@@RhysFishes You were being spoken about today Rhys, my friends and I were fishing Burnhouse Lochan and the lassie that runs it was saying that she was in the Scottish ladies team and they're going to be fishing in Wales. I said that she should watch your videos for some tips but you beat me to it, having already fished Burnhouse ! Anyway what was said about you was all good and really looking forward to your Burnhouse video, you seemingly did better than we did 👍
Excellent videos! Probably the best videos online and definitely the best for those who fish in the UK. One wee suggestion from a long time fly fish who is still clueless, when you mention a fly add an image of it in a wee box on screen as there are a lot of us who are still clueless about the names of the 1000s of flys out there. Thank you so much for sharing your high quality knowledge with us all it's greatly appreciated.
I watched your videos and went back to fly fishing after a long lay off - I bought your fly box and caught my lakes record fish at 16.5lb on your cat bug light green - only went there 2 times, the locals were not happy ! Cheers Rhys
Lochter is my local fishery. Glad you enjoyed your day and it’s great to hear all the positive things you said about it (and the tips will be handy 😂).
Awesome video guys. This is my local fishery and I’m delighted to see it getting the praise it deserves. I’d be there more often if the local river wasn’t so good!
Hi Rhys & Jeremy, Really enjoyed this video, particularly the way you select your tactics and set-ups on each rod. Each method has its own merits… the important thing is knowing how to fish the flies you’ve chosen. You guys nailed this session, as you said; It’s what spring fishing is all about. Thanks for sharing, best regards, Wayne 😀👍
Another masterpiece mate . Good thing about your videos , Doesn't matter if your a novice or a experienced anger you'll pick something up from every video . All the best 👍
Brilliant video again. Just what i needed to see with the nymph setup. Not had a chance to get the rio midge tip yet, but will definitely be getting out there and giving this a go! 👍👍
@@RhysFishes absolutely not mate. I can only speak for myself like but the longer the better. Cam Hanes released an elk hunting movie the other day and it was nearly an hour long, granted, the production made it like a movie but I was gripped.
@@RhysFisheslove the longer form content - I set myself up with a beer with your videos and just chill watching some first class fishing. You make absolutely quality content btw… your b roll and overall videography/cinematography is some of the best when it comes to fishing channels on YT.
Was unfortunate you lost the footage on the other Scottish fisheries Rhys, hope to see more videos when life calms down a bit for you, your videos were always the ones that gave me the best buzz watching 🎣
I find your videos both inspirational and frightening - that latter for both of your abilities to catch - the logic always makes sense but the sill level is well beyond me - thanks as ever for great content!
That's very kind of you. Some days are better than others and don't doubt yourself, the methods and ways we caught the fish are easily doable by you. Just go out there and give them a try :)
Another great video Rhys, full of great tips. I love the craic between you and your Dad, reminds me of me and my father when we used to clay shoot together. Can I ask, would you be able to do a video explaining the different makes and types of fluorocarbon you use and why. I only use airflo, so it would be interesting to see your view on this. Watching your channel has help me improve my catch returns, thank you from a fellow Welshman 🏴
