Fly Fishing on Loch Doon with Davie McPhail

[@daviddonaldson9811]

Excellent video! A lot of memories of some great times just came flooding back . The scenery, the atmosphere,the expectation of a rising trout.Thanks.😊.

[@sandrahaines9669]

Hi Davie Lovely to see such beautiful countryside. Like here in Tasmania the scenery is worth going fishing there are some places that the soul can rest in. Thanks for sharing your part of the world Lyndon

[@paulbridgers3820]

Amazing looking place, thanks for taking us along with you.

[@articgrayling1300]

Great casting (understatement) , the loch looks amazing with surrounding hills and scenery.

[@neilandrew961]

Brilliant again davie that's my type of fishing just walking along catching lovely wee brownies people don't realise how hard these wee trout fight harder than rainbows for their size

[@norman5202]

Davie what a lovely Loch you encourage me to fish our lakes now that the river season has finished. Tight lines from AUS

👌🏻👌🏻very beautiful location ..... thanks for the video ....... 🙏🏻🖤all the best from switzerland

[@durhamranger988]

Very enjoyable video. Nice change from seeing you on the river. Perhaps we’ll see you fishing from a boat next time?

[@WSFScotland]

Lovely seeing loch Doon again! I caught my first char there when I was about 10. Nice to see you are still enjoying the cadence rod! I have been using the same 4wt for my fishing in Austria and so far I'm blown away by it. It handles big fish just as well as small ones 😉.

That's Loch Doon added to my list of places to visit, beautiful location! Gonna be tricky getting there without a car from Glasgow! lol

[@comesahorseman]

👍👍 Thanks for the trip, Davie!

[@RobertFernie]

Lovely setting. Out in the boat next time please I'll even come down and ghillie you. :)

Good video thans again

[@alymcgill6476]

That looked like a nice fish you missed when you were talk about the wee besties ?

[@paulblackwildfishing8686]

Brilliant🙌

[@krallmi48]

Thanks for the day, Davie... You mentioned you weren't casting far. Would you say how far that is, and what distance if your rod were a #5 or #6 and the water wanted more distance? Mike

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Mike, I was fishing around 15 yards plus which I feel is far enough to fish the water I was fishing but it was in my view far enough that the rod wasn't under any pressure as it's a rod suited for fishing the river rather than a loch..I would say a 9 1/2 foot or 10 foot 5# or even a 6# would have been better and would easily cast 20 yards plus and strong enough to set the hook at distance..Great question.. All the very best Davie

@@DavieMcPhail I'm glad you liked the question, Davie... I sure liked the answer... =] Mike

[@cameronstevenson5894]

Love your vids

[@gizmocarr3093]

I would think there is a few large Brown Trout lurking it the the Loch too. I would likely suspect some big enough to swallow smaller ones, along with a few Big Pike too. Does the River Doon flow into and out of the Loch? Could Salmon be in the Loch by any chance?🐳🙂

[@MyPancho1]

More fishing At the Loch !! Thanks Davie

[@steveg8322]

Even with the wind in your favor,I swear it enjoys bedeviling your hookset!🌬️

[@craig3917]

Hi Davy , what type of line are you using ? Floating ? Sinking ? Going to fish here soon and looking for some tips , thank you

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Craig, I use a floating line, if you use a sinking line you will just get stuck on rocks...Good luck and I hope you have a good day.. All the very best Davie

[@craig3917]

@@DavieMcPhail thanks for the reply Davy and advice that's appreciated , tight lines mate 🎣

[@shimnaman]

Did I hear you say that you were fishing a leatherman at one stage? Would that be a cdc beetle?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi @shimnaman, I did mention the Leatherman which was the fly I was rising most of the fish to so I have attached a link to the fly I was using..The original fly was tyed by a gentleman called Tommy Solberg and if you do a search on KZbin you will see him tye the original fly..kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXm8XqVrpNt3nck All the very best Davie

[@pauljacobsen3777]

Beautiful casting rod Davie....what make and model is that, please? I am looking for a new moderate action rod after breaking my 30 yr old Sage RPL 5Wt.

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Paul, I used the 9ft 4# which is a great rod though the 5# would have been a great choice as well so I have attached a link to the Cadence rods that I use for you to have a look at. www.cadencefishing.co.uk/product-category/fly-fishing/single-handed-rods/ All the very best Davie

[@au46tro9]

If you want to catch big trout. Try from dusk to dawn. The big trouts are nocturnal.

[@k24_4twenty]

Small brownies but they put up a decent fight
