@dj-fattman I have a couple of home tied patterns based on a Caddis Nymph. When are you out fishing next I'll pop down with you and bring some nymphs for you to try

@@jackwiltshire5712 I've only been once here. It's a lovely place but would like to go back sometime in the future. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

@@AdventuringWithSylwia haha thank you! Thanks for watching 👍🏼

@dominicbarne5218 Yes mate blow the dust off and give it bash! It's good fishing on our river...hope you don't catch as many tree's as I do and yes send em in! 😆 thanks for watching and commenting! 👍🏼

@FlyfishingLwyd Yes! Your right there. These kids walked past me while I was on the glide by the fallen tree. They asked tips, I said there's no spinning on this river and to check the rules for each river you plan to go to. They apologised and moved on. Last year I saw a guy with his kid spinning using a carp or sea rod upstream of the skatepark!!!!!!! I'm not sure what he was expecting to catch in the lwyd but it's not good for the fish and certainly not necessary.

@@laketrotterfishing I caught three guys up by chapel lane lure fishing smoking weed and drinking strongbow. I challenged them and they tried to claim they were not fishing even though they had a rod. And I had seen them fishing the most annoying part is they were just dumping their empty cans on the river bank.

@FlyfishingLwyd some people need to get a grip. Especially "grown ups"! Even if signs were put up people will still ignore them. If the angling clubs patrol their waters maybe this wouldn't happen as much at least. P.S. still waiting on my rod :(

@debrascott5005 Yes I definitely think that too 🫶❤️

Thank you ❤

No problem 👍 hope this gives you more of an idea

Hi Matt! This process did work. I have used the boots 3 or 4 times since this video and I've had no problems so far (my river is very rocky too so my soles are at all angles wading upstream). The only issue I can find so far is the gluing of the heel transition where the felt sole didn't stick to the mid sole for what ever reason but hasnt caused a problem yet. Some people tack the felt sole to the mid sole. Not sure if that would solve the issue but for the price of some glue I'd say it's definitely worth trying to fix them. Just soak the soles in hot water for 5 or 10 mins to make it easier to remove the damaged sole. I will get an update video done this evening if I have time so you can have a visual of what I mean. Thanks for viewing too much appreciated 🙏

@@laketrotterfishing hey that’s fantastic news and much appreciated I have subscribed to your channel as you were good enough to take time out and upload the video and share with others and that’s awesome all the best mate will watch your updates

Thanks bud! Yes I thought the last fish was definitely more sea Trout looking with it being more silver, dotty and off colour fins. I only have his rod. On my reel is 8lb mono to a tippet ring with a fluro tippet at 4lb and a water knot to attach the dropper 👍🏼

@@laketrotterfishing Nice one bro, wasnt sure if you just had a real long leader or if you had a streamline sinking line. Might have to give it a go with one of my light lure rods and just use one my reels with mono on it. That deffo looked like a Sea Trout with the colours, as I was watching your video Charlie from Rapala put some pics up of ST he has been having. When I compared them both they looked very similar! Was down the river yesterday two more parr on further up by the Oasis and then a larger one down on the pool where you had the Otter on camera. I actually had an Otter come up from my feet the other day, that was pretty cool! Have you noticed there isnt as many Minnow as usual?

Thank you ❤️

Haha yes it was sounding awful. I had some grit in there but it's good now 👍🏼 Thanks for the view and sub too! Much appreciated! Will Sub back! ✌🏼

Thanks! Yes I was a great little rod. Ditto Nathans comment above! Hope you find one soon. If you find 2 then let me know 😆 Thanks for watching 👍🏼

Thanks bud! Took a Perdigon on a duo. 🙌👊

@@laketrotterfishing nice one, thnks, tight lines always buddy,

No Problem Chrisy! All the best! 🫡

@@laketrotterfishing am jst getting rdy to hit my local trout and salmon river over the back from me, the river kelvin, it runs right through Glasgow, just using spinners and few plastics, I'm sunbed up buddy, tight lines always

​@Chrisy-zt2hs sounds good! How long you been fishing?

Thank you I appreciate that! I'm happy that you enjoyed it. Yes it is a beautiful river even more so on a sunny summers evening. Thanks for watching and for your comment 👍🏼

Absolutely! I took lots away from that. Your a great instructor. I'll speak with you soon 👍🏼

​@@laketrotterfishingI had 8 brownies out of there yesterday plus a small salmon euro nymphing it's a good river

​@@rodgie84 nice! Euro is a good way to fish. Good going 👍🏼

@@laketrotterfishing it's the way forward too get numbers m8

Ok. I will slot that one in somewhere soon 👍🏼

U want to go up near ash bridge huge better harder biteing fish

Hi Brian, this is the Afon Lwyd in Torfaen, South Wales. It's my local river. A river that's not very wide but has a good pace to it. Torfaen means "breaker of stones". Thank you for the comment and for watching 🙏👍

Yes it is! I tried copper John's, perdigon, PTN and a minnow pattern but not a bite off any of those until the evening when I changed to a Hares Ear Nymph. Hope your good bud 👍🏼

