The Noise of a Chalk Stream
Nothing massive here. Just a minute of the noise that a river makes as it flows. Ironically, you can hear the roar of traffic from a nearby road at some points during the recording.

Fordy's Flies - Big Fish Little Fish
Просмотров 420Год назад
Here’s a little fish - that’s designed to catch big fish! It’s a brilliantly effective saltwater pattern that’s perfect for when bass are on the munch, hunting baitfish in either really shallow water, or in deeper areas with a bit of flow. Fish in on a floating line, stripping back your retrieve, with the odd tantalising pause, to imitate the movement of a tiny creature escaping the jaws of a m...

Here's a tying video for a fly that's taken me ages to get to grips with. Sometimes things still go wrong....seriously wrong!!! So why bother to tie it at all? The answer is in the film. Hope you like and enjoy it - and it gets a few fish rising for you when the mayfly start hatching and bringing them up!

If you've ever fly fished for that most elusive of species, the mullet, you'll know just hooking one isn't the end of the battle. Far from it!

#Shorts - Black Bishop Fly 60 second tie
Try a 480 lb marlin in 20ft seas 2 hrs of fighting
Very nice ty! Tight lines🐛🕷️🐜!!!!!
Why not use a bung
Not competition legal in rivers in the UK.
Fantastic . But where are all the ladies?? There are plenty of us out there.. but no body joining.. ......
Perfect
Thank you for a wonderful little fly.
Bent butts on stand up rods? Not the best mechanical advantage.
I think, considering how new the tuna scene is to the UK this time around, Steve can be forgiven for a bendy butt.
Hello. Your recomendation for mullets in the tropic????
Mostly luck and something that looks like a shrimp.
Light bulb moment wow
Which bit? The grip did it for me.
It was not only the grip but the way he held the line in his left hand when hauling, in particular the aggresive haul. Just amazing
No wrasse trophy for 2023?
There was one but sadly the result became rather too complicated to explain.
I like this because it leaves it up to real angling besides the stock factor. No live scope just a fly and water
Thanks for the video, beautiful!!
What a fantastic Film! 👏👏
hi is wills sliding rig tied prusik loop knot
No I don’t think so. There’s no loop, just a single strand of line. It looks like it’s just a blood knot
Being a new to tie flying although I’m in my late 60’s Thanks so much for this simple olive pattern I tied it last year after seeing this video and caught fish every time 👍I’m currently trying 18 & 20’s ready for the start of this season in April
Wonderful!
Nicely tied but the are lots of dry flies you could have chosen that are far simpler to tie
Great video … I live near lands end …. Where were you bass fishing ? Looks like Helford
It was on the Camel down from Padstow. Lovely place.
I LOve fish
Love how the tail points down and slips around the hook, looks amazing.
That's not how it should be
Great potential there! I remember about 17 yrs or so hearing about a small blue fin tuna game fishing operation off the west coast of Ireland, targeting French patrons who might helicopter in to fish for them. I saw a small boat with a fighting seat in it which I was told was used for this purpose.The numbers are obviously up now!
This was in my calendar but work got in the way. Hopefully next year. 🥲🎣🐟
Really enjoyed this, brilliant content TY👍
Good video and nice to see everyone smartly dressed.
A well put together video, well done
Thank you for posting this video, I really enjoyed watching, never tried this style of fishing before, but just have to give it ago, maybe even enter next years competition, it just looks like so much fun and everyone looks so friendly. Thank you, tight lines
Got to be time that a lure with two barbed trebles isn't acceptable in a catch and release tournament.
Agreed.
@@FordyGoesFishing But aside from my pet peeve what a wonderful video! captures the atmosphere of the event in a wonderful fashion. The enthusiasm is almost child like and please believe that in a fishing landscape where too much is taken far too seriously, this is a joy to watch. Great work👍🏻
Thanks John. I fish barbless almost exclusively and single barbless on lures wherever practical. We’re all big kids. Fishing is just an excuse to keep us in touch with that isn’t it? Glad you liked the show.
That black shirt is a horrible back ground. Nice fly.
🤷♂️
Beautiful fly but most fly fishermen can’t keep a cdc fly dry.
Hi Andy do u always use 2 beads on ur fly.
