Excellent video, wild brownies in stunning Scottish scenery.
My only comment about the tackle is that your landing net is one of those short trendy ones. I have one too, it’s a rather nicely made wooden one that hangs in my study, and that’s the best place for it!
Cheers tho I don’t know why my net gets picked on so much, it’s my river net but I like it because it’s light, I don’t mind bending down to net a fish
Great video and a great loch , im heading up this weekend to do the dry fly , good info although its supposed to be pouring down 😅
Cheers Danny, I’m sure you will get something rain or shine👍
If you don’t like paying big money for tackle check out max catch’s floating line , it’s every bit as good as the Rio gold for £15 , I’ve got both and there’s no difference
Appreciate the comment John, I will certainly check it out for an alternative for next season. Thanks for watching
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing pls do you won’t be disappointed, I’m actually buying a #5 tomorrow, unbelievable that the Rio gold cost £100 more !!
Great video , I was up that way not long ago but didn’t take my tackle 😩
100% fact!....I've caught hundreds of trout on the #7 sigma series set which only cost £80 for the rod reel and line! and the agility 2 was a great fast action rod for the price as well.
Cheers mate👍
I thought I'd spent a long time out of it with 18 years since i last cast a line, started again earlier this year and have changed my fishing with changing from stillwaters and rainbows to wild Welsh Brownies in upland Llyns and rivers plus Grayling, really enjoying my fishing atm, I've revamped my gear too, new lines, reels, rods, flies etc. However I've only used my floaters this season so my intermediate and sinker have been a waste, have gone lighter too using a #5 as well as a #7.
I notice you seem to stand in one place, try casting and taking a couple of steps left or right and repeat, you'll cover more fih that way, it's a tactic we use on welsh upland llyns.
Lovely markings on the fish and congrats on the vid, liking it 😀
Cheers for the feedback and comments mate, much appreciated, hopefully get mor trout fishing next season with some footage.
I love our wee highland lochs, the fish are always superb. What a great video, welcome back to the sport. You definitely do it justice showing off nice technique, beautiful waters, and most importantly, good fish care.
Thanks for watching Steve and many thanks for your comments, tight lines if your on the water next season🤞👍
great video, lovely scenery and a cracking day out...imagine what you could do there if you had your kayak..tight lines
Cheers Euan, would love to take the kayak there but it’s just too far from the road unfortunately.
No sound in the video mate
Not sure, what the problem is, there was sound from my end. Thanks for letting me know. I’ll get my mate to try, just to see if he can get sound👍
What a awesome spot to go and get away from it all and the colours of those wild brownies fantastic really enjoying your videos and look forward to seeing more 👍
Cheers Stephen, yes it certainly is stunning hope to do some proper hill walking and search out more of these hidden treasures. Thanks for watching
another great video, looks like a great days fishing.Any tips on midgie repellant.Got attacked by the wee buggers on my last fishing trip
Honestly mate I don’t. I’ve tried all sorts, I was advised to try Cubbys Midge Salve some swear by it and it’s made in Scotland. I’ve tried it a couple of times but it was like ringing the dinner bell
Avon Skin-so-soft. Don't know how it works but it does.
Is this up near loch ba area love fishing up there
Yes it is mate, it’s an awesome place
Haha I was way off I said on the road to Skye, silly north west coaster lol. Have a great fishing week people.
Always used to fly fish for trout yrs back and had some great days in Scotland but were big trout caught , but again doesnt matter as its all about enjoyment and fly fishing brings much of that , usedgo when trout season began on few lochs some seasons mid February and others End of February and beginning of March this all when the weathers often wasnt on our side but hail , rain or shine id be out there way back unlike today now Sea fishing is my thing with beach castor or with use never forget Bombardo float with hand tied lure on end which is a bit alike fly fishing in a way although easier on your arms for sure older now so its way im going Bombarda float ..As for start of season trout fishing on the lochs
Even recall once some guy i heard turns up for the start of season as couldnt wait to get season underway
Would be bagpiper would play and had us all first day of season all stood around he played bagpipes and would chrisen the loch with a bottle of Whisky whilst tune would play on bagpipes and then all fishermen gathered would get ok to get into boats they had been hired out and on their merry way ..But on this season i think back about this guy turned up in anticipation
On his arrival at the loch he was told -----> Sorry bud , but you wont get fishing today , as its all iced up big time 🤣
Poor guy he who could not wait for the start of trout season and so he walked away rather sheepily 😀
the guy he should have phoned in firstly 😁.
