Nice to meet a fellow Vestie 😁

It’s well worth a trip back there. Really nice venue

I agree, we’ve seen too many venues close over the last year. Also Bewl is so big it feels like there is space for everyone to fish all methods and never both each other. Im defo going back for another try this summer.

Those are both a bit of mission for me but they are both on my list. I’ll have to try and get up to those stillwaters this year. Thanks for the suggestion James

A few of the people I was with said that it used to be a great trout fishery before any meathod was introduced. Nice that it’s fly only from the bank and I enjoyed fishing a massive Stillwater for a change.

@@TightlinesandscreamingreelsIt wouldn't exist as a fishery had it not moved to allowing any method from the boat. There is still some top trout fishing to be had at Bewl from the bank with the fly rod, I've had 14 out in 2 visits this season already and lost lots too. It isn't an easy water, it rewards patience and mobility and naturally isn't worth fishing from the bank in the hot summer months for obvious reasons. We are already seeing other trout waters in the UK shut their doors because they won't adapt. Bewl has and as a local I am glad for it. There is more than enough bank to escape from the hustle of the main boat areas if you are so offended by any method anglers whose cash is allowing thousands of trout to be stocked in the reservoir!

@@TheDStee I totally agree. It’s such a big Stillwater with loads of variety. We were just talking about arrange another trip there now the season has started again. Maybe see you there in a few months.

@@TightlinesandscreamingreelsApril is a great month to be there! Good luck :)

@@TheDStee thanks for the tip Dan. Thats next months trip sorted then 😁

I sent a link to the Albury Facebook page but not sure if it went to Cameron Craigs specifically. Such a lovely venue, I should go back and do another video at Vale End soon!

We saw a lot of trout moving and there was a recent stock of trout so I think it was just one of those days. Beautiful venue, I’m definitely going to give it another try and see if I can tempt a trout next time 😃 Have you got any places you would suggest to fish for trout for my next adventure?

Pike city last time I went there

@@davevincent5453 was that off the bank or from a boat?

Clearly not a good fisherman. As it’s been great there so far!

@@STAJAR96 I I would suggest you read the reports before insulting my competence ask Bewl water staff how many fly anglers they have lost over the last 10years I and hundreds like me wouldn’t waist there money but seeing as your obviously so talented you carry on and enjoy your fishig

I’ll admit that one of the great things about the Sharpes reels is that not only do they have a reversible drag system but you can also make them silent. However I really like to hear my reels scream!

Ha ha ha! That fish fought like a shopping trolly!

😂😂😂

It’s a big old place isn’t it, when I first decided to take a look I was floored at how huge it is and that I didn’t even know it was there even though I was driving past it every week. It definitely deserves more of an explore, think I’ll head back there later in the year. I’m really glad you like the videos, as you know they take an age to put together so it’s awesome to hear that they are hitting the mark. I’m already subbed to your channel. Looking forward to the next upload. Tightlines my Wookiee friend

Thanks very much that’s really kind. I’m trying to get as many videos out as possible. I really appreciate the kind words! More videos to come in the next month or so!

Thanks mate, we didn’t have great amount of success but we only really fished one bay. I had the two touches that are in the video but we saw a lot moving. I’m looking forward to heading back there are trying either the boat or another spot. Glad you liked the video! Really appreciate it.

Someone else mentioned this to me. I’ve never heard about it until then. Must give this a try but I like the idea of putting it in an eye dropper, nice and compact. Thanks for the tip Craig.

Thanks so much Grandpa Chris! I’ve tried to create slightly different videos for the ones I see and glad you enjoyed it and the vibe of the music. I just subbed to your channel too! Great to be connected and thanks a bunch for the follow.

