Early Season Dry Fly Fishing - UK River Fly Fishing - The River Dove

- Andy heads out to tackle a coloured river dove for wild trout. UK river fly fishing can be challenging at any time, but when the water turns coloured and murky things can get really tough! Euro nymphing for trout can be really productive in these conditions, and that's what Andy thinks will work in the muddy water. However, if there's a hatch then dry fly fishing for trout can be deadly too! Enjoy - Catching Trout On Dry Flies In Muddy Water! UK River Fly Fishing - The River Dove

Huge Huge thanks to - Hooksounds.com
Really helpful vid Andy, some stunning fish.
GREAT session Andy, keep the vlogs coming! Great technique and explanation, oh, yes, and results too!!
Well done 🦆!
Thanks Kim! Have you been out since it's rained?
@@IBandAndyFishing went out yesterday; had a couple of brownies on squirmy wormys. Saw a couple of risers, but not many. Water was still very coloured too
Great dry fly action! Always worth getting out, even if conditions don't seem ideal.
thanks Jed! It really is, this one really surprised me but I'm not gonna complain!
Had similar conditions recently and was definitely expecting to be nymphing only to be greeted with lot's of rising trout....heaven
Great when it happens isn't it?! Many thanks for watching!
Explains exactly what i experienced yesterday and i was wondering why. Best video to date..thanks Andy
Really kind Glynn, thank you! Did you catch a few too?
@@IBandAndyFishing i used the streamer tactic for small rivers you recently instructed..worked a treat with 3 bigger fish landed..thanks again.
Perfect timing with this one Andy!!
I'm about to go out on my river which is pretty muddy right now.
Perfect timing to take some tips!!
How was your session Joseph?
@@IBandAndyFishing great!! Got a couple browns around the 1.5lb mark, one at 3.5, then a 3lb big fat out of season silver bar.
Outstanding fishing. Love your commentary!!!
thanks Charlie, that'll go down as one of my stranger fishing days in recent years!
Some beautiful there well done love the big wildy keep em coming
Thanks again Stephen, glad you enjoyed it!
Wow Andy, that was some quality fish!! Great fishing, great vblog, thanks. 👍
thanks Nick, got lucky there didn't I?! Many thanks for watching again!
Andy do you have a video on how you play fish. Compared to most North Americas you use a lot less tension/force, use the reel more with much more patience.
Hi Robert, that's interesting, it could be one of a number of reasons I guess. I'm almost always on either 6x or 7x tippet - there's only so much force you can apply! I've not got a video specifically on this, but you might have given me an idea.....
Some great fish Andy.Well done.
thanks Steve, much appreciated!
Great stuff, Andy!👍🏼 Really enjoyed this, as ever. Fantastic wildies!😍 I reckon your theory is spot on... 👍🏼
It's the only thing I could come up with which would explain it?! I've got no idea in truth!
Big fish session, bet you're stoked. Agree about the dry fly, something special about rising fish 👏👏
I was pretty shocked, never expected that to happen! You just can't beat a riser.....
Brilliant that. Well done. Think I need to be doing some river wandering along Derbyshire Wye when it’s up and coloured.
They'll definitely still feed bud at the right time of year. I think we often under estimate just how Iron Blues prefer to hatch on grim days. I bet they were pouring off today! It might not be as effective in August say
Some nice sized wild fish there Andy. Respect to you for being out in those conditions too.
So glad I didn't walk away from it, funny old game isn't it?!
Nice fishing Andy, like you' surprised that there were so many fish rising. Fished the Churnet last Friday, only a very few Iron blues and small stoneflies; no real hatches, hawthorns but none on the water.....didn't see a single fish move. Different river but similar area....never stop being surprised at what a day can bring. That's part of the source of hunger to get out there. Always enjoy IB & Andy vlogs.....keeping me almost sane. Thanks.
I honestly didn't expect this day to go how it did, I think I got very lucky! The Churnet is a funny little river, like you say so close but it seems to behave very differently, I really ought to spend more time on there! Many thanks for the kind comment!
Great vid Andy!!
Keep em coming.
ATB Chris
Thanks Chris, we'll do our best!
Very nice trout and fish in those conditions. Impressive :-) Cheers Torben
I think you were just lucky 😂. Gotta love a wild browny.
I think you're almost certainly right Nick! I'd rather be lucky than good that's for sure!
Great video mate, really enjoyed that!
Thanks Pete, much appreciated!
Geez IB that rod gets quite the arch with a good fish. So is trout season over when this is shot? That Rainbow was stunning! You played it really well.
Andy I can't remember though you may have, I've seen so many of your competitions. Have you and IB gone and fished a spot each and then simply traded spots after an hour or two? It might be interesting to see how you two cover water.
When you find one Grayling, does that mean there is a school, feeding or holding in that one spot?
Where I used to fish Arctic Grayling, they would gather in one area and you might not see another Grayling for a mile or three.
Great video, thanks for sharing the fun!
Nice job Andy!!
thanks Ron, much appreciated!
Great fishing 🎣 👌
thanks very much Kevin!
Oooh.......one or two of them when I come down at the start of July would be nice!!!! 😁😁😁
I'm sure we can rustle something up for you Willie!
Went out last night after work. The river was basically chocolate. There where hawthorns and gnats everywhere though and the fish where rising to my surprise. I had a good evening. Nothing came to nymphs but I had 2 small grayling and 2 trout on the Griffith’s gnat and F fly both size 18. unfortunately both trout prematurely released themselves🤦🏻♂️😂
you've done well to rise anything in those conditions Jacob! Weird how they'll rise in this dirty water isn't it?!
