    Hi Davie and congratulation on the fantastic trout you caught; I have been following you for many years, you are my fly tying teacher and my favourite fly is Green Peter's Sedge Hopper with which I fished a lot of trouts. See you soon!

    Watched this (and other fly fishing trips) wth my 8 year old son standing by me. Yesterday we went out fishing the Provo River in Utah. He asked me "is this where the Wee trout live" I said (puzzled by his wording.) "there might be some" a minute later we caught a nice rainbow, he said "is that a wee trout??" it was then I realized he thought "a wee trout" or a "wee brown" was a TYPE of trout, not a SIZE of trout hahahah. love your stuff Davie!

    Love your natural, honest, relaxed and experienced commentary. Feel I am fishing with you even though I live in South Africa. I once fly fished the Stinchar back in 1968 on school hols also with low river and 'heat wave'. You have bridged that nostalgic time gap for me, thanks Davie! PS what is your magic dry sedge pattern you are using in this video?

      The water is a good temperature due to it coming from the loch so it never gets high unlike the other river I fish which is too warm so I don't fish it until it rains again..I'm glad you enjoyed the video..

    Have the brown trout always been this quality on the Doon, or has it improved since the decline of salmon and seatrout? Cheers 👍

      @DavieMcPhail  Рік тому +1

      Hi Scott,
      Even when I was a boy I caught lovely brown trout when I fished the Doon in Dalmellinton where I was born which was in the 70s so for me there's always been good trout in the river..Even when I was a Ghillie on the Doon I would fish for brown trout when there were no salmon around so I would say it's a great trout water..I'm glad you enjoyed the video..

      @@DavieMcPhail Hi Davie,
      Thanks for your reply. A Dalmellington boy! What a wonderful place to grow up,the Carrick forest and Loch Doon and the river too. It's no wonder you ended up doing the great things you love to do.
      I lived in Patna for a time while working on the trout farm in Dalrymple, quite often walked along the Doon, I think it was the Smithston beat,looked very fishy,(Salmon).
      When I'm not fishing on the river myself it's a great privilege to join you on your trips out.
      On your flytying videos, that are an incredible inspiration, you quite often mention managing a trout fishery. Just wondered which one?
      Keep up the great work 👍
      Cheers Scott
