Hi Sean, your videos are truly entertaining and from a fellow TH-cam angler point of view, your video editing and eye for detail is just inspiring. Great content, informative and a joy to watch. Looking forward to your next episodes over the winter months.👍
Thanks so much Douglas, you're too kind. Great to see your channel's going from strength to strength too! I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone and expand my horizons a bit. The variety of fishing you showcase inspires me too 👍🏼. Hope to cross paths with you sometime in the future 🙏🏼🐟
Hi Sean i am really enjoying your videos ...I wonder if you could help me i was hoping to go Grayling fishing on the Clyde as a beginner where would you advise i should go...Thanks Campbell
wee man i so look forward to your videos , PLEASE keep them coming . i miss home so much not just for the fishing but i am planning another trip up next year , thank you again looking forward to your next one ...........
Another lovely video Sean, such beautiful locations you find, I love the gold nuggets of information and help you dot throughout they certainly help and inspire me and I’m sure others who are less experienced in the various fly fishing techniques. I’m really looking forward to your winter videos, it’s my goal to catch my first ever grayling this winter from my local river. Keep up the good work. 👌
Cheers Tom! If there's one thing I've learned it's that with fishing there's no right or wrong ways of doing things. Just hope the tips help people get up and running with the sport. Good luck with your quest for a grayling this winter! They have a reputation for being easy to catch - not my experience at all! But finding them and fishing at the right depth is usually 90% of the battle, on rivers like the Clyde at least. Tight lines 🙏🏼🐟
Superb. Production quality keeps increasing every video. Quality beats quantity every time. It’s definitely worth your time in the edit room. Thanks so much for the instructional info on the rig setup and how you handle the indicator - that was most welcome. Very good droneage near the power lines too. Keep at it - subs and views will keep going up.
Cheers Andrew! The drone is a relatively new acquisition so probably not the best idea to fly it by those power lines 🙈. Glad you enjoyed the technical stuff too. I've faffed around with indicators for years but wish someone had told me about that New Zealand indicator kit. It's honestly been a game changer. Tight lines 🙏🏼🐟
Cheers David! I couldn't agree with you more 😂. PTN on the point and Hares Ear on the dropper. In this video I actually switched flies and fished through that same run with a perdigon on the point and was able to pick up fish I'd covered with the pheasant tail. But I'm sure the smaller size is what fooled them, rather than the pattern. That Duracell can be so effective for grayling in the winter but seldom works for me the rest of the year. And the squirmy is only for when things get all dark and weird on the river 😂
Another lovely watch 👍 Always gutted when it ends lol. My last day of the season on the Kelvin was superb, some lovely browns drifting nymphs around pocket water. Ill have to order some of that dubbing, looks quality!! Cheers and Tight Lines 👌
Thanks mate! I'm definitely going to get over to the Kelvin next season. I've heard too many good things about it! And definitely get yourself some of that scruffy dubbing. The camera doesn't do it justice at all. Wind it on relatively loose and pick it out with a brush. The claret and olive colours make amazing bodies for loch flies too!
I liked a video with a Squirmy Worm plug. May the Lord have mercy on my soul. Good to see you enjoying the back-end of the year. The blazing colours of Autumn and the wistfulness of approaching Winter combine to let one appreciate the beauty of it all. Well, that and the relative absence of midges....
It was so nice to have a relatively settled few weeks to enjoy the colours changing. Even I defiled the sanctity of it all with a squirmy 😂. Tight lines 🙏🏼🐟
Another stunning video, love the simplicity of your leader setup, you do fish in some beautiful locations, I fish on southern chalk streams, but they are a bit to manicured for me. Do recommend saltwater flyfishing, just had the most amazing Bass season. Thank you for sharing, tight lines
Cheers Chris! I There's something magical about the chalk streams but I have to say I always gravitated towards the wilder sections of rivers like the Avon. And yes, simple setup for a simple angler 😂. I'd love to find out more about bass fishing. Do you have any resources you'd recommend? Cheers 🙏🏼
@@SouthsideFlyFishingHi Sean I would agree, I prefer fishing on the Avon, I like more naturel places to fish. Regarding Bass fishing, I fish with a chap called Paul Haldenwang who has a company called Saltydog game fishing, he has a boat and fishes in and around Chicester harbour, it's a massive conservation area and bird sanctuary, a stunning place to fish, You also fish around the cost, Paul is a really nice bloke. You can shore fish there too, Orvis do a Saltwater flyfishing festival there each year in September, about £100 to join and you get to know the area and places to fish, last two days. Tight lines Sean. Look forward to your pike video,
Hi mate, just watching this again....do you buy or build your own leaders. What material do you use if building, if not what pre made do you buy. I usually buy but wanting to start building my own so looking for any pointers... You ever consider tutorials, there will be a lot of people who would benefit from you knowledge....👍
Hi Iain. I usually use a tapered leader and then add tippet and dropper tags for the flies. You can of course tie your own, but I prefer the main length of the leader to be knotless. Cheers 🙏🏼🐟
Thankyou mate for another great video. I love the way you shoot nature. Like the mosses and berrie and fungi and trees nstuff! I find that this is so much part of my enjoyment when I go fly fishing and exploring new waters here in Australia,. Those nymphs are all dynamite in australia too! Maybe we could do a trans hemispher fly swap one day with some of our not so usual flies one day? Messegage me if your intrested. Anyways your trout season is about to close and mine has opened since september so im off to tie and look at maps and find that pain in the ares leak in my waders. All my best. Love your work
Thanks Greg, delighted to hear you're enjoying the vids. I do get a bit carried away with the nature, and I'm sure I'd catch more fish if I put the camera down and spent more time fishing 😂. Hope you get your box filled and the leaks fixed for the new season. Tight lines 🙏🏼🐟
@@SouthsideFlyFishing Onya Bro! Dont you dar give up filming all your observations of scotlands wild and not so wild places! Ilove your appreciative eye for the rythms of nature. You have some beautifully marked trout there and your appreciation for every fish you catch is akin to why I fly fish.
