Well done Danni having the gumshen to give a new fishing style Ur an inspiration to anyone just get out there give it a go lifes to short not too tight lines bonny lass from scotland ❤
When you cast think of a clock bring the rod up.then when you feel the line on pulling back push the rod forward.thats whet mean by a clock 🕒 tick tock hope this helps you Hinny 😊
Thanks Stephen I’ll be more well prepared after my first casting lesson, I really need the lesson before I go fishing again to put me in with a chance of catching 🤩👍🎣
Great effort. I've been fly fishing for about 20 years and I'm still learning something new every time I go out. You can practice your casting anywhere Danielle. I used to amused the local kids practicing on the local school field. I used a hoola hoop as a target and a short leader with a cats whisker fly on which helped with the turnover. Also an easy cast to learn for still waters is the roll cast. There's much to learn and it does take a lot of trial and error but my best advice would be to just keep going at it and enjoy that moment when your line takes off with a fish on the end of it. There's loads of good tuition videos on here for casting and line retrieval techniques. Welcome to fly fishing.
@@fishinghinny Aye there's a number of casts for different styles of fishing. The basic cast, the one you're learning, is the one you will use in the main but a roll cast is a canny one to have in your armoury when you're beginning. Orvis have some good casting videos on youtube. The reason I mentioned the roll cast is after weeks of trying to teach my nipper how to cast a line I showed him the roll cast and he had his first trout on still waters some 10 years ago. It was the thing that kept him going. I'm the treasurer of of my local club and we have a number of members who take new club members out for tuition and help them with choosing the right gear and we even have a collection of kit we let new members use to try our different weighted rods and lines and reels. It's worth finding a local club as I'm sure you'll meet folk who will gladly help you getting started. Our club can be found here rgfc.co.uk/. If you ever find yourself in our area email the club secretary for a guided day on our river. I'm sure you'll find a similar warm welcome from clubs up in the North east. Tight lines mate ;)
Hi there, as pointed out by others when casting always start with the tip near the water, raise to 10 o’clock then accelerate to 1 o’clock pause for a 2 seconds before bringing the line forward with the tip stopping about 3 o’clock lowering the tip towards the water. One tip to stop your wrist doing all the work is to tuck the butt of the rod up your sleeve.
Nice to see you trying out another fishing discipline . The casting lesson is a good idea. I taught my best pal to fly fish, and she loved it. The smile on her face when she hooked into her first trout was a special moment. I tie flies and would like to send a selection to you. I'll explain what the flies are and how best to fish them.
Thanks Colin I can’t wait to hook into a fish on the fly rod 🤩 I’ve made a note of this, and will be setting up an email address for FH which I will pass to you once I’ve have it 👍🎣
Well done Dannielle for trying another type of fishing, fly fishing is very addictive and you will become totally engrossed. I'm now 63, started fishing with a worm when I was 6 years old, progressed into fly fishing and fly tying and haven't stopped since. You'll be tying your own flies soon, get ready to remorgage the house.🤣.
Hi Danielle, great that you’re trying fly fishing. I fly fished for a lot of years. After watching your efforts you are doing a lot of things wrong but I’d like to offer one tip to you. You must keep the fly line tight when you are retrieving otherwise you will never feel a take. The main thing that you need to remember is to point your rod at the water and keep the rod tip only a few inches from the surface of the water. Fly fishing is an all consuming method and is so diverse, there are so many flies and lines and you will soon be hooked. What I promise is that once you experience that first take from a trout you will be totally engulfed in the sport. Definitely keep trying. I’ll be with you all the way ❤️🐟
Good first effort. Definitely a casting lesson will help. Try to keep the rod tip closer to the water, otherwise any takes will take up all the slack line before you connect with the fish. If you are using a sinking fly try letting it sink for different times so you are covering different depths and vary speeds. Slow is often better for nymphs.
Hinny you were brilliant. Forget distance for now & never try to push it, 10 yards, is what the rod is ideally designed for. just continue to practice your technique & always SLOW down. Fish the fly right to your feet too, as the fish often follow it right to the edge. Keep your net handy, just in case- you've got as much chance as anyone. You don't suit quiet though !
Thank you for this video. I bought a Lidl fly fishing kit during lockdown but have never had the confidence to try it. I'm really looking forward to giving it a go now.
Well that's a bit different Hinney good on you for trying for yourself you were getting much better and can imagine you will soon be filling a bag full of rainbows !! Ps don't forget the codling 😊
Superb! You did way better than my first attempt and I almost drove my mate to tears when he was trying to teach me to cast lol Keep going and it will all come good
Well done Danielle I cant get the hang of it 😢, my granddaughter took 2 it ,like a duck 2 water😮 , and let's know 😢 . Took a lady from my gym and her son , 4 a fish on Sunday he caught a couple of fish with a bit of help from my granddaughter 😊, the lady told me 2 day , we have created a monster 😮. Happy catching from Australia Nick 🇦🇺
Outdone by the young’uns again Nick 😆 I think kids learn quicker as they don’t worry about not being able to do things, they just crack on. Good that you’re introducing more people to the sport 👍🎣
with the floating line, its handy to have some weighted lures, orange and silver, black if the water is clear, lots of the time the trout are feeding near the bottom
Well done on your first attempt without tuition Danielle Give me a shout when you get back from st abbs First lesson thursday 😂 onwards and upwards 👍 Tight lines
Hi Danielle. I've seen a lot worse first attempts at fly casting. One tip is on the retrieve keep the rod tip a lot closer to the water surface. Only really want it a couple of inches above .
Danielle you’re a natural- you can tell that too much effort just compresses the Rod and you may as well use a pool cue. On the retrieve keep the Rod tip low and just keep everything slow and gentle, let the Rod do all the work👍 I think I was on my fourth try to get to the same level you’re already at
Thanks Steve It’s completely different to sea fishing, I think I’m going to enjoy getting better at it and I’m looking forward to catching my first fresh water fish 🤩
Lots of fly fisheries offer casting lessons might be of help to you .. Or try fontburn resivour with your spinning gear for some nice trout . Derwent reservoir would be great choice for your spinning gear for trout and pike .🤔 keep up the great work love your video's.
Thanks Peter Yeh I will be having a go with the spinning gear up there at some point in the future. Jim from my local tackle shop is going to give me a lesson before I go fly fishing again 🤩👍🎣
Can I recommend when you get the hang of fly fishing try using a app worm pulled back as fast as possible works really well for stockie rainbows even in winter
I've always wanted to try fly fishing but never got my backside into gear to get started. After watching this I might just give it a go. Another excellent video
hi Hinny if I can help in any way with the casting , I used to work for a very well know firm in LONDON and taught for several years , i would take pleasure in being able to bring someone into the sport , it seems you have a great idea already of what to do but could use some help getting there and improving , from seeing your vid it is plain to see that you are thinking all the time about what to do , but , fly fishing as beginner I think is the hardest form of our sport so any help needed can be given , keep up your vids the are great and very inspiring and I would guess that a good few people are now attempting to start fishing as you do in all forms good luck and tight lines and wet nets .😁🤔
Thanks Keith Very much appreciated. I do have a lesson sorted for next week now with Jim from my local tackle shop, he’s going to show me the ropes so to speak. I’ve had a fair few messages now from people saying they are starting to fish after watching my videos, I think that is great, it’s done wonders for mental and physical health. D
Looks like you've done that before, mind, it didn't take me long to pick it up, years ago. Never fly fished for a long time, but my landladys partner is trying coax me back into it for next summer. Your casting looks ok, it's the tactics and set ups you need to pick up. But, hey, new string to the bow so to speak.
Nice one Lass a different angle with a different dangle Steamed trout and coriander in butter served with new potatoes nom nom be safe tight lines and crack on
Morning Danielle , Well done girl for your first attempt , use the rod as an extension of your arm & slow down your not in a race don't try & cast to the other bank , take care & tight lines
Great effort, but don’t keep changing flys so quick, give it time and try different methods off retrieving and you’ll find the retrieve that works for that fly which the fish will want
@ it’s a mind field once you really get into it but just keep it simple and fun and you will catch fish a lot off people will be more then happy to help you out
Put the but of the rod in your sleeve it will stop you cracking your wrist when you cast..go to rod and tackle South nelson industrial estate cramlington and they might give you a casting lesson outside on the grass...
I used to fly fish your first attempt is better than mine was x
Thanks Tony
I have good coordination so I think that helps with casting, it’s not easy though 😆😆
It always looks relaxing and there’s loads of fly lakes around. 🤔
Yeh it was really relaxing Jim
Peaceful too with it being so quiet 👍
Well done Danni having the gumshen to give a new fishing style Ur an inspiration to anyone just get out there give it a go lifes to short not too tight lines bonny lass from scotland ❤

