First Day on the River Doon 2024

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Everyone, I'm sorry about the date in the video as it was the 21st of April not May as I was talking to the good lady about something we are doing on the 21st of May so I must have typed it in because of this well that's my excuse....Now I understand the comment left ,not to wish my life away🤣😂🤣 All the very best Davie..

[@mrchilds57]

Some beautifully conditioned fish for early season. I do like your smooth casting style; great angling

[@kiwi_comanche]

That strike on the March Brown was bananas. Fantastic!!!

[@G78.]

Great video Davie once the late evenings arrive the dry fly action should pick up lovely fish Just great to get out on the river Again thanks from Ireland

[@gerardnglavin6249]

Wow. Beautiful video Davie as always. ❤. Thanks for posting..

[@scottdavidson359]

Great to see you back out on the Doon, excellent footage as usual. The filming and fishing are brilliant, but it's your commentary thats educational,entertaining and quite often comical. I mean when you got the fly stuck in the tree and you said, I'm going up to get the fly I don't want to lose it. Are you running short on flies 😂 Thoroughly enjoyed. Cheers 👍

[@PiscatorUK-Fishing]

Good to see you out wetting the line. Stunning looking fish from the river👍tight lines

[@JohnShelton-mh9ns]

You’re the greatest Davie, thanks so much for sharing your videos… Love all styles of your KZbin post!

Will soon be fishing the Mother's Day caddis hatch here in Colorado. The sun is high and the water is warming. I'll be fishing the flies you taught me this winter. Thanks for all of your inspiration.

[@TroutSoup1]

Always nice to come with you for a full fish-along mate! Cheers from Colorado and come and see us sometime Davie

Hi Davie, the fish are beautiful in that river.

[@ruebdogg1]

Do you mean 21 April? Love the videos. I think your date was off. But your flies Davie are freakin' awesome!!

[@ross1458]

March Brown DH seems to work all the time for you. A true confidence fly.

[@Luggiefrank]

An enjoyable afternoons fishing Davie, the Clyde has been a bit slow due to the weather as well

[@TheRedShaddow]

Great Video ! Lovin it. Greetings from Germany 😊 what line do you fish ?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi @TheRedShaddow,, I was fishing with a Cadence CSM 4wt line, I have attached a link to them for you to see and I'm glad you enjoyed the video.. All the very best Davie www.cadencefishing.co.uk/product/cadence-csm-fly-line/

[@hopper1aoa15]

Great to see you back on the water....about time...

[@MichaelJ.Schwartz]

Davie really like that you showed on screen the flies you used Please keep that up so check your channel as to how you made them

[@martingutierrez5395]

Good one lost..great vid davie.

[@seanbarlow1719]

Nice to watch Davie. I don't feel too bad now having hooked my first trout on the 26th of March in the rain on the dry on the Alyn in North Wales. Not a lot of fun since until this week as the river has been pretty much back in spate since. April showers as you say. How much line do you have from the bend of the dry to the olive nymph?

[@krallmi48]

Nice day with you Davie. Mike

[@jamiewilliams1287]

What x is your tapered leader davie ? Also why do people use an extra 9 ft of tippet off a 9 ft tapered leader ? Is there any need for that ?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Jamie, I was using a 5x tapered leader which can easily be fished as it is though I like to add about 3 foot of a 5x or lighter tippet which will extend the life of the tapered leader..I will also at times tie on a length of tippet off the bend of the dry fly to fish a wet or weighted nymph in the dry dropper method when things are quiet as you may have saw me ding in some of my fishing videos... All the very best Davie..

[@guybaumgartner4244]

belle vidéo Davie cool

[@paulblackwildfishing8686]

Great watch Davie

[@ariveyn2755]

Hello Davie What type of fly line do you use? Which company ? The cord seems to be very supple!

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi @ariveyn2755, I am using a Cadence CSM fly line which is a great line as you can see in the video..I always used a Lee Wulff fly line in the past which I still like though the Cadence lines are very good...I have attached a link to it for you to see.. www.cadencefishing.co.uk/product/stevie-munn-fly-line-wf4f/ All the very best Davie

[@Paradise_found]

Davie do you have any info on the fulling mill Ti4 10’ fly rod cheers mate

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi @Paradise_found, I'm sorry I don't know their rods at all as I have never seen or used one, I wish I could have helped you.. All the very best Sadie

[@Paradise_found]

Ah that’s a pity I hoped you might have some knowledge of them because of your connection with them anyway thanks for your usual speedy reply love your videos davie keep them coming I appreciate your knowledge that you’re sharing with us regards Norrie

[@evilmothericebearkillerbir6016]

place like that even if i did not cach it would be worth the vew

[@TroutFlyFisher]

That right there is the main reason I go out. Enjoy the scenery, enjoy nature, and catching a fish is incidental.

[@JohnAmidon-c6r]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@attilathehamster6774]

It's not May yet, Davie. Stop wishing your life away.

[@brianshaheen1138]

I notice that you have really short drifts and I don't think i've ever seen you mend your line. Not judging, just different.

[@minimal_enthusiasm5971]

I have noticed that too!

[@brianshaheen1138]

@@minimal_enthusiasm5971 Superior flies make the difference.
