Good evening Davie. Just ,finished watching Your Lovely outing on such a Lovely River. Gets the old heart going when I hear " Hear we go " Please keep your wonderful videos coming. Many thanks and Kind regards Colyn.
There’s some history attached to that old bridge I would think. Lovely bit of water as well. I lived in Glasgow in the late 80s and must go back soon to visit. Thanks for sharing Davey.
The lady of the stream. The beauty that is the Grayling. Mostly they are caught via the nymph. For me when they take either an emerger or dry. They will always be whatever their size the most memorable fish of the day.
"I got a rock!". 5AM and I woke the dog laughing. Great fun. I can see where those Dynamite Harry's are perfect for a dry/dropper rig. Beautiful river. Thanks for sharing..
Watching this from Vienna and it’s bringing back so many memories. Grew up in crosshill… looking forward to finally getting home again after 2 years. Brilliant video!👍
How coincidental Davie. Just got back from a short break in North Yorkshire where there was a lovely hatch of Yellow May. Then, I return to see your latest video. The DH is a smashing fly, so too your latest nymph pattern. Many thanks for producing these "out on the river" videos. Always a pleasure to watch.
Great video Davie. Your sharing and explaining your knowledge so that everyone can clearly follow. Fantastic stuff. Keep the fishing videos coming pal. Pleasure to watch👏
Love watching you fish dav id like to see alot more videos of you fishing very informative,bet your glad to be out on the river and not stuck at your desk
Your River looks like so many of the trout streams in Pennsylvania, including the bridge. Have you heard Billy Connelly story about the time he took his daft nephew fly fishing? His Scottish accent just makes even more funny. Thanks for Sharing.
"He's up a tree with it". My son and I laugh ourselves silly with it because my son had a problem with trying to set the hook like he was fishing Tuna at first.
Well I've literally just started river fishing, and I've been looking for tips and I have to say Davie your vid was brilliant. I'm just doon the road in Stranraer. Tight lines Davie 👍🎣
I had not seen before two flies on the line in tandem system; it seems to good, here in my country it is not allowed..good fishing, you repeat it soon, a hug.
Really enjoy the fishing trips Davie. Really nice to see you fishing the flies that you tie. A video on what patterns you carry in your fly box for a trip to the river would be excellent? Thanks again for the great content.
Really nice video! Love the surroundings! Watched it w my son and we both liked it and we both hope someday to have the opportunity to fish in a river like this!
Nice video Davie. I've been doing quite well with nymphs in the last 3 weeks further upstream and there's plenty of grayling and trout too. Like you say, the top of the runs are the spot to fish at the moment.
I watch your channel on youtube and I am grateful for your motivation thanks to this I started making flies myself I have one question for you where to get a fishing permit on the river ayr and what is the price
Hi Robert, If you go into Gamesport in Ayr, Matt in the shop will be able to point you in the right direction to getting a ticket on one of the club waters which are many up and down the river..I'm glad you enjoy the videos and let me know how you get on.. All the very best Davie
davie great to see you doing a bit .😂 ,,i always dreamed of meeting you on a loch ,,lake ,,river and see you fly box ,,then you show me on here a wee plastic thing .. very disappointing..on kidding would love to see more of you on the bank ,,thanks ,, ,,.
Good to be with you on your local river Davie...very enjoyable...thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience...very impressed with the way your tied Dynamite Harry dry fly performed...did you need to use any floatant product of any type during the hours that you fished?
Hi TK, I did use a floatant on the Dynamite Harry, I like to use Mucilin and it lasted the full time I was on the water only drying it with a patch of amadou..I am glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for the kind words.. All the very best Davie..
hi Davie , after warching hundreds of your tying vids and learning the skills of tying ..I am still new to the fly fishing way...so can you explain the difference with the angle of the hook eye ..I realise you have probably already done this .. but would love an answer to save me time trolling through ..thanks in advance ....enjoyed this video ..
Tell you what Davie some cracking fish there mate,never fished another fly joined to my other fly I’m not a great believer in it as for me it’s just to risky to get bitten through maybe it’s just me tho.All the very best pal 👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴
Looks a nice salmon pool with maybe an extra six to nine inches on. Have you had many salmon off the Ayr Davie or are the Doon or Stinchar better salmon rivers. Cheers Phil
Hi Davie, I've been following you fir some time now, a very good friend of mine, introduced me to fly fishing and your channel some 4 years ago, 6 months after my friends help to become a fly fisherman, supplying me with all the gear and enthusiasm ... so In May 2019 I relocated to East Ayrshire to begin my retirement life with my wife, who is Scottish myself being English ... I live now very close to the River Ayr at Ballochmyle, I've even been given by my friend fly tieing equipment and still finding my way tieing some fly myself ... so my question, in the monthly draw how to I receive a number to be included in the draw? thanks in anticipation, thoroughly enjoy all the videos, thanks and tight lines
He walked off the set. He didn't get fired, he quit. It was a take where he had to walk through a door. On the 68th take with no input from Stanley, he blew up and walked off.
@@DavieMcPhail Hi Davie Cheers for that. the part my Dad showed me he called the water Ayr. still part of river Ayr but him being from Mossblown i think they called it that.

Superb video again sir just shows catch and release works fine if you are careful the prediction on the fish is far worse than the angler did a few of drys you showed us will be doing a few of those we bugs looking good
Nice fishing video but it's a shame that you don't have a landing net to go fishing it's the essential equipment for fishing that should never be forgotten
When you can't get out to fish,what better pleasure than seeing someone else out enjoying their fishing. Thanks Davie,always a joy.
Good evening Davie. Just ,finished watching Your Lovely outing on such a Lovely River. Gets the old heart going when I hear " Hear we go " Please keep your wonderful videos coming. Many thanks and Kind regards Colyn.
Thanks for sharing this with us. I would really love to visit there one day. Take care. And looking forward to the next trip.
Well watching this just relived a very stressful day!. Thank you!. What a delightful spot to fish.
I like that Dave fishes while occasionally catching, unlike other videos that every cast is a world record.
There’s some history attached to that old bridge I would think. Lovely bit of water as well. I lived in Glasgow in the late 80s and must go back soon to visit.
Thanks for sharing Davey.
Such a wonderful fishing spot and no crowds to deal with.... I'm jealous of your blessing... :)
That laugh when you caught the grayling after changing your setup..... priceless!
The lady of the stream. The beauty that is the Grayling. Mostly they are caught via the nymph. For me when they take either an emerger or dry. They will always be whatever their size the most memorable fish of the day.

Nice stream Davie
I’d like to see some Salmon Davie….?! 🎣
Te veo muy mejorado, enhorabuena
Well Done!
Nice fishing video but it's a shame that you don't have a landing net to go fishing it's the essential equipment for fishing that should never be forgotten
Clearly not a bad day. Has anyone heard the expression A bad days fishing is still better than a great day at work ?
I'd have hooked 10 trees 5 min into the video
Bliss🤙
Beutiful
