Mid May in the Westcountry

A days flyfishing on a Westcountry stream.
I also talk a little about the flies that I use and leader set-up.
The rivers are all running pretty low, but there are a few fly about and the fish are looking up.
Mid-May is a lovely time to be on the river.

Inspiring Luke, thank you. I’m fishing the Wylye for the first time next week and your 10ft 4wt will be first to hand.

[@bannisterrods]

Thanks Warren, the Wylye is a lovely river hope you have a good trip, it's stunning this time of year.

[@karlnoonan5597]

Wonderfully atmospheric video, Luke, thank you. Appreciated the info on your rig as well.

[@bannisterrods]

Thanks Karl, glad you found it useful. Hope your season is going well.

Great video , always good to get a rundown of the flies and setup.👍

[@bannisterrods]

Thank you Robert. I'll start giving a bit more info in the videos as I do get asked.

Thank You.

Always a pleasure to see you out on the river again Luke. Thanks for taking the time and effort to keep us entertained. I liked the sparkle dun but what material did you use for the body if you don't mind me asking?

[@bannisterrods]

Thank you Peter, I enjoy doing the videos, helps (makes) me slow down a bit when I'm fishing, which seem to help with the catch rate..the body dubbing is some stuff called Arizona Simi seal, its from the states. It's nice stuff.

I enjoyed that as usual Luke, thank you. so different from where I fished yesterday morning. The little stream below St Veron, a torrent ! The highest village in Europe apparently. Fished the duo, they ignored the dry but got a brace on the dropper, a copper John, happy days. I'm looking forward to getting back to blighty and back on the small streams in Wales. All the best Luke.

[@bannisterrods]

Thank You. Sounds like an interesting stream, and certinaly in stunning surroundings, glad you picked up a few fish.

[@fieldsman3307]

Another good video and the information about set up is very useful, envy you the west country streams.

[@bannisterrods]

Thank you. A few people have asked for more info about set up etc, so I'll probably do a bit more talking... we've got some lovely water down here, a bit of rain wouldn't go amiss though.

[@gerardnglavin6249]

Wow Luke. Stunning video as always. I've really missed your output lately. Please keep them coming! Best wishes..Neil.

[@bannisterrods]

Thanks Neil, hopefully I'll get out on the water a bit more now, heading up to Wales soon so should be another one up before too long.

[@geoffreyshort5380]

Great video. Thanks.

[@bannisterrods]

Glad that you enjoyed it, hopefully I'll be out on the river a bit more now. Heading up to Wales soon, which should be interesting.
