    In MI the hatcheries are growing grayling to reintroduce them to the AuSable and Manistee rivers.

    Another enjoyable afternoon fishing with you. We learn about the Scottish countryside, flies, fly fishing; and, we had a rare added
    bonus of seeing the clever king fisher evade the speedy sparrow hawk. Thank you for sharing with us Davie.

    Davie. Another great video. I came to fly fishing late only started couple of years ago and these videos make me jealous of all years i missed growing up in Ayr and not doing any fishing.

    Evening Davie, Firstly, many thanks for putting the small olive to the test. Which of us hasn't experienced what happened, or should that be didn't happen in the first ten minutes? Capturing the Sparrowhawk chasing the Kingfisher and the latter avoiding his pursuer was absolutely brilliant Phew! Great video and lets hope we see you out and about again before the end of the season. many thanks.

    Hi Dave, your fly tying is masterful but you will catch a lot more fish on dry flies if you cast a shorter and slacker line, your style is more typical of a wet fly fisher. This pool may not be accessible from the wooded bank but if it is, that is the bank to fish, with a slacker more up stream cast. You may catch smaller fish in the way you are fishing but better canny fish will not take, there being a subtle but ever preset drag. I have fished dry exclusively now for 15 years and it’s been a real education to fish dry all the time for wild fish. It’s almost like learning to fish all over again, since I used to be a wet fly man. I love the films I hope these comments are well received. They are intended to be helpful.

    Spike pool, Plum Jordan, Calm waters and Laundry pool. Good stretch of river Davie. Size 12 G.P or Ally Shrimp in Laundry pool as a spate runs off is the way to get the grilse (when the water is like tea with no milk). Should be good this Monday due to heavy rain predicted on Saturday.

    That was fun. A few laughs at your expense but you got the "stink off".Sorry to see the water so low. Not sure if you cast pretty or I should run out and buy that triangle tapper. Joan Wullff makes it look good but she was a champ. You make it look good but you've been a gillie. Thanks again for taking us with you. Lots of fun.

      Hi JAF IrAuLtZa!,
      The clubs I am in have limited space for new members though you can get day tickets or even a season ticket but I couldn't tell you where to buy them..If you can get a day ticket it allows you to fish for trout and grayling as well as the salmon..I'm glad you enjoyed the video..
      All the very best Davie

      Permits are needed to fish yes. Not for walking on the land. We have no trespassing law in Scotland and mostly all of the land has public rights of way and pathways. Obviously in farm land you need to be respectful and not let dogs run free when there is livestock.

      @@davidgoss72 that sound pretty much as in Spain but that makes most of the shores unable to walk by them. Also permission money goes directly to the government so the land owners don't take care of the rivers or shores at all. Sad.

    I like your fishing adventure videos. It would be interesting see what the early morning looks and sounds like on the River Ayr. The larger grain fields must have plenty of Pheasants, Partridge, rabbits and fox roaming around. The fishing regulations are something that would be interesting to know about too. Do Sea trout or Sea Run Brown trout run up the Ayr River? I would wonder about Eels and other fish that you sometimes find in rivers of Scotland. 🦉🪶🦊

    • @EricDalton1910
      @EricDalton1910 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Salmon and sea trout run the river Ayr. Eels used to be very common. Not so much now. Grayling and brown trout are resident all year round.

  • @brianshaheen1138
    @brianshaheen1138 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Every one of those short hook ups is a catch in my book. You're using a small fly and trout have big mouths, so its hard to get a solid hook set on a fish with a size 20 or lower. Maybe give the fish a beat or two before you set the hook. Thats what I do. And thats the slackest water to fish anyway. Maybe the fish aren't so fast to take a fly like they would in riffles or faster water.
