Thank for watching, commenting, and the sub. I'm wondering if the water temperature doesn't have something to do with their fighting response. The last few times I have been fishing almost every fish headed downstream like it had decided to do a dine & dash.
Thanks again for watching and taking the time to comment. Neither of these fish were very big, but both were very keen on exiting this pool downstream with some urgency. This river is extremely picturesque for the full eight kilometres that I routinely fish. That is what draws me back. A full days fishing usually results in me covering only about two kilometres. I have subscribed to your channel and am enjoying your videos. I have just ventured into the world of Streamer fishing, so I'm picking up a few pointers from you offerings. I should be able to add some of my own "streamer" adventures soon. Catch you later.
I hooked these trout on my Euro Nymphing rod. I don't use a normal fly line. It is just a short length of non-tapered running line and never comes off the reel. The line I cast is just 12 or 15 lb nylon with heavy tungsten bead flies on a length of 3X tippet on the end. It is the weight of the flies that allows it to be cast. I will make a video soon of the setup used as I am getting a few questions about it. If I were fishing a more conventional dry fly or indicator nymph rig, a 9 foot 5 weight rod and Weight Forward Floating 5 weight line would be my choice. I hope that helps answer your question.
@TroutSoloNZ thanks for the info. I won't lie, I am befuddled at all the preferences and choices that people use. However fly fishing just feels like home for some reason
I know exactly how you feel. I only started this pastime three seasons ago. It's a very steep learning curve, indeed. Stick with it, though. It's worth the effort.
@@TroutSoloNZ thanks man. I appreciate it. I have been consistently catching fish but I still wanna learn all the different techniques. I caught a 20in rainbow on a copper john i tied the other day. I'm lucky cause the local river is a three minute walk from my front door.
Sounds like you are well on your way to mastering the art. I have some fishing near my house, but it's not high percentage water for sure. The closest decent fishing is an hour and a half driving, but I don't mind. It feels good to catch one on a fly that you made yourself.
Subscribed! Funny how some fish fight more than others regardless of size, look forward to more footage, tight lines from Scotland.

Strong spirited fish……a lovely run to fish under the trees.
