Hi, it’s from Angling active, rubber spoon dual mesh, I got the smaller head as the bigger was out of stock, I should have waited to get the bigger as anything 5lb or bigger is a very tight fit 👍

They are there for when you need them or want them, I can’t stand them unless it’s windy to protect my eyes or sunny to prevent the glare. 👍👌 Hope you enjoyed the edit and seeing such a magnificent specimen.

Right handed mate 👍 most use the left hand to reel but I grew up with it right handed and learnt that way so did Rinalen. Most folks do left handed but that’s what works for them 👍.

@@themidlandsflyfisherman to be fair your reel is on the correct way for fly fishing, good work.

Fishing the dries are always great fun, something I want to work on more next year 👍

That’s very kind of you and glad you enjoy the vids, fun to make also 👍

Agree, one of the best 👍

Stunning, even when I don’t catch it’s a great day out 👍

Rainbows, Browns and Tiger trout, not many but a few 👍

Hi Jason, Yes I recall, I do watch every boat to see what retrieve, casts, lines used etc for those little bits of information that can help. Glad to hear you managed one to the net and a good one too, well done. Like I said we really did not see many rods bending like we have in the past, its getting on in the season now and the fishing is getting tougher but the rewards will be bigger for those bigger, wiser and grown on fish. I learn more from my failures than my success, even my last trip yesterday I took 30 minutes to eat lunch, put the rod down and take it all in and enjoy being out and about and sharing a boat with a mate - I still blanked apart from a pike and it was freezing but still good. Tight lines and thanks for the positive comments.

Hi Simon, I have a few baby dolls in my box, I must be honest not used them ever but I know what it is and have a few in there. I would say it is definitely worth the trip, to be there, on the water out in the fresh air and just being involved and fishing, catching would be a bonus and even though I do like to catch, I still enjoy being out and about. It can be very frustrating at times but I am learning to enjoy the day for what it is. Tight lines and hope you get out and have a go on the popper fry 😊👍

Thanks and glad you enjoy them ☝️👍

Thanks, generally all my snakes are just single hooks, this was all they had in the shop but thanks for advice. They are barbless and the hook came out in the net ☝️👍

Barbless and it came out in the net 👍

I was seriously thinking about it mate, head in hands moment for sure, escalated way quicker than I thought it would 😖 at least I got a few nice fish 🎣

I have learnt now, expensive lessons and not to be repeated 😂😂👌

@@themidlandsflyfisherman close calls will happen, but it's key not to panic

That’s crazy, yeah I edited a lot of 🤣🤣🤣

I totally agree, I always try to see the beauty and positives in each of our trips out on the water. Each time there are learnings to be had and kept for the next time. 👍👌

Thank you very much, for me to fish with my boys is all about sharing a fun day all together. When we are older we will look back at these videos and remember them well. Glad you enjoy the videos 👍😊

Thanks and so glad you enjoy them, next one is of Ghyll head that we fished the day after for a half day 👍👌👌

It is such a beautiful fishery, fish everywhere and yes you need to be dialled in with the smaller naturals to entice the takes. Just not my day but still a wonderful day out with the kids and will be back in the Autumn. Always on my list to fish when I am in the Lakes District.

Thanks for the tips Mike, I have a bunch of top hats in all the colours and sizes, and you are right, fewer flies, smaller and static should give me a much better chance. My 4 fly set up is around 16-20ft straight 8lb or 6lb fluorocarbon with each spaced around 4ft from the point fly going back up to the actual fly line. Sometimes I use 3 flies and other times, like at Ravensthorpe I used 5 flies on a 3-4ft space to cover all depths when fishing straight line nymphs of buzzers. Hope it helps.

It was indeed, catching fish is better than not catching fish 🤣🤣🤣
