Loved that video Steve…just in time. Went to our local reservoir today and started with the subtle stuff like washing lines and diawls and buzzers but as soon as it warmed up the fish wanted to chase lures. Such a contrast but some great sport with flashy flies stripped quickly….figure of eight. I passed my fly on to my friend and he traditionally pulls a steady retrieve…..as he was winding in to move to another spot a fish hit it. Just shows ….if nothings working …make a change.👍🎣
Great one, Steve. I have got some of your plain damsel patterns tied up in summer that I haven't tried yet. I also never Rollie polled anything other than snakes, so that will be interesting. Thanks
Good to see you out there catching fish,tough casting with the closeness of the trees Was out last week near Glasgow similar conditions fish taking off the top.
I've been catching on nymphs and wee dries until now, but I think I need to go deeper with some lures now. Sound is poor Steve, better microphone needed?
Great video Steve. Would you please consider doing a short video showing how you tie up your leaders? Thanks.
Morning steve , can show us a fly tying video of the 3 lures you used, and good to see that I'm not the only one that catches trees, great video pal
Thanks for a great day on the water, cheers and tightlines.
Excellent video Steve. Thanks for sharing.
Very enjoyable. I appreciate the explanations. Nice and relaxing in this world of turmoil. Thanks.

Interesting with your leader set up
Really good video. What knot do you use to tie the Tappered leader to the fly line, Please. 👍
Hi Steve, what make is your rucksack please. Kind regards Mike. Tight lines.
I have been fly fishing for years and never bothered with tapered leaders. Just stick with length and change flies a lot , never had a problem
Steve what sling bag were you using can you get spare spools in it with fly boxes
Fishpond sling, 4 flat boxes, 3 blob deep boxes, 4 spool bag with lines, and tippet and fly treatments!
Another good video, make sure your mike is in a good position for clear volume please.

Apps work well for rainbows pulled back fast if you’re on them they will take them even up in the water
Hi Stevie where can you get a 6ft tapered leader and what x is it ??4x Thanks Bill 👍
Hi Bill, i cut a 9ft back pal! about 25lb
@ Thanks Steve 👍
Winter is the best time of year to catch rainbows they love cold water ..
It’s no rocket science mate chuck it in and pull it back . But remember if there’s no fish in front of you you’ll catch nothing .
