Superb video. Going out tomorrow will be trying out the cormorants. Been fishing for 45 years for everything with fins recently took up stillwater trout due to ill health. These vids give me the same feeling i got as a kid reading the angling times and then all excited to try things out. Amazing really to get that buzz still. You have a way of presenting things that really engages the person watching Thanks mate.
A truly beautiful setting my friend.We in Alberta Canada have a similar lake called Boulder reservoir .It is stalked every year with great fishing. The lake was a creation of a company who purchased the rock quarry and out of their own pocket created this reservoir for all Albertans to enjoy. They are sticking to a no camping /day use only and I think that's wonderful.We need more day use areas in Alberta. Thank you for showing your perfect little spot.
Great to see you out fishing again we could see the excitement on you face at start of video thankfully in northern ireland i have been able to fish all lockdown but great to see you out again
Another great video Rhys, I was intending to fish similar style on Friday but having never fishing washing line on intermediate or straight line buzzer fishing this video is so well timed!
Hi, Great that we can fish again and another cracking video. I was at Garnffrwd on Tuesday and had 8 rainbows to 4lb and a spartic a bit bigger - all on shuttlecocks and suspender buzzers. A terrific day, hopefully there'll be more to come.
Nice one Rhys, Love seeing you back on the water. Its great showing the straight line buzzer. I think so many are switching to hanging them under the bung, which is fine, but are really loosing out on so much. Take care mate. Shaun.
It’s about the 4th time I’ve watched this video for tips. I batter it’s under an indicator, washing line, pulling lures, I’m yet to master straight line buzzers. It’ll come. Nice one Rhys! 👍🏻
Really informative video this mate, I've been fishing trout since I was around 13 years old, 28 now. Never tried to fish buzzers before only ever lures, I'm going to give this a try on the weekend!
Great video mate, was wondering if u could do a video on casting techniques for turning over long buzzer leaders and casting into the wind ? Really struggling with both at the moment.
Great video again! Was just thinking off changing tactics from lures and bung to a more natural approach and boom! You come out with this video. Fantastic
You were using cassette reels Rhys? Which ones? I bought a Greys Fin cassette reel recently, large arbour but narrow drum! It’s ok, but I’m not convinced the narrow drum is the optimal design? Cheers, Jonathan
Great Video Rhys, just like your others, is there any chance of actually showing your fly set up on the line before you start fishing, you explain it pretty well but a look at the leader and dropper fly set up would be great. Thanks
Crikey Rhys that green line shoots well, fairplay. Do you mind telling me what set up you're using, line wise, I saw the rod detail. Thanks for the upload. Really looking forward to visiting that place.
Been a course fisherman for years but I've moved up to Northumberland and today bought a beautiful And my first fly fishing rod and reel combo I'm buzzing I've got line that sinks what flys would you say I need as a must for any fly fisherman in thier fly box?
Hi Rhys I love your videos I seen you down your local lake Sunday before I subscribed I assumed you was doing TH-cam vids, I’m going to bigwell Sunday what fly and technique would you recommend please mate
All depends on how the fishery is fishing natalie. You won't go wrong with buzzers at this time of the year if conditions suit it. Otherwise adopt winter methods 👍
Hi Rhys, great vids mate. Learning a lot from them. Could you do a vid on your opinions, uses and brands etc of the tippet you use. Also fluoro vs copolymer. When and where to use each one and the benefit of using one or the other
@@RhysFishes it is, I am just a learned and I can say that I have learn lots of the content you do, I been dreaming with bigger fish, but I genuinely don’t know where those monster trout fishery are at, surely there is lots us anglers with same dream.. keep it up Rhys
Simply my opinion Ian. The same way you would rate whatever your top fishery in the uk is. Its entirely subjective but doesnt mean one is right or wrong.
thanks for the video. I have found your insights helpful for still water. I do have to say that what I can only describe as a "fishing park" is quite foreign to us anglers out here in the PNW (Washington State, USA)
Its almost the opposite in the uk. We have such a great variety of small and large stillwaters that it makes up the bulk of a uk anglers fishing. That together with a lack of rivers (or accesibility to them) drives that direction of our angling so much more.
@@RhysFishes that makes sense. I've fished lakes here deep for decades. Typically trolling for trout with wedding rings or a spinner on a conventional spinning reel set-up. Fly fishing our deeper lakes has proven difficult. Many of the lakes i love to fish are small but quite deep. Do you fish full sinking line much? There are times I need to target fish 20 feet or deeper.
@@TightLinesNW yes, on the deeper lakes we commonly fish in water 50ft deep. Most of the time that means Di7/8 lines and FABS or Booby flies. It's almost the standard for us in winter and the height of summer (if the upper columns of water get to warm)
In this video I used a cast of buzzers and cormorants. Both of which I have individual video’s going through the cast length and set up etc… Those may be of use to you 👍
Great stuff. With the small "strips" you're making with the buzzers is it really just to compensate for wind drift and keep fishing to a tight line as opposed to actually moving the fly?
Yes. There is some success to be had in moving the flies occasionally but for the best part any retrieve is just to ensure a moderately straight line is maintained
