Thanks George, I am finding a bit of time, but not what it was. May be over time things will work out, and get more time for editing. Hopefully you won't be waiting to long for the next one. Thanks for the comment and support George. Shaun.
Thanks John, I am actually making a start on the next one at the moment. Might not be out for a bit yet, as there is a lot more going on with it. Thank you for your time to make the comment, and watching. Take care mate. Shaun.
Thanks for the excellent video, a great explanation on the stockies ref hook ups, I was pulling my hair out this week on a large res, lost 5 fish and couldn’t understand why, now I do, and as it happens I found out later there had been a recent stocking ! Always very interesting to see you try new things bucking the tradition to try differently, thanks again
For years my self and so many others have always gone with the myth of stock fish with soft mouths. But it never sat well with me. So about 2 years ago I had the opportunity to study stock fish more closely. And when doing this I used five patterns. From a small 16 natural up to a size 10 apps. Fishing the same shoal of stock fish. It was amazing to watch. Seeing them pay very little attention to the small natural. I did get a few on it, but it was difficult. As I worked my way up towards the apps. Our red weighted one. The difference was amazing. ALL patterns attracted fish. But the difference from the small natural and the apps, as I have said amazing. Each cast had at least four plus fish follow it, and bumping it. And a few to the net. And as we now know, a few lost. All this is on a video on the channel. Can't remember at mo which it is. But if your interested let me know. I will find it. Great to hear from you John. Thanks for the comment mate. Take care. Shaun.
@@shaunfishes101 Hi Shaun, yes please I’d be really grateful if you could tag me in on the video if you’re able to locate it. All your videos are quite inspirational for me. Thanks again
@@johnfranklin177 Not very good on computers and have no idea about tags. But if you check the channel you will see a year ago. Its called Summers Morning and Five Top Patterns.
Great to have you back my friend. I peru at the moment but will try to contact you shortly after I get back. I'm still using dry flies the majority of the time I just find it more enjoyable. They call me the dry fly king at my local water. Speak soon , take care.
Can't believe they have not caught on that the dry works on your water. They still plugging away with lures. Pre this video we were using more dries as the fish would not even look at the nymphs. Well not as consistently. This will be picked up in the next video. Have a great holiday mate. Lucky sod. Shaun.
Great, so the next one will defo help. I can't help but remember your first comment. It just sticks in my mind. It was about the weather at Garnffrwd. When we had all that snow I was on the phone to home, which is not too far. They had nothing. Actually 5 miles away had hardly any. Anyway thanks for sticking with us Cameron. Take care mate. Shaun.
Hi Shaun, great to see you back. I’m sorry you’ve been having a tough time and I’ve missed your videos a lot. This one was brilliant…as with every seasonal change I check back to see what I need to do so the timing of this film was perfect. I love the way you’ll give up the prospect of catching more fish just to see which technique works better …..taking one for the team as they say. Our local lake has had problems with stocking for months now so we are down to the bare bones and only very cautious residents left. Saying that in five hours last Saturday I only had two takes…..but the second fish was a very fit double so it has its advantages over catching stockie after stockie. The big fish took a tiny buzzer about three feet from the shoreline. I was lucky enough to see him take the fly with a twist of his head so managed to strike at the right time. Exiting stuff. Keep up the good work Shaun ….cant wait for the next video.👏🎣
Ye been a bit shit to be honest. Never seen it coming. Still in the middle of it. But with time I am getting used to it. A lot of waters are finding things difficult. Its the changes we are experiencing. But for those who can understand whats happening, will benefit. Us boys often switch methods to try things as appose going to the go to method. We find it more interesting. But if you are more interested in numbers, then you would not be doing this. But then what do you learn. That was a cracking fish. My best fish, which was in the water for about three months. I know this as the fishery manager told me. He had put three 20lbers in, and nobody had hooked one. I could see the fish about three foot down. Going around in the same bit of water all the time. It was like watching a basking shark feed. The fish would not chase anything. Just opened its mouth and sucked it all in. Well, my black buzzer was in its path. Great to hear from you mate. Take care. Shaun.
I am looking forward to the next video too. Hope to start soon. Looking after number one has always been my problem. Well I don't see it as a problem. I always consider others first. Its the way I have always been. But I do understand. Thank you, and for the comment. Take care. Shaun.
In depth is just my way, don't think I would want to do it simple. I think its nice to know why, rather than just say do this. I am more than pleased to hear you and many others enjoying this style. Obviously it takes a lot more work and time to do. But its worth it if you all enjoy it. Thanks Brian, for every thing. Shaun.
@@shaunfishes101 not at all shaun, you could just film a video and show us the flies you're using. You do videos and show us a lot of thought and process, like the one with the black and green lure and putting wire on it. Can't wait for more videos. When I can't go fishing this is the next best thing. Gets me in the mood for tying when I can't be bothered aswell.
Things are certainly changing Stuart. In the middle of all the shit at mo. So not too sure how it will end. But what ever it is, I have no choice and just have to make the best of what is left. Finding time to get back to the channel is difficult but good. Its a great distraction. Thanks for your support mate. Take care Stuart. Shaun.
