I’ve had pretty much a whole week of that weather highs 30s to low 40s wind and sleet and snow and no fish . Heading out for a couple of hours here to see if I can catch anything but a cold . Thanks for sharing 🥃🥃🥃 :-)
Hi again Mike I had another great days fishing on Saturday conditions totally against us bright sunshine and a cold east wind that was making waves upstream . I went home with a face like someone had smacked it for hours . then found something to take the pain away 🥃 Cheers Iain 🥃
They say that practise makes perfect Mr Mazo I am not sure if I need more practise for my big day but I bet that more practise days are on their way ...... Cheers Iain. 🥃
The camera doesn't pick up the total amount of flash from the lightening of the clap of the thunder Brian. it was quite frightening I saw Eric down stream rushing to get out of the water at the same time I was heading for the river bank. All of my trips this year have been in water that's too high or rising but the weather seems a bit more settled but cooler . Cheers Iain 🥃
Kevin I think you should give yourself a pat on the back for managing to hook a fish . I understand the disappointment of not landing it ........... just think that fish may have been put off going for another fly and go on to spawn hundreds of other monsters for future catches All the best and keep your rod bent Cheers Iain 🥃
Hi Iain, what a beautiful piece of water you were fishing there I thought with that storm and the hail might of livened it up a bit but no, Still it made for great viewing as always and thanks for sharing Iain. Steve.🍷👍
Thanks Steve the camera doesn't pick up the full effect of the lightening or thunder I think that the fish were swimming for cover while the anglers were climbing out the river . I never checked the weather forecast but will next trip Cheers Iain 🥃
The camera doesn't pick up the full effect of the lightening or the thunder . as you say Paul scary frightening I will check the weather forecast next trip Cheers Iain 🥃
Hi again Marcel. this year I have managed fishing 4 times and each time the river has risen or rising . Just seem to time it wrong at the moment . I,ll need to check the weather next outing Cheers Iain 🥃
right place at the wrong time James . there seems to be a theme in my outings this year . change in the weather has been forecast just a case of finding the right place to be 😀. Cheers Iain 🥃
I haven't had a decent day this year Derek the water has always been rising or already a bit to high . weather looks good for this weekend 🤞. Cheers Iain 🥃
Its a beautiful stretch of water Steve and can be productive I just seem to have been at the right place at the wrong time so far this year Cheers Iain 🥃
Hi James The camera doesn't pick up the flash or the horrendous noise from the thunder . I was ducking when the clap was right above my head . next time the weather forecasters will get my attention Cheers Iain 🥃
I haven't fished off the back of the island before Richard and wasn't sure where the top of the beat was . Eric wasn't that great at guiding. I may have to give him a final warning. The current at the point I crossed was deceptively strong. Cheers Iain 🥃
Ah hard graft last Wed thur Friday Iain after the big coloured rise rise ..at Lees.. rather like Unicorn fishing At least river was fishable on Thursday Did get to cast at rising trout after a good March Brown /LDO hatch
I had the back of the motor full of salmon gear and sandwiches no room for trout gear I may take some next trip............there again that might be when a salmon decides to come past and would grab the fly . Cheers Iain 🥃
That was a new line that I had just bought Karl and first time casting with it . it's a Rio Game Changer 725grain f/h/I/3 I think that it would handle a 15ft tip quite easily . I am thinking of getting a lighter line for when the water warms up a bit Cheers Ian 🥃
Thunder means best get out of the water with that ‘lightning rod’. No fish is worth getting electrocuted over … The elements were not in your favor in this video, unfortunately!
The recording does not pick up the intensity of the lightning or the noise from the thunder. I was out of the water a lot quicker than it looked on the video Cheers Iain 🥃
the chances of a fish in those conditions are nil I think I would have had more chance getting struck by the lightening . the river level was a bit high and that wasn't helping either Cheers Iain 🥃
@Iain SB We need a new sport - shotgun fishing! 12 Bores (the gun, not 12 dull bastards), trout/salmon and whiskey. What could possibly go wrong? Guaranteed fun in any weather. Any takers?

That was quite a spell of weather you had there Iain. Keep at it, you're gonna get in amongst them next time. TLs...😎🏴
They say that practise makes perfect Mr Mazo I am not sure if I need more practise for my big day but I bet that more practise days are on their way ...... Cheers Iain. 🥃
Delightful spring fishing, Iain. Beautiful river and all very civil.
It's good to get a nice day at the river............. It may come Jon
Cheers Iain 🥃
Great video Iain! Thanks for surviving all that weather and dodgy wading! 🥃

Nice water Iain....maybe next time. I lost a big springer last saturday...to say I was gutted is an understatement...maybe next time...

Nice to be on the River Iain ,Dodgy conditions though, I was caught out the middle of the river lighting striking around me scary time 🙈😂
The camera doesn't pick up the full effect of the lightening or the thunder . as you say Paul scary frightening
I will check the weather forecast next trip
Cheers Iain 🥃
Very nice spot Iain! A place for kings in the past, looks like 👍
Not so nice conditions though 😅
Greetings Marcel

Cheers Iain 🥃
That was an apocalyptic downpour Iain... A lovely bit of water that.. looks like it would hold a fish or two!? Cheers James 🥃
right place at the wrong time James . there seems to be a theme in my outings this year . change in the weather has been forecast just a case of finding the right place to be 😀.
Cheers Iain 🥃
What a bloody horrible day Ian you tried your best mate fair dues
I haven't had a decent day this year Derek the water has always been rising or already a bit to high . weather looks good for this weekend 🤞. Cheers Iain 🥃
Nice video Iain.
Thanks Colin our great Scottish weather I hope next trip the weather will be a bit kinder Cheers Ian 🥃
You are due for great success!!!!
I have had plenty practise Bob All I need is some better river levels and decent conditions Cheers Iain 🥃
I agree!! I've had plenty of practice too. A fine and pleasant misery
That first run looked the ducks guts , unlucky again bud
Its a beautiful stretch of water Steve and can be productive I just seem to have been at the right place at the wrong time so far this year Cheers Iain 🥃
brave man for sticking it out next time you will get just rewards 🤞
Hi James The camera doesn't pick up the flash or the horrendous noise from the thunder . I was ducking when the clap was right above my head . next time the weather forecasters will get my attention Cheers Iain 🥃
I always crossed at the top of the island and worked down from there.
I haven't fished off the back of the island before Richard and wasn't sure where the top of the beat was . Eric wasn't that great at guiding. I may have to give him a final warning. The current at the point I crossed was deceptively strong. Cheers Iain 🥃

what line do you use?

Rather safe than sorry! But it is important that you share awereness about this. Some folks just keep on fishing in such conditions, unfortunately!
Fishing in the UK. Pissing down 95% of the time. Nice to see you have a go at it though. Does heavy rain/hailstones improve things at all??
the chances of a fish in those conditions are nil I think I would have had more chance getting struck by the lightening . the river level was a bit high and that wasn't helping either
