Fly fishing for Brown Trout on the river Ayr

Fly fishing for Brown trout on the river Ayr. lovely day to be out. Water was in good order. Caught a Grayling

Well done Iain, great to be 'out on the river' with you again. That grayling really wanted the fly, I was sure it was a 3lb trout when it took!!. Cheers and tight lines for the new season, best of luck Peter.

Thanks Peter. It was a strong take its true. I thought it was a bigger fish aswell till I got it to the net

Be more positive 👍your doing ok .and as you say it's a day out .

[@afishermansdiarywithiainup5377]

I do try to be but sometimes its disheartening

[@davidmathieson4280]

fish upstream with dries or spiders you will do much better

[@afishermansdiarywithiainup5377]

will give it a go

Iain what wading staff are you using I need to get one not too steady on my feet excellent vlogs

[@afishermansdiarywithiainup5377]

Im sorry I dont know the name. I bought it second hand about 5 years ago off someone when I got a full salmon fly fishing set up.

What is best wood or a telescopic

[@afishermansdiarywithiainup5377]

@@barbcoll100 That one in the video is metal but quite heavy. you can make your own with wood and a bit of lead on the bottom but I would think a metal one would be better. ive seen metal folding ones that look good. just needs a bit of weight to it

[@afishermansdiarywithiainup5377]

glad you enjoy the vlogs. just a bit of fun

Isn't there like a closed season now?

[@afishermansdiarywithiainup5377]

The brown trout season is closed from end september to middle of march here in Scotland. There is no closed season for grayling on the river Ayr. Although I was fishing for brown trout
