I would so like to fish this River. Fished the Test, Itchen and Kennet plus a few others but this looks so incredible!

Really great video... thanks allot for all you do.. I love ur single nymph straight lining ... was there any indicator involved? If not what’s ur secret to strike detection?
@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing2 жыл бұрын
Thanks Stephen! Glad you enjoyed it! No indicators, traditional sight nymphing… watch the fish, looks for movement, flare of the gills or the white of the mouth. Alternatively watch the leader and if it stops or dips, strike. We are lucky as on the Chalkstreams we can normally see the fish to see their reaction….

Hi TK! Thank for the comment, on the 3# I have been using the Rio Perception 3# which has matched it perfectly for short casts on the rivers…

Fantastic video Peter. May I ask what your standard leader setup for sight nymphing is?
@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing2 жыл бұрын
Thanks Tom! My standard set up is a 9’ 6x leader and then 2 -3 feet of tippet on the end depending on what the river and conditions dictate… I keep it pretty simple…
@tombond2692 жыл бұрын
@@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing Thanks for the reply. Do you cut the tippet that comes on the leader off at the end of the mid section and tie your tippet on at that point? Or just leave the leader as is out of the packet and tie tippet of the same or smaller diameter to the end of it? I hope that question makes sense!

Hi Tom, I literally just tie Tippet to the end of the tapered leader….