They can say goodbye to the tench they have stocked in the boating lake 😢

@@dj-fattman yes mate get out there for a bit. Might see you on the bank one evening 👍

Is it still £40 for Cwmbran Angling membership

@FlyfishingLwyd not sure on the membership prices tbh. I know it's £7 for a day ticket on the lwyd. I did read a while back that CAA were giving it all up but I really don't know what's happening with CAA lately. I tried contacting them regarding their waters by email and through Facebook in the past but never got any replies

Will do! 👍

Thank you for that tip! I will definitely work on that. I find line control tricky because I want the fly or nymph to look natural in the flow. When I try keeping in contact, I find I disturb the fly making it not look natural. It seems such an art. The river is fast I find retrieving line from upstream and letting line out down stream yo match the flow difficult too. It's all practice though and just happy to be back out after a long absence this time around. Appreciate your view and input 👌 👍

OK I'll get a furled leader. Can that also be used while nymphing? Shorter drifts make sense too. I did lose a fly and straightened out two hooks due to my nymph getting snagged under rocks. May try an indicator next time to help control depth too

Tight Lines 👊✌️

Cwmbran Angling Association 👍

@@laketrotterfishing thanks 👍

Thanks bud! 👍

Oi oi! That will be good. You can send it to [email protected]. I appreciate that thank you very much! Will be a great help! I bought a bit of fly tying materials trying my hand at tying. Fly fishing is very exciting and I'm hooked (excuse the pun😒)

@@laketrotterfishing Nice mate. I went out the other week, missed three takes since I was keeping an eye on people behind me with their dogs. Just pinged you an email. Been watching some fly tieing vids too. Bought a load of stuff a few years ago, but never got round to doing anything.

​@@dj-fattmanI love dogs just not as much when I'm fishing. I have tied a couple so far but I find it time consuming as I'm so inexperienced. Whipping knot does my head in 😂 Thank for the email I'll check it out this evening 🙏

@@laketrotterfishing I am a dog person, I just don't like their owners, lol. A woman threw the ball right where I was fishing. Plus the kids are little shits, launching rocks at me the other day.

Cheers Nathan!! I will get some. I see you've been pulling some nice fish out too! 👍

Yeah I have had some lovely fish lately I especially like the fish on the dries something magical about it

​@@FlyfishingLwyd your right there! Such a buzz!

If you fancy a session one evening give me a shout

❤ So many people speak badly of the fishing in this river but I'm loving it! 👍

Thanks Brian! I am in South Wales. Fly fishing is really exciting so there will definately be more to come. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks mate! 👍 appreciate that 🙏 always wanted to try the fly and I love it tbh

Cheers mate! You out this week?

@@dj-fattman sweet! Na probably not as I'm feeling rough but you never know 😆 tight Lines to you!

​@@dj-fattman hiya mate did I see you on the fly yesterday evening below the skatepark bridge?

@@FlyfishingLwyd I currently have a 9ft rod so the 6ft rod I bought will be good on here too then based on what you say. Are nymph rods stiffer or something?

No the tip is softer so you can feel the nymphs on the bottom. And the but sections of the rod are stiff which is where all the power comes from.

🤣🤣 I thought you did. Seems this style would be right up your street. Yes was well happy with this. Don't think they go a great deal bigger in here

@@laketrotterfishing They do vary in size mate, had 3.5lb out of there before. Pontypool angling stretch they seem to be bigger again. Some big ones in the Brook too. Think we have it tougher due to the people / dog pressure around the park.

​@@FlyfishingLwyd thanks mate! I'll be sure to get some 👍

Hiya mate! Good to see you out n about too bud 👍✌️

Because I didn't realise that there was a cap inserted on the thread which I was supposed to take out before fitting the centre pole which I did mention before and after the cut. I wouldn't go as far as saying its a "useless" video just because I didn't show the removal of a small unscrewable cap which can be seen on the floor in the next frame and mentioned. Wasn't something that was unpleasant at all I just didn't think it was important to show myself underneath a brolly removing a cap which took about 5 or 10 seconds to remove. If that is what you was looking forward to seeing then I'm a bit concerned for you but thanks for watching 👍

Edit: you know what I meant! No need to be consern after, be consern before and show all the actions if you really want to make a review etc. Show the whole true! All the situations! Try an unboxing before filming and then show and film the actions properly without cuts and stuff that are confusing! Just an advice. You may do as you please but accept all opinions than. Good or bad. Cheers.

@@inSaNe_44 that's why I explained what I was doing and showed the cap that needs removing before the insertion of the centre pole. I don't know how it was confusing as I explained what I was doing. It's not like I completely missed it out but thanks for your input!

Hi mate & thanks 👍 I'll keep that in mind for the next time. Thanks for the advice and for watching! Appreciate it very much! 🙏

Hi Paul! I'm really happy that you enjoy the content and that it brings back those happy memories for you! Thanks for the support, it means alot! 🙏 All the best mate 👍

haha yes your right there! The first was small but they got bigger. I don't mind Bream tbh but alot of anglers seem to despise them. Thanks for watching :-)
