Lovely video- really captures many of the reasons I fish, and on a piece of river I have a particular affinity for, having made many of my first experiments, mistakes and successes in river fishing and fly tying over the last couple of winters. I also love that it’s free and the fish are wild. I think I caught that big one in the same spot last winter - it’s a beauty…
It's a lovely bit of river and certainly gives a lot of people a chance to fish this kind of river without having to shell out lots of cash. And that fish was truly stunning.
Pity about all the waste in the river. Other than that, a lovely outing. And you have answered a question I posted elsewhere regarding the use of conventional trout indicators. Thank you 😊
Awesome! 👌😍. I've been following your film work since the beginning, mate, but now with this film you've taken a fantastic step forward in the direction of professionalism. This short film can be played anywhere, anytime, and it holds its own among the big films! I know that there is a lot of work in it, not only the technology that made it great, but also the Human! Huge congratulations to him!
Enjoyed this one - it looked like you were using a new camera and/or lens? You certainly make sure to maintain the urban motif with the close ups of the rubbish in the waterways! As a suburban fly fisher (saltwater) myself the last 15 years the idea of fishing in a pristine wilderness mountain stream seems like a scene from another planet! Keep the content coming!
Same camera/lens set up since last May. I was using a monitor, focus puller and cage for the first time. Image quality is actually worse in parts than last vid as I pushed colours too much which caused artifacts.
@@flyfishinglondoner Ahh - the challenges of technology - the best fishing is usually in the most challenging lighting. Hoping to put together a video of mullet chasing in a mangrove creek with houses all over the backgrounds ... try to get similar vibe to your style but didn't actually dialogue with the angler.
Great to see the success in the urban rivers paricularly as Grayling need clean water.. er wonder if there might be a spring hatch of flies. Yes Thymallus pulls hard with that sailfin...and can be very obliging to the fly Yes great to be out doors with our historic sport..go for the adrenalin and keep tying the hares ear beadheads. Klink and dink is a good method...yes it works on the Northern streams or Welsh Dee which is an excellent grayling river. Spring and the trout ...and riverside birdsong will be with us again. ....and the wading and hoping for salmon Simon Artley Manchester
I love how in the beginning you just give us little partial views of Ellie. (Ooh I got to the part where she talks about not showing her face on socials! Now it makes more sense ... though I did like the idea of a tease in the beginning and then doing a reveal) It's also interesting to remember that those in other countries often have to pay per stretch to fish. THe shots of trash in the river are sad to see, but that's often the life of an urban stream.
Most of that river is run by different clubs, often requiring a lengthy stay on a waiting list. Day tickets on said river depending on the season can run to three figures. It's worse in the SE, once you elsewhere prices are reasonable, dirt cheap or free!
Thanks for the video great fish to end with, are you fishing in or around London? If so what river? Please keep the video's coming looking forward to the next one.
I won't name the river but it's 1-2hrs from London by car/train depending on where you live. It's a very well known stretch that can be found with a little effort on Google. Tight lines.
I never name any of the venues I film for obvious reasons. This is a well known stretch of chalk stream that can be easy to find with a bit of research. Tight lines.
Great video Ellie & Tim…lovely grayling!...thanks for sharing
Great video. Its a lovely bit of river. :)
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. It makes the effort worth it!
Loved this one just like always.
Big up Ellie for battling against the social media weirdos and making about the fish and the love of angling.
Great bit of grayling fishing, I had a stream to fish in Wales cracking sport, well done😊
Very nice video highlights the joy of fishing, nicely shot
Great film and a better soundtrack ;) each one more polished than the last ..

Brilliant video Tim, best one yet!
I'm humbled that you think so Rich. Hopefully see you for a session soon.
Superb Fishing and 🎥!
Another quality video, really enjoyed watching, love it that it's on a free stretch of London river and not an overpriced chalk stream, tight lines
The name and location of the river were not named to avoid causing any added pressure - I'm sensing that you may know it?
Pity about all the waste in the river. Other than that, a lovely outing. And you have answered a question I posted elsewhere regarding the use of conventional trout indicators. Thank you 😊
That was a mega Grayling from a free stretch. I need the rivers to drop so I can go back out again.
Nice video.
What boggles my mind is that I can catch almost the same Grayling 7000km away . What a spectacular species
Great content yet again, honest view of the river and some superb grayling. This is easily the most underrated channel on youtube.
Thank you for your kind words, much appreciated.

Thats very kind of you. Much appreciated.
Yet another masterpiece Tim . Keep em coming 👍🏽👍🏽
Great stuff and a lovely soundtrack!!!👍👍👍👍👍
Many thanks!
Loving the vid Ellie & Tim. Hope I'm not one of the SM weirdoes 😉 Envy you as we have no Grayling in our local Chalk Stream.
phenomenal work again tim. absolutely loved this one!

Big step up in quality . Well done
Keep them coming Tim! ❤🙌
Bit disappointed that I didn't sport the artefacts in some scenes - pushing 8bit footage too far.
Big shout to the female anglers out there killing it 🙌

Thanks for sharing. Great bit of angling and some super grayling on the fly( shame about the idiots who are incapable of finding a rubbish bin)
Thank you for watching

@@flyfishinglondoner do the free sections get really busy?
@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker Variable. The further out of cities you go the less busy. That said there are some places that are still lightly fished gems.
Love it !!!
Loved this Tim!
I Iive in London and so wish I knew where I am able do some fly fishing of this nature.
An interesting and enjoyable film. Great fishing - shame about the litter left by some people.
Thanks for the video great fish to end with, are you fishing in or around London? If so what river? Please keep the video's coming looking forward to the next one.

Thanks for taking us along some cracking Grayling and a nice way to catch them was that near Ricky ?
I won't name the stretch, but it is very well known. Thanks for checking out the vid.
But what’s the river? Did I miss that ?
I never name any of the venues I film for obvious reasons. This is a well known stretch of chalk stream that can be easy to find with a bit of research. Tight lines.
