Some lovely fish there, Dave, and some really good angling. It is surprising, isn't it just where these trout will lie. I had a good fish from the Yeo Sunday evening from a tiny spot that you'd swear would only produce small fish. It wasn't until I waded through the pool that you could see the depression in the stream bed with tree roots for cover. Easy to walk past such a spot when viewed from our world.
Thanks, Chris! Yes, you're right, it only needs a hole the size of a washbasin to hold a decent fish, especially if there's shade there, too. I'm also backing off the utube thing, too, it's just too time-consuming trying to publish every week. At one point I was getting annoyed with myself if I left my camera at home! Last week I fished the park lake for bream and tench and broke my pb for bream 3 times in an hour. Guess what? No charge on camera! Strangely it didn't bother me, so maybe I'm half cured of my video obsession 😂 Good luck! 👍
Yes, thanks Davie. I'm pretty blessed here! Might come in handy when I'm too old to drive! 😂 serves to demonstrate the importance/advantage of familiarity with your waters, and that means lots of short sessions on local beats. I never really get bored with it and it's an obvious choice to practice new techniques and test new flies. 👍👍
sorry, should have gone through it in the video! 7ft 3 # fly rod, double taper 3 # floating line, 9ft tapered leader to 4lb tippet, and spider nymph. thanks for watching. 👍👍
hi Dave I'm enjoying your videos, keep them coming. can you tell me are these club waters or are they free to fish? Hoping to get out on my local river next week although casting could be a bit of a problem with all the trees, so lots of roll casting needed. thanks again.
Thankyou Michael. this particular one is free, on public land, I fish a spread of club and public waters, but hardly ever commercial rainbow trout stillwaters and never coarse commercials! I like the challenge of wild fish rather than stocked. Good luck 👍👍
@@soultrader57fishingandmusi25 thanks for the reply. you should have on the river ribble at mitton with the river ribble trust token tickets cheap at the price also. thanks again
Nice fish there mate, always almost been dry fly only no matter if there is fish rising or not. Ive got a little stream that i fish and it’s sometimes got a few good fish in it, I actually posted a video on my channel of me fishing it if you want to have a look, was the nymph you were fishing unweighted? There is some really good pools that I Walk past to get to my spot, they are really deep into fast runs, really like a Dartmoor stream down in England, Ive always wondered what Would happen if I drifted a nymph through it like what you were doing
thanks! I do try to mix it up a bit! that nymph is only weighted by a few turns of fine wire under the thorax, it fishes mid water upstream nymph style rather than how you would fish a euro nymph. more recently I've covered rising fish that refuse dries (usually through drag) with it and connected. The 2 better fish in the video came from tiny pocket pools where dry flies would be washed under or drag immediately. I'm sure it would work on your stream too. I may do a real time video of the tying sequence with narration once I've tested it a little more. I'll take a look at your channel! good luck 👍👍
@@soultrader57fishingandmusi25 ah sounds good, will have a look for that video and tie up some myself, Thankyou! Unfortunately that night I recorded was a very slow night, only tiny fish, think they were just attacking the fly, I was there again a few days ago and had a few descent ones 👍 a salmon even attacked a fish I was bringing in!!? It was crazy!
I work near Ramsbottom. Been fishing near Brooksbottom. I have a little something that might be of interest to you! Let me know if you fancy a quick dry fly sesh!!
That sounds promising Dave, ATM there's 2 reasons why I'm holding back on fly fishing - 1 - weather seems still a little too warm for trout welfare (though cooler than last week!) and 2 -I've a RSI problem in my wrist /hand which is making casting difficult for more than a few minutes! if cooler towards late august and my hand recovering faster you're on! thanks! is Brooksbottom near Summerseat? if you Pm me on Facebook?

Another excellent video, I dont know how you do it, if i go there im happy with 1 or 2 and you never cease to amaze me. Keep up the great work.
Ha ha! Thanks! Can't do it anywhere else though! 😂😂👍
Some lovely runs and features on your local stream Dave. Nice one doing the catching with your own fly too, great stuff 👍

Lovely stream and a great video too. Well worth watching David. Thanks for uploading.
Very welcome! 👍
That’s a wonderful stream. The markings on the fish are beautiful. Tight lines
thanks ever so👍👍
Great result
Cheers Martin 👍
The waters look very similar (beautiful little pools ect) to somewhere I'm joining next year. Great fishing! Could I ask your setup please?

Yes, basically start at the bridge and it's a very nice walk upstream.