@@IBandAndyFishing it’s bizarre. I’ve never seen them rise in dirty water before. I’m not sure how they could even see the flies on the surface it was so murky! We need this rain to stop now... the rivers have had a good clearing. Thanks Ieva/Andy 👍🏻
Superb Andy.
Thanks Mark, got really lucky on this one didn't I?!
@@IBandAndyFishing Just good grind it out adapt and go with flow angling mate, no luck involved! Top stuff
The lucky bit was me being daft enough to get the waders on in the first place! 😂😂 cheers bud!
as always!!! top!
thanks buddy!!
Going to be a good video I know it catching some trout on spinners and can’t seem to catch on the fly
This is going to sound daft but I also find that at times as well. If the fly life hasn’t been great on your river lately then trout can turn piscivorous and they will only feed on fish until things start to get better. I’d recommend you keep spinning until you start to see them rising frequently. That way you know that the fish are starting to look upwards. Good luck
in the early season most of the time there won't be many bugs hatching, so the trout wont sit in feed lines, it's too much effort for not enough reward. Instead they'll sit in eddys or under tree roots or undercut banks. They won't budge for a tiny fly but a meal of minnow, stickleback or fry is worth the effort - that's why spinners and streamers are so effective early in the season. Once there bugs start moving around you'll find more trout in feed lines
You're mad Andy! I watched the hail and lightning from my lounge and it looked awful. Lovely fish though.
By 15:30 IB and I were sat in our conservatory watching the thunder and lightning too, that was a pretty epic storm. Got out just in time!
Hi Andy
Well done there.
Lovely spots.
I had a go for the first time this year at Czech nymphing in the local rivers.
C O O L
Lost a large Brown but what a great feeling.
Keep it up.
Cheers Craig NZ
Great stuff Craig, man I wish I had euro Nymphing kit when I was in NZ, it could have been really fun! Must be just coming to the end of the season there now? How has this year been?
@@IBandAndyFishing
Yeah pretty much got about 3 month then it all starts over.
Think we are pretty spoiled aye.
I am starting to get the hang of European nymphing though just all about the length of your leader depth of water etc.
Keep it going.
Craig
A great video Andy so thank you for all this information and sincere apologies for the ridiculously waffling phone message I left you asking about casting with your drift XL. I went for the 4 weight with quite a delicate line to match and just don’t seem able to make a short cast with it, perhaps it’s the extra length of the rod I’m not used to, maybe I’d be better off sticking a five weight line on, or maybe it’s just that because I have a wrist injury I can’t add any oomph to my casting. Either way I can’t seem to get a decent cast unless I get lots of line out and then it’s still something of a challenge…I’m not expecting you to solve my problems or necessarily know the answer but I just wondered because apart from me going 4 weight instead of your 3 weight I think you’ve been fishing the same set up. Thanks again John
Hi John, just listened to your VM, had me cracking up 😂😂😂 In terms of the rod, I personally would have either gone for the #3 rod or I'd be over lining for fishing comfortably at shorter distances. The big thing I find though is rod arc - remember with the rod being longer the tip is moving further than you are used to. Almost all fly casters would be better casters for shortening the rod arc and lengthening the pauses between casts. Have a play with really shortening your stroke, you might find things start to work....
@@IBandAndyFishing terrific advise and much appreciated especially right in the middle of your super busy period
I’m heading to the dove on Monday - timely !
let us know how you get on!
@@IBandAndyFishing postponed owing to my guests work commitments #wrongpriorities
@@IBandAndyFishing hi there. Fished the Dove for 3 hours. Cold and windy but a good hatch around 11;30 am. One brown to the net and one lost at distance. Both fish took a gold head PTN.
My best ever days dry fly fishing was turning up on a filthy muddy river where sub surface flies were pointless but on just one corner pool there was a hatch a big bushy dry fly took me a bunch of big wild browns. Doesn’t seem to happen on every river I’ve noticed.
I wonder what the fly they were eating was? Any idea?
@@IBandAndyFishing Do you know I’ve no idea but it was in July about five years ago? I live in the Pendle area of Lancashire where a friend of yours Paul Proctor has had some big fish. That particular day was all about getting a bushy fly to ring the dinner bell with immediate takes.
Try streamer next time water up and coloured thanks me later 🎣
My thoughts it could be a smolt?
Great video Andy well done!👍 I was wondering if you make your own furled leaders and if so what material do you make it out of?🎣
Thanks Ethan! I have yes, I can make them up to about 10' from 0.10 mono but I struggled to make them any longer than that. I buy the Hemmingways 12' furled leaders instead!
@@IBandAndyFishing cheers for the information! I made a 12 foot furled leader the other day, it took me 45 minutes to make and involved a lot of swearing 🤣🎣. I think I will just buy them from now on!
AAAAANDY!
Z polski 💪💪
With such a weighty river, how strong was your tippet?
Hi John, the river wasn't particularly high, just very coloured. I was on 3.5lb fluo - about 0.13mm
Andy - where did you buy the Squirmy? I know a few Irish rivers where this would catch fish!
that's a fulling mill wiggly worm, Paul, great pattern!
@@IBandAndyFishing many thanks!
Iron blue dun = mini mars bar
they really are aren't they?! I wish I could ask the trout why!
Liking those waders-are going to review those too?
We'll review them if enough folks ask - they've been excellent so far!
fish was a stocky not wild
(the first trout)
thanks Eden, what was the giveaway?
the bigger fish allways come out to play when the rivers are high because there is an abundence of food available .
It would seem that way Mick, they sure did on this day!
Boom exactly this.
Think you had problems. No water in the upper reaches of the liffey. You could wade it in wellies and no technique seems to be working 😢😢
Hopefully these recent rains have helped to top things up a little?