Hi Rhys, sorry didn’t know what other way to contact, been fishing on an intermediate line since I started and love it, however I get to point in the day where the fish just turn off, so assumed I needed another line, should have asked someone but I impatiently dived straight in and bought a snowbee 6” sink tip to get the flies down deeper, was this a good choice? Or what would you recommend? If you could give me some info on what fly to try on that line, leader length etc it would be much appreciated. Keep up the great work and look forward to the next vid 👍🏼
Great video mate, I’ve been seriously missing this place, unfortunately, it’s not really ‘local’ for me at the moment, so I’ll have to wait a little while longer. Never mind, Clywedog opens this weekend, and that is local! 😃
HI Rhys, Love the videos mate, outstanding. Would you recommend a 7 weight over 5, 6 for droppers / washing line. Ive tried droppers with my 5 weight and struggles a bit. Apart from lure fishing is a 7 weight still good for spring / summer fishing? Thanks
Afternoon Rhys, asked you a question about shrimps and how best to fish them, after a visit to the still water the fish are holding about 2/3ft in the water. Any suggestions how best to fish them? Straight nymphing or washing line on a midge tip, any advice would be grateful received
Hi Rhys, I was fishing buzzers today and the fish were often hitting the buzzer on the dropper.I was using a 3 turn water knot and hade sure I pulled the knot tight with deliver on it.Every time a fish took it it would pull the dropper off often taking the rest of the leader with it.(I was using Airflo g3 7lb) what could I do to stop this happening?
7lb airflo is usually ok on a 3 fly leader from my experience. It might have just been that the takes were that aggresive that the only viable option was to increase the leader strength. I know some anglers will fish as strong as 12lb on some of the bigger resi's when buzzer fishing.
Hi rhys, I have a question. So currently I fish a 6/7wt fly rod with WF7 line. I use mostly jsut wet flies but sometimes like to fish lures. I’m wanting a new fly rod and most rods are either 6wt or 7 wt not both 6/7wt rating. I was wondering if getting a 6wt will still cast lures like yellow dancer , and other bead head lures and cat whiskers fine? Also what is the vision still maniac like overall? Thanks mate
A 6wt will cast lures just not as well as a 7wt. The stillamaniac is lovely with the 6 being light and soft. The 7 is much stiffer but good for pulling! Buying a rod is a lot about budget really. A scierr srx 2 is a nice all rounder too
@@gus_mcg hi mate, ive a Greys GR60 10ft 7wt. Great stillwater rod for pulling wets and lures, very happy with it. For stillwater dry fly i use a Vision Onki 10ft 6wt which is incredible. A really fantastic rod for dry fly use. Extremely light and bends well into thr butt. Also have an 9ft 5wt GR50 for the river which is a lovely rod but now retired as I've upgraded.
@@fowlerfishing7137 hi, as a matter of fact I acc had been looking at the gr60 and have decided that’s the rod I am going for. I’m going for the 9ft6 7wt. As thats what I currrntly fish and covers all types of flies to fish for me no problem
Hi Rhys...when fishing a team of 3 buzzers the end my floating line keeps sinking and ends up as a sink tip!!...should this be happening or is there a cause or solution for this (mucilin etc)? Would like to sort as like fishing various methods but if there isn’t bung it is!!😂😂👍
It will happen to some extent based on how heavy the flies are below it. 3 varnished buzzers and fishing dead stactic will pull the tip of the line down. Mucilin can help but eventually they'll get pulled down anyway because of the flies. I don't mind if it happens a bit but it will affect your ability to see the end of the line
@@RhysFishes more the depth Tbf but not a major issue just wanted to check it wasn’t my line 🙈👍 glad to see you’ve been able to get back out mate and love the Welsh weather! Lovely and sunny, wind behind, 10 mins later wind into your face then pack up early cos it’s pissing down!!!😂😂😂🙈🙈 look forward to more vids 👍👍
Yes you are a skilled and talented angler. It is your love of the sport that shines throughout all of your vlogs. To the guys who fish a handful of times a season same fishery same fly same method. Every year. Complaining that. Oh if fished several times a week at loads of different venues then I would be just as good! NO! If they still only use the same method fly ect in only perfect conditions. They do not learn or change. Then nothing changes. You properly prepare and plan your day. Every second on the water is a learning curve. Read the conditions. Learn and hone the skills. Concentrate and adapting to changing conditions. Water temperature relative air temperature wind speed light conditions what food sources are how where and what are the fish doing are you simulating a food item or provoking an attack/ territorial response? Are you on or by the water for a pleasant day out. No interest is competing. To the last part I call BS every moment you are actively fishing. If not involved in a match as a individual or team member. Then you are competing against the fish. More importantly in the long run you should be competing against yourself. Maintaining and improving on your skill and knowledge base. You shine a light onto the path that actually helps us all. No matter what is the stage of our experience. Please just keep up the quality of your channel. Every positive step is a poke in the eye of the anti angling groups.
Hi Rhys, I thought you used the Agility 2 rods? Question: would you go to a 5wt for nymphs / buzzers if they were up in the water? Would it be the same answer for both small waters and reservoir from a boat
I've switched across to the visions the past few months, they are great rods. 6 or 7s i generally stick with on resi's and small stillwaters. 5's can work but you won't be able control the fish as well as you would with a heavier outfit.
You clearly watched a video of it and hopefully learnt something useful from a total fishing genius for when you do fish a water you do find acceptable. So everyone gets a win. But why slap down something that gives a lot of people pleasure many of whom also fish rivers and some who don't have great mobility to do so.

