The Midlands Fly Fisherman

เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 31 มี.ค. 2022
Fly fishing since I was 6. I love to fish, I have 2 sons and we fish a lot, we are based in the Midlands and have access to so many of the top fisheries in close proximity.
My goal with this channel is to document the trips with my sons to all the places we visit.
Sharing tips and fishing adventures from a non professional fly fisherman while dealing with 2 young and very active young boys learning to fly fish. I'm new to the filming, so any tips and hints are always welcome, please leave comments and share what and where is good.
If i can help anyone learning the sport with what I know then that will make me a happy.

#21 PITSFORD // LATE SUMMER // FLYFISHING FOR TROUT WITH THE BOYS // 27.07.24 #flyfishing
Late July out on Pitsford with the boys. Its been a very hot week with temps in the mid to high twenties and the water is very warm. Not many fish moving but we decide to have a day out until 3pm.
Good to be out on the water and fish the lake in July, every trip I learn something, position, fish behaviour, wind and weather conditions, depth, and so much more. It all adds to the memory bank for next year at the same time.
Hope you enjoy the video.

A short session from 10 days ago, went for a morning and an evening session but it was tough so only used the morning footage. A quick one, slow going but mastering new methods on the di 3 with 3 fly washing line set up, 2 boobies with a natural nymph in the middle. Stunning morning arriving just after 6am to set up and take in the lovely early morning have a quiet coffee and taking it all in. ...

Day 2, wonderful scenery but slow on the fishing. I didn't dial in the tactics for the day and just had one of those days. Still great to have a half day with the boys fishing a stunning venue. There are plenty fish and many big fish just not today. I think a trip in the spring would be one for next time in 2025.

We spent a weekend in the Lake District a few weeks ago and fished two lovely lakes that are apart of the WADAA society. www.lakedistrictfishing.co.uk This short video was about Biglands, we didn't get many fish on the day but it has huge potential and we have fished it once before (see the video on my channel, actually my first ever video).

As I had such a good evening session last week I thought I would return again before the prolonged warmer weather sets in and warms the lake too much turning the fishing off. Compared to last week it was a very different day, last week was 100% heavy cloud, steady breeze and cooler. This day was bright sunshine, hot and very little wind, it called for a different fly set up. A simple change of ...
#16 ELINOR // FLYFISHING FOR TROUT // CHASING THE DADDY LONG LEGS & HOPPERS // SUMMER // 12.06.24
มุมมอง 1.8K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
Elinor was on fire, fish everywhere, rising top and tailing but also chasing insects and launching from the water chasing rising nymphs and bugs that were lifting off. Best method was to suspend two wet daddies between a popper hopper on point and a booby hopper or booby daddy on the top dropper. Short sharp jerks then slow figure of 8, then repeat and watch the fish chase and explode onto the ...

First day out on Farmoor, did not know where to park, took a boat and should have fished from the bank, hot, sunny, flat calm for most of the day but I got results following a few simple steps. Fantastic day out on the water, great fishery and excellent condition fish, loved every minute of the day, well worth a day visit if you have not been before.
#13 BUZZERS + NYMPHS // FLY FISHING FOR TROUT // RAVENSTHORPE // LATE SPRING - bright sun 05.05.24

Our irst trip of the season and I fished with my boys, I was out fished by my 11 year old fishing an indicator with 1ft buzzer and 3ft with a few different flies. I fished a washing line with 4 flies, then lures on a 3 fly cast, then 2 dries and back and forth all day picking up fish at all depths. As the sun came out I went deeper, as the clouds came over I went higher, then the wind dropped a...

I decided to get the old school belly boat or float tube out for a little afternoon paddle at #elinortroutfishery in the hope of getting into a few #rainbowtrout #browntroutfishing but due to the cold winds of late it was a tough day. I had all the belief that I would get plenty more fish than I actually did get, it was also nice to get back in the tube again but I had forgotten just how cold i...

That’s fishing for you we can’t have a red letter day or we would get fed up well I wouldn’t but others might 🐟🎣😂😂
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. 👍👌
Another great video,you may have only caught one but another day of great memories made fishing with your sons, well done sir.
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 👍😊
Another great video keep up the good work pleasure to watch
Thanks and so glad you enjoy them, next one is of Ghyll head that we fished the day after for a half day 👍👌👌
Last fished bigland 35years ago it was always a hard place as you had to go natural flies no big silly stuff.might pop up later in year
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.
Good video. How do you space out your 4 flies? Since you asked for suggestions, when the takes slowed, perhaps fewer flies. I've recently found the top hat buzzer has done well in a flat calm. Both static cast at rising fish and also sometimes pulling slowly. Look forward to your lake district trip.
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.
Looks Like you had a good session.
It was indeed, catching fish is better than not catching fish 🤣🤣🤣
