Well done a great video and real nice to see traditional wet flies being fished and catching too. I learned to fly fish using traditional wet flies and I'd still mostly fish wets .

Can you explain your retrieve(if there is one)? Are you inching it back through the current, or just letting it swing round, hauling it back and going again? Many thanks.. I want to give the wet fly a go this season

Heading to the River Fergus in Clare later, it's only a few hundred yards from my house. Well done, I love wet fly fishing it's traditional and feels less cumbersome than nymph's and dries. Got my fly rod back from America needed to get the top half rebuilt, it snapped lifetime guarantee. The lake is full now, so Lough Inchiquinn in Corofin empties into the Fergus and it's crystal clear water and a dept of 4 ft nice flow perfect for the wets

Swinging downstream must be imitating fish fry. I usually fish dead drift with nymphs casting upstream.

What’s the lead fly called and how long is the dropper ? Nice fishing man👍😎🇮🇪🇺🇦

Great video, I've only started fly fishing rivers this year, couldn't catch anything until I watched, since watching this I've caught trout almost every time I'm out now 👌 thanks

Do u let any line off as the fly swings downstream or is the line at a constant length

Great Video, Best Regards from Balkan (Macedonia)

Few pulls of the line before you lift will enduce more takes. Good video

Great video, when you say mend the line, what do you mean,I'm just learning the trade,

U could be puting the fish back in better

Going there Saturday should I use a strike indicator

What wading stick do you use, and do you wear a life jacket?

Great video enjoyed that. Going there sat to fish standard lakes. Using indicator for the 1st time any advice. Thank

Great video and quite informative- not too many Irish river wet fly videos on YT. Just curious- do you allow a belly to form in your line during the swing? Judging by your mending I would assume not, and that you keep the fly line straight. Just curious as I'd like to know more about wet fly- on my local river I'm plagued by different speeds of current which make my line+ flies go all over the place during the swing despite mending. Happy fishing!

Thanks for watching! The catching starts around 5:10 mins

Great video mate! I'm just starting out in fly fishing.. you make it look easy 😂

Hi Simon, Great video. I'm a novice to river fly fishing so I'm on a steep learning curve. I always thought you had to fish upstream otherwise the fly will not act naturally? Or with wet flies do you feel comfortable keeping them hanging in the downstream current? Most of my fishing will be on rivers that look identical, if not narrower. Thanks, Chris

I'm in Belfast mate looking for some good trout water what river is this .b4 I head to donegal

Sweet defo gonna give this a shot

An excellent video - thanks for sharing - I have taken the liberty of sharing this to my fishing club facebook page - I hope you don't mind - I am the only angler that ever fishes wet flies on our beat and I hope to inspire some others to try something different - everyone is getting into Czech / Euro nymphing and forget that these traditional methods still catch plenty of fish - Cheers - Steve.

I went there today my first was mad it was strong

Looks a great river....wish we had bigger rivers nearby.....your very lucky to be gifted with such a good river. Great Video. Tight Lines. Thanks

Nice film. Good to see wetfly in use. It is currently out of fashion but I still use it because it still catches fish!

Couple there seemed to have their lips ripped off!

The best way to catch fish there is go to the closest lake and go to peg no.1 and fish a nine foot leader and a bright yellow mop fly under a strike indicator and cast near the margins to your left and you’ll catch fish all day.

Today a tagged fish and a golden albino rainbow trout both took my fly at the same time but I didn’t land either.

Is the expensive specimen lake worth the £25? Also, I was out there today in the cheap lake and caught 6 fish, lost dozens and the biggest being about 10lb

what rod are you using

Nice wee one

First

What's the name of at river

What flies were you on.

Was it the 6 mile

Where is this

i got a 12lb trout in that lake it was a good fisght

Great catches man, cant wait for the season to open up.

First

i was out there today using a strike indicator and using 14 lb leader and i broke of on a huge one. The closest I came to catching a fish was catchin one in my net who was swimming around dazed looking

Do dry flies work there

Absolutely brilliant vid. You should do more

I’ve only been there twice and I absolutely loved it. Try bread on the bait lake the fish in there fight like 10 lb pike

would a wee 8 ft 6 5 weight fly rod do for there fly lakes

nice trout!!! can you help me on my road to 500 subs? keep up the good work

Fuckin beautiful

uhh i cant wait to get out there... im going next weekend again on a charter for rockfish... always a blast... would love to see a catch and cook video maybe.. good luck out there.
