How to CATCH big brown trout ( from a drifting boat )

[@michaelrutherford5138]

Great video lindsey, some cracking browns. Your and Steve advice and tactics are good to know. Thanks🎣

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Thanks for watching!

[@michaelshaw8370]

The only thing more satisfying than a good rainbow or brownie in the landing net. Is watching them swimming back down to the depths. Ready to fight another day. A single fish deserves the chance to bring joy to many over several seasons. It is as the saying goes. Give a man a fish he eats for one day. Teach a man to fish. He for hours at a time for many years. Has peace from the family.

Cracking video. Pitsford seems to be getting quite the rep for high quality grown on brown trout. Steve is quite the fishing machine, love his approach to his fishing

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Totally agree

[@MrMartinzx13]

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Gary, the lunch was provided by Steve and very nice it was ;-)

[@PeterFinnis]

Excellent video. Some real beauties there

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Many thanks!

[@davidfraser4083]

Superb video and information thanks Lindsay. I'll certainly be trying this method next time I'm out. Cheers Big Davie

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Might work really well at the cage area of Menteith?

[@jimflynn466]

Lindsay you are one lucky bu**er, being able to fish all these excellent fisheries reasonably near you, staying in the Central Belt of Scotland, I’ve got to travel a fair distance north to fish the Assynt Lochs, the only place near hand is Loch Leven but it’s difficult to get a boat these days. Keep enjoying your fishing mate. Regards Jimf

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Aye Jim, I count my lucky stars ✨

[@richardpm38]

very good video, really enjoyed it thanks from a fellow Scot

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Glad you enjoyed it Richard, thanks for watching.

[@joeduca8582]

Awesome fish Lindsay. I've been through one of those "hairy" causeways before, glad the water wasn't any higher, lol. Thanks for the trip!

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Thanks for watching Joe!

[@Jan007524]

Awesome brownies!!!!!

[@lindsayiflyfish]

They were stunning!

[@trevorluft8161]

Excellent, would like to see some small water instructions from you and Steve.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Noted!

[@Mark-dn9xw]

Cracking video 👌🏻

Cracking video boys 👍

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Thanks Jamie.

[@jugman80]

Great vid

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Thanks pal.

[@davidwillacy4796]

Wonderful video Lindsay, liked especially the descriptions of techniques and how it can be hard work but can also be extremely rewarding. How would you rate Pitsford as opposed to say draycote or Rutland. Cheers, English Dave.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Glad you enjoyed it! They all have their day pal but I think it is hard to compare any where with Rutland.

[@darrenscott6158]

Excellent video guy's, missed not getting down the yearly trip for they fellas at Rutland. Are yous fishing 2 shuggys,and how far apart do yous fish them. Cheers

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Yes we were, a white one on the top dropper and a black one 10' behind it.

[@darrenscott6158]

@@lindsayiflyfish thank mate,always good to get a wee bit of info for fishing they down south waters. Enjoying your videos good watching,keep them coming 👌🎣

[@lindsayiflyfish]

@@darrenscott6158 Will do buddy.

[@rogerhurren5602]

Hi Lindsay, you mentioned that Steve had a double hook up. What sort of leader construction and separation of the droppers were you using? Were you using different flys on the dropper/s?

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Steve was using 12lb breaking strain 7-8' of tippet to the first fly then 12-13' between flies. Two Humungus patterns different colours silver and gold I believe. hope that helps. I will be tying a Humungus variation on Tuesdays Stillwater pattern. Hope that helps buddy.

[@rogerhurren5602]

Thanks Lindsay, that set up makes sense.

[@I.have.an.std.]

Good video are these browns Wild or stocked

[@lindsayiflyfish]

I suspect they were stocked at some point, but have grown on over a number of years.

[@kerrypitt9789]

The Big Browns we've caught in a lake, were caught after midnight when it finally got dark. In the country we fish, any heavy breathing in the dark had best be your fishing partner and not something bigger looking for lunch!

[@lindsayiflyfish]

The big Brown trout usually make an appearance early and late in the season. Not sure where they go in-between.

[@tinkywinky402]

You're making me jealous. No such boat fishing here.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Sorry to hear that pal, just stick with the rivers.

[@michaelshaw8370]

One look into the eyes of those brownies pure predators

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Great fun but you have to be patient.

[@michaelshaw8370]

@@lindsayiflyfish big brownies in that environment makes the rainbows as fit as they are seem like comparing a six inch grayling to a fresh run sea trout. Skill set tackle and approach are soo different. On the last season that Bakethin above Kielder was open I was on a boat with a friend from High Spen caught a silver brown trout. Fin perfect less than two pounds. The most beautiful fish I had ever seen. Like a bar of liquid mercury. It had to be a wild spawned fish. One of four I was blessed catching and safely returned from there that season. Most were less than one and a half pounds. Ole fool with a few good memories