Hi Rhys great video as always but could I ask would there be any chance you could do a short video on your rod holder I’ve seen them on Amazon and eBay but I was going to fix one to my box for boat fishing but i see from this video your carrying it round the bank I love to see how it’s made up please Kind regards Adam 👍
It’s worth buying one from Knitsley mill fisheries Adam. We’ve made our own in the past but none come close to The craftsmanship and design of this one.
Good video.. You should try dare valley Fishery as you like travel its a geat place to fish. Some lovely fish to and the view is geat... Tight lines dale 🎣
Nice video! I want to fish in reservoirs with buzzer, how I attach best the flies to the fly line? I nos use a clove knot fly line to 6 lb fluoro where I then tie the flyes. Is there better options for straightlining such as using loops or rings anywhere in th system or tapered pieces of mono before the fluoro? I use intermediate fly line. thanx in advance.
@@RhysFishes Sorry I didnt explain myself well. I m missing the First part of leader construction. You go straight from fly line to 6 LB fluoro without any taper ? How you attach the leader via loop or clove knot?
@@Wilder2001 ah ok. So yes, I attach straight through fluorocarbon without any taper. The only time I will taper my leader is for dry fly. Otherwise I don’t need to taper my leader personally. The tippet is attatched to the fly line via a double Davy knot
Hi Rhys, love your videos, I have picked up a lot of good info to improve my fishing. I will put them into practice as soon as I get chance to get on the lakeside. One question mate, can yo give me any details on your rod holder, the white plastic one that holds three rods. I would love to make one as it looks extremely useful at keeping your rods safe on the ground and would help keep the lines from tangling. Hope you can help me. All the best, and looking forward to more videos
Loved the video bud, lots of useful information. When you said you would use a shipman’s in the calm rather than a cul d what is a cul d please? Am I right in thinking that it’s a cdc parachute buzzer. Please forgive my ignorance. Cheers
That's right David. Any form of CDC pattern I mean generally. Because CDC patterns tend to sit on the surface film rather than in, and on a flat calm this is often the most key factor that differentiates a take from a refusal
Awesome video mate. I find when straight lining or washing line with three buzzers my floating line sinks at the tip. I I leaving it out there while setting up another rod then the whole think sinks tip first (I'm taking leaving it for about 5 minutes). Does this seam right to you? Its probably my biggest challenge when nymphing
Great video Rhys! Thanks so much for sharing. These longer format videos can get a little tedious but your editing made this one fly by. Here in the States still water fishing is still not super popular, but I love it. I have learned a ton from channels like yours, Lyndsay Simpson, Phil Rowley have taught me so much! I use a lot of "U.K." methods with good success. Tight Lines!
I always find it odd how River trout fishing completely dominates stillwater trout fishing in the US. But I guess that leaves more fishing available for you. Glad you found the video beneficial, tightlines 🎣
Another cracker of a video rhys 👏 there spoiled in Aberdeen with the insch and lockter being so close to each other . Don't know if you noticed the lake was dug out in the shape of a trout . Keep the vids coming mate , loving them 👍
This is what the sport is all about , helping out the youngsters. Well done buddy. Another great video. 👍🏻
Thanks Marc!
Excellent video Rhys and the smile on that young lads face is what fishing is all about. 👌
Couldn't agree more Bob
Good on you for helping the young lad, his face said it all. Great video
Many thanks David

