Great video - I love watching all your videos. Even if you don't catch, it's just great to be out on the water. 😍

thanks. The positive feed back is appreciated

That first flea looks like a variant of a rogans gadget ;)

[@afishermansdiarywithiainup5377]

ok thanks for letting me know. I dont know that many flies. I bought the box a while ago and am still learning the names of lots of them

[@colinmurray6197]

Lovely day to be on the river. Generally for spring fishing try black and yellow flies fished deep and slow.

[@afishermansdiarywithiainup5377]

ok thanks for the tip. Will try it out

[@Gamefishing111]

For spring fishing generally choose a river that’s had or has spring fish in it,,lived and fished in Ayrshire for 40 years and never ever heard of anyone getting a fish in feb or march out the ayr

@@Gamefishing111 there should be the odd fish running. Later in the year is better for sure. Just nice to be out though to be fair

Aye always good to get out I fished the girvan for years if you can get on at blairqhan they get fish in April on well kept secret the fish stop there first

[@afishermansdiarywithiainup5377]

@@Gamefishing111 never fished the Girvan. Always thought it looked good

Cracking day Iain and the river was perfect apart from no fish !

[@afishermansdiarywithiainup5377]

Cheers. Yes sadly no fish but that is a common theme these days. Not to worry still nice to be by the water and when you do get a fish it makes it all the more special

[@lesdundas4869]

how many pounds for a day ticket

[@afishermansdiarywithiainup5377]

you can get a day ticket in the Annbank shop for 25 quid. That allows you to fish for Salmon Catch and release. you can also fish for Brown trout and Grayling. Hope that helps

[@BillysOilShack]

Annbank?

[@afishermansdiarywithiainup5377]

Annbank club water

[@BillysOilShack]

@@afishermansdiarywithiainup5377 fished it two weeks ago on a Saturday. Got a day ticket from the shop. Great to be out but little chance of a fish.

[@afishermansdiarywithiainup5377]

@@BillysOilShackits a lovely water and as you say nice to be out. Still a chance of a spring fish but not like it used to be
