#73 : A Cold and Frosty November at Dever Springs

You can view my website here : www.martynwilliamsflies.co.uk/
This was one of those days when swapping flies, lines and methods really made the difference. The water was "gin clear" , but not lots of fish showing in the margins. I had a great crew of mates & anglers turn up , and we ended up with plenty of fish. On this trip I was using my new go pro camera and I feel the quality and shots are much better, please let me know what you think.

That water was so still, like a Christmas card that view

[@martynwilliams7229]

It was a stunning day mate

Fished here once about 20 years ago ish on a 3 day tour. Pitsford on day one then stayed B&B near to Dever where I caught my limit very quickly and took a video (so it must have been at least 25 years ago) of a chap landing quite a big fish who I found out unfortunately had a heart attack later and died. Then on to Avington for my last day which was a pain as there are 2 Avingtons so I drove miles and miles towards avington following my AA road atlas on the way to hungerford only to find it wasnt the one I wanted so all the way back down the A34 further than I had come from. A great 3 days and I saw some enormous fish but only caught regular size ones myself

Thanks for that story my friend, do you still fish ?

[@theemptybagkid]

The GoPro quality is great. The rewind function meaning you can get the hook up on film really works well. Thank for getting me on film with that lovely brown. 🎣👍🏻👍🏻

[@martynwilliams7229]

Thanks Jason, it was a great day.

[@seanbenstead7650]

I can't wait to get the all clear from Drs so I can join you all again looks like you all had a great day out 👍

[@markosborne8784]

Excellent vivid filming, and that chest mount makes all the difference. Fantastic video. 👍👍👍

[@martynwilliams7229]

Thanks mate

[@ironmanmichael]

The chest cam is 100% better. Great to be able to see your hands and the retrieve. Makes all the difference. 👍

[@martynwilliams7229]

Thanks Michael, I was pleased with the first attempt

[@neilevans1184]

Enjoyed that one Martyn, the go-pro done a great job👍 some cracking fish caught , well done all. I was at Rockbourne in that frost , great to get back out , looking forward to a lot more trips. Looking forward to the next vid 👌👌👍👍

[@martynwilliams7229]

Thanks 👍

[@martynwilliams7229]

Thanks mate

[@Full_on_flyfishing]

Bloody hell Martyn the new Xmas present is life changing! Also Paul was making hell of a meal out of that one at the end 😅

[@martynwilliams7229]

Playing to the crowd mate 😂😂

[@pugsley0659]

Quality of the new Gopro is exceptional.

[@MichaelWill-rh2ly]

Always enjoy your footage. Chest mount a great improvement re stability….why don’t you add an aftermarket battery cover with charging slot and a power bank in your pocket rather than having to constantly change batteries…?

[@martynwilliams7229]

Sounds like a good idea mate

[@waynesmith4589]

What reel are you using there Martyn ?

[@martynwilliams7229]

They are the original Hardy DD reels, they have a new version now.

At least the place is not covered with weeds, and you can make a cast, It costs a lot of money to clean out someone else's pond from May on.