Anyhow ye some good times been had at the fly fishing, which i got into it once the Lochs
were becoming with fly only at the start of the trout seasons and onwards throughout season fly
Some lochs allowed bait later in the season and spinning also they had dates when allowed from
All lochs rules they had their own when start of season would be , often more than not was freezing cold \
as it is February and March in Scotland for sure , but in cold easier to catch id say .
Tight lines enjoyed the video as just seen this one now and good with good surroundings also .
Nothing beats the quiet serene fishing with great surroundings , and all u hear is the odd splash of the odd fish
in the water leap and the birds around you whistling away . Tight Lines Bud .🎣
Many thanks Stevie for taking the time to comment, it means a lot and very much appreciated. If you’ve not seen the rest of my videos on the channel I do pretty much everything from sea fishing shore and kayak to float tubing bank and river fishing. I also love using the bombarda float with flies and had many nice sea trout also on my videos. Tight lines buddy if your out and about and look forward to hearing from you again sir👍
Gorgeous scenery, wild trout, subscribed!
Cheers Richard and thanks for the sub very much appreciated👍
Enjoyed that, thank you, what size was that black sedge tied on? many thanks subscribed 👍
Thanks for watching and subscribing much appreciated. The black sedge was a size 12, quite a big pattern but they work even better when there’s a bit of chop on the water. Tight lines👍
I'm really enjoying your videos. No unnecessary dramatics, some beautiful locations and a lot of variety. Although I've dabbled in fly fishing and sea fishing, I'm almost exclusively a coarse angler due to my location. It's quite surprising how many skills are transferable between the different disciplines of fishing and you do a good job of explaining the methods you use.
Many thanks Marc, your comments are very much appreciated. I only started coarse fishing just over a year ago, which I have been hooked on from the start. Your right about the transferable skills between the disciplines although I must admit the learning curve has been steep but enjoyable. I even went as far and got a second hand match pole and have even fished a few matches. Now that’s a learning curve I didn’t expect. I do love a challenge.
A great video - it’s brought back happy memories of fishing the highlands, which I haven’t done in decades. The water looks very familiar and I’m guessing you were fishing the western side of Lochan na h-Achlaise. I agree with your assessment about buying gear. A good line is fundamental and I only use Rio these days, InTouch Gold, Gold Premier, In Touch Trout LT, Single-Handed Spey etc. Rio are not cheap but worth every penny. I would say it’s worth paying a few extra pounds for a good midrange rod that will serve many years, but I just can’t understand why people are prepared to spend a week’s wage or more to buy a top range rod that 1) is only marginally better than the midrange and 2) they can’t use anyway because they are bad caster. Giving a Stradivarius to a learner won’t make them Paganini. As for reels, don’t waste money on them. As far as I am concerned, the job of the reel is carry the line from the car to the water and back again. You’ve shown your modest priced setup catches fish and you had fun, which is what fly-fishing is all about. Don’t you just love it when the fish take the fly as soon as it lands on the water?
Great comments and feedback much appreciated. There’s not much that compares in terms of the visual excitement when fishing. That moment when the trout takes your fly on the surface and then connecting with the fish, it’s what sets it apart from any other fishing method.👍
Nice one mate , its years since i fished there but i think i'll have a trip up there soon . The Rio gold is a cracking line , i have them on a couple of my reels ..cheers Stevie (subbed)
Cheers Stevie, hopefully get more fly fishing done when the weather cools down a bit. Thanks for watching and sub much appreciated👍
Just subscribed mate good contents I'm up north next two weeks touring in the motorhome hoping to get some fly fishing done ,
Hopefully get some wild brownie sport , take care mate keep videos coming and can you use what 3words for your locations .
