anh trai
Very cool video! I’d love to fish these places someday. Question though. Why is there a rule for upstream casting only?
As soon as Covid is over I am on my way to the Home of my ancestors to fly fish.
There is a fourth technique you didn't mention, especially for the uk. Wet spider trout fishing. Upstream too!
Nice of you to mention Wales 🏴🏴🏴
It would be like calling people from Chicago Canadians!
You are a artist with the fly line
Great video, but next Tim come up Yorkshire and dales rivers
cool
Côme j'aimerais allez pécher dans cet endroit magnifique !.....
No thank you. I’ll take the public access and the fishery we have here in Wisconsin, especially the driftless over those boring looking waters. They’d probably be cool if people didn’t manicure them. I love our little small trout streams all over the place and the ability to fish any of them as long as I can get in at a bridge. Last June I hiked downstream on a local river and sat down on the bank to wait for sunset and with it, the Hex Hatch. I drank my beer, listened to a podcast and enjoyed the amazing weather. The sun set and it was on. Big football sized browns came slashing out of the water all around me. I had this large pool to myself, no one else was around. I fished until around eleven and walked out, where I did bump into a few people. We talked and moved on our way. Wading in the dark can be hazardous though so be careful! lol
I saw you both were wearing waders. Is wading permitted on the beat of the Avon you were fishing?
3:40 - please name of the music????
Beautiful little short film. My only qualm is the last song. Kind of kills what English chalk stream fishing is all about. That song would be ideal for sticking rainbows with a salmon fly in the states. In those famous stonefly hatches you guys have. But not this type of fishing. I understand it's a modern video however. And it's still great. Just kinda obstructed the vibe for me.
Not that my opinion matters , I'm no Werner Herzog, but just wanted to share how I felt. Cuz it's been nagging at me since I first saw this video. Mind you , I've still watched it 20 times . So you must have done something right ..
Warm regards,
Colbee.
yes, that music :/
Britain at it's best. Tradition starts here!
Haha right and only available to the elite.
Great video and scenery
How does one get to fish these streams
Was in London in January (South African)
Google flyfishingbreaks or upstreamdryfly. If you want the famous Southern England chalk streams. As you go west and north it all gets cheaper. But chalk streams like the Test, Itchen and Avon don't come cheap as the demand is very high. However, so the legend goes, the original place that dry fly fishing was invented was the Wandle in SW London. The river is still there and has been restored, if nothing as it was in those original days. I have caught many a trout in it as I live ten minutes away and it is free to fish. Back to the point though, try the Dorset Frome and stay anywhere in Dorset you'll fall in love with the whole place.
Can someone name the music in the first part if this video? Its almost as beautiful as the spey casts
Can you please include the credits for the music you use? You have incredible music on your videos.
very nice video. where on the Avon where yo may I ask?
It's actually Wales' River Usk, not England's R. Esk, that's the entrance to the Glanusk Estate.
I seem to have missed something-why is it called Buckingham Trout?
can someone tell me were this is in England because i´m from Holland bye the way a very nice video
