Catch More Trout This Winter (lures, how to make the most of them)

Here is an essential guide to making the most of the winter fishing that we possess here in the United Kingdom on our stillwaters.
Lures are an essential part of our armory, but which ones?
In this video, I will talk you through fish location, fly patterns, line choice, and retrieves so that you can capitalize on the cold water sport we have on our doorsteps!

Really enjoyed that mate. Great for those starting out. Being able to see the close up of the retrieve. You must have some good young blood running through your body. My hands would have been dropping off. Was out last week, after 20mins I could not bend my fingers. Really well edited video, Great stuff Steve. Take care. Shaun.

Gent, 51 now and arthritis in my rod hand, still can’t do gloves!😮

Great video, Steve! I’m fairly new to the small stillwater thing and this sort of thing is fantastic. Slightly different question, which sunglasses are you using? I recently crushed my Costas and am needing a new pair 😬

[@cameronstevenson5894]

When you hooked that fish why is it important to point the rod down that 2nd fish was class stalking

[@stevecullenflyfishingflyty7729]

I feel the fish can be brought in quicker this way pal!

[@cameronstevenson5894]

@@stevecullenflyfishingflyty7729 ahh ok thanks for replying love your channel im just new to fly fishing and loving it winter has come at the wrong time for me

Curious about your choice of a 7-wt rod. I reserve mine for steelhead and salmon, and would likely go down to a 5-wt for rainbows. What advantages do you see for going with the heavier 7-wt. (PS - Delighted to see you using our locally-built Sage, my go-to brand.)

[@patches152]

i'm a 7wt user also, i opted for the heavier rod for casting in the wind and find it fights the larger stillwater fish more effectively. i use my same stillwater rod for steelhead nymphing out west so it acts as a nice crossover. i've even targeted smaller stripers in the california delta with it too.

[@stevecullenflyfishingflyty7729]

Just standard for the size of flies we use buddy!

[@user-dt7fq8fi5h]

Hi steve thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all. How long is the leader your using ? Thanks in advance and merry Christmas.

[@stevecullenflyfishingflyty7729]

18ft on that one pal

[@derekcunningham9993]

Great vid, thanks. Inoticed you had your rod tip in the water when retrieving. Is there a reason for that?

[@stevecullenflyfishingflyty7729]

A more direct contact, I try and alleviate slack line when lure fishing

[@mickscully5231]

What size tungsten bead do you use on your flies

[@Jan007524]

Nice vid Steve. What do you prefer to use in the winter, silver/gold or both types pf tungsten beads?

[@stevecullenflyfishingflyty7729]

Gold and copper, I reserve silver for the river
