Now that's my kind of fishin'!... wild trout from small ponds on foot. Here on Vancouver Island, B.C. our wild, native trout are Coastal Cutthroat trout. They are gorgeously hued, full finned and willing risers. And they put up a good scrap when hooked. Alas, we are limited to having only a single fly on our tippet, so am not able to give them multiple choices. So, most of the time a single dry fly gets their attention. The rise is the prize... a beautiful fish is a bonus. Cheers!
The days are getting shorter and colder at the bottom end of the world, barely 3 weeks till the winter solstice, so I am enjoying your trips on river and loch. It’s always worth prospecting around structures like rocks, logs, tussocks etc. In Tasmanian lakes, we often concentrate on the margins within a couple of metres of the bank, especially on windward shores where food is blown in. Our browns like cruising there, or lie in ambush waiting for smaller fish or frogs.
We have snow midges here. You see them in the spring before the snow melts when the temperature is around 0° Celsius. They're the same size and there are so many they will make the snow look dirty in places, but they don't bite.
Great content again Davie. Some fine wee brownies as wild as the hills. Cracking last fish, wondering whether it was wild or one of the stocked fish. Hope you get back on the river soon, maybe some Salmon about after the rise. Cheers 👍
Hi @Paradise_found, It was a Cadence line I was using which is a lovely line to use I have a few of them to suit the rods from them as well..I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I have attached a link to the lines for you to see.... All the very best Davie www.cadencefishing.co.uk/product/cadence-csm-fly-line/
I like to use stripping basket fishing from the bank and any place where you have the opportunity to make long casts. It is easy to find yourself tied up in fishing line, feeling a bit foolish. Worse than that, is tripping yourself and falling down. It also makes it easy moving along the shore and fast moving streams and fishing from float tubes and boats. Besides that, it keeps your expensive fly line better protected from wading shoe titanium spikes. Here is a question I think about, why spend large sums of money buying a beautiful large arbor Fly reel with a finely made carbon disk drag system and never use it. 🤔🙄😅
Crikey. That is beautiful fishing ❤. Thanks so much for posting as always!
Thanks for showing everybody just what great escapes artists little loch broon troots are.

Great stuff. I dont mis the midges. Brought many a grown man to tears
Many thanks, Davie! 👍🏻
Some very nice Trout in there, cracking fishing!
Thanks. That was fun and a learning experience. I’ve seen you move flies on the river too. I’m so hung up on dead drift I need to give it a try.
Used to walk there from bellsbank in my youth. Always remember my dad catching a 4.5pun eel on the worm.
I was suffering the midges in Donegal this past couple of weeks, you only had to mention them and my head started itching | good video though Davie
