Prefer to return them so some other angler might get the thrill of catching them, a wise man one said "a trout is too valuable to be caught only once".
I have been fishing a two fly rig for most of the last 50 years as my go to system! Hardly ever fish dry asI find little need! A streamer on the point with a wet, usually a size 12 Picket Pin, on a dropper, 2 feet, more or less, on a short, stiff tag. SometimesI hook 2 trout on one flick but only land both maybe 50% of the time! If you fish streamers, I suggest you give it a try! Tight lines! Nice trout you caught here!
Wow!...these are serious wild brown trout, amazing to know such fish reside and thrive in your river...really well done for catching/landing these fellas from all your years of experience George ...and for respectfully handling/returning them safely. As a positive / thanks to recent weather conditions, perhaps you wouldn't have traditionally attracted these larger / quality fish without showing them a streamer mouthful...hoping you have a great season over the coming months with your nymphs and dries....great video and a real red letter day👍👍
Great to see the streamer fishing George and fantastic sized trout. Last year I started focusing at just fishing streamers on the Nore especially during salmon-like conditions (dropping flood). Definitely catch less fish throughout the day but the takes are addicting and they are great craic to tie as well. Would love to see you do more streamer fly tying videos in the future if you get the time!
Fine trout George, nice to see theres some good trout in the rivers,many years ago i hooked a 4 pound trout on a tiny grey duster near dark in a small stream,all hell broke loose but i landed it.rivers were hit badly round here with drainage leaving very little water to fish in the summer time
Thank you and congratulations for showing such a good day of fishing. Honestly, I think it would be very beneficial for you to use Spanish-style nymphing techniques. For my part, I would be happy to show you the basic principles of this technique.
Congrats George. Stunning fish. Great to see a big Pike showing too. You lnow the river is in good health when theres two species of apex predators thriving.
Super sport George! Like you im a streamer novice, i always feel its a less elegant form of fly fishing but very exciting! Superb method when the rivers are "too strong" ive found it controversial with my own utube followers 😂 What weight would you put that big boy at??👍
Love a bit of streamer fishing My tackle supplier sells me really heavy flies though. Yours seemed quite light and you cast it easy. May I ask what you had on?
What great trout, the first streamer, was that your angry bird, second catch would that have been a mary banger, I haven’t used streamers myself but I am going to give it a go, ordered a few off your mate to see how I get on then will tie up a few myself. Great video as always.
For me thats an Irish river native brown trout of a lifetime. You never forget. Well done George.
Thanks a million..
Great video Lordy Grangemouth Scotland 🐟🎣🇮🇪🏴
Thanks a million..
Some lovely water you you have there, with beautiful trout, recommend you buy a bigger net though you never know your luck.
Very true!
Should be packing freezer George there some lovely trout for the plate. But that last one don’t think I could do it either what wonderful fish.

You got that right Bob.
I'd give my right arm to catch a big trout like that. stunning, and well played sir.

You're have to get a bigger net! Great video. We necer stop learning, especially with ypur videos, thanks

Fabulous video George and I'm just wondering about the trousers your wearing at the beginning. What brand are they and are they waterproof or not?
Bought from Decathlon sports, not waterproof..
Two magnificent fish ! Well done mister.
Seems to me the rain season lasted too long for yee as well
Thanks for sharing
Yes, thanks
Super sport George! Like you im a streamer novice, i always feel its a less elegant form of fly fishing but very exciting! Superb method when the rivers are "too strong" ive found it controversial with my own utube followers 😂
What weight would you put that big boy at??👍
Estimated 6 pounds plus.
Some of my biggest browns have come on streamers in the spring time. It's definitely a rush hooking a giant Trout.
For real..
Super fish well done
Another brilliant video George. Have you ever fly fished for Thwaite Shad? If so what kind of set up?
Never fished for shad...
Brilliant fish George. Fish of a lifetime well done.
Thanks a million..

Excellent video George, lovely bit of water your fishing, whats the verdict on the cadence rod and reel??
I like the Cadence, at 5weight it's a good allrounder..
Savage trout George 🎣
Cheers pal.
Love a bit of streamer fishing
My tackle supplier sells me really heavy flies though. Yours seemed quite light and you cast it easy. May I ask what you had on?
My own tying, Angry Bird, my last vid features this tying, check it out.
What great trout, the first streamer, was that your angry bird, second catch would that have been a mary banger, I haven’t used streamers myself but I am going to give it a go, ordered a few off your mate to see how I get on then will tie up a few myself. Great video as always.
The Angry Bird and a version of the Mary Banger, well spotted.
Some great fish, well done. Just got myself some streamers but haven't wet them yet. What line and leader setup do you use.
Sink tip line and five feet of 12lb mono.
Great video 👍🏻 unbelievable fish
Yes, thanks
@@springerspanielfulhello George where is the fair at week end all the best danny
Ardaire Springs Mooncoin Co. Kilkenny.
Great stuff George - what weight rod do you use streamer fishing ? Are they heavy weighted the streamers ?
I'm using a 10' 6weight rod, some streamers are weighted and some aren't.
Well done cracking Trout and really enjoyed th e video :)
Thanks 👍
Excellent, loved it.
Many thanks!
Great video.
Was it necessary to force him into the the net like that and then one handed lifting in his centre ?
Yes and yes
Two beauties
For sure..
Specimen, well done 🎉
Thanks Lukasz.
unbelieveable fish George what weight do you reckon he was
At a guess around 6 pounds..
nice one
Thanks for the visit
Some trout, you won't forgot that in a hurry 👏How are you getting on with the j vice?
Great piece of kit, highly recommended.
What river are you fishing
I have membership of quite a few clubs and fish many rivers..
almost looks like a dollaghan you ever tried for them
Not yet.
Looks like a river run lake Trout?
This river is not connected to any lake..
What river I'd love to know
can i ask the name of the River
You can..
thanks
Jesus Christ be praised!
Allahu akbar..
What streamers were you using and will you be doing a couple of tying vids on them.
I will indeed, stay tuned.
@@springerspanielfulI’ll look forward to seeing them! That’s what I was going to ask! You’re going to need a bigger net! 😂 🎣 🐋
Maith an fear !
Three great fish you hooked into.
Yes, thanks
Another superb video George. That was one he'll of a fish.I'd like to know your tackle set up if you have the time to reply.
Andy in Scotland.
Thanks.
Absolutely Andy, I'm using a 10' 6weight rod with reel to match, a sink tip line, 5' of 12lb mono and my Angry Bird streamer..
Thank you so much George for taking the time to reply. Best wishes for the rest of the season 🙏