Good for you Danielle, you'll be on the seashore fly fishing for Bass soon🐟 Tight lines hinny.
Thanks Ryan
Yeh I quite fancy trying for bass and pollock once my cast is up to it 👍🎣
I'm very impressed no instruction, and your doing good with your casting. Well done. Best of luck in your future session.
Thank you, i enjoyed the session 👍
No need for lessons keep the money for your next trip and WATCH AND LEARN 1st impressions your a born natural tight lines.
Thanks Tam
I’m lucky to have a friend who will show me for free 🤩

Enjoyable watch as usual Danielle ..cheers for the vid lass
Thanks Hugh
Something a little different for a change. Back to the sea fishing for now while I do some homework on the fly fishing 🤩🎣

Have a go Tony, the rod is great, I’m sure you will enjoy 👍🎣
Well done hinny not bad for your first go at fly fishing. Tight lines.

It's a proper art-form Danielle ..... Take your time and enjoy ..... 🙂
Thanks Dev
Yeh it definitely something that will take time to refine 👍🎣
Bravo👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 thats a monster learning curve Dannielle! I’m in awe…
Fly fishing is on my bucket list, if I last long enough - but for mullet…
Thanks Greg
I quite fancy trying for Pollock on fly rod, once my cast is better, next summer I’ll be taking it to Scotland 🏴
Superb! You did way better than my first attempt and I almost drove my mate to tears when he was trying to teach me to cast lol Keep going and it will all come good
Thanks, I’m having a lesson next week 👍 I’m looking forward to my next try 🤞

Great effort, but don’t keep changing flys so quick, give it time and try different methods off retrieving and you’ll find the retrieve that works for that fly which the fish will want

There’s certainly much more to learn with this type of fishing 👍🎣
