- In today's episode, my brother joins me on another trip to Ellerdine Lakes to give you a few tips and tricks on winter fishing for trout.
We had a great day filming and all who journeyed with us caught well, with a few PB's caught along the way.
We hope you enjoy our content.
Tips to take away.
Tip number 1 get there early. Youll be the first fly they have seen in over 12 hours.
Tip number 2 keep mobile.
Tip number 3 vary your retrieve.
Tip number 4 avoid other anglers as too much pressure pushes the fish out and spooks them.
Tip number 5 fish a sink tip line if its flat calm. ( Even when it's not this is probably the best line you can use. )
Tip number 6 Check your hook if you are missing fish. You may have blunted it on a back cast or other issues like the bizarre situation I was faced with.
Tip number 7 fish alongside weed beds as trout hide in ambush and strike into food along these areas.
Tip number 8 if the takes dry up a change of flies can bring a few extra fish.
Tip number 9 don't overfish a spot
Tip number 10 cast to rising fish
Tip number 11 you can return to a hot spot later in the day providing it has been given a rest.

We would both like to dedicate our performance on the day and this video to our Nan who sadly was taken ill just before the filming of this episode and has since passed away.

Your Kindness Will Never Be Forgotten
You helped mould us into the people we have become.
Thank you
What an awesome days fishing that was Gareth , really enjoyed the day with you and it was a proud moment to net your new PB rainbow trout, was great to see you catching trout with all the pressure from anglers around you once you starting catching them doubles, the tips in this video certainly worked , it’s always good to catch fish consistently all day makes you know your doing something right, this will be a day I will certainly remember, hopefully next time your landing my PB
Thank you Paul. As soon we have nailed the audio quality we will have to get on the tips and tricks for beginner's video series. Looking forward to working with you in 2019.
Great video, good to see catch and release. Well done.👍
Nice viewing dawn to dusk I think I saw the moon flash a couple of times at the end . Thanks for your efforts will have to pop down to Ellerdine sometime.
Nice toad at the minute mark!
Loverly rainbow....just came across your vids randomly when it was recommended when I was watching one of my own uploads. I’m based down in Kent so don’t have many waters with big fish unless I make the journey to Hampshire. Just subbed
Thank you. This Fishery is 3 hours away from my hometown in South Wales. We also have very little, big fish waters around here,
UkFlyFisher I have had a few doubles this year....a couple caught on my orvis Helios 3 5 weight (Now that was a fun scrap) but like you I have to drive 2-3 hours to get to the fisheries which stock them.....funny thing is the hardest fight I have ever had from a trout was a six pound brownie at my local Spring Hill trout Fishery in tumbride wells.....it took me legit 10 mins to land it on an airflo 7 weight
Top class.
Thank you
Awesome! Subscribed! Just started my outdoor channel too
Using the airflo sink tip floater I see.....how do you find the snaking and coiling? I like airflo as a company but the line memory on the floating lines really bothers me. I had to keep stretching it to get around the issue.....the sink tip line really does the business though
Hi, airflow sinkers are some of the best on the market. Their floaters are a different story and can hold plenty of memory. The super dry 6ft fast sink tip, however, does not have this problem. If yours is coiling it is most likely an old line that has been stored there for a long time and they will happily change that for you. The sink tip I have in the video is 2 and a half years old now and only has one slight dink in the line from when a fellow angler accidentally stepped on it. otherwise no memory at all.
UkFlyFisher airflo produce some great videos once a year called modern still water tactics hosted by Ian Barr and Gareth Jones.....lots of great hints and tips. I learnt how to fish the washing line from these vids and caught tons of fish on naturals
Also well worth checking out is the totally awesome fishing show....I’m guessing that most you tubers who make video content themselves have seen Graham’s videos and been somewhat inspired by them
@@barrybigplums The older ones with Ian Barr and Matt Hayes were the best ones, but all of them are very useful. Gareth is a great angler and really knows his stuff and Ian is one of the best fly fishers in the UK.
@@barrybigplums yes, they are great. More coarse anglers but they certainly get people fly fishing and I appreciate the work they do. I am sending them a large shipment of flies soon. Maybe one day we will do a video together. Just need some proper sound equipment first.
With the airflo super dri fast intermediate sink tip do you go with a 7wt for a 7wt rod or do you go for a 8wt with a 7wt rod?
Both. Then I can get a more delicate presentation for fussy fish with the 7 and little more distance and control over my lures with an 8.
@@UkFlyFisher ah ok thank you
It’s more about finding the depths and keeping your flies that depth rather can fly choice/patterns
Not always true. For example today the fish were feeding in the top 2 feet all day. Yet would only take certain patterns and switch off them quickly. I would say there is a strong argument to suggest Depth is more important than fly choice. Both though are important and there are days in which the fly you chose will affect the outcome greater than the depth. Something to keep in mind while you are out on your adventures.
Its a sub n thumbs from me cheers
Thank you that's really appreciated.
