My fly fishing adventures across various venues in Scotland. A selection of videos using dry fly and wet fly tactics.
Woodburn 11th November 2024.
The final outing of 2024.
A good end to the season.
Still managing to tempt fish to our dry flies.
Great sport with Woodburn's rainbows.

It's November but we still managed to get fish up to our dry flies. The weather has been exceptionally mild for the time of year. Our next outing will be the last of the season. Regardless of the result from our final venue it has been an exceptionally good season with lots of large fish brought to the net.

A mixture of flies were used to tempt the fish. Snakes, grunters and sedges were all deployed. Fantastic sport with large rainbows. Dry fly is always my preference and to bring fish to the surface to take a dry in late October is exceptional. Lets hope the mild weather continues.

A difficult day for me. The fish didn't want to take my flies off the surface till mid afternoon. My friend David had a monster of a fish on dry fly. I eventually landed three good fish. Great sport with Woodburn's high quality rainbows.

We were fishing together for the first time. John is an excellent angler and hooked many fish. A move to the western end of the Lake produced some quality specimens. Great sport with hard fighting rainbows.

Challenging conditions once again. At this time of year flat calms are common. Good sport with powerful rainbows.

The fish were not feeding on the surface. Midge tip and intermediate lines were our choice. The zonker was the "fly" that dominated the takes. Good sport with the Lake's rainbows.

Not ideal weather conditions due to blazing sunshine. The fish still came to our flies. Great sport in difficult conditions.

Bright conditions were the norm. for most of the day. Late afternoon the fish switched on. Great sport on dry flies with some large trout.

Conditions were not the best at the start of the session. As the day progressed the fish were keen to take our flies. A good day with hard fighting rainbows. Maureen hooked and dropped two good fish.
Orkney 2024.

The annual trip to Orkney proved to be a challenge. Weather was the key factor, from flat calms to being blown off the lochs due to high winds. Surprisingly rain made only a brief appearance. Thankfully some days were perfect conditions. Wild brown trout require a different approach to that of rainbows and tactics need to be tailored individually to each hour of the day. All in all an enjoyable...

The weather for early July was horrendous. We cut the session short as the weather deteriorated as the day went on. It was only 9 degrees by mid afternoon. The fish were hard to come by but some sport was achieved on dry fly.

Our first outing to Harelaw this season. Numerous fish rising but they were difficult to tempt. Maureen stuck with dry fly all day and managed a few to the net. I have been plagued by pike this year as you will know if you watched the latest video at the Lake of Menteith.
On your outing that day, can you remember the boat number, strange question, but my boat seats would fit fine on its seats, cheers.
Sorry I can't remember but all Coulam boats have the same seats.

@@johnmilne1758 Glad you enjoyed the video. Next week is my last day of the season. Off for some winter sun next Saturday.
I was up again yesterday ken nothing till 2pm then got 7 on the dries
Seems to be the trend at the moment. Nothing before 2pm. I was the same the other day. Going on Monday for the last outing of the year.
A lot of heavy breathing there Ken!
Yes Charlie my back is killing me. I get a lot of pain when fishing off the bank.
@ I’m the same Ken. It is not comfortable standing and casting. We never got the instruction manual for getting old did we?
Is there any pike fishing in Harray or Orkney and can you take your own boat 😊
No pike fishing in Orkney. Yes you can take your own boat.
Great stuff does these type of fisheries stay open during the winter months 👍
Yes they do.
@ many thanks 👍
Well in guys bonny fish
That was a monster was at woodburn yesterday not the best of days weather wise very cold and quite windy only rose two fish on drys missed both then changed to orange daddy two diawa Bach's ended with 5 one about 10 pounds two casts later one about 7 pounds the rest about 3 to 4 pounds every fish took traffic light diawa Bach's had a few go for daddy lost a couple on it some place for big fish
Thank You Kenny for the wee film . The day turned out be ok after long spells of little activity and catching that big fish was a bonus . So late in the season and dries are still the killer method 😉🎣🎣
Glad you enjoyed it.
Another good video Ken 👏👏👏👍🎣🐟🐟Going up on Friday 👍
Hope you enjoy
Perfect Ken
Thank you.
Great day in fine company
Should you not be on barbless hooks ken
I have been releasing fish on barbed and barbless hooks for many years.My personal opinion is barbless tear at the entry point especially on larger hooks.Barbed hooks don't move and in my opinion do less damage. I use barbless on smaller sizes from 10's down to size 20.
Looks like barbed hooks 🤦♂️
It a good pattern that one, do you put the antenna on it , I left them out and still catch plenty even in the wild lochs 👍
Yes I put antenna on it. Tight lines.Ken.
Well done Ken
Thanks John. Hope you enjoyed the video.
Well in guys nice day out
Well done Ken enjoy your videos going to the lake on Friday 🤞👏👏👍🎣🐟🐟
Tight lines Bill. There are some big fish in the Lake at the moment.
A good days fishing well done both😊
Thanks. We enjoyed our day.
Nice video. Fished the lake of mentith for the first time the day before. Couldn’t believe how hard the fish fought - special place.
Yes they are some of the strongest fish you will encounter. Tight lines. Ken.
Another gid video mate
Glad your the videos. Cheers Ken.
High ken I'm on the lake on Monday was it all snakes and znokers and rabbits? And what lines u recommended?
No. We also got them on diawl bachs. If you see fish moving start with a floater if not a midge tip. As you know every day is different. Tight lines. Ken.
@kenbruce1950 thanks 😊 ken, enjoy ur videos. Il let u no how I get on.
Great video again sir last few times been to woodburn have done well on Bob's bit's plain black with pearl rib and a bibio one size ten but on a b 160 hook
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for subscribing.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for subscribing.
Great meeting you on the day Kenny , glad the Sedges did the trick for you
Dont need a net for catch and release. On a lot of fisheries nets aren't allowed if fishing catch and release 👍
It's probably their first day out.😅
Great action some crackers there 👍
That drives me nut not using the net, the fish would have a better chance of survival.
Every fish swam away strongly.
That would drive me nuts , go back and get the net 😢
Nice video Ken. Some nice fish there although the weather wasn’t good kind to us. Food and the company was excellent though.
Thanks for your kind words Charlie.
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Nice fish Ken well done 🎣👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
Why didn’t you remove the fab you had forceps 🤔🤔
Floating lines? On the lake tmrw
The fish are high up. Floating line should be ok.
@@kenbruce1950 d5 and a snake lol rolly polly retrieve at the cages. Caught 8
Gid wee video mate .
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Hi ken. Great to see you & the mrs fishing away
Glad you liked the video.
You need to take care of the wild brownies when unhooking and returning them , they are the future fish you’ll catch the next time you’re there .
All fish were released safely and swam away strongly.
A good watch 👍
Thanks 👍
