Live On The Luther. Scottish Small Stream Fly Fishing

[@FraserCheyne]

My family came from around there and I fished it around 1985 and caught a couple at half a pound. Never complain about salmon parr mate, they're gold dust down here in irvine.

Just joined the club , fished this stretch first outing with similar results , fished many streams and rivers in Britain and Ireland over the years but like you thoroughly enjoyed nymphing on this wee river and the Bervie , now 73 so share your exhaustion but well worth the effort , great video thanks, John.

[@wildfisher]

It's hard going John, but worth the effort! 👍

[@cahillp3]

I lived on Montrose for a time. I’m back home in Ireland but I loved exploring the esk, Bervie, Dee, Don rivers. I miss watching the pink foot landing in the estuary.

[@wildfisher]

Thanks for you comment. Yes it's a lovely area for sure. 😊

[@robertgreen5217]

Looks a lovely wee river great video as usual 👍

[@wildfisher]

Thanks, it is a nice water as is The Bervie just along the road. Both are hard going for an auld man though. With the season end looming I'm just getting out as often as I can now. 😊

Smashing wee burn,love fishing the burns,raining here at the moment ,might get a go in one of my favourite burns tomorrow, I am old like yourself,always done the wild fishing,it's hard going now,but it's still worth the effort,good wee videos,cheers.

[@wildfisher]

Thanks Douglas, get out when you can and take care. It's not easy for us auld yins! 😃

[@time2shinehomestead498]

What a nice place and great video

[@wildfisher]

Thanks for your comment. 👍

Stu's bouyant pogo nymphs?...maybe a rig set up from your travels to New Zealand Fred with a sheep's wool indicator ?...and beaded point/tail fly?...thanks for yet another very watchable and enjoyable video ...many thanks for sharing...love your videos, I always learn something new

[@wildfisher]

That's exactly the setup I was using TK. Stu's pogo nymph is a great fish catcher. 😊

[@Tjk186]

Thanks for your reply Fred...I look forward to a trip back down to NZ at some stage...amazing country / people and the trout fishing is not too shabby either :)

[@wildfisher]

I'd love to get back there to TK, I think it might be a while yet though.

[@roberthouse2329]

Just love your videos. They get better and better.Good filming and great voice over.please keep going

[@wildfisher]

Thanks Robert it's great you enjoy them. What you see is what you get, just me catching mostly small trout and taking nonsense. 😂 Not long until the season ends now so there will be less scope for videos quite soon. I'm just getting out now when I can and hope people don't get bored with it all.

[@roberthouse2329]

@@wildfisher Hi sorry don't know your name. I fish the Derbyshire Derwent wild and stocked fish.However I enjoy getting out it keeps you feeling young.

[@wildfisher]

@@roberthouse2329 The name is Fred. There are not many of us left. 😂 I always fancied a cast on the famous Derbyshire Wye, but I guess a day there would get me several seasons on several rivers up here. 😊

[@roberthouse2329]

@@wildfisher Hi Fred you would always be welcome to fish with me on the Derwent. I am a member of Cromford fly fishers. The Wye is expensive and dry fly only.

[@wildfisher]

@@roberthouse2329 Thanks Robert. Once all this covid hassle is over I may well do that. I had heard The Wye was a bit exclusive and dry fly only. One day perhaps! 😊

[@flyfishingchannel]

Beautiful!

[@andrewtownsley9428]

Another good video buddy

[@wildfisher]

Thank you. 😊😊

[@fieldsman3307]

Nice video and nice water shame the fish took a day off but it happens.

[@wildfisher]

Yes it was slow. It all had a real end of season feel to it.

[@flyfishingchannel]

Great video!

[@wildfisher]

Thanks for your comment. 👍

[@chrismatthewsflyfishing7724]

Many thanks for the mention, much appreciated. Keep up the great work. Yours are also the sort of fishing videos I prefer, calm and relaxed just like I'm there fishing those rivers with you. Just need to work on my audio quality, maybe a camera upgrade over the winter.

[@wildfisher]

Thanks Chris. I just use a Gopro Hero 7 Black and either my Sony AX53 or Nikon Z6 for the establishing shots. I shoot mostly in 1080 HD, have tried 4K once or twice but the advantages are not massive, the files are huge. 4K makes my computer creak a bit too.

[@chrismatthewsflyfishing7724]

I see the new Gopro 10 has 5.3k! I'll have to put a bank of computers in the basement 😀 1080 hd is more manageable on my current laptop.

[@wildfisher]

@@chrismatthewsflyfishing7724 Yeah I'm sticking with 1080 for now. To be honest so many view these videos on phones 4K makes no difference.

[@philpetrie]

High Fred , stupid question from a non-fisherman , is there a reason why you do not use polarising glasses to cut through the glare ?

[@wildfisher]

Not a stupid question at al Phil. I do use polarising clip ons that fit on my regular specs but they are limited. The real problem is the reflection of the white sky on the water.

[@billcartwright9581]

hi are you fishing lunan water the reason l ask is because when l was a child we used to stay at north mains of ethie with my mums sister and her husband on a dairy farm and when we went to beach their used to be salmon traps on beach i am now 66

[@wildfisher]

Hi Bill, yes I have been fishing the Lunan and have posted a few videos. 😊

[@alexanderjoyce3305]

Enjoy the minimalism of your videos and the purity of wild fishing. What rod and reel set-up are you using?

[@wildfisher]

Thanks. 😊The setup that day was my standard - Sage ZXL 9 foot #4 WT, Vosseler DC3 reel and a Scientific Anglers GPX taper floating line.

[@tussk.]

do you use the same rod for drys and nymphs?

[@wildfisher]

Yeah, too much hassle carrying more than one rod. 👍

[@tussk.]

@@wildfisher i used to carry an 9ft and an 11ft for switching between the two, before i realised that each does the others job just as well. i just dont like goldheads chipping the finish off my Hardy so i rarely use wets. plus Im too lazy nowdays.

[@wildfisher]

@@tussk. Nymphing in those fast runs is hard work! 😂

[@billcartwright9581]

my mum was born in ythanwells do you of this place

[@wildfisher]

Yes I know it. It's north of Aberdeen up towards Huntly.