I tend to on these yes. Gives more control over depth when tight line nymph fishing.
Never in my life heard of top knot flat fish .sm i pronouncing it right?
Yep. They are weird!
@@FordyGoesFishing it's a new one on me.never heard or them before.
"The world's easiest dry fly pattern"!!! And therefore it takes a 20 minutes video!!! 😂😂😂😂
To make a video and explain yes. To tie if not making a video and explaining….no.
'Promo sm' 🎊
Well said! I have always also held that confidence is the key element!
Thats amazing ive seen photos of big Tuna from decades ago and for them to be back is awesome, i think they've come back because they've had time to recover i just hope our coast guards and the Southern IFCA do a good job of keeping the Asian poachers away there in every ocean with them massive nets and they Rape and devastate the population of marine life. And i hope that doesn't happen here them Tuna are worth a lot of money you can get 15.000-25.000 grand per fish and even up to a cool 1 million where's there's money to be made come greed..Awesome video
Awesome i really enjoyed watching this comp. New subscriber, time to check your channel out thanks this was awesome fishing..
As Fordy says " there is so much more that just only fishing " so true. Evident.
The 2023 Sea Angling Classic wasn't just a competition - it was a gathering of like-minded anglers, all brought together by our shared passion for the sport.
Some of the best fishing memories of your life.
Where is it guys?
Loved the video if i might ask where did you get the magnetic fly holder from if you dont mind
Мушка служит как индикатор?
I’ve fished at Church Norton for years. What a great place to chill out and catch bass on the fly.
Beautiful fly
If the body does not want to slip off the needle easily, I believe heating up the needle with a lighter might help. It would liquefy the lip balm.
I’ve tried a few things Dennis. Even used a thin layer of olive oil. This is by far the easiest and most reliable method but warming it up is worth a go. Sadly you tend to find the detached body has failed at the moment it’s too late to do much about it. Worth the patience though I think.
@@FordyGoesFishing Definitely worth the go. Will be tying.
Could you not split the wing before tying the rest of the fly. Then if it fails you haven’t wasted time and materials. A great fly and will be be attempting some soon. Cheers.
I think it would be rather fiddly but give it a try. If you look around at Wally wings, it’s the way it’s done. But someone always goes first with stuff so let me know how it goes. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic Andy thank you.
Various colors? Is that kapok a tan color? I believe that is what was or maybe still is, used in life jackets. Thanks
Not sure about the life jackets thing but that would make sense as it’s very buoyant for volume.
Update…..it was used in life jackets, but apparently no longer as it loses buoyancy over time.
Excellent tie and explanation. Thank you.
Nope, The world's simplest dry fly is Alejandro's mirage. Here is my attempt: drive.google.com/file/d/1DH6l7takBNodGX-qvi-JQlCi86M0z9bs/view?usp=share_link
Everyone’s opinion is welcome.
@@FordyGoesFishing An opinion would be a personal subjective preference, as opposed to a fact. If I had said the Mirage is the best dry fly, that would be an opinion, but I did not, I said it is a simpler tie. ie fewer materials and or fewer steps (count them). Did you actually look at the Mirage or how it is tied? It is a single CDC feather tied in at just one location on a bare hook. Sure, there a 2 different wraps & a whip finish in that location, to form a body & a wing from the one feather & finish with a head. It's just that I get peeved by the loss of objectivity in the attempt to promote inclusiveness. Not that there is anything wrong with either as long as they are applied appropriately. I'm happy for you to show us a simpler dry fly though, just produce the evidence. Some will consider my response over the top & that's a fine opinion, it just that I believe that it's important to object occasionally for the sake of objectivity.
@@kenwebster5053 You explained it to yourself really well there Ken.
Nice pattern and very thoughtful explanations! 😊
That looks great to me, well done I feel!
Thanks!
I kinda feel like the Griffith's Gnat is less complicated than this. Or a glo-bug?
Think it depends on skill levels a bit maybe? Getting nice even turns of peacock and hackle without snapping the quill can be a pain.