Thanks for watching Jim and for the sub very much appreciated. Good luck when your up north Bridge of Orchy
Special place that absolutely stunning 😍 I will be going past there soon camping in fort William for 5 nights , ive only started fly fishing on the local fisheries and I’ve only got a 7/8# weigh rod and line , I think I might take a drive to the angling centre and get smaller set up that line looked to shoot beautifully, Great videos new subscriber 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers Kevin and hanks for the sub. good luck when you get up there, it’s quite a good water for beginners plenty of sport even if most of them are small trout. Try casting in all the edged first there’s a lot of trout close in and be careful when wading the bottom can be a bit soft. Thanks again for watching👍
You must be on the west coast as I was up in Caithness fly fishing around the same time and no snow on high ground and the fishing was absolutely tops I think next year it’ll be two weeks up there as a week is never enough time but enjoying your videos as I love fly fishing don’t get me wrong when I was young I used to spin , worming, diving minnow you name we done it but for the last 45 years it’s been the fly and it’s great stuff 👍🎣
Many thanks for watching, I’ve never been Caithness way fly fishing, I have just taking up fly fishing again as I gave it up when I was a teen 35 years ago. I think I have a better appreciation and understanding of the sport now and thoroughly enjoying it even though I still consider myself to be a novice. Hope you get your two weeks next year👍🎣
Next time ur up try a loch ordie muddler stripped across the surface with a kate McLaren on the point no smaller than a size 10, the bigger the wave the bigger the fly
Thanks for watching and the information Mikey, I will certainly give that a try
Great video stunning place
Thank you
Those wee lochs offer some of the best fishing, just you, the rod, the fish, the cleggs 😃. The line does seem to suit the rod and casts well. Thanks, another nice video. Keep making these, much appreciated.
Cheers Phil, much appreciated.
Great video. Fished that loch a few times this year.i highly recomend you try.red tag wingless wickhams. And black pennel. Had great success with those two at that time of year.ypu also get a good hatch of olives. Keep an eye out for those...tight lines m8
Thanks for your comments, very much appreciated👍
What loch is it lorenzo ? there's a few of them up here and I'm guessing it's on the way to Skye but I cant be sure so I'm intrigued
Good stuff Douglas. I really enjoyed that! I have not fished that loch for years, perhaps it's time for a return visit. Agree 100% with you about the line. Buy the best you can afford, budget lines are fine, but I have yet to find one that matches the slick coating and shooting performance of Rio and Scientific Angler lines.
Cheers buddy really appreciate you watching the video and for the feedback. Yes the lines awesome feels really good. I’m glad I took your advice for the Rio👍. Looking forward to your next video mate
Snowbee, Wychwood and Greys have some decent lines.
Really makes the video when you give a commentary at the beginning and end Douglas, not to mention observations and comments throughout. Location, wind direction, conditions, species, history, tactics, tackle. Many of the comments below are complimenting your new tackle decisions which is based in your commentary and is not really about the fishing per se. The loch is beautiful, but how long would anyone watch a video of a loch for? Or even someone just fishing on a loch for? For me it´s your commentary that makes the videos really enjoyable.
Thanks for watching and your feedback as always. I think most people watch to pick holes in anglers ability, they fail to mention the stunning surroundings or the beautiful fish.
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing Unfortunately, in this weather it´s understandable if you're not out again for a while. Will look forward to next one in any case. Cheers Douglas!
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing As for picking holes Douglas, you go from zero to hero in no time with whatever species you try for. Very few people can do that. I´m a fly fisherman and that's bloody challenging with all the different rods and lines and leader set ups and flies. You must have fantastic multitasking skills to tackle coarse, sea, and game all whilst managing locations, kayaks, cameras, audio, work, and family. Hat´s off to you Douglas, and critics are usually just useless assholes who don't bother to think what it takes to produce something meaningful.
