Great tutorial videos getting released from Rhys atm. Really enjoying them. Keep them coming!.
Thanks barry
Great video again mate
Brilliant advice as always Rhys. Thanks so much. Cheers
Cheers david
Love a cormorant, how I find it fishes best for me is a slow figure of 8 floating line & a buzzer on the dropper. bank fishing in spring time.
Always good to hear another persons approach 👍
Excellent video Rhys will certainly be trying out your methods 👌👍🏻🏴
Thanks allan
Brilliant information always thanks Rhys
Thanks perazzi
Absolutely fantastic Rhys, the knowledge you have and willingness to share makes me so happy. I've fished a while and like to think I'm okay, there's one thing for certain... ..your vids will take it up a notch. Many many thanks buddy from South West Scotland 👍 😄
Cheers James
Good stuff Rhys, as usual.
Cheers mike
Excellent information brilliantly presented!
Cheers linday
Learn so much from these videos, great mate
Thanks steve
Followed the cormorant and lure method. Had two trout on the same line on the first cast. It turned my day from normally catching 2-3 trout a day to 15 a day, Thanks Rhys.
Great angling Dan 🎣
Love it Rhys, need to try these , never liked them before 👍👍
Good luck Chris 🙏
Great video Rhys, had good results off the pearl and all black cormorants
Nice one peter
Two words some up your videos
Just Brilliant
Thanks James
My preference is 3 or 4 flies usually with a Daiwl Bach or 2 and a Cormorant, on an Airflo slow tip right up to a fast intermediate, with a slow retrieve. My favourite Cormorant is a Bibio pattern tied small, say a size 12 or 14.
Thanks Rhys! Been wondering about cormorants as to what they imitate - attractors are good for me :) I've tied up a few black winged ones to try in the spring and will add a few white ones to the box.
Definitely more of an mini attractor pattern in my eyes but never say never. Tightlines 🎣
Great Vid Rhys, I used to fish cormorants regularly and got out of the habit. I’m going to try them again, thanks for the kick up the @ss
Best of luck chris
Fist time I have fished cormorants never thought to use them before they were deadly thanks for the advice love the videos 👍
No problem 👍
Still getting use to the names of the UK flies names. Need more pics and tying instructions!
My go to fly, black and red body with good marabou wing.
Up here in Scotland the cormorant is my go to fly pattern on lochs and reservoirs as you say due to the peaty nature of the water. Black cormorants with a fire orange hot arse have always done well for me with brown trout. I have to agree with you as it amazes me how the fish can pick out a wee size 12 or 14 cormorant. My normal is an 8 or 10 but when fishings tough dropping down a size or two always seems to work for me.👍🏴🎣🎣🎣
Always amazes me how well they work in Peaty water David. Will need to try the orange but versions. What’s the dressing?
@@RhysFishes I’ve used Alistair Mann hot throat pattern but rather than have the glow bright at the butt I just use a wee section of UTC fl fire orange or I use Lynsey Simpson competition cormorant but rather than having a hot head I again use UTC at the butt then have a normal black head. 🎣🎣🎣tight lines
Would you use these as mini lures? Or class them as mini lures?
Brilliant channel.
Thanks Chris. They can be fished as mini lures however they’re more effective and successful at catching fish when fished like nymphs on a washing line. Twiddle them back slowly and be ready for the line to be pulled out of your hands
Hi rhys Barry I lost confident in these flys not catch anything but on 1 of your live chats you explained couple of tips 1 was di3 line blob comerant patterns 3 fly set up never looked back big thanks Barry from Cumbria
Great to hear Barry! Tightlines 🎣
Hi Rhys I love what you produce but do you have something for the very novice such as how to do a basic set up and how to do the knots and attach the leader to the line. All that stuff. Thanks
I intend to bring a series of videos out soon. Which go back to the very basic parts of fly fishing, keep an eye out for that 👍
Enjoyed that Rhys! TBH we have a box of 12 cormorants and rarely use them, hence neither of us have ever caught a fish with them. Having watched your video we will give them a go. Thanks for the advice.