Another great video mate. Your an artist on and off the water. Would love to see you pike fishing and giving some pointers on tactics, equipment, rigs etc...i think ive asked you this before, so sorry... but what boots do you use when fishing of the grid and having to hike
Thanks mate! I'm definitely going to get after the pike this winter but I'm a total noob when it comes to predator fishing. Those boots are the Vision Musta boots with the Michelin soles and a set of metal studs. I'd buy them again although for the price I'd be tempted to go for Korkers next time 👍🏼
Great video iam mainly a Stillwater fisher but I really look forward to watching your videos tell where do I start to take up river fishing i.e where do you get your permits what is a good starting rod/reel and can anyone fish the Clyde ? Cheers David.
Cheers David! There are at least 4 angling clubs that manage fishing on the Clyde. This stretch is controlled by UCAPA and you can find out more about permits on their website: www.ucapaltd.com/freshwater.html. The other clubs are Mid-Clyde, Lamington and Hozier. A good rod/reel combo for the rivers would be something like a 9ft 5wt rod and a floating fly line. That would cover most types of fishing on the rivers. If you're on a budget, the new Shakespeare rods are good value for money. I also like the Redington Classic Trout rods. Tight lines 🙏🏼🐟🎣
Hi Sean, As a nee fly fisher I have discovered your channel and simply awe inspired by your angling, videography and love for what you do! So just wanted say keep up the work! I’ve noticed from a few videos that you mention you do not use barbless hooks, can I please ask why? I’ve inherited around 100 flies but they’re all barbed.
Hi Louis, great to have you aboard, and delighted to hear you're enjoying the videos. I use barbless hooks all the time these days because I believe they promote fish welfare. Barbed hooks can do quite a lot of damage even to a smaller fish, and I even prefer to cut my line rather than perform surgery on a deeply hooked fish. I do lose a good few fish and there's even an argument that if you're so concerned for their wellbeing, why put a hook in them at all 😂. But that's my thinking re barbs. Tight lines 🙏🏼🐟
Beautiful river with awesome fishes. I have to you 2 qeustions How much cost fly fishing permit on Clyde in place where you caught? Do you sell own flies?
Thank you mate! It's £12 for the day and £60 for the season on the stretch I was fishing: www.ucapaltd.com/freshwater.html. I don't sell flies at the moment, although it's something I think about from time to time! 🙏🏼🐟
Thanks Robin! I've had actual abuse for the music in some of the earlier videos so your comment is much appreciated 😂😂.. I get the music from Epidemic Sounds these days. Sourcing royalty-free music can be a bit of a pain so I've reluctantly ended up paying a monthly subscription. If you make your own videos (or are considering it) you can get some decent music for free through TH-cam's audio library
Thoroughly enjoying the videos and going through your 'back catalogue'...you and IB and Andy are my new virtual besties! Going to be very close to the Tweed over Christmas...same flies/nymphs work over that way?
Alistair, you're a gent! Andy and Ieva are proper TH-camrs, so it's flattering to be mentioned in the same breath. Believe it or not, I've never fished the Tweed! But the rivers are so similar in profile, I'm confident that all the flies that work on the Clyde will do the business on the Tweed too. Some will disagree but with grayling I honesty believe locating the fish and presenting the fly to them at the right depth is 90% of the battle. The usual nymph patterns all seem to work fine for me 👍🏼. Tight lines 🙏🏼🐟🏴
@@SouthsideFlyFishing Thanks for the prompt response. I'm looking forward to the trip...circumstances permitting! T L and a Merry Christmas (December now so it's allowed!)
Hi Neil. It’s rare to find a hatch in December in my neck of the woods. You get the odd BWO or midge coming off but the fish tend to be tight to the bottom. Small perdigons tend to work well if there are smaller flies about. A teeny drab FFly would do the business for anything on the surface at this time of year I’d say 🤙🏼
Thanks mate! I use a Fuji Xt4. The video quality on any of the newer mirrorless cameras is phenomenal but I absolutely love the Xt4 (when it stays in focus 😂). Tight lines
Lovely video I can tell you put a lot of work into these. Im hoping to try for grayling soon. Just wondering if you know what the material is they use in the indicator looks like a type of floss.
Thank you! Fingers crossed you'll catch a few grayling next time you're out fishing. The material is New Zealand wool. There's a link in the description to the brand I use. Tight lines 🙏🏼🐟
Its about ten pounds a day that gives you a lot of water to fish and about 60 pounds for a season ticket that covers the grayling fishing great video sir not been up for a few years now miss it never had much success were you were fishing prefer bit further down the river
Thank you Neil! I like the lower stretches of the UCAPA water too. I've had many a blank upstream so was very lucky to have the camera with me on a good day! And as you say, it's £12 for a day ticket, £60 for a season and miles and miles of water to explore 👍🏼
@@SouthsideFlyFishing ye great value for money stopped fishing it about 13 years ago because cormerants devistated it there was 10..15 birds in a pool and just worked there way up hole stretches I fished it was disgraceful nothing could be done went from catching between 10 to 40.50 grayling in a day to nothing thats not including the brownies used to catch they disappeared aswell but it was coming back slowly few seasons ago
It’s such a shame more isn’t done to protect our wild fish in Scotland. Hopefully things continue to improve. There’s certainly no shortage of anglers on the river 😉