Nice video, that incredible cat is a killer pattern,what net is that
Macleans Sea Trout net.
@@UkFlyFisher wow hefty price on that.Do u know of any with the scales on that are a bit cheaper?
@@rhyspercey3880 Yes I only had one as it was discounted. Still not cheap, but my passion is sea trout so it has its purpose for me. No, I don't yet, but want to find one.
Why are no items available on your website. Incredible cat might be great but I can’t buy it!
Love these videos!superb👍what net are you using?looking for one exactly like that with the scales?
www.fishtec.co.uk/buy.cfm/landing-nets-and-frames/mcleans-salmon-and-sea-trout-gye-weigh-landing-nets/40/yes/151091
It the McLeans sea trout net. Great net. Well worth the money and one of the most accurate scales ive used.
Brilliant!thanks very much!thanks again for the videos 👍
Good video but what about the hints and tips.when you going to show us how to tie these bad boys
Hi, Gary glad you enjoyed the video. You may have missed the tips due to bad audio which I will be working on.
Unfortunately, everything I own and the fishing is all paid for by me and only so much I can afford in one go.
Tip number 1 get there early. Youll be the first fly they have seen in over 12 hours.
Tip number 2 keep mobile.
Tip number 3 vary your retrieve.
Tip number 4 avoid other anglers as too much pressure pushes the fish out and spooks them.
Tip number 5 fish a sink tip line if its flat calm. ( Even when it's not this is probably the best line you can use. )
Tip number 6 Check your hook if you are missing fish. You may have blunted it on a back cast or other issues like the bizarre situation I was faced with.
Tip number 7 fish alongside weed beds as trout hide in ambush and strike into food along these areas.
Tip number 8 if the takes dry up a change of flies can bring a few extra fish.
Tip number 9 don't overfish a spot
Tip number 10 cast to rising fish
Tip number 11 you can return to a hot spot later in the day providing it has been given a rest.
A few I can remember. I will do a clearer video when we have the audio equipment.
Thank you for your feedback.
Enjoyed the video. I also enjoy a lot of lure fishing. Are they beads or booby eyes on your cats whisker?
Beads from Flybox
UkFlyFisher what hooks are you using? I am still using kamasan. But really want to start using barbless.
@@Jam-yl5ip for the Cats, Elite Flies Short Shank Specials are perfect. In fact, they are the best lure hook on the market and one of the cheapest. For nymphs and dries, I tend to use fullingmill but there are plenty others out there. Hope that helps
Great video dude, have you a pattern for the crazy cat?
Cheers
Thank you. My next video will show me tying the pattern. You can also find it here www.ukflyfisher.com/product-page/incredible-cat
@@UkFlyFisher awesome man, I have had wee noisy. What body material?
What rod are you using?
10 foot 7 weight Enigma EMG3
DUDE WEAR UNDERWEAR...
I have underwear and under trousers. Just incredibly fat at this time. xD
Where were the tips then? Didn't think All I would see is an expert incessantly catching fish on a lake with no other anglers to cramp his mobility😳. Why the back racket supposedly dramatic music. Absolutely unnecessary. Fishing is enjoyed for the peace and that includes videos please.
Tip number 1 get there early. Youll be the first fly they have seen in over 12 hours. Tip number 2 keep mobile. Tip number 3 vary your retrieve. Tip number 4 avoid other anglers as too much pressure pushes the fish out and spooks them. Tip number 5 fish a sink tip line if its flat calm. Also nice to see how effective the lures are considering we did a video with the naturals the week before :) . If this stuff doesn't interest you then don't watch it. Pointless comments won't help the community improve. The sound quality is bad, I can't afford better at the moment. The only reason you call me an expert is because I work my socks off and constantly improve. I'm giving you the information for free be happy you don't have to go figure it out for yourself as I had too :) . If you do not like my videos I thank you for the views and interactions and kindly suggest finding another fly fisher to watch. Tight Lines.
Another tip that you mention, is to fish along weed beds as trout like to ambush thier prey. This is something I have found very effective.
Although I am not an angler I learn a lot about fishing from watching my brother's videos and being there with him on these trips to help capture these moments for the viewers. Although it is not always apparent in these videos I can confirm that the two lakes you see fished on for this video were packed with anglers for the majority of our time there. The windy conditions you hear in our video is unfortunate but the wind on the other lakes at the location meant that all but one or two anglers were fishing on the other lakes on location. You will frequently see anglers in the background and helping out net the fish. It is my second time visiting Ellerdine Lakes and I have been overwhelmed by the number of friendly people I have met whilst filming, off camera I have spoken to many on site from a community I know little about but they are all welcoming regardless. If fishing for you is a peaceful activity then that's fine, I can see the tranquillity of angling. However my experience as a spectator so far is an atmosphere of comradery and shared enthusiasm for fishing and a level of respect for all anglers from all walks of life. Thank you for your comment as all opinions and criticism will help us tailor our content for our viewers.
Think roger is referring to the music not the wind etc
