Nice video. I like the fly graphics etc. after watching this i just bought some Duo Klinks and Caddis from fulling mill. Have you ever used them for sewin or salmon ?

[@capturedonline]

Thanks Mark! I’ve caught sewin and salmon nymphing, but not using the Duo method - yet!

I would give you the big fish, it touched the net. Just a shame we couldn't see it for the camera 😂!

[@capturedonline]

That’s very kind of you Mike! Until I saw the footage in slo-mo, I didn’t realise just how close it was 😂

[@mikerobinson2762]

@capturedonline That fish was yours old boy. Around a pound and a half or more.

Born and raised within 200 yards of the Tawe at Pontardawe. Fished it to death as a teenager and into my mid 20s. Caught hundreds of brown trout but nothing as big as that one you lost. It can be a very frustrating river and there can be a lot of disturbance as it runs through those built-up areas especially as the road is much closer now than it was back in the 1970s and 80s. Great video, must buy a day ticket to see if my old favourites still work!👍

@@RichardWilliams-uz7vo thanks Richard for the feedback. Sounds like you’ve had lots of fun on this river, I’m glad the video has inspired you to fish it again. Tightlines!

[@waynebeddoes7066]

Lucky you got a hat on. Don’t want to burn that swede 😂

[@capturedonline]

Lol. Get those waders on - you know you want to!
