Learning a lot from you every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you Rhys.
Thanks karl
Rhys, I would have been curious to shorten the tail on that Ecstasy worm, since you were having them nip at the fly. Thanks for the videos. I always learn so much from your content.
Agree Nicole, or a smaller version of the same fly may have brought more success. Good to hear your thoughts 👍
Mate, I’m just watching is in complete awe. I’ve just started taking up fly fishing and have had a good 4-5 weeks of absolutely nothing taking or biting at all, caught one last weekend on a blue damsel, one thing I’ve always wondered mate is how do you know what depth to sit your fly at and how do you know what fly the fish are interested in so easily 😂
Great video and awesome footage, tight lines, thumbs up and greetings from New Zealand Trout anglers,,Tony.
Thanks Tony! Great channel btw 👍
Brilliant Rhys, 👍🏴
Cheers Stan
Bought the box in late summer after coming back to fly fishing after thirty odd years have not been disappointed learn learn learn 👍
Cheers martin. Glad it working for you. Merry Christmas!
No matter where you go fishing in the world I love how you can approach a random person and have a chat about the day and how things are going, getting out in the fresh air and catching a fish or 2 makes it all better
Got the box ages ago just missed this video.
Loved seeing how you used all the flies.
Thanks Michael
Fantastic, I always learn new things. Happy Christmas and tight lines for 2022¡
Merry Christmas oscar

@@RhysFishes brilliant 👍
Merry Christmas Rhys awesome channel. Keep them coming 👍🏻
Merry Christmas Jonny
Nice Rhys, best wishes and a Merry Christmas to all and families.
Merry Christmas peter
Once again , a great video which proves the importance of keeping the fly, egg or buzzer as static as possible.
I went fishing this week and it was really cold, dead calm and sunny spells. My success was all on indicator tactics where everyone else was just pulling lures through. Surprisingly a gold head daddy with rubber legs was the winning fly here. If all else fails try that fly! Have a great Xmas Rhys and keep producing these super videos.
Cheers Kmr. Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the Video and Merry Christmas, Rhys. I’ve learnt loads off you this year so All the best and tight lines for 2022. Keep them video’s and collabs coming 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers B C. Merry Christmas!
Again great video,very helpful,have tied flies similar to yours and have helped me up my catch under the bung,have a great day,keep up the great videos.
Cheers james
Top as always! 🔥🎣
Cheers jake
Brilliant video👏👏👍👌
Thank you 👍
Hi Rhys, Myself and Roberto won this box in a Fario comp just before Christmas and can't wait for a bit of fun in a box only competition asap. Happy Christmas and a prosperous hogmany when it comes. Tight lines. Lol
Best of luck with them Alan 🤞
Merry Christmas everyone and tight lines in the new year.
Merry Christmas Brian!
@@RhysFishes thanks Rhys.
Thanks once again Mate for a very good instructional video. I have finally had 3 great sessions using the buzzer style fishing, on Monday caught 5 Tuesday 9 and Thursday 6, I watched your buzzer fishing with indicator and realised I was working the flys to quick in stead of static or very very slow. And yep I'm onto them, thanks Legend.Merry Christmas
Great news Michael! Merry Christmas.
I’ve noticed in a few videos you have that white rod carrier, have you a link to it as it’s a much tidier way to carry them around
They’re created by a kind man named bill bonas. You can locate him on Facebook
Another great video.. I've certainly caught more fish watching your tutorials Rhys . Merry Christmas tight lines in 2022
Cheers cdm, merry Christmas!
Great video but is it really fly fishing or just float fishing can't you just fish the fly without the attached floating fly it would make it more of a challenge..
I have a comp tomorrow forcast is bright sunshine and flat calm can't wait 😅🎣
How’d it go? 🙂
@@RhysFishes finished 5th m8 on 8 fish was only 12 fish that won it , it was only a donald macdonald memorial comp nothing to serious . All fish were caught on cormorants super slow fish your video helped m8🎣🎣🎣
@@quincym-e4680 good angling 👍
@@RhysFishes cheers m8 , what leader do u use for drys m8?
@@quincym-e4680 Rio 5lb or g3 6lb. Stroft for the river fishing
Excellent tips, thanks an happy Xmas 🎄 🎣
Merry Christmas stio
Really good tutorial Rhys. I did struggle a bit with Audio. Could be me as I have a problem with hearing. Take care mate. And have a great Xmas and an even better new year. Shaun.
Definitely not you. There were audio issues in this edit that I tried to iron out as best I could. Merry Christmas Shaun!
Very informative, as ever. I like the structured way you approach your fishing. I'm interested to know in what order you prioritise your changes when you want to increase your catch rate, specifically using the bung; do you first change your fly, depth or location? Also, I was at Ellerdine recently watching people fishing using the indicator. Many were casting out and either twitching it back, or using a slow retrieve. I have, up until now, tended to fish completely static. What are your views on this?
Static is king on the bung. I never move my bung quite honestly. In terms of decision making, it’s a lot down to experience and gut instinct. When you know there are fish in front of you, if nothing happens on the fly/depth within 10 minutes, I’m already thinking about the next fly, depth, method to go…
@@RhysFishes I appreciate the response, thanks!
Another nice short and informative video Rhys. Can you advise the floating line you use please. I use a wf 7 and recent purchases from many manufacturers have been disappointing and not how I remember lines being years ago. All now appear to have reel memory and only last a season.
