I agree catching on your own flies is much more satisfying. I have got some cheap long shank hooks but with a narrow gape lost a few fish using them , they are going in the bin !!
I had a few, but these seem the best so fare. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224403109905?var=523188267024 I have been tying the rabbit at the top and in the mid position and they seem to be ready for an outing. Thanks for the comment and watching, email me in a week and i will send you some flies to try out. Regards MD
I fished there in the 1980 s ,when it was any method around Nov, fishing worms ,wasn't to interested in the trout ,had some of the biggest best perch of my life absolutely monsters ,great days and I had a trout 18 lb 4oz one of the biggest caught in country ,😊😊
It's the fight they put up at this time of year, I landed a 14lb rainbow 2 yrs ago and it was in the net within 2 mins, these 3-4lb fish are giving me nothing but trouble. Keep well Regards Mick
Been watching your videos for a few weeks and now a subscriber. Do enjoy them aswell. We all bump fish off while playing them with barbless hook but not having a barb I think causes more damage as the point not being fixed in place with a barb is allowed to move about cutting the flesh before it pops out when the fish throws a hook.at places like you fish do you not notice small tips around the mouths of fish.a lot of fisheries adopted marbles thinking it would be less damaging but I think the opposite has been made.only quick release with barbless is better.
I had a 5lb rainbow here at pennine last Sunday and the way it was fighting you would have thought it was a low double. Thanks for watching and the comment Regards Mick
Hi Mick Just love the video, great bit of fishing. I see you tied the orange bead stalking bugs, they look amazing. Let me know when I’m able to purchase some from you. Cheers, keep the videos coming, they are great. Bob.👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣
Hi Its the same as this one th-cam.com/video/zgxk2ef8hhI/w-d-xo.html , but using a olive tail and thread for the body, then use some UV to cover the body, Streamer hook 12 or 10. Regards MD
Hi thanks for that i get all my beads from this place www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265598368690?var=566203508664 they are metal 3.8mm just tell him md fly fishing gave you the link. takes about 4 days to get to you. Regards MD
Fantastic vid as usual - loving the content. Can I ask though - what on earth is that reel you've got?? The way you're able to spin that line back onto the reel is amazing!! I'm stuck with an old Vision Koma and have to just reel it on with the handle which takes ages with a lot of line out!! 😥😄. Thanks again and really great videos 👍
Hi you can make the leader as long as you wish, but for this fly the whole leader is 14ft ish down to a 7lb end section 6/7ft to the beaded fly, The fly will sink, but 1,, I retrieve right way or 2,, leave it a few seconds then retrieve or 3,, leave it even longer to sink and then retrieve. using figure 8 or 6, 12 inch pulls. This is just for this fly, Regards MD
Hi, I live in Bacup, do you know of any local fly fisheries other than Pennine, I don’t drive due to failing eyesight so local is better for me to get a lift too!
Hi They only ones i know are a lot further then Pennine, preston, skipton and huddersfield areas, even ryburn is further than pennine and its just over the boarder from you. Regards MD
As the water warms up more , combine algae, water flea blooms. Yes black, natural, tan or olive still work As the water becomes discoloured start to increase the amount of orange used ultimately total orange. With pink being equally effective. As ever a great session and you covered all the relevant bases.
1 is a 10ft 6wt for the sunray intermediate line and the yellow line is on a 6wt 9 ft rod, both rods cost £55 and do the job, well pleased with them. Regards MD
The leader is about 14ft long, 8ft of 12lb Konger Fluorocarbon from the end of the fly line and then i add 6ft of Fulling mill V2 7lb to a single fly. Thanks for watching MD
I have lots of different lines and just using it up, i used tiger line for a while. but its quite expensive now. the last 6ft is the most important not to be seen that's why I've gone for V 2 this year. in fact last night I ordered some 8lb ghost line to try out on the last 6ft for my local water.@@mikel3379
What can I say more great tips as usual my friend, well in

Yes, the fish seem really fit at this time of year. It took me ages to get a four pounder in at Ellerdine on Monday.

Will you want a long shank version or short? Regards Mick
Not sure really, what was you using in this video?
@@bobturner8323 the long shank version had more fish.
Would it be possible to buy 5 of each.
Cheers. Bob👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣
@@bobturner8323 yes I will sort you some. Regards Mick
You going to put a video of you tying these flies, great videos

Your videos are fantastic, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Where do you get the orange beads from and are they metal or plastic. Thank you

The yellow line is on a Greys GRXi 5/6 and the inter is on a wychwood true fly 5/6, thanks for the comment and watching. Regards MD
Awesome and many thanks - I clearly need a 'spinnier reel'!😃
Good fish, worth getting wet for.
Can I ask what the stronger hooks that you have ordered are please.
Hi Chris from the fly tying den www.flytyingden.com/collections/hooks/products/the-fly-tying-den-barbless-hooks-streamer Regards MD
Thank you
Are the stronger hooks a size 10 or 8
I got 10s and 8s @@harryhudson5149

With a floating line? How long is the leader and tippet please? Then how deep do you fish with the floating line?
Thanks for info!

@@mdflyfishinguk5220 Thank you so much! I’m still a beginner and wonder how you know or measure how deep a water is.

@mdflyfishinguk5220 thank you for your reply. You catch some great trout at Pennine, superb captures.
These are just the bottom line size, lots of bigger trout. take care regards mick @@richysbivvy
Great video as always.What breaking strain are you using and which brand?
The leader is about 14ft long, 8ft of 12lb Konger Fluorocarbon from the end of the fly line and then i add 6ft of Fulling mill V2 7lb to a single fly. Thanks for watching MD
What's your reasoning in using two different brands for your leader?
I have lots of different lines and just using it up, i used tiger line for a while. but its quite expensive now. the last 6ft is the most important not to be seen that's why I've gone for V 2 this year. in fact last night I ordered some 8lb ghost line to try out on the last 6ft for my local water.@@mikel3379
Marbles I mean barbless and tips is rips. Predictive text!
Play them on the reel. Better sport.
I tend to do that a lot now, but then I've had comments saying don't play them off the reel. Thanks for watching Regards MD