Thank you ginger, it's a long way from a masterpiece but we're glad you were able to get something out of it.🎣
Great video Rhys & Jeremy thoroughly enjoyed it guys 🐟🎣🐟🎣🏴🏴
Thanks Lawrence
I would say your best video to date imo....Great how you have gone into detail of methods and setup, more of the same please
Thanks for the kind feedback Paul
Sitting in the garden sun shinning jack and coke in hand while watching one of your videos, can't beat it. ❤
your directly responsible allan :)

Worth a go at this time of year. Tightlines!
@@RhysFishes cheers Rhys, tightlines to you as well bud 👍👍
Love this guy so much!!!
Thanks Simon
Good to see the vid Rhys. I have hung my rods up for summer atm, back at it in September or October
Not a bad shout. My time is currently spent chasing bass with this warm weather we have
@@RhysFishes not many bass where I am!
A fantastic pair of anglers there.
Thank you rob
Made my evening watching the video, thank you. Wind put a chop on the water
Thanks Peter. Glad you found it enjoyable.
Another vid, and over half an hour long? You’re spoiling us mate!

It’s worth buying one from Knitsley mill fisheries Adam. We’ve made our own in the past but none come close to
The craftsmanship and design of this one.
Never heard of this fishery before but,now I have 👍
Worth a visit Robert!
@@RhysFishes all ready planned Rhys,I knew about insch up north but not lochter.not far from Glasgow so soon,cheers for the amazing introduction video
Learning all the time thanks can I ask where do you get those white rod holders cheers
Knitsley Mill fishery :)
Another excellent and informative video lads 👏
Cheers Joseph
Great video again sir could I ask what hooks do you prefer for drys like shipmans buzzer pattern and few others
Hannak H230's :)
Another amazing video guys.
Thanks Eldon
I'd say it's not comorant damage but the resident Osprey. Pretty sure you were at loch Insch same day as we were there! It was a tough day.
That’s a very good point and you’re probably right.
Well done both again
Cheers Steve
Great video and magnificent ending mentoring the next generation.
Thanks Jade
Great video again mate 👏🏻🎣
Thanks Kevin
Superb pal, really enjoyed that 👍
Cheers Lindsay. Hope the laptop makes a recovery!
Good video.. You should try dare valley Fishery as you like travel its a geat place to fish. Some lovely fish to and the view is geat... Tight lines dale 🎣
It’s on the list of places to try
Excellent fishing again,defo make look easy on hard windy days.keep up it up..do you use your own tyings or do you buy your flys..
Thanks James. A mix of our own flies and shop bought flies from Fario Fly
Nice video! I want to fish in reservoirs with buzzer, how I attach best the flies to the fly line? I nos use a clove knot fly line to 6 lb fluoro where I then tie the flyes.

Attach them via droppers on a three turn water knot. As seen here: ua-cam.com/video/m3VH6x486YE/v-deo.html

Great video Rhys. I’m lucky as this fishery is on my door step. Keep up the good work. Also can you tell me where you got your rod caddy from?
It’s from Knitsley mill fisheries 😊

Rhys, what's the reason for dipping your reels in the water.
Intermediate lines are generally painful to cast and remain dryer than conventional fly lines. So a quick dip at the start avoid this issue
Rhys, thanks for the reply, I'll use that wee tip from now on with my intermediate lines.
Loved the video bud, lots of useful information. When you said you would use a shipman’s in the calm rather than a cul d what is a cul d please? Am I right in thinking that it’s a cdc parachute buzzer. Please forgive my ignorance. Cheers

Does this seam right to you? Its probably my biggest challenge when nymphing
If you leave it 5 minutes then yes it will do that. Apply some mucilin to the end of the fly line before your start fishing

Knitsley mill fishery
Another class video mate. What nylon/gut are you using at the moment? Trying to find a decent one had a few snap’s recently
Celtic blob company fluorocarbon
Can i ask please, on start of video you dipped your reel Why?
Helps to stop your line tangling being bone dry on the first cast
Exactly this ^^^
Those navy jackets you both have look very good. Can i ask What make they are?
Loop
As Michelle mentioned, Loop :)
Those jackets you guys are wearing looks decent, I’ve been trying to find a good quality jacket, what brand me are those mate?
They’re loop jackets. Honestly blown away by they’re quality. Great for days where you’ve got medium rain and wind / cold
@@RhysFishes awesome I’ll check them out, thanks for the reply mate
Did you fish menteith while up in Scotland Rhys?
Not on this trip Mike, but have fished it plenty of times when I lived there 🙂
When’s the burn house video coming out Rhys ??
That'll be coming this Autumn!
Rhys, are you ok man? Did not see any new posts.
Hey! Thanks for your message. All good here. Got married this year, had a baby last year so taken a good break from videos for the time being 🙂
**👍
What is that you are carrying the rods in on the bank
It’s a rod holder from
Knitsley mill fishery
Nice video m8 like how u explain everything ur doing 👌 so who won u or ur dad? 😂 cant wait to see the harelaw vid m8 top notch content 👏🎣
This one wasn't a competition but I think he had me in the end. I was too busy experimenting with methods 😂
Another cracker of a video rhys 👏 there spoiled in Aberdeen with the insch and lockter being so close to each other . Don't know if you noticed the lake was dug out in the shape of a trout . Keep the vids coming mate , loving them 👍