Cheers Tim. Get in touch white the new haylie fishery and tell them I sent you. They do a white floater for around 20 Quid. Straight as an arrow. Would recommend 👌
@@RhysFishes many thanks Rhys will have a day there and get myself a line. A lovely well run fishery about an hour from me 👍😀. Thanks again
Great fishing Rhys merry Christmas and happy new year to you and all the family.I got myself a vision stillmatic rod outstanding but guy in shop advised a scientific angler mastery mpx but honestly mate it doesn’t turn over it falls in a heap at the end it’s pants waste of 90 quid hear the Rio gold is good any advice would be welcomed.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏴🏴🏴
Jeremy uses a Rio gold floater and rates it highly. You can pick up a very cheap floater from the new haylie (around £20) that’s what I use now and would recommend going with. Merry Christmas!
@@RhysFishes who makes these lines sorry pal.Thanks all the best
Which fishery was this Rhys? Looks nice and quiet.
Eisteddfa fishery
Hi Rhys, I have a question, I want to start fishing the large reservoirs, what methods at what time of year would you use as a starter, thanks in advance
This time of year is very hit and miss on larger reservoirs. If the lake has a healthy population of coarse fish and fry, you can go down the route of targeting fry feeders with minky style patterns. If the lake doesn’t have this then consider what depth the fish are sitting at and go down after them. A Di7 with boobies or fabs is a regularly often used method at this time of year. Fishing can be hot for certain parts of the day and it’s about capitalising on those periods when the fish are active
Hi Rhys
What line were you fishing the apps on floating or sinking
Sinking
Great video, how did you get on at the comp? Have a great xmas
Not bad bigfernsy. Missed out on 1st by one fish. Good to have a hard comp session though 👍
What/where is this fishery Rhys?
Eisteddfa mike
What did you say sir, bung? What does
That mean?
th-cam.com/video/cwdRO3W3vXw/w-d-xo.html
Where is that place rhys
Eisteddfa fishery
Where you fishing bud
eisteddfa fishery Paul
@@RhysFishes sorry to keep on pal where about is that
Is there a website plz bud tight lines
Incorporating coarse fishing methods into fly fishing, is just wrong, thought you were better than that...
😂😂😂 judge me all you want. I couldn’t care. Have a nice day 😃
Hi Rhys, As relative beginner I watched this video yesterday (15 Jan 24) and fished today in identical conditions. Usually I would have fished different lures / retrievals and failed. So, I fished a bung with an orange blob, had 4 great takes, and landed 3 decent fish! Great advice, thanks very much please keep all this information coming!!! 😎 Garryl
Class as always Rhys, thanks.... will try at Farmoor next week.
Good luck Nigel!
Love seeing how you approach a day and fishery given a set of conditions. It's incredibly helpful to hear the what and why
No probs Paul, glad it was of help
Sorry not at those prices. I get more flies from Iain barr and craig barr. Theremis a good blob fly, it looks jelly like. Trouble is with blobs the fish gulp them down deep, so remove any barb
Thank you for sharing....very interesting method.....How long of a leader are you using?
10ft generally
Paul from Two Novice Anglers here. Another great video! We learned a lot again. Enjoy your Christmas. We look forward to more videos next year.
Cheers Paul. Merry christmas!
Another great video Rhys!
I'm in the NW of the U.S. these small private fisheries are an anomaly for me. In the drone shots... are the off color waters a new pond the land owner is building?
Cheers tightlines Nw! For the uk these type of private run fisheries are our bread and butter. All river fishing is also owned by clubs etc… and can be limited to numbers of anglers per day (being very small). Regarding the lakes, the left lake is full of course fish and is fed via a different stream, hence the colour difference. The bottom lake is currently being dug out 👍
Quality Edit Rhys - Merry Christmas to you and all your family. Thanks for all the tips that have undoubtedly improved my angling. Tight lines for 2022 !
Cheers James. Merry Christmas
Informative video Rhys
Merry Christmas to you and your family
Cheers meach. Merry Christmas!
Another great vid Rhys. Merry Christmas to you mate 👍🏻
Merry Christmas Kevin!
Yes yes.....looking forward to this, let’s go
Enjoy
Love your channel, Rhys. i'm new to fly fishing and i'm trying to understand how to fish in stillwater. i have (probably) a dumb question: When you say "leader" you mean tapered leader?
For the best part, we rarely fish tapered leaders in stillwaters. There isn't really a need for it like there would be on a river. So I'd usually fish just straight through fluorocarbon. The only time I would revert to a tapered leader on a stillwater is for dry fly fishing 👍
@@RhysFishes Thanks for your answer Rhys!
Where do you get your landing net from Rhys ?
Glasgow angling
Excellent video Rhys plenty of tips 👌
Cheers Allan 👍
Beautiful!
Thanks!
Good video again sir find this time of year fish tend to want it static or very slow new hailie still getting them on drys was hoping to go down next week for a day but covid hit family so house bound until after new year keep videos coming for us who stuck in doors 👍
I like new haylie and Middleton. My favourites.
@@brianr9529 heard good reports about Middleton never fished it and only 2 minutes from my sisters house
@@neilandrew961 its 15 minutes from me. About 5 acres about 12 feet deep. Browns to 10lb blues rainbows and tigers. Loads of fish in it and only started fishing it recently. Dries always work.
Thanks Neil. Merry Christmas
Excellent as usual
Cheers bob
