Wild Fishing Scotland for BROWN TROUT
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- In this episode I head to the mountains fly fishing in the Highlands of Scotland for trout on my tiny inflatable Belly Boat. It was still early in the trout season very cold with snow still on the mountain tops. The water was freezing but the trout were willing to take the fly and loads of them. Thanks for watching, tight lines and see you again soon on my next fishing adventure.

Brilliant day you had there!!! Well done and lovely to watch.. I will have a dunkeld on next time for sure lol
Thanks for commenting buddy. The bibio on the top dropper always performs well there but I’m finding it hard not to have the Dunkeld on the cast.
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing aye a bibio done well for me last season too but defo be trying the dunkeld and also invicta. Another but of this weather and we should see alot more trout rising 😎
@@oreilly6365 for sure mate, it can only get better 🤞
Good video mate. Hilland trout always dark must be the peat lol great surroundings mate you always share your methods and tackle and that's why people learn don't think it's a book now it's RUclips or Google the information gets out what your interested in. Thanks again mate .
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it buddy

Brilliant video love fishing up there its great sport
Thanks buddy, Can’t beat it Neil👍
Scotland is hard to beat Douglas. Beautiful footage of the drive up. Always great to see a new video notification from your channel, Cheers
Thanks Richard, it’s been a tough winter and start to spring, this was my 4th trip to the highlands this year. Once on the bank and 3 times on the float tube. Hopefully more to come mate if the weather gets better. I think we’re all struggling to cast a line in recent months. Thanks for the support
Good to see you out again, great fishing and amazing scenery. Cheers.
Thanks Phil, yeah it’s an amazing place to cast a line mate
Beautiful place great fishing Douglas 🎣🎣👍
Thanks Paul, appreciated mate👍
A lot of the wee hill lochans need the fish thinned out a bit to let the remainers grow bigger.
@@dondle2 thanks for commenting
Brilliant Video Douglas 🎣🤘🏻
Thanks Michael, tight lines buddy
Great to see you back out there mate. 💪🎣
Cheers buddy much appreciated👍
Excellent I don't think I've ever seen a double hook on on fly fishing I have caught 2 trotting with a kinda w hook flapper floating rig. Excellent place to fish man beautiful country and theirs gold in them there hills..!!!
Cheers Robbie, I can’t remember ever having a double hookup on the fly but to be fair I use to only use 1 fly 2 at a push. I’ve felt My casting has improved over the last few months, which has given me the confidence to fish a team of 3 flies. That was the 3rd double I’ve had in 4 trips this year.
Excellent stuff m8 really impressed with both the fishing and the scenic views
@@robbieallan6522 thanks again mate 👍
I really, really hope you are either thoroughly cleaning that float tube before you go between waters or have a seperate float tube only for hill lochs. Our hill lochs are the last great wild areas for our native fish, the brown trout, and highly sensitive to bio-security issues.
Thanks for commenting Matt. Yes it was a wonderful day surrounded by amazing scenery and the fish were just stunning👍
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing so no view on bio-security?
@mattwright2964 absolutely!! it’s very important to protect our wild waters around the country. Anglers should do everything in their power to protect what we have, like washing all our equipment that’s been in contact with the water and substrate, especially if you intend to fish other waters. You only have to look at the River Clyde where the aquatic life is being destroyed by crayfish. Many anglers are oblivious of the direct impact they have on potentially spreading contamination from one water to the next or they just don’t care.
Lovely video, reminding me I really need to get out again! Did you haul the belly boat round the loch on your back or settle in for a longish paddle? Never used one myself so I'm not sure how they perform in flipper mode🙂 Cheers, Doug
Hi Doug, thanks for commenting. My belly boat is not the lightest bit of kit so it was a short walk and a long paddle. Fortunately I have oars on my model which makes it a lot easier to get about rather than just using the fins. I am looking forward to some settled weather tho. Tight lines on your next adventure, I look forward to your next video.
Nice video Douglas. I’ve been meaning to fish those lochs for a while so maybe this year I’ll get round to it. What are you wearing to stay warm in the belly boat?
Cheers Adrian, wychwood gorge waders. thermal lined trousers, merino wool socks, neoprene socks. Neoprene diving booties, Feet still get a bit cold after a few hours tho😳
Yeah it’s pretty brutal at the moment. Hopefully we’ll get a warm spell soon! Thanks for the info.
Totally off subject to the video mate but do you know if there would be any point fishing gourock at this time of year meant to be heading down tomorrow and thought you would be a good person to ask
No worries mate, there will probably be codling and other small species about Alexander, I don’t think there will be mackerel about the now it’s a bit early.
Thanks mate I know you fish this way that’s why I asked cheers
Is that Loch Ba?
Sure is but keep it quiet😳
