Fishing for brown trout on our local river with surprising results

A few highlights from the 2020 brown trout and grayling fishing season. A mix of nymph and dry fly fishing, we are sure that there is something in this fishing highlights video for you to enjoy.
Having our travel restricted due to the global pandemic and local lockdown, we found ourselves exploring our local river. A river that we hadn't fished properly since childhood. Whilst the average size of the fish in this river would never compete with the bigger, more well known rivers. Their abundance and enthusiasm certainly had us entertained during some difficult times.

Plenty of great fishing and sport looks like you have your own wee river of paradise on the doorstep. Thanks for sharing.

Great video folks & beautiful fish. Music was kept low enough for me to enjoy the wonderful sounds of the river flowing, many thanks for that & tight lines as always. Derick.

Cheers Derick, glad we got the balance right for you :)

Great video what river are yous fishing? Looks gd fun! Want to start fly fishing. Want to fish smaller streams and rivers what rod and real would you recommend?

[@AnglingScotland]

Depends what you want to do. Generally don’t need more than a 9ft 4 weight rod for most of our rivers. We also use a 10 or 11ft 3wt when fishing with nymphs. It’s the river esk

Beautiful river, very clean and some amazing fish caught.
Reminds me of my own doorstep river, the 33 miles of the river Devon that runs through Clackmannanshire.
Love the video, roll on the fishing season 👍

[@AnglingScotland]

Thanks for watching! You’re right, many similar qualities to the Devon. We fished it for the first time in the summer, absolutely loved it! Tight lines when it comes ;)

[@noblestsavage1742]

Didn’t realise the grayling are as far up as the glen. Nice film lads. I think I recognised the stretch behind dobies there too?

[@craigleith100]
