lovely video Davie, hope it's the first of many this season. Water looks in good condition even if the temperatures are a bit below, but nice to see fish starting to move.
Useful reminders of the techniques to be employed when the going is tough but the weather makes for a good day out on the water, thanks for encouraging me to join you on the water!
Eventually got round to watching the video, brilliant as usual. The quality is excellent. I feel like I'm on the water with you. Beautiful stretch of river and some cracking brownies caught. Keep up the great work 👍
Superb Davie. I was at Enterkine for a couple of hours that day, was plenty rising when I got to the river, but typically it all stopped as I was tackling up. Still, just great to be on the water again, seeing some nice fish rising around tarholm, hopefully this east wind leaves us and brings some warmer air. Tight lines sir.
Great video Davie, I was down at tarholm bridge today managed 8 in total on the synthetic quill nymph the same one you tied a while back! I found they were in the head of the pools. Looking forward to seeing some more videos. All the best
All that wild garlic you walked through at the start, pick a few bunches, clean and blanch in boiling water for 60 seconds, fantastic with spuds and any meat, your missing out Davy, great for the heart, blood pressure, and full of vitamins.
Hi Mel Morda, To be honest when I was walking through it the smell of the wild garlic did make me think how is the best way to use it as it is everywhere at this time of year..I'm going to try your recipe so I'll let you know what I think and thank you.. All the very best Davie
Lovely to see clear water. I fished opening day on the Wiltshire Avon today and it was over the banks in places, charging through and the colour of mushroom soup. Managed a wee brownie on a small streamer to save the blank.
Great stuff. And for those who believe it must be upstream dry only, and to seen rising fish - this day was a lesson in itself. If you can't see fish rising, then you can still fish the river. Because he was flexible in his approch, Davie was able to say he enjoyed the day.
Greetings from Norway Mr Flyguru, nice to see you doing a few casts, here where i live basicly on the bank of the Gaula the river has a white very hard surface so just testing new rods and lines is still slightly challenging but we are able to in the very low part near the river mouth.
Great to see another of these fishing videos Davie! It's been helpful to me as I sometimes struggle a bit in the early season - I'm also guilty of jumping right in and casting, casting, casting, and not paying enough attention to what's going on with the river. Your videos inspired me to take a leaf out your book and take my time, slow down and enjoy being out on the water - and it paid off, I caught my first brownie of the season a couple of days ago (using an Olive Jingler tied as per one of your other videos, I might add!) Thanks for all that you do Davie, all the best and tight lines!
Had a wee go at the stretch below the bridge today on the wets, worked a treat, thanks for sharing the different tactics, it’s really helpful, got a lovely brownie on the top dropper, spiders on the swing,
Hi Davey. Nice day on the stream to share with us. I fished last week here in NJ USA and picked up 5 rainbows on an elk hair caddis taken as a small black stonefly. We’re just getting started here too. Thanks for showing us your stream and some brownies. Best wishes. Tom T from NJ.
Nice one Davie, haven’t tried the bottom end yet, couple of nice brownies too! Got my first of the season today on the Lugar, beautiful up there today where the river cuts through the sandstone
Really pleased you got such a nice day for your first trip out. In North Yorks the waterhen bloa is normally a reliable early season fly, particularly when there is a hatch of large dark olives. Lovely brownies in the net 👍
Nice day on the river. Bravo! I always enjoy seeing how and where other anglers do it in different parts of the world. I've enjoyed your tying vids for many years now and am pleased to see you in the water. Was the water you were fishing public? Day ticket? Club water? I'm aware that fishing in Scotland and the UK can be quite different than what I experience here in the States. Fare thee well, Davie.
So inspiring. I always learn so much watching you. Next time, please show the distance between the dry and the dropper and how you rigged the wet flies.
Hi Davie love your videos but my dad back in the day when the rivers where full of fish , especially here in Wales and the Sewyn where running you could walk across the water on their backs he would say ,well he always used to pick me up on the way I carried my rod as he told me never to carry it with the rod sticking out in front ,always carry it with it sticking out behind you as sooner or later you are going to walk into a bank ,gate ,tree that will lsnap your tip in a heart beat
Great vid Davie! What would you say is your go to dry flee and go to wet flee on the river? Perhaps a daft question as I suppose it depends on the conditions and situation?
Morning Allan, Traditional wets like the Waterhen Bloa, Partridge and Orange, Woodcock and Hare's Ear and the Snipe and Purple would be my best wets at this time of year and dries like the Olive Quill, Grey Quill, Lark and Grey and March Brown tyed in the traditional styles just using hackles and wing quills but tying them with CDC or Deer Hair or even combing both can make for a really good patterns but also tying a few in the Dynamite Harry style is certainly worth having as it has caught me many fish over the last few seasons.. All the very best Davie
Hi Sonja, The cast was around 10ft or so , what I do is to pull off two lengths of the widths of my arms and then I would put the dropper in the middle..I'm glad you enjoyed the video.. All the very best Davie
Hi William, I do fish barbless hooks most of the time now as I return almost all my fish though I do like a trout now and then.. All the very best Davie
Hi Branko Radulovic, It was jet engine trails in the sky and it's the most I have saw in a while, many people getting away for Easter.. All the very best Davie
Maybe take a look on you tube at "the dimming" full length documentary. Problem is, if you look at HAARP and SIRRUS you'll find climate change is manufactured.
Tks for taking me on a fishing trip davie. You tired me out now I need a nap😊
Great to see you out and about on the river and catching.....
Saddened at the chemtrailed sky line.
Hi Lefthanderz,
It was great to get out again and I agree there was many sky lines and the most I have seen in a while..
All the very best Davie
lovely video Davie, hope it's the first of many this season. Water looks in good condition even if the temperatures are a bit below, but nice to see fish starting to move.
Lovely videos, the tempo of them is the best, not all catching fish. Stunning scenery and great tips, will put to good use, thanks 🙏

