Gone in a flash Dave, some big fish in the Leven for sure, all the best

Season flew by Chris, good and bad days and about 3 streams visited out of about 10 planned!

Much more satisfaction Dave, landing a tiny fly in a likely spot and watching it get smashed, cannae beat it!

Lots of fun though Chris, do you have your end of season outings all sorted out? time running out fast

@DaviekFlyFishing just waiting to see what happens with the thunder storms we're SUPPOSED to get. Our rivers could do with a bit of a lift. I did pop out to the little moorland stream yesterday and bagged some footage to put out over Christmas (oh God, I just mentioned the C word)!! At least it will give me a bit of editing to do whilst I'm trapped in with the family🤣

@@chrismatthewsflyfishing7724 Tell you what, some folk have the pyramids, New York or the like on their bucket list. Dartmoor is certainly on mine 👍

It's a special place Davie, you'd love it , mind you you've got plenty of fantastic rivers in Scotland, maybe one day I'll cast a line up there?👍​@DaviekFlyFishing

@@chrismatthewsflyfishing7724 Fished up here much Chris?

I blame her for spooking fish before i get to them!

@@JoeQuinnFollow_the_fln She enjoys her wee days out, usually a packet of ham in my pocket to keep her sweet!

Certainly low Dave but its never really much higher from May onwards, quick spate and then drops again. Been so windy up here lately. Was down in Holmfirth on Friday, River Holme looked inviting! Your neck of the woods?

Quite a good way from mine fella! Its south Yorkshire but i know the river, and Holmfirth. theres some monstrous trout in there but i couldn't find out about permission, clubs etc when I looked into it. 👍

Love the rod Chris, not had anything of a decent size on it though. Nice and easy casting. You have one too?

@DaviekFlyFishing no, but I'm thinking about it, I'm told they're tougher than carbon fibre if you take a tumble. They also have a nice "through" action, which apparently leads to fewer hook pulls. Maybe next season?

@@chrismatthewsflyfishing7724 Definitely worth the money, not expensive

@@soultrader57fishingandmusi25 It's even been above 20 degrees up here believe it or not! I have 2 Burns about 10 miles from home to explore Dave, looking forward to it. See you again when it's a bit cooler👍

Cheers Daniel, a great place to unwind and only a 5 minute walk from home

Giving you a shout there Chris, there was nothing left of that fly by the end of the evening! The River Leven had a horrible tinge last summer for a few weeks too, maybe is Algae from the Loch, people are still catching but I'll wait until it clears, just not pleasing to the eye. Hope to have some different small stream outings soon, you seemed to have your mojo back last time

@DaviekFlyFishing yep, mojo restored, off to fish the little Dartmoor stream tomorrow (although it looks like we might get a bit of rain), and that always makes me smile 😃

@@paulwyse878 First time I'd seen any fish rising in that run Paul after 4 or 5 visits the last few seasons, quite deep by the rocks, it always looked promising 👍

@@DaviekFlyFishing next time I'm out for a walk with the wee one I'll give it a wee try. Used to see some fish on the main bit after the sluice where the depth guage is years ago but nothing recently. Might give that a tickle too.

@@jumpjump2906 River Leven. Markinch viaduct

Cheers Chris, good for the confidence when you match the hatch, restores the faith

Yes David, wet fly worked down by the cricket pitch. Dry Flies up the Lothrie Burn

@@DaviekFlyFishing thought I noticed the infamous white bridge,braw video by the way

@@davidfarley1913 Cheers, didn't have to edit too much as I caught a few for once!

Cheers Daniel, great when you get it right regarding what fly to use, Luna was after the chicken slices in my pocket! The bridge area is a new wee run that wasn't accessible last season, great fun. A lovely wee burn, the Argyll streams will be smashing I'd imagine

@@DaviekFlyFishing you would love some of these burns David, they look ideal & they are running straight from the sea, perfect for sea trout n Salmon coming back into lay

I wanted to fish the run at the glendevon bridge but campers everywhere! Beautiful part of the world, cheers

@@DaviekFlyFishing if you are looking to fish at the Dunning bridge. Best Monday to Thursday. Once it gets to Friday, the wild campers move in. Not worth attempting to fish. Place is a right mess on the Monday morning. It was up at the bridge on Wednesday night. Good rise of fish at dusk. Upper part is well worth a try. Was this bit you tried. Just up from the fish farm?? Looked to give that a blast next time out

@@jumpjump2906 That's right, up through the bull field at your own risk,!

Hi Daniel. Beautiful around there for sure. The Ochil Hills for a backdrop is hard to beat

Lovely along the Ochils Daniel

@@soultrader57fishingandmusi25 Yeah, a spare River Dave. Doesn't have a happy medium really. Jumpers certainly aren't just for goalposts up here!

😂😂

Hi David. It's at the Weir in the Town Park. Some good fish in that run

@@DaviekFlyFishing the town park in Glenrothes I take it Davie,,, anyway,braw video and a new sub, cheers

@@davidfarley1913 Aye, G-Toon! Thanks for the sub, trying to make the videos more watchable! Where do you usually fish?

Indeed Chris! Had most of my bigger fish just at the drop off the Weir, a great run with fish nearly always rising but not always keen on my flies or iffy presentation! I'm away to watch your latest adventure 👍

Jolts you back for sure, Dry Fly Sport is the best but a wee wet on the swing has its moments!

The tried and trusted Chris!

You'll be catching on the Wickham soon!

Cheers Martin, I will try to on my next videos, still learning this editing lark! My accent can be quite strong sometimes! Been to Dublin and Donegal but not Cork. Good fishing there?

A 2 minute walk and I'm fishing Dave. The wee stream is the Lothrie Burn, tumbles down from the Lomond Hills into the River Leven. 👍

@@DaviekFlyFishing that's 3 minutes nearer than mine! 🤣

Cheers Jamesy!🎣

Cheers Dave, I do fish mostly wets until things liven up. North Country, Yorkshire and Clyde Style Spiders- sparse, things of beauty! I'll be giving it a go with 2 flies for the first time this week. My dad says all you need on the River is a wee Black Spider!!

He's probably right! 😊👍

Cheers. Still a chill in the air, wee bit warmer next week, should help🤞

Yes, Town Park, near the old hippo pond👍

Sure are, great wee burn👍

Hi Kenneth. Started on 15th March🎣

My 9 foot rod is a bit big sometimes. Less snags with the 7ft 3wgt👍

@@DaviekFlyFishing I will need to get another rod for small streams and burns using a 9ft 6/7wt I started off at fishery

Hi Chris, I thought I would leave in some footage of getting snagged in those creeping trees, I lost 2 flies in the first five minutes and that's with the vegetation not existent. The local River is sky high, thankfully the wee tributary is ok. All the best when you get out on the water.

flies were lost in the trees, I don't lose much in the actual water, never tried nymphing and very unlikely to. I was using my 4 weight but the wind had died down by the time I hit the water. Cheers for the comments

Some great fish caught. I swap between indicator single nymph at start of the river season. As fish still deep in the river. Then switch the guideline rod onto serious light dry fly rig. Your help and advice pointed me towards the Guideline lps set up. Great that it does both nymph and dry fly on one rod.

Dave, the only two bites resulted in Trout, Ill have to pay more attention to how the fish look! I tend to get too excited to notice, but the red spots really stick out, the smaller one was quite golden, happy days.

All the best to you too Dave, I have a good feeling for the season ahead and as you say, might be the same burn but need to figure it out again 👍

Been a long time coming 🎣

For sure Faither

Conland Burn. Hopefully still be enough of a flow come May
