Nice bit of sport! cracking bit of river up there! not the easiest fish to catch but they tolerate disturbance better than trout, its so odd that you can put dozens of casts out right over the shoal then suddenly get a positive take! then there's the one that rises at the end of your rod as you're trying to get a 30 yard cast up the river 🤣👍👍
Really enjoyed watching. It would be good to hear a bit more about your set up. What sort of size and type of line , leader and fly set up. Didnt see any fancy dry fly powders or dessicants just a tissue brilliant simplicity. Did you put any floatant on leader. I saw you were using some sort of dry fly cdc. Was it a tapered 9ft leader to 5X perhaps. What length ( and model) of rod would you be using. It looks like a 9ft 6" #4 or #5. Your northern rivers look beautiful in winter. You're blessed from Derbyshire right up to the border. And some lovely salmon and seatrout fishing rivers too. Tight lines.
Hi ,thank you...I used these videos to diary my fishing mainly and to try put people to access fishing ..my rod is 9 .6 4 weight ..I used only 5 foot tapered leader to 9 foot leader.approx 4lb in old money.cdc flies vary but size usually 16 to 14.i used to use smaller but my eyes dictate now I'm afraid..tight lines .
I think I saw you when I was walking over the bridge with my two Goldies! The youngun had been trying to get to you along the other bank to see if you had any maggots he loves them!
A Bit off topic could you recommend any clubs too join on the tees for chub just done a full day down broken scar and caught absolutely nothing plenty off big grayling showing but void off chub I'm a little bit lost 😅
Good day mate 👏
Cheers bud

Just nice to get out. We had a nice break in the weather.

The dogs normally pinch my luncheon meat when I'm chub fishing 🤣..
Which clubs water is this? I know the bit below the bridge is Richmond but I know they only have the north bank at red house
