Brown Trout on Custom Patterns

A blast of creativity to upcycle a few Savage gear patterns.
They caught fish, but this particular venue was having none of it 😏
Rousay 2024 ends in a puddle!

Nice, home made lures could be a good winter project. I've still got some old wooden, hand painted Devon minnows that I was given as a boy. I'm tying flies already as it's grim now

I used a spray enamel (clear coat) it seems to hold up not too bad, it's all kinda trial and error at this stage, just to see what works 👍🏻

Great video Was planning on painting a few german sprats this winter and learning to tie flies. What colours are good for the autumn and winter do you think ???

[@povfishingorkney]

I have discovered that most of my bigger fish have taken pink and white in the colder darker months and more natural patterns in the warmer months (spring/summer) I've also noticed that different waters/weather do better with different patterns. General rule of thumb seems to be white though.

@@povfishingorkney do you find trout jump around a lot. I lost so many fish this summer on Tobys even with extra split rings. I have started burying the rod low near water last few hook ups and seems to be stopping them from jumping all over the place. I was always told keep the rod high but hasnt worked very well. I am starting back after 15 years from fishing and i am rusty anyway. Thanks for the videos and the advice

@horsemanoftheapocalapse5837 Have a look at our video "Net em All" on this channel. Me and Alex predominantly use "line through " lures and find the landing rate a good 90% better than fixed lures.

@@povfishingorkney thanks for that i will study that video. Landed a lovely fish yesterday . Set the hook Gave the fish line and buried the rod took plenty of time to tire fish. The fish jumped once but i gave it a bit of line so the fish had no leverage on the toby.
