2 nice wild brownies, great stuff and well fished in tricky conditions. A microfiber cloth in your jacket might help with pesky raindrops on the camera lens. Most enjoyable with the river looking good. Cheers Peter.

What a beautiful section of river, even if the pike weren’t cooperating! Out of interest, do you wear one of those midge net head thingys to stop the little sods feasting on you? Asking for a friend! 😂😂👍

@afishermansdiarywithiainup5377 17 күн бұрын

Yes lovely stretch of river. I do sometimes wear a midge net but not that day. I actually have a jacket and headnet in one that is good when they are really bad. Fine for lures and bait fishing but not much use for fly fishing as you cant see the fly on the water.

Nice one Iain, cor luv a duck-the pike certainly did!! Maybe try that on the Ayr, and possibly invest in a couple of pike flies, could be good fun too, cheers Peter.

@afishermansdiarywithiainup5377 18 күн бұрын

Hi Peter. Yes the Pike certainly liked the duck that day. Good fun. There isnt any pike in the Ayr so probably not catch much on the duck there. Maybe get a salmon. That would be a turn up for the books!! Never tried fly fishing for pike. Might have to give it a go.

Very good video. I have fished the Bladnoch and Tarff for almost 40 years. My son in law owns the Mochrum Park beat . Unfortunately the salmon fishing is not a patch on what it used to be. 😢

@afishermansdiarywithiainup5377 6 ай бұрын

Thanks. I have access to a stretch of the upper Bladnoch. Sadly the river doesnt hold any salmon up the bit I fish anymore as the acid from the bogs leaches into the water and the water is now to acidic for salmon eggs to germinate. Its true what you say about not being as many salmon. Sadly that seems to be a common theme of rivers in the uk these days. Still some coarse fish and a few trout so still worth a cast
