Going where only a few venture. Watching pools and waiting for rising trout. Sometimes, they show themselves... Props to Mr Thrift for the outstanding trout-foolery. #GarethLewisFlyFishing #FlyFishing #FlyTying #Fishing
Tying the CdC and Elk (2 Ways)
zhlédnutí 2,1KPřed 2 měsíci
In this video, I tie the famous CdC and Elk, a pattern (developed by Hans Weilenmann back in the 1980s as a result of his time spent fishing in Montana) wielding CdC as an alternative to the equally famous rooster-hackled cadis imitation, the Elk-Haired Caddis. This is a pattern that I’ve been fishing and tying for almost twenty years, and from someone who loves simplicity, there’s not a lot ou...
Tying the Klinkhamer Special
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed 2 měsíci
The Klinkhamer Special needs no introduction. Developed by Hans van Klinken in the 1960s, the pattern has become known as one of the most widely used flies worldwide. I love this pattern when fishing my home waters in South Wales, UK, and more so on the small, fast-running streams for wild brown trout. This pattern’s buoyancy, visibility and ability to bring fish up when prospecting for trout i...

May 2024 - Stream X in South Wales. She's Finally Waking Up...
zhlédnutí 174Před 3 měsíci
It's been a tough start to 2024. With heavy rains and high waters, the weather was never going to be very conducive for trout fishing and, more so, dry fly fishing. But, the weather finally cracked, and the trout were looking up. #GLFlyFishing #GarethLewisFlyFishing
2023, you were a blast!

She’s over for another year, but 2023, you were an utter blast. 2024 is to be a year of small stream adventures, knee pads, and crawling miles searching out trout. #GLFlyFishing #GarethLewisFlyFishing
Gareth Lewis Fly Fishing - Tying the Grannom Emerger
zhlédnutí 1,6KPřed 3 lety
Grannom (Brachycentrus subnubilis), a member of the Caddis family (Trichoptera order), are among the first of the UK's major hatches in Spring. Hatches can be huge, to the point where every Grannom seemingly tries to crawl up your waders, under your glasses, down your neck, or smack into you as they are blown up or downstream by the usually unstable Spring weather. Trout can go crazy during the...
'After the wet rain ...comes Gareth with his dry flies'...what a beautiful brown trout !! well done 👏👏
Definitely my personal best from that river, and he’ll be a memorable fish for a while ❤️
Just subbed, lovely fish
Thanks Martin. He was a special fish for sure!
NICE !!!!...in every respect...small stream fishing at its best...simply brilliant Gareth
Super chuffed you enjoyed it! That was a fun evening! Another (albeit 1 inch smaller) tricked on a different area of that water 🥳
Very nice…
Thank you!
Nice pattern thank you
The crippled version is absolutely brilliant 🙂
Another really great video Gareth. Definitely be adding some of both those patterns to my box. Couldn’t, help noticing what I took to be “Phil White style” mayfly (emerger) in the intro. Are you looking to post any videos for that and/ or similar patterns in future? Looking forward to the next one whatever it is. Cheers Phil
@@PhilWilkins-lm2jv Great spot Phil! It is indeed a variation of Mr White’s awesome Active Mayfly Dun. Phil’s awesome pattern has been adopted as the go-to Danica imitation by a group of anglers in the River Monnow catchment. That variation is slightly ‘show’ orientated, with a little extra robustness thrown in, but both patterns are actually on my list for a future video 🙂 Thanks also for the kind words and glad you enjoyed 🙌🏻
Class tying as always 🏴👍
Thanks Dylan! 🙌🏻
My most productive pattern since you showed me one a few seasons back. Excellent fly, cheers mate.
Thanks Mike!
Nice!
Thank you!
Great video Gareth. I've been fishing the CDC & Elk for the last 35 years plus with great success, it's one of my top dry patterns. Hans Weilenmann tied me one of his CDC & Elk patterns all those years ago in Wiltshire, a few yards from the banks of the River Avon in the Woodford Valley - I still have that very fly for reference. I have also had great success in using an Olive version of the CDC & Elk - like yourself, not sure colour makes a difference bit it is nice to have another option ... works well fished 'duo' too.
Wow! Thats an amazing story! I always tell people to get my flies in the water, but I’d have absolutely kept Hans’ too for sure! Thanks for the kinds words too Drew!
New subscriber - very impressive channel!
Thank you!
Great looking fly M8!! I was wondering if a XXX-fine rib ( either wire or tying thread would make the body last longer? Or has that not been a problem after a few fish?
Great idea, and it’d definitely add more durability. As they’re so quick and easy to tie, I usually just pop any trout-wrecked flies back in my box and take a lighter to them back at the vice and then re-tie. Love the idea!
Love the film Gareth. As always, so informative and close up shots showing great thread control. Thank you for sharing again 👌
Thanks for the kind words Stu! Glad you enjoyed. That one was a fun one to film.
Simple but very effective looking patterns Gareth…I’m finding I’m tying and using much simpler, slimmer patterns these days, both dries and nymphs mainly GISS style…less choice in the fly box seems to provide a lot more confidence on the water …thanks a lot for sharing your thinking and skills …much appreciated …love your new channel format…very enjoyable
Yes, we're definitely in the same camp! Simple generally means more time on the water, and I totally agree with your commment regarding less choice/more confidence. Thanks so much for the kind words!
I know CDC means butt of the duck but why do i find similar feathers on their wings? Are they also usable?
That's a great question. The CdC feathers in question are based around preening gland which the ducks use to preen and waterproof themselves, so they're by their very nature buoyant and waterproof straight from the bag. That said, that's only when undyed as the dyeing process strips the natural oils away. Give the other feathers you mention a go, and I'd love to hear the difference (if any) in buoyancy, etc.
Great fly tying and video Gareth well done . Looking forward to seeing more from you !🎉
Biggest thanks Brian! Two new videos are up and live over the last week, and slightly (hopefully) updated in terms of quality 🙂🤞🏻
About time you put the klink out there Gareth. Nicely put together and informative. #parachutewhisperer

....alla faccia di smahen ed altri...🤔
Apologies, Aldo, I'm not sure I understand the translation. Are you refering to the Smhaen technique of tying in the CdC?
Great pattern Gareth. Thank you.
Thanks Stuart, and glad you enjoyed it!
Tidy!.......and about time you fot back on the horse😃
Thanks Al'! That was a fun one.
Yes boss.

Thanks David! New video is up and more to come :)
Bery nice trout.
Great looking pattern Gareth.
Came across your flies online last year when I started back into fly fishing , my fishing style would be very similar to yourself and that’s wht I love to see, the spiders the dries look brilliant, your photos are top class . You represent everything that fly fishing is about
Wow! Kind words indeed, and thanks so much David.
Brilliant tying Gareth. Loved the descriptions and techniques
Thanks Stu! Kind words indeed.
Really well described particularly the reasoning for each component. Thank you.
Biggest thanks, Dick, and glad you enjoyed it!
Class tying 👍
Thanks Dylan!
Great first video on your channel and as you say 'very apt or on point since there's millions hatching. Looking forward to more. Subscribed!
Thanks Alun, appreciate that!
Really like this pattern, going to tie a few as I am hoping to see grannom in the next week or so, great video
Thanks Guy, and thanks for the feedback! Enjoy mate, and hope you have a great season :)
Nice one Gareth! Great pattern, hopefully I won’t miss too much of the Grannom hatch. Can’t wait to get back into Wales. See you soon mate
Cheers Phil! This year is our year to finally fish mate. No long now for you guys, as I hear the borders may be opening soon.
Excellent first episode. I think I will manage that one.😉👍
