Cracking looking water and you were unlucky with them playing silly buggers . Always a fan of sticking on a big tube fly and hand lining it back through them when they are showing like that . Great videos

If you have a look at the video I am about to add I have given the big flies an outing Cheers Iain 🥃

Most enjoyable video Ian, I was thinking of a sunray shadow stripped fast. Keep the videos coming.

I think that with the water temp it's just luck if anyone finds a fish willing to take Watch the results of the sundae in the next video👌. Cheers Iain. 🥃

Once again iain the water was perfect and the weather a bit temperamental but fish were showing but none wanted the fly, you were unlucky in the first half of the video but I was surprised at how many were in the pools but not having any of it. Great video though Iain and no doubt the best is yet to come. Atb. Steve. 🍷

The water looked perfect Steve but the temperature was too high. lots of fresh fish about but with them coming in from the cold to warm water they were having none of it Dash six will be a better watch 😉. Cheers Iain. 🥃. Ps was out yesterday and that should hopefully turn out well if I can edit it

Hard luck Iain you put in a good shift today. Hopefully on your next outing everything will line up and you’ll be rewarded with a fish or two

Unlucky Iain, was not for the lack of effort but bright sun and still conditions not helpful! thanks.

as you have experienced Scottish weather and know that we can have all four seasons in one day . when we are up north we always hope for a bit of rain and cloud cover. Some times it ends up tropical weather and would be better having a day on the beach Cheers Iain. 🥃

Nice day....just a bit too nice! Got your name in the cap? Lost count of the number I've had blown off over the years. I never had them on too tight to avoid headaches!!😂 The one that came off (not the cap) looked a good pull. There's still time Iain......😎👍👍

Two days to go Mr Mazo and one will be better than the other 😉. Cheers Iain 🥃

there was a trap to catch the pink salmon entering the river and they did get one over the week that I fished Thomas . They also caught a vast amount of fresh fish and about 50% were in their teens . these fish were seen running the river but out of the 24 anglers fishing the river no one caught a sea lice fish . The consensus was that the water temperature was that warm it was putting the fish off. Cheers Iain 🥃

It's a lot better if we can get a fish to take . The water temp was so high I should have been in swimming Cheers Iain 🥃

The fish always has the last word Paul and I think with the water being so warm that they were a bit lethargic and never took a decent grip. Cheers Iain 🥃

Do you ever use weighted nymphs,egg patterns, etc under an indicator?
@IainSB Жыл бұрын
no Robert I haven't tried that tactic . I know a lot of trout anglers that use that method and it looks more like bait fishing with another name Cheers Iain 🥃

@IainSB Traditional swinging flies is cool. I fish small Great Lakes tributaries on slow drifts are the ticket.
