- Hello everyone! Here’s my footage from a recent wild camping fishing adventure! Recently I packed up my tent and headed out to the hills where took on some challenging sunshine to try and catch a few trout and ended up being rewarded well for my efforts!
Some really good trout you caught, the last 1 you caught on the second day fast fantastic. I just found this video whilst trying to look for lochs to fish, I have been very unlucky lately. keep up the great work.
Thanks for watching gus! I haven’t got out much recently but I’ve got a couple more places in mind where I’d like to get out to this year yet! Hope you get out too, Tight lines!!
@@DaibhidhBiy I have only been out once this year but never caught anything. Hopefully I will be out again soon
Well done again young fella keep up with the good work a real pleasure to watch
I'm a recent subscriber and have been working my way through your videos in recent days. Just want to say thanks for making the effort to record these fishing adventures and how much I'm enjoying them. This one reminds me of the kind of fishing I enjoy in west Donegal and the kind of places I like to fish. The solitide is special (not for everyone thankfully) and every wild trout is a jewel. Your commentary is perfect for the videos you make. I often find miself making a commentary to myself as I fish and having "conversations" with myself as I catch or lose a fish or when it just doesn't seem to be working. Every day out fishing is an adventure. Thanks again, and tight lines for 2022 👍
I’ve enjoyed reading your comments Richard, tight lines for 2022 and I hope you get a few good days out!
Midas fly every time or foam beetle great video
Nice 😁 reminds me of loch fishing in Shetland
Thanks my friend! Maybe one day I’ll get some Shetland lochs ticked off my list!
Nice man what a cool setup!
Beauty brownies mate, not easy at all fishing in those midge conditions!
Some of the worst I’ve ever felt! Takes me about 10 minutes to tie on a new fly because I’m scratching myself and dancing about so much!
@@DaibhidhBiy I know bud I was fishing in Glen Affric with no wind in August.. DEADLY.. !
Interesting, I grew up in the north of Sutherland and learnt to fly fish the innumerable small lochans (55 years ago), I always use a floating line with a very very long leader at least 30 feet of 2lb line, as to flys stopped using a variety of flies years ago, carry just 2 small and black and for real fun Daddy long legs. I suspect I might know some of the lochs you've fished! Stopped distance casting years ago as I seemed to catch most fish close in. Enjoy your "stealth" fishing, shame so few people these days are prepared to walk the miles needed.
I went on a trip up to Scourie with some family a couple of weeks ago, trout season had ended, and I have to l say it looks like a hill icy anglers dream! I can imagine that there are some real gems up there if you’re willing to do the walking! Interesting to hear about your set up, especially the longer leader, Thanks for watching , Daibhidh
@@DaibhidhBiy I spend a week fishing the hill lochs between Scourie and Kinloch (at the end of Loch More) every year with a good friend of mine. He has been going every year (when the coof allows) for 60 years and me for the last 30+ years. I travel to lochs well off of the beaten track and over the years I have caught some splendid brown trout up to 3lbs. My best double hook up was when I hooked a pretty large fish on the point (cinnamon & gold) and whilst I was playing it another fish took the dropper (kate mclaren). Whilst I'm wondering how to proceed the smaller fish on the dropper managed to unhook itself (I'd estimate it at around a pound) and I finally landed the other fish (a brownie of around 3lb). These are my go to wet flies but I predominantly use a dry comparadun close in in most situations and catch some very good fish.
@@brianperks7278 thanks for watching Brian! We’re pretty well into the off season now and I’m already dreaming of adventures up there already, Kate McLaren is definitely on of my go to wet flys also, can’t wait to get back out into the hills in March!
Excellent stuff young man. Is there minnows in these hill lochs? If so I would recommend Peter Ross or Alexandra in size 14. Tight lines for 2022.
Not sure about the presence of minnows here actually, 2 patterns there that know of well but I have never actually fished! I will need to get some tied up for 2022, tight lines!
best bit see fish swim away unharmed
I am looking at blue lining a few lochs and streams this year. Up near Helmsdale and Strathy. You been to any around and if so recommend please.
what a great few days you had. That s part of my fishing plan next season. So this winter im going to be tying a load of wet flys! What rod size and line weight did you use and fly choice? Top work and great video I will start watching you r video s with great intrest. cheers tom
Hello tom, I am using a 7 weight rod and line in this video, but a 6/7 will be perfect for any team of 2 wet flies which is what I prefer to usually fish. For fly choices I think I had a Zulu pattern on with a coch-y-bondhu on the top dropper. The coch-y-bondhu has really been my favourite fly this year- it will catch loch trout up and down the country in rivers and lochs, really love it!!! I’m heading out fishing tomorrow evening and reading your positive comment has got me more excited! Tight lines!!!
@@DaibhidhBiy thanks so much buddy. See you in a hill lock one day!
Don't want to be 'one of those people' but you need to wear eye protection.....especially when out on yr own like that.
Excellent video, lovely spot.
Hi Chris that’s good advice. Thanks for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
I'm off to assynt is a week to celebrate graduation. I'm relatively new to fly fishing, especially wet fly loch style fishing. If anyone has any tips or any resources I should look at that would be greatly appreciated!
Tight lines!
Floating fly line, at least 9 feet of leader and some small dark flies and you can’t go far wrong!!
Read the green corrie
What are you doing when you reach up to your Go Pro and it beeps? Seen it a few times in your vids now.
How long have you been fly fishing?
There’s a feature on the GoPro where it will record everything but once you press the button it will start saving you footage from 15 seconds before the button was pressed, it’s very good for catching bites and saves a lot of memory. You can switch the beep off since I wear the camera on my head and can’t see the flashing red light to tell if I’m recording I just leave it on. Sometimes I’ll edit a quick cut in to skip the noise but sometimes I’ll just leave it in 🤷♂️. Thanks for watching!! Hope the videos are as fun to watch as they are to make! I’ve Been fly fishing for about 3 years now!
@@DaibhidhBiy That's a clever function mate!! I was actually wondering about a feature like that on my Spey river solo trip where I was trying to catch footage of the salmon leaping! Good info!
@@EzeAdventurer definitely worth it!
All that for a few small trout? Scotland needs to stock their waters.
It's wild trout,the fish are stunning
The plural of "trout" is trout, not "trouts"...
Don’t think so buddy
The plural of “dog” isn’t “dog” is it
