Beautiful to see Dave! I've known Dave for many years and seen him make many a fly on the most random activies other than fly-fishing. Very knowledgable man and a dope guy!! I'm surprised he's not got his own channel.
Very interesting video. I'm increasingly interested in fly fishing for coarse fish and recently bought a 10ft aftm 2 for for this purpose. Downstream was something I'd not considered, but seeing your method and results makes me want to try this.
I've seen the other video as recommended by an Orvis email. One bloke's comment was it wasn't fly fishing, but coarse fishing with a fly. I pointed out that no coarse rod or whip could do the bow & arrow casting technique, except maybe a Hardy Marksman Specialist. Now Hardy made a suberb rod called the Marksman Ultralite Bomb 10' (I own many Marksman rods), which isn't too far removed from the flexibility of a fly rod. Then I saw the rod you were using & thought, that looks like a Bomb rod, but Greys (Hardy & Greys - hmmmm). So in cooking, they call a mix of styles Fusion, so tht's what you are doing, using a very light flexible coarse rod to do fly fishing :)
Another cracking vid ! interesting method, urban rivers in my parish tend to have a lot of underwater snags so it would need a bit of adaptation but worth a go ! what make is the sling pack by the way ? Cheers
Dave was using sz16 for the most part. One had a small section of squirmy material, which I use with grey dubbing, couple of turns of soft hackle at the collar behind bead.
I love this. Out there doing it rather than sitting at home googling different rods and lines. Inspiring stuff!
Having read Skateboard Dave's many interesting posts and articles on coarse fishing with a fly over the years, this was a treat and a half.
Expect a couple more from Dave this year!

By the end of next week I'll have another vid of Dave uploaded.
If you think this is beautiful using a feeder rod to flyfish in some shitty little river for small coarse fish, you need to get out more!
Brilliant. Very well produced and huge thanks to Skateboard Dave for a very informative display.
Thank you again for some valuable information. Always learning something new 😊
Dave is a real innovator and it's always a pleasure to film him.

It's not Fly-fishing! He's not even using a fly rod you tit
You deserve more subscribers! Keep going Tim! 🙌🙌
Brilliant video. Looking forward to more!
Superb content as usual - thanks for creating this.
Eye opening video well done! Dee seems incredibly knowledgeable
He certainly is. As a mentor he’s taught me more in this last year than I’ve learned in my entire 15 year fishing career
Awesome as usual mate.
Brilliant as always, keep them coming .

It was filmed on a small river in Leicestershire.

Why not using a strike indicator?
Are there any specific flies that you would recommend, or does any nymphing pattern work?

Great work Tim … one a week now pls 👍😁
The longest cast I've made was with at 12 ft match rod and 8 weight line, 75ft no problem
Hardly fly-fishing is it?
Music is a distraction from a good video
Coarse rod? Split shot? This isnt flyfishing ffks!
Well he was using a fly
@@robertcourt8593 So that's your stupid logic? Go stick a nymph on your grayling trotting set up and you Fly-fishing......clown
Not fly fishing ..for me is not fly fishing 😳😏
