Giant Fish was So Close to my Feet

Graeme picks up his fly rod and heads in the direction of Dever Springs for a few hours of fly casting. The weed had recently been cut in the lake so he figured it would give him a chance of spotting where any bigger fish were..but the occupants were in a different mood with warmer water temperatures making them a bit picky. After several fly changes and staring through the water he finally struck lucky and hooked a big one virtually under his feet! Then he moves to the larger lake where he latches into another fish. The film is filled with trouty tips that might help you pick up the extra fish or two . He drives down to a Somerset Country show where he spots a rare contraption that is operated totally by the feet yet seems to cut through wood? Sounds like you had better watch the film to find out.

Been missing the fly videos Graeme! Theres next to no Carp etc near me (north east Scotland). Glad you had a good session!

[@cameroncameron2826]

Thank you Professor.

[@flamintasty]

TA Fishing leading from the front!! Great video, never the same thing twice. Unlike some channels that churn out the same content, video after video. Graeme is a proper, all round fisherman. The only things I haven’t seen him catching, are piranha and whales 😂

[@cliveeariss880]

That's such a cool reply, could not agree more.

[@alexiaalex9442]

He just churns out Watmore farm, Dever for dopey commercial fly angling, Bury Hill and finch farm... It's like tasting like warm ginger beer.. A bit crap really..

[@Codeagles1]

I bet he does more than you Alex and he's 70 years old.

[@freddyoutdoors]

Really enjoyed watching you defo got the trout hooked ho yeah

[@chrisprobert6]

Awesome as always 👍😊 That guy's fretsaw made me laff... big end gone methinks😅

[@jonathanluce9130]

Great tips for the fly-fishing, don't worry about changing your batteries next time, we can wait until you have it in the net Graeme.

[@WolfmanWoody]

The engine in the old road roller was made by Blackstones, as you said. They (Mirrlees Blackstones when I knew them) were one of the big three employers in Stamford, Lincolnshire. I worked for a while at one of the others, Fiat Allis, although we were out of town in Essendine. Be nice to see that old engine restored.

[@TAFishing]

It was actually running I think,just as I was leaving. I guess it had to be running,otherwise it would just be in the field !.Silly me !

[@nobodysperfect1049]

Hi Graeme I believe that’s my old fishing partner Tony’s reel that I donated to the channel along with his fly collection etc….as you may remember Tony passed away far too young but I’m glad it’s still being used he’d be so pleased

[@Fishersam89]

Awesome toatly awesome, love it what a great video seeing your mate reel still being used and by another legend 🙏.

[@TAFishing]

Could well be the reel you sent and I do like the fly line it was obviously good quality .Its my go-to reel now,mostly because I like using the line,but at least you can see it being used .I don't know what make the line is,or the weight etc.

[@kingrafa3938]

Thanks for the vid Graeme!

[@TAFishing]

No probs,currently working on the next one right now...hope I can get it done in time for Friday as I quite fancy Catfishing tomorrow afternoon.

[@robertcotton9091]

Very enjoyable and interesting to watch, thanks so much for sharing Sir :)

[@ShaunUnderwoodx]

I love the underwater footage with your GoPro camera it's just fascinates me I wonder whether you could actually use some sort of boat sauna for normal type fishing.. basically drop your float into the water stick a camera next to it and wait and see what happens at least you've got a good heads up when a fish approaches your bait. I love experimenting most of the time it's a failure but some of the of the time I even amazing .yself . That water is beautiful it's crystal clear.. if by any chance you're reading this Graeme, have you ever fished in or around the Swale in North Yorkshire. It's why I message you asking for tips it's a very fast turbulent river and today with all the rain we've had the banks have swelled flooded and the river is looking more like a river again through Richmond where once before it was 12 in deep in pots but 10 ft deep in pools.. now it looks like something out of Alaska today.. the current is so fast it's just basically impossible to do any real good fishing other than fly

[@cliveeariss880]

Lovely Rainbow trout mate, I've only been fly-fishing once, first cast 3/4lb and later a 5lb trout, beginners luck, all the best Graeme.

[@TAFishing]

I'll take luck over skill every day.

[@ShaunUnderwoodx]

The principles of fly I'm still learning.. however, in cars fishing they tell you not to stand where the fish can possibly see you but yet here we are standing blatantly right in front of the fish and fish are not stupid... I love everything about fly fishing it is so graceful... I love lure fishing because it's more. You're more active than sitting there watching floats endlessly waiting for it to go under the water or out of the water.. I have fellow fishermen who go to Richmond in Yorkshire who are participating in fly fishing and it is so awesome to watch them as the the fishing line hits the sunlight it just looks so fabulous just watching them waist deep in Richmond river Swale.. yeah everything you don't do more or less when cars fishing it seems you keep doing while on the fly... But clearly if you can see the fish the fish can clearly.. polarised glasses are good but they certainly don't make you invisible 🫥. Graham you are a scholar and a gentleman even though you don't reply back to my Instagram 😊 asking for advice. Keep teaching us

[@63melvyn]

I’ve been lucky enough to fish Dever a few times the fish are superb condition as is the ground , 2 ponds from memory

[@waynethompson8416]

Graeme, I was so very happy to see you catch the one that you did catch. I don't suppose you have a video of your cooking it do you?

[@newsmonger77]

Could have given that Don's Fibretube fly rod an airing?

[@frogfoot6218]

taste as good as he looked 👍 great vid as normal

[@gkeyman565]

Nice catch, it takes patients ... maybe you can find a polarizing filter to attach to your camera. have a great day

[@edhaworth8151]

The last few times I’ve been to Dever it has been so busy, the water is absolutely thrashed. I’ve lost my taste for catch and kill fisheries really - don’t like the taste of stocked trout

[@Slikx666]

I'll send you the mosquito that bit me if I can find it, maybe it'll make a good fly. I gave it a headache and flicked it off, where I can only guess. 🤔

[@markward8216]

Those drive belts you can still buy a similar type called Brammer N,U,T link

🦟🦟I've never tried fly fishing 🦟🦟
