[@freeforester1717]

There are records of one Victorian landowner who stocked high altitude lochs and lochans on his estate in Scotland by having pony panniers (baskets which sit either side of the pony’s withers) lined with linen bags, which themselves were coated with pitch, then filled with stream water, and then the fingerling trout which had been bred in captivity were put into these ‘portable goldfish bags’ and transported to their end destinations by the pony and ghillie. Great endeavour!

[@kevinchamberlain7928]

@@adventurefishinguk Sea fishing is where I'm from but Lleyn Geirionydd is a good trout lake with a mixture of (brown) trout introduced for various reasons so their colours are considered the most beautiful. I caught a 3/4lb one with red, black and yellow spots, yellow perfect fins, white underbelly. Interestingly, the lake is thought to be dead which keeps everyone away but there is serious tonnage of trout in there. Big eels, too. Only locals tend to know about this...

[@petermarsh4993]

Fantastic rod setup. Would make it easier to hike or kayak with this set up. Yes, the lake is a glacial tarn, the remnant basin left behind when a glacier has retreated up the valley. The steep wall at the back of the tarn is called a bergschrund or backwall. It’s where the ice cuts almost vertically along with great height of the ice and snow. It’s not a moraine as someone else suggested which is somewhere down the valley - a heap of boulders that were carried down the valley and dumped there when the glacier melted. Fascinating stuff glaciers.

They definitely are fascinating, thanks for watching!

Good afternoon from America! Thanks for posting your video, it was very soothing to watch and I must say, what a tool that fishing setup you have is!

Beautiful location and fish mate. If you get chance, get yourself over to New Zealand. I never fished for trout back home, but when I moved here, there wasn't the traditional coarse fisheries I was used to, so I started trout fishing.

[@kiwi_comanche]

Chur brother.

[@simon-ec5kv]

Nice vid. Fly fishing suggestions if i may. 1. Fish the fly first to avoid spooking too many fish 2. If you get a follow don't be afraid to pause for a good few seconds then start retrieve again. They often come back 3. Vary the retrieve speed including very small sharp snatches 4. If you're getting lots of follows but no takes rotate through flies quickly 5. Always try dry fly first to a rising fish. No need to retrieve if the cast is good 6. You need to be stealthier around bank than lure fishing. Dark clothes. 7. Polarised glasses 8. Flies with frills and legs always good when you can't tell what they're feeding on 9. Leader least as long as rod

[@adventurefishinguk]

Some great advice there, thanks a lot I’ll definitely bare it in mind! I’ve got a lot of learning to do 👍

[@guyosborn615]

Good advice - I quite often use daddy long legs or caddis - easy to see, nice big mouthful (that is not matching the hatch but is a temptation for the fish to grab a big mouthful) and on rivers if you can't mend your line well, both chub and trout are used to things like caddis skittering on the surface and, because of the size, fish don't just sip but do a decisive take.

@AdventureFishingUK Yes, but in the late 90's. Last time I hiked up there was 2016 on a return visit to Wales. Didn't really look for long due to the company I was with. Out in Colorado where I live now we've got tons of high alpine lakes that are full of trout and char (brook trout and lake trout), plus the native cutthroat. Keep up the great videos! I miss the fishing adventures of my youth in Wales! Kinda miss the rain too 🤗

[@the_boonies]

@AdventureFishingUK Hit me up! I'm in Fort Collins north of Denver and 10mins from Poudre Canyon, excellent wild trout water with big Browns. When you head west up Hwy14 there's a lake called Chambers, that's where we Lake Trout fish after ice off. Big big fish lurk in there. Lots of wildlife in that area. We had our 1st wolf sighting back in May 😳 State Forest State Park has multiple high alpine lakes, one of which just got stocked with California Golden Trout. But they are tiny right now. When are you thinking of heading over to the US?

Nice video, and Thank you for posting. Reminds me when a couple of friends and i hiked a little over 8 miles to fish Horton lake in the Sierra Nevada U.S. The elevation was around 11,000 ' and the trout had small bodies but big normal sized heads, due to main diet being mosquito's . I was an inexperienced hiker, and i packed way too much weight going up, but the suffering was all worth it.

Great to see someone do this, nicely filmed. I always look at those kinds of lakes and think I'd love to fish them as they look so pretty, even if they hold underwhelmingly small browns mainly.

One of my Tenryu, Samurai or Gloomis rods and one or two of several Daiwas 1000's or recent Shimano Stella is what I'd bring. I'd generally have range of lures from Rapala minnows, Celtas, Tassie Devils to cover streams to lakes. Would be hard cutting down on gear to do a hike like that, always feel like I didn't bring enough of a selection.

Hey...nice video and intro to that bit of kit. As a mountain fly fisher I can certainly appreciate it. You cast better than a beginner, so definitely put a longer leader on! Or they'll get spooked. Also, try doing all your false casts to the side rather than to the same spot you're looking to cast. Or each false cast can also spook the trout 👍

Some good advice there thanks a lot for taking the time to comment! My short leader definitely didn't help

[@ryanwulf626]

How I dream to fish, one day, for sure! 😮😮❤❤😊

[@adventurefishinguk]

It's a beautiful place isn't it!

[@manko717]

Try Panther Martin, Melos. Also try a small piece of cut shrimp. Sounds crazy, but Trout love Shrimp

[@adventurefishinguk]

I had no idea they liked shrimp! Heard great things about the panther martins though

Looks like a moraine lake, impounded behind the leavings of a glacier.

[@adventurefishinguk]

I think it is, we call them corrie lakes 👍

[@troutfishingsco]

Stunning 👌🏼🎣🎣

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate!

[@Kingtrollface259]

There's cases in Wales where the monks put carp in ,i think as early as the 13th century ,and because of the location no one fishes it

[@adventurefishinguk]

Do you know any of these places?

[@Kingtrollface259]

It's called pant y llyn ,nearest town Builth Wells, 😉 ,its actually 1 miles from the nearest road and 1400 ft above sea level

[@Kingtrollface259]

Roath Park in Cardiff is worth a look too mate ,it's the daddy of park lakes and has a few 40s and many 30s in it ,aswell as pike

wild brownies like a bit of speed , if i get a follow i speed up with only a couple short sharp stops but more speed the better for the wee hill browns i find ! very nice lochan as we call em in scotland

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks for the advice I’ll definitely bare it in mind! I’d love to fish a few Scottish lochans one day 👍

[@Deekm69]

Wow you went that amazing walk/hike to to fish for real wild brown trout. I'd like to know who else has done it? Im from Scotland, you should see how many of these small Loch's are. We need a helicopter company to sponsor you 😂

[@adventurefishinguk]

Haha yeah I wouldn’t say no to a helicopter ride up to one! I’ve seen Scotland looks absolutely full of mountain lochs, hopefully I get the chance to explore some of them!
