Trotting with a R W Youngs Rapidex centerpin reel on the river Wharfe 2 days before the season ended. Great morning with several grayling caught between us, June 15th can't come quick enough!
@@povfishingorkney yeah honestly we'd love that mate, you're always welcome for a trip down our end too! I head up to Scotland fairly frequently during spring/summer (for work) so we could try sort something out for next year 😄
Thanks mate appreciate it 👍 day tickets from the super shop in the middle of Boston spa, £4 bargain. We’ll be heading down there come June, might also try for trout before then!
@@albionangling Thanks for the info. I might go for trout myself. I do enjoy sneaking up on rising fish in early season and having a go with the dry fly. Tight lines
@@jasonridyardhome yes just what I was thinking! We’ve trotted here once before in Feb this year, got loads of grayling but no trout….they’ve got to be in there though! Tight lines mate
Hello mate. Personally I just have a guess at the depth and then keep making the rig longer until I start touching bottom. I then make it a an inch or two shallower than that, usually does the trick. I've seen people plum depth when trotting but I think this is too much of a faff in fast flowing shallow rivers like this. Depth changes so frequently you'll never get it bang on anyway. Hope this helps 👍
All the best and continued success
good luck,
Great video, good luck and continued success
good luck,
Thanks very much, same to you :)
What a great session! Learnt so much for when the rivers open up again in June. Definitely will be a spot to go back too!
Just need to get yourself a centerpin now haha
@@albionangling could see Ambo with his fingers wrapped around a nice Adcock Stanton. You know what to do!
Well in lads, I can see this stretch being in our top 5 trotting locations from 15th June!
Yeah will be a great stretch to fish in June, got a feeling theres a big chub in there
Makes me sad that I live in a part of the UK with no rivers 🤣
Haha yeah rivers are awesome mate, but I'm sad I don't live in Orkney tbf!!

Swings and roundabouts 🤣
Like I said we'll have to get you up sometime 👍
Plenty of water (just none that moves in a straight line) 😏

Great session lads and a really enjoyable video. Where did you get the day tickets from? might give that a go when the new season starts.

Do you plum depth first to get rough idea or can you run threw shallow ?