It's good in a cheese toastie as well! Very mild taste compared to garlic cloves from the shops👍
Lovely to see clear water. I fished opening day on the Wiltshire Avon today and it was over the banks in places, charging through and the colour of mushroom soup. Managed a wee brownie on a small streamer to save the blank.
Good to see you another season at the river.
All the best in this new trout season.
Always a pleasure to watch the Master at work!!!
Thanks for bringing us along with you. Looking forward to the next trip.

Beautiful day , really enjoyed the video, will be fishing your Grannom patterns this weekend as they will be starting any day!!! 👍👍
Looks like it was a beautiful day!
Thanks for taking us along.

You certainly got an amazing day out, what a beautiful river, I must try it some time, Colin 🏴
Super produkcja pozdrowienia 👍💪

Looks like a nice river. Thanks for sharing!

Great video Davie... enjoyed being out with you. 👍
Nice to see you back on the river. 🎣😎👍🏻
Good videos as usual your fly tying videos are very good
you just can't beat fishing rivers, I love the fly and stick float fishing
Nice one Davie, haven’t tried the bottom end yet, couple of nice brownies too! Got my first of the season today on the Lugar, beautiful up there today where the river cuts through the sandstone
Many thanks, Davie! The Waterhen is usually good to me, as well. 👍
It was a glorious spring day for it. We were up the Lochs today. Waters still a bit chilly but theres a few fish moving.
Really pleased you got such a nice day for your first trip out. In North Yorks the waterhen bloa is normally a reliable early season fly, particularly when there is a hatch of large dark olives. Lovely brownies in the net 👍
nice to watch, thanks Davie
We got 1m of snow here in the northern parts of sweden.. just a little bit jelaous right now
Love it

❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍!!!! Деви это супер!
So inspiring. I always learn so much watching you. Next time, please show the distance between the dry and the dropper and how you rigged the wet flies.
Nice video Davie. We will be down there soon enough but with sprayers on our back killing the Giant Hogweed. Its hard going up the Overmills bank.
Green grass, open water, and hungry trout. Nice to see!
Donna worry bout the noise from the roadway. If we were fishin with you, we hear it too! ;-)
Nice water Davie. Too early in the year for my old bones. I prefer drys also
Nice casting!
Cannae wait tae get doon the river noo davie 😊
Hi Davie love your videos but my dad back in the day when the rivers where full of fish , especially here in Wales and the Sewyn where running you could walk across the water on their backs he would say ,well he always used to pick me up on the way I carried my rod as he told me never to carry it with the rod sticking out in front ,always carry it with it sticking out behind you as sooner or later you are going to walk into a bank ,gate ,tree that will lsnap your tip in a heart beat
It is incrédibul how is like a river that I know seen longtime ( the dordogne ) maybe they are sister.😃
That's too bad Davie. :) Come visit Montana...there are countless places to fish without traffic noise.
All that wild garlic? 😋😋
Great vid Davie!
What would you say is your go to dry flee and go to wet flee on the river? Perhaps a daft question as I suppose it depends on the conditions and situation?
Morning Allan,
Traditional wets like the Waterhen Bloa, Partridge and Orange, Woodcock and Hare's Ear and the Snipe and Purple would be my best wets at this time of year and dries like the Olive Quill, Grey Quill, Lark and Grey and March Brown tyed in the traditional styles just using hackles and wing quills but tying them with CDC or Deer Hair or even combing both can make for a really good patterns but also tying a few in the Dynamite Harry style is certainly worth having as it has caught me many fish over the last few seasons..

Looks like good water for salmon .
very nice - i lost sound - towards end the brownies - were caught on dropper? which one? and did you still have "sighter" on top?
Hi harleyJune,
They were all caught on the Waterhen Bloa which was on the dropper..
All the very best Davie
I liked the river walk at the start. How long a level 5 pound leader for the wets?
Hi Sonja,
The cast was around 10ft or so , what I do is to pull off two lengths of the widths of my arms and then I would put the dropper in the middle..I'm glad you enjoyed the video..
All the very best Davie
Is most of your fishing done on barbless hooks
Hi William,
I do fish barbless hooks most of the time now as I return almost all my fish though I do like a trout now and then..
All the very best Davie
Ever wonder whats in the chemtrails?
What are those lines in the sky at 2:12???
Globalist agenda.....
Go check out chemtrails.
Hi Branko Radulovic,
It was jet engine trails in the sky and it's the most I have saw in a while, many people getting away for Easter..
All the very best Davie