Hope it works for you Paul
Thanks, really struggle with Comerants, yet to get a bite on one
Hopefully the methods in the video will help change that
Hi rhys I've got the new hardy ultradisc 6000 cassette fly reel it says it will take 50 yards of backing my question is would it be able to take an airflo slow sink intermediate as I believe it has a running line I seen you review it already its just to see if I would still have enough room on my spool?
Yes it should be fine. For trout you’ll rarely need much backing.
Interesting as my favourite local fishery has coloured water, hence probably why I have success with them.
Hi Rhys I'm off to Clywedog over Easter have you got any tips of what I should be doing what flies to use and what methods.
Best of luck, it will fish well over that period. Washing line tactics if the weather is kind 👍
Hi Rhys, great video! When you mentioned the Lure option, would you consider having the cormorant trailing behind the bigger lure (attached to the hook eye or hook bend of the lure) or would you always prefer it in front of the lure (like you mentioned). Just because as someone new to fly fishing I tend to get less tangles/wrap arounds attaching droppers to hook eye or hook bend.
By having the smaller fly trialing it will cause issues with casting, since all the moment stops generally with the heaviest fly on the cast. That’s generally why we switch the cormorants to the droppers and leave the heaviest fly on the point. But if it works for you, don’t change it. Thanks
@@RhysFishes cheers!
Tried it today, fished a bright coloured lure with a smaller wet fly that looks similar to cormorant on a tag end dropper. Caught 3 trout in an hour. 2 on lure, 1 on wet fly. Works great.
Great videos,I'm relatively new to reservoir fishing,and mainly use snakes and lures,and have used cormorants on a dropper,would love to try this washing line method,seams a very relaxing style compared to pulling snakes,and roll poly retrieves,as I'm always on the bank,does washing line work from the banks?,at clywedog for instance?.
Ye exactly, more of a leisurely pace with this. It’s very effective method on clywedog from spring onwards. Try it with nymphs or cormorants on a tip line at clywedog
@@RhysFishes,just had a hernia op today,but will be chomping at the bit to get out first chance lol,thanks for the advice.👍
@@shaunboffey8739 best of luck with the recovery!
@@RhysFishes ,thank you,tight lines.
At 2:23 what kind of blob or fab is that never seen anything like them before
It’s cbc pulse 👍
For me I think it falls into the suggestive but not imitative of something to eat. Small stillwater, I tend to go 15 ft leader, skinny cormie on the point, bushy cormie middle and scruffy buzzer or spider or sunk hopper on the top dropper. Sometimes will put a blob or fab on the point. Slow retrieve typically, figure or 8, but sometimes near static with a very occasion small pull
Hi a question for you I fish in a peaty res
No natural fly life how do I approach fly fishing with out using lures all the time
I’m in west Yorkshire need help cheers
There will be some form of life at that lake otherwise the fish wouldn’t be able to survive for long without a consistent food source. This time of year you should turn your attention to buzzers and nymphs as the fish will have begun heavily feeding on these food sources. You can ditch the lures and replace them with a more imitative approach. Check out the channel for the nymph and buzzer videos
Hi tried washing line with a fab coral on point delbark and a olive size 10 buzzer nothing put a black zonnka on fish straight away don’t like lure’s
Have you ever fished at newton farm?
I have not 🎣
What size would you recommend for still water
10-14's
👏🏻👍🏻🎣
🙏
Hi Rhys I'm off to cly
Quick question have you ever used a baby doll pattern
Great lure that’s fallen out of fashion!
@@RhysFishes yes I believe bob church was big fan of them so am I if I could find some I would sorted orange is my favourite
Cormorants are my no 1 fly as a gang of 3 sometimes a boobie one on the point .
Cormies are not something I even have in my fly box. This will have to change before I get back in a boat. Cheers Rhys
Get the practise in on them and you’ll be sorted 👍
When is the new video coming out my dear friend??
I'm thinking about what the next video should be 🙂
@@RhysFishes where the biggest trout are at, lakes and how to catch them 💪💪💪
@@RhysFishes I only started fly fishing last year and your videos been so helpful! I am always looking up if you have posted something new.. like me must be others .. keep up with the good work !
I’ve caught on them but I’ve not got the confidence in them
I was like that a few years back Jim. Just need a few good days on them for that to change
You can’t see my face !
If you do the opposite of what everyone else is doing you will get a fish.