Loved the video mate and Subscribed
I always enjoy your videos.
Great to see you out fishing again we could see the excitement on you face at start of video thankfully in northern ireland i have been able to fish all lockdown but great to see you out again

Hey rhys you make it look so easy keep them comming
Lucky you Rhys, can wait to get back at it. Enjoy.
Excellent video, that place looks like fishing heaven.
Great videos ryhs.👍
Cheers derek!
Great video yet again... great advice also.. stay safe ...R....
Super, thanks, ;-)
It’s about the 4th time I’ve watched this video for tips. I batter it’s under an indicator, washing line, pulling lures, I’m yet to master straight line buzzers. It’ll come.
Nice one Rhys! 👍🏻
straight lining is a different thrill, the line will literally rip out of your hand sometimes.
@@RhysFishes yep, I’d imagine it’s the best feeling other than Dry fly.
Great vid Rhys, I'm learning lots 🖒🖒🖒
Not jealous, no not at all....lol. Nice one buddy.
Always learn something from your vids, keep up the great content pal!
Class as always Rhys!
Really enjoyable video to watch, loved it!
cracking video. Hoping to get down to Garn in the next few weeks. I fish dries predominantly, any tips on leader set up and dry fly
Love these so unique very informative
Hi Rhys can you tell me if you use tapered fly leaders with 8lb tippet or just 8lb line straight from the fly line or braided loop? Thank you
Tapered for dries. Straight through for everything else!
@@RhysFishes Cheers mate tight lines :)
So I'm guessing 3X or 0.20mm dia. fluorocarbon depending on the brand quality. Superb videos btw.

The 6wt is perfect for this kind of thing!
How's the vision stillmaniac 9.9 Rhys to fish with pal I'm looking similar set up fir drys what line do you recommend cheers
Cortland 444 or sl. The vision is now my go to. A review vid on the rod will be out next month
Looking forward to getting down to support Jamie!

For an all rounder go for a 7wt.
6wt if you want something lighter. I dont really bother with 5wts all that much, too light for how I fish/play fish.

Always learning from your vids young man what tippet would you recommend (make)
Rio flouroflex, airflo g3, fulling mill worldclass
what's your dry fly set up
Afternoon Rhys, asked you a question about shrimps and how best to fish them, after a visit to the still water the fish are holding about 2/3ft in the water. Any suggestions how best to fish them? Straight nymphing or washing line on a midge tip, any advice would be grateful received
Washing line on a floater or sink tip with hare's ear nymphs 👍
Many thanks Rhys, booby or fab on point?
Either. Just a matter of preference.
Thanks for taking the time to reply, very much appreciated. Please keep-posting the blogs are very much appreciated.
Hiya Rhys hope all is well. Just a quick question how long was your leader line ?
18ft - 6/6/6 - 3 flies
Hey rhys how do you deside when you use midge tip or intermediate, or sink tip?
A lot to do with the method. Nyphs and buzzers i prefer a sink tip over an intermediate. I have a video out next week on it 👍

Do you have to go to a trout fishery? why not just go down to a natural river or lake somewhere?
I don't have to go, I choose to go. But if you check my channel, you'll find plenty of natural river videos if that's your thing. Tightlines 🎣
And there's no mandatory winter close season on stillwaters 😊 each has it's own place and strengths/attractions.
Love the tutorials, but nothing like the real thing...
I wouldn’t enjoy fishing this water, too artificial!
It doesn’t make a difference if the fish are a pound or ten pounds, they are just stickies.