Thanks very much !

grumpy pants the music is relaxing

Sorry you dont like music on your fishing videos, i thought it was nice and relaxing and means you dont have to hear me breathing the whole time 😂😂😂😂 either way thanks for your comment and thanks for watching (a little bit) of the video

Thanks for this note Dai, ive been adding this at the beginning of my more recent videos after your suggestion. Thanks very much for the tip, i might even start thinking about doing some voice over while im fishing but i tend to not say much and just enjoy the water. Thanks again for the suggestion, i really appreciate it.

Thanks Derick! It’s one of the things I LOVE about the old sharpes reels, they sounds brilliant! You can set them to be silent but that would be a waste if you ask me! Cheers for watching

Really? Just normal fairy liquid? Surely that froths up in the water? I’m totally intrigued!!! And you are right. I do need more woolly buggers! Back to the fly shop it is 😄

@Tightlinesandscreamingreels I've never actually needed the fairy liquid before. But apparently it helps if there is scum on the surface of the water. I also keep a small bandage in my vest incase the worst should happen!

@@GLNZFishing I agree on the first aid kits, I’m going to put together another video about the extras that I take with me which will include drones and GoPros and all the camera jazz but also my backup small bag that stays in the car or fishing hut with things like first air kit and spare pair of glasses (and loads and loads of batteries!)

I’m not sure that we get those in Wales, UK. But it did feel like something from the salmon family

@@Tightlinesandscreamingreels ahh Wales yea probably not they are a US Pacific Northwest and Great lakes Strain of steelhead. Its definitly in the salmoniod family though

@@thomasjefferson4662 so can I say I’ve caught my first salmon!!!! (I’m not sure this counts)

@@Tightlinesandscreamingreels yep. So your Welsh? Im sure you are aware that the Welsh Language is very similar to anceint Hebrew! Funny that I didnt learn that till about a year ago at age 38. Kinda proves that the lost 10 tribes went to Europe. The fake ones running the show will never allow that truth to go mainstream.

Ha ha. I literally did that this week!!!! From now on rods first and then pack everything else!!!!

@Tightlinesandscreamingreels ha yeah buddy I'm just teasing. I came from your reddit post. Channel looks good some. Nice cuts and good shots. Looking forward to seeing how it grows

@@thebigeasy87 I thought that was a massive coincidence 😂😂 thanks for the kind words buddy. Still early days but enjoying filming some of my fishing journey. Thanks for the sub! See you in reddit 😍

Sharpes of Aberdeen ‘Gordon 2’ 5 weight. About 20 years old but I’ve found a lot that have barely been used and still feel like they are brand new

@@TightlinesandscreamingreelsHad a mark 1 5# 9’ years ago love another

I see them come up a lot on eBay. I had a few mark ones but I love the wood finish on the handle of the Gordon 2’s. Basically the same rod but it looks pretty 😋

Love the video buddy top stuff! I live near Guildford and looking to try albury soon. Only been living in surrey since January so need to get out trying the local trout lakes, you been to anymore in surrey worth a mention? Appreciated

@@scottwoods6097 well I can’t recommend Albury enough, its beautiful and Weston Lakes and Vale End are both great in their own right. The other places I’ve tried are a bit far away like Brick Farm Lakes or Bewl Water (video being edited as we speak). Frensham is also really nice! Drop me a line if you are heading towards any of those and I’ll come with and make a wee video! Hope you are enjoying Surrey.

Does it?!? I’ve always thought the Sharpes reels looked similar to Marquis. Love the sound from a vintage reel!

@@Tightlinesandscreamingreels I've got a video where I was fishing with the marquis on a 4 weight rod.. Fun on a #4 weight It's titled.. Have a watch and a listen and see what you think

@Caithnessflyfisher sweet, I’ll check that out now for the comparison!

We’re gonna need a bigger boat!

Thanks Rupert. Yes those fish at the end of the video were real runners weren’t they.

Ha ha. I try! Some days are more successful than others.

Thanks buddy, it was great to get back to mid wales and try my hand at the Severn again

I managed to catch up with it thankfully but it was nearly a complete disaster

He most certainly did 😂😂😂😂

It’s an incredible landscape

It really is!
