I tried nymphing for the first time today and caught a lovely brown trout on a little gold beaded gold nymph, only ever used dry flies so tried putting all the little tips and lessons I've learned from watching both of you's and it worked, I never even put a dry fly back on all day so thank you very much as it's a new weapon to my fishing arsenal

Hi Andy With moving away from the Midlands and huge changes in my life it’s been a while since I’ve even thought about trout fishing but in the middle of Cornwall I’ve found a amazing river with some beautiful tiny bars of gold but I’ve tried everything to catch one apart from using tiny mepps I’ve had no look on fly this video clearly shows the need for stealthy fishing hope you both well regards Dave

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Absolutely, using a bit of stealth can be vital 👍👍

Brilliant vid, Andy! Wonderful scenery and great, challenging fishing. Thanks

[@IBandAndyFishing]

thanks bud, much appreciated!

[@thefeatherchucker]

Loved this. Watched it after being at the lathkill myself today. That horrible rain didn’t stop the fish hammering the mayfly that was hatching. Lost three in a hour until it dried up and the risers began to stop. Will be taking a longer rod and leader next time I’m there!

[@IBandAndyFishing]

They've definitely got on the mayflies earlier on here than the other rivers haven't they? Many thanks for watching and tight lines!

[@steveshannon7441]

A lovely video Andy - really enjoyed - I fish the Lathkill further upstream than this - it isn't as secluded as this beat looks to be so we have to be a bit choosy on when we fish but it is delightful fishing albeit challenging - If you get back to Hampshire again I can highly recommend Beat 3 on the Dever at Bullington downstream from where you fished - hut at top of the beat and a path through woodland to the bottom - not sure if I posted that on your chalkstream series - I definitely agree that a stealthy approach with accurate delicate casting is essential on these type of waters - more important I think than the actual pattern (within reason of course) - Thanks - Steve.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Hi Steve, thanks for watching! I've not seen all of the river further up, does it look similar to this? We might possibly go back down to the chalk this summer, we're not sure yet, if we do we'll check out that beat. I think delicate is absolutely the word, approach, delivery, false casting - it's all got to be delicate - there were plenty of times I wasn't!

[@steveshannon7441]

@@IBandAndyFishing - Hi Andy - I fish the stretch upstream of Conksbury Bridge and we go up as far as the source through the Dale - the stretch upstream of the bridge is similar but there are numerous weirs installed years ago which keep the depth of the river fishable - the further you go up the narrower and "smaller" the river becomes - some members have fished Tenkara tactics there but I have kept to the weir section which is dry fly only - public footpaths near to the river hence the need to be a bit choosy on times and it became virtually unfishable last summer due to picnickers and swimmers / boaters in the daytime limiting us to the last hour or so of daylight - or early morning before others turned up - as an aside the amount of litter left last summer was disgraceful and the parking so inconsiderate - the river actually goes underground at low water levels further upstream - I remember a school visit to the area on that subject - Simon C. is the man to advise on chalkstreams - I have Bullington booked in September rolled over from last year - and Dunbridge which is a lovely tributary of the Test near Stockbridge - September is a good month as it is that bit cooler and plenty of fly life still - Tight Lines - Steve.

[@Thymallus1965]

Thank you for another fine video from the lovely Derbyshire. Cheers Torben, DK

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Thanks Torben, really glad you enjoyed it! How's DK fishing so far this season?

[@Thymallus1965]

Hi Andy - unfortunately DK's small rivers and lakes are suffering from comorants great skills in catching fish. The grayling is near extinct and the brown trout not far behind. So I have given up on fishing the rivers in DK and only flyfish during my summer trips to Norway and Sweden. That said there is still the seatrout, but when you like dryfly and nymphing it's not the same. Do visit Derbyshire Wye from time to time - English married with family in Alfreton :-) So your an IB's trips in the area are greatly appriciated - and I might be just a tad jealous. Cheers and keep up the good fishing :-)

[@IBandAndyFishing]

That's a real shame about the DK rivers, I didn't realise the cormorants had gotten so bad there. Hopefully when the world goes back to normal you can spend some more time over here!

[@Thymallus1965]

DK very unfortunately is the winter destination for most of Scandinavias cormnorants during the winter. But we have some 30.000 breeding pairs eating ½ kg fish each day. Have seen the at reservoirs around Alfreton, so fingers crossed they don't get the taste for rivers !! However, the Swedish and Finnish Baltic coast suffers heavyly as well (and with seals as well) and cormorants have started entering some of the Norwegian lake systems. So count you self very lucky for your rivers. (Mostly our visits are Xmas time...)

Love the video and Andy presentation of the river tactics spot on.

[@andrewbowen8122]

I know where you’re coming from but it’s also quite subjective, since a day out at a football match isn’t exactly cheap nowadays.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Hi Goldtremor, yeah, I didn't mention cost because most folks can't get on here anyway, it isn't a day ticket water as such. As Andrew says below, compared to a decent seat at a football match or a night at the theatre it's comparative cost and plenty of average folks do those things every weekend. With the Lathkill the quality of the fishing drives the demand and the demand drives the price, and the estate are sensitive with it, it doesn't get fished very often either. It's a pretty unique situation

[@IBandAndyFishing]

good point well made Andrew, plenty of average folk spend that every weekend on booze, football, shopping, theatre tickets etc....

[@musicguyrml]

Please can you do some beginners' guides to river trout fishing? I'm sure I am not alone in wanting to transition from still-water fishing to a wilder version of the sport in this post lockdown era.

[@tomhammerton4420]

Nice work Andy, it looked like some very challenging fishing. It certainly shows the value of patience. How do you get such long leaders with such small flies on the end to unfurl? When I try that it just ends up in a big pile a few feet off the end of my fly line.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

A relatively heavy line, a furled leader, tapered tippet. Shorter stroke lengths and longer pauses, you'll be amazed at what you can turn over!

[@andrewbowen8122]

Looks like early April, never mind late May. It’s the same in Lancashire but last week I traveled down to the Clywd valley to Foxens tackle shop and what a difference the whole place was about a month further on.

Interesting comment that, the weed growth here is really healthy and the water free of phosphates end fertilizer, as far as I'm aware the weed isn't managed like on a southern chalkstream.

the cost of river fly fishing is a debate which will rumble on for a while I think.