@@oldgold5848 Its been a while mate. At this moment I am in the thick of it all. Should have been a solicitor. Can't believe what they charge. But I am determined. I will make Ellerdine this year. A few of the boys are dying to try it. I will contact you in plenty of time. Thanks for every thing mate. Shaun.
Ye its been a while. Hope that I do not have to take so much time out again. My time is very restricted at the moment and probably for some time. But I will do my best to bring you all constructive content for as long as I can. Thank you Keith. Shaun.
Great video Shaun, always informative and I have learnt a lot from your channel, thank you for that. But most important look after yourself, keep safe and well. Dermot
Honestly Dermot it is so easy to see why I do these videos. The response I have had from you and others is just amazing, such kind people. Going onto RUclips was a mistake. I would not say I enjoy it. But I am creative, and enjoy some of the editing bits. But by far the biggest thing is how it makes a difference for you and every one else. This is why I will continue. No other reason. Thanks for your time in your comment Dermot. And your kind words. Shaun.
Its great to be back Richard. However I am not out of the woods yet, and time to editing is going to be difficult. But I will do my best. Thanks Richard, nice to hear from you. I am almost sure that this is your first comment. If so, thank you. Take care Richard. Shaun.
Honestly the response I am getting from you all is getting to me. I so appreciate your support. No wonder I must keep going. Thank you so much. Take care. Shaun.
Thanks Andrew, I will do exactly that. Don't think I will have the time to push as many as others. But I will do my best. Thanks again mate. and thanks for your support. Shaun.
To be honest with you Andrew, its a good distraction for me at the moment. Not that its the reason as to why I do it. Thank you for the support Andrew. Take care mate. Shaun.
I have not done a roof for years. So this was a treat, and what a place to be doing it. While we were there we were living off grid, well as close to off grid as I will get. Showering was a bucket on a wall and a hose connected. Not sure if I could do this sort of thing long term. But great for the short term. Next video I think will be interesting for a lot of reasons. Thanks for your comment Gerry. Great to hear from you. Take care mate. Shaun.

Thank you so much Martin. Its a real fix for me to get comments like yours. Doing all of this is very challenging for me, but takes my mind of things where I don't want to be. So getting this sort of response makes it all worth while. Thanks again Martin. Shaun.
Really interesting video the you Shaun. Just back from the local small waters and had three on and all lost, but the information helps explain the trouts behaviour. Keep going!!
Getting any interest from the fish is a positive. At least you know your getting there interest. For us its not how many. Its more about whether we can get any interest on a method we decide to fish. We find this more challenging but interesting. Thanks Robin. Take care mate. Shaun.
First comment I have seen on the roof. Thanks. We did graft. But I really enjoyed being there. Should have been doing a DIY channel. So simple compared to a fishing one. Thanks for the comment Allen. Take care mate. Shaun.
Good to see you back butty, great video (as usual), totally agree with your views, proper down to earth stuff, take care of yourself mate, the next video will come, when it comes. PS. Good job on the roof.
Really nice hearing from you again Mike. Just replied to a comment on the roof. I did say that, should have been doing DIY channel not fishing. Apart from fishing, I am learning lots about cooking. Thanks for the comment Mike. Take care mate. Shaun.
Thanks John. It seems a long time since I sat here replying to comments. Only difference, I am doing it a lot later than I would prefer. All other duties comes first now. I will find a system on day. Thanks for your loyalty and support John. Shaun.
@@shaunfishes101 I think all of your followers appreciate the position you are in, your motto needs to be take care of yourself, then Improvise, adapt and overcome. Do you use any messaging system other than RUclips?
With regard to the nymphs and such imitations of real life aquatic bugs, I have had little to no success from them in the small lake I frequent, be that pulled very slowly or suspended as well as a few other methods of fishing them for the resident fish, the freshly stocked rainbows will take almost anything put in front of them. I am still trying to find out what the residents are eating, as when you catch one it is in prime condition, I was thinking it was surface flies, but I do find that it is usually the smaller fish that are caught. Lures always work well for all the fish, I just cannot get past the use of naturals as I am a river fisherman at heart and as such all those lures are something we rarely use on the rivers. Regards and nice to see your videos again.
@@JohnRitson78 not a problem, also a nothing fly in very small sizes and foam daddy's work extremely well with different colours of foam if they've been taking a certain colour. Suspender buzzers as well. Grunter flys in sizes 14 to 18 as well deadly fly. Foam beetles. Use a degrease like fullers earth to hide your mono or fluoro leader especially if it's flat calm or not enough ripple. Best of luck.
Never easy when it comes to resident fish. Although you will get those odd days. First of all every water will present different challenges. I will cover most of this in the next video. So you mentioned fishing the nymphs with a slow pace or static. I very rarely fish nymphs slow. Some times I can't move them quick enough. I did mention this in the video. As for lures in rivers. Have you ever tried it. Lures on the day can be deadly. Check out the next video, I am sure it could help. Look forward to hearing from you at a later date. Thanks for the comment John. Take care. Shaun.