Way to many false casts which spook the fish but a great video, have fished Loch Ba and Lochan na h-achlaise across the road many times, super sport with hard fighting little fish.
Cheers for comments, I consider myself to be a novice when it comes to fly fishing and still learning to cast properly👍
Aye it crossed my mind too. I'm a culprit too. Good idea to wet your hand when handling them, less is more.
My favorite kind of fishing that.
Nice video pal!
Cheers much appreciated, hopefully more to come👍
Cracking video mate a wee foam beetle or cdc emerger 👍
Cheers mate and thanks for the advice, much appreciated👍
Love the rod got one at the beginning of the season nothing but praise for it
Cheers mate I’m happy with it for the price, thanks for watching👍
Nice day out. Great views and fishing. Are you allowed to fish from kayak on the lakes in Scotland?
Yes I would say most of them if there’s access to park and launch. It’s always worth checking before hand tho.
The lochs in Scotland
@@robertgreen5217 haha I know what you what you were asking, I often say lake fishing so other people know what I’m talking about. Like I said, usually if the venue allows fishing by boat they will allow kayak fishing as long as you follow the rules and local bylaws.
Fantastic👍
Great video. Loch Ba?
Cheers Bruce, it is🎣👌
too much talking crap get on with the fishing , show us what fly u are useing , make it more interresting , and use your net
If you think you can do better why do you not make your own clip rather than insulting somebody who is sharing with others
Thanks John👍
Great video.
I fish the wild lakes here in the comeraghs in co waterford ireland, cant beat the wild brown trout, i have the exact same outfit only with a greys line, cant beat Shakespeare fly rods and what I always say is the fish don't care how much the rod line reel cost its what flies you put on the business end that counts.
Keep the videos coming
Thanks Pat much appreciated buddy
It only took the first few minutes of viewing this video that I knew I was going to watch more of yours and subscribe! Your philosophy on tackle & costs is right on my wavelength! It’s 30 years since I last cast a fly line. I’m currently shopping for some tackle so I can get back out there, but I cannot believe the prices now (Yeah, Hardy etc always were expensive),and not withstanding the amount of tackle tarts out there paying ridiculous money (in my opinion) for kit. This is about getting out into the fresh air, catching trout, helping ones mental health & fitness, not about what label and price one pays for tackle. Brilliant video! Thanks for making the effort to produce it. - Jonathan
Fantastic comments and feedback Jonathan very much appreciated. I hope to do much more fly fishing in this coming season. Prices are crazy for everything for a well known brand. Unless you have actually fished with an expensive rod your literally taking someone’s word on how good it actually is but the bottom line is they won’t catch anymore fish than a cheap rod. No wonder the younger generations shy away from the sport when the tackle they need costs so much and no one is really showing them that you don’t need it to enjoy your fishing,
Looks like a Rio line
Yeah it's Rio gold elite. Bloody good line.
nice one all round
Thanks John👍
Good day out, many a good day had trout fishing on the fly up here in the highlands as a kid, salmon and pike now for me, although not for a few weeks yet as full hip op three weeks past. Mon the fish!!!!
Cheers pal, hope all goes well and tight lines👍
Th
The video was still good and it looks really stunning evening without sound mate love fishing the remote lochs keep doing it
Love your video, when I was a teenager 16 to 18 I spent many days in the highlands above Inverness, I am no 80 and would love to do so again,, of these wild brounies.
Thanks very much William. Do you fish much now? Im glad to have brought back some youthful memories for you.
Do you want someone to take you out William? Are you still around Inverness?
Hey I know exactly where this is and was tempted to fish there but could not find any info on permits. do you need one and where can it be purchased? Cheers.
Your absolutely right there is no permit information, I was told by several sources that no permit was received.
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing yeah I got a few people telling me that it was fine to just go. I even went to the tourist information center in glen coe and the old guy there just said to go for it. I chickened out but I won't next time! Cheers for the video! Hope I get luck half as.good as yours for next season. Tight lines.
@@Sunray-Scumbag good luck when you go, I’m sure you’ll do fine, there’s no need for long casting if there’s a bit off a wind.
