Keep up the good work Chris, you make super video's and its lovely to see some familiar places whilst being sat at home int he office! I find the viewing very relaxing and it reminds me just how much I enjoy fishing in Scotland. If only there were more fish in the rivers these days!
Arrgghh,!!! Nothing worse than missing a 'take', especially when they are so few and far between. Another great video Chris and can't wait to see that next fish. I totally admire your patience, resilience and dedication. I would have given up ages ago!
I took a tumble at almost exactly the same place a few years back. Stepped down expecting to find purchase, and kept on going. I had a swelbow and a twisted knee for about 3 weeks afterwards. It is a great place to spend a day though, regardless of the catch.
If you focus on really completing the snap by bringing the the rod back into you own bank preceded by a extremely methodical lift it really helps get the the line into a better position for the forward cast, it also helps get the tip up. It's fairly steady draw on that pool, I think you afford to be a bit more square with your cast to present a better angle to the fish. It can be small things lime that, I have bad knee myself I aways use knee supports today I don't know if you do but the buggers tend to let you down the knee support seems to stopped thag happening
@@colinmcdougal6233the price of those beats you mention is beyond the common man in most cases hendersyde between 350 and 700 a day and you have to take 3 days to get maybe 2 fish if your lucky

Thanks 👍
Great video Chris hope the knee is improving- how many rod days is that you’ve had now this year ?
A lot, not sure tbh, trying not to think about it 🤣👍

Thanks JP great advice as always 👍
Hope your knee is on the mend now. Can be very frustrating when they pluck at the fly then let go.
Taking ages but getting better slowly 🐌 🤣👍
Did you hurt your knee?
I tore my MCL in 2019 and had fully recovered, but this fall was really painful and took ages to recover from 👍 thanks for thinking of me
You say "good value" but it's really not, thus no fish. Go to the lower river in the summer .................
Cheers Colin, i didn't think £50 was too bad, I am just planning my next trip so maybe lower down will be better, any suggestions?
@@CornishChrisTheFish Hendersyde, Lennel, Milne Graden, Tweedhill , better chance in the summer on any of them

You should fish the other side, looks like more easy going !
It's a different fishery on the other bank unfortunately but you are quite right ✅
