Do you reckon a CDC feather could be a good substitute for a hooded crow?

Dear Robert I have wanted your book on north county spiders for ages and begged someone in my family to get it for me a and son came up trumps for me this Christmas I can’t wait to get started on some of the patterns to fish on my local Devon rivers on Dartmoor do you recommend any As I know you fish on Dartmoor from time to time Kind regards Timothy James

@thedalesangler Ай бұрын

Thanks Tim, I hope you enjoy the book. I generally fish dry fly when i'm down on Dartmoor. But on the occasions i have fished spiders, i've found the Spring Black, Orange Partidge, Broughton Point, Black Magic, Light Spanish Needle and Waterhen Bloa to be highly productive. Hope that helps. Rob

@@fieldsman3307 in the last few years I've had some nice brown trout on the Tywi, though sadly the sewin have all but disappeared. The Teifi too has some nice browns and tho not a river Teifi pools is always worth a visit on the right day. i love fishing in mid Wales, would rather it than Scotland which is, apart from the far North, overrated. tight lines for 2025 and all the best.

I was just watching one of your videos and thought hold on, I've seen this man before! I met you on the cherrybrook, the day that there was a thunderstorm. It's been my first year fly fishing for wild brown trout in rivers and, I've rather fallen in love with it. On the small Dartmoor Rivers I've generally been using a dry fly but next year I wish to try and experiment more with nymphs for when they're not looking up

Hi Chris, I do remember bumping into you on Cherrybrook. Hope you had a good season on Dartmoor and the Devon rivers. It was a strange experience fishing in that thunderstorm!

Desde España, muchas gracias Robert por mantener vivos los orígenes de nuestra pesca. Sobre todo en estos tiempos en los que , al menos en España, hay un auténtico furor entre la juventud por eso que llaman "euronynphing", modalidad totalmente alejada de las delicias y placeres que proporciona nuestra forma de pesca.

Probably, as it is early in Kirkbride's list of flies. I've fished it on the Wharfe, and had some good catches with it. But, as with all traditional split wing dry flies, a couple of fish, and the wings start to fall apart. But, having said that, it is nice to see a traditional split wing dry fly dancing down stream.
