Hi Alec, Steve Thomson here, it was good to meet you today at Chatton. We've subscribed and listened to a few of your vids on the journey home. No doubt we'll see you around. Cheers 👍
Good to meet today, Steve . Many thanks for subscribing, that much appreciated, hope you enjoy the videos, no doubt I will catch you around the fisheries 👍🏻🎣🐟
Great video Alec, I know a lot of people don't like using an indicator, but it's great for giving your arms a rest , when you've been casting lures all day. I tied a similar minnow recently using stretched mop material in lime green was a killer 👍
Cheers Sean , as you will see on my videos, I love to use many methods to catch fish . you're right , some angler don't like using the indicator (Bung ), but it's a very productive way to present your fly at a constant depth, also as you say, it's great for older anglers who find it hard to cast constantly all day . As long as we all enjoy our fishing, then it's happy days 👍🎣🐟
brilliant reply to the brownie question , love it , well done on another great vid , I feel your pain mate I am 75 now and still trying hard to fish the river , I fish the local lakes around peterlee as well now .some good fish around in the right conditions . keep it up mate .
Cheers, Kieth, we all fish for enjoyment, so we all choose where to fish and how to fish . As we get older, it definitely gets harder physically, but the pure enjoyment of fishing and catching a fish is a special thing .👍🎣🐟
@alecharveyfishingandflytying I'm moving away from the salmon, and getting back into the trout now. I think many of us are , given the state of the rivers. So much has changed in the world of stillwater trout over the last 10 years. I recently found out what a FAB was! 🤣
Nice one , looks a great fishery, thanks for sharing your tips , I’m trying to get back into fly fishing again ( bit late in the year mind ) , looking forward to getting up there and hopefully meet you at rod and tackle one day mate , thanks , atb Deka 👍🏻
Thanks Deka , winter is really good during the winter months as long as you can cope with the cold . The trout love the cold water and put up a great fight .Hope to catch up 👍🎣🐟

That first fish i shit myself you nearly hooked me aswell man 😂
so did I 🤣🤣🤣
I have 2 methods too......Method 1, a wee dram....if that fails , Method 2 a bigger dram......if Method 2 fails,, repeat the sequence
🤣🤣🤣 That could definitely work.
Do you ever do any proper flyfishing? As for wild trout in rivers or lochs?
No , i will leave that to you , enjoy 👍🎣🐟
