Great in-depth brief on your gear. Thanks very much.

[@moonmonkey9595]

What a great video just subscribed my friend look forward to seeing more vids from you now

[@lyndoncook4508]

excellent video 👍 what a refreshing change to the usual tackletart nonsense where only Sage, Orvis blah blah will do, love it

[@alexcoomes6326]

i very much enjoyed seeing what you take fishing, I think we could all take a long hard look at what we take fishing an leave a great deal of the contents of our tackle bags at home - less is more!

[@1dowsey]

Just starting out and this was so helpful thank you

[@petersmith6974]

22 days to go 👍🏻. I’m ready for another season,the river once again has changed over winter. A new river each year to explore 👍🏻.

Good video and lovely pup 👍

Enjoyed your kit overview. I've caught trout on the River Itchen on guest tickets with fifty quid rods and I think one rod a Rovex was even cheaper on my fist outing. The fifty quid rod challenge 👍🏻

Hi Paul, Great vlog and many thanks for the kind words mate. 🙂

Enjoyed the video glad you're staying safe - can't wait to get back on the moor - gonna give a furled leader a go next time (Have P.M you on FB) CheersTim G

Thanks for the info. Bought myself a 7 foot 4wt Agility rise, and ordered a pair of waders off of diver Dave. Looking for some boots now. Thanks for all your video's, enjoy them all.

[@markjoyce2127]

I was wondering whether to get a 10ft 3 wt shakespeare agility 2 when I came across your video. Delighted to hear its a good rod that won't cost a fortune. Great video for the flyfisher that can't spend a fortune on gear like most of us 😀 👍

Enjoyed the video. Climbing the walls not being able to get out in the lovely Spring weather. Had a trip to the Usk planned which has had to be cancelled :-(. I've got those same waders and from Diver Dave. Very pleased with them. Loopy Leaders on eBay do decent and cheap furled leaders. I have several in varying lengths/weights. For bargain powder floatant, try fletching powder from archery suppliers (it's used to waterproof the feathers of arrow flights). Much lower price than stuff sold as fly floatant and does the same job. I find clear nail varnish is good for patching cracks in fly lines. Great little dog you have there.

Hi Paul, I’m from Somerset aswell I go pike fishing and also fly fishing with my grandad, next time your on the river in langport is it possible for me and you to meet up and go fishing for the day, I’m at my grandads at the moment in langport on the river side next to the bridge on the bridge from langport to Muchelney, I love your videos keep up the good work

[@Burnersforvanlife]

Aching to get back out. On the look out for a good pair of chest waders. My local river holds a good head of brownies, biggest 4.5lb. IME only 5'6" so need to trial fit. A nightmare with the imprisonment

[@peteredwards9147]

Hi, good video, great content, you didn't mention what size flies you use. Being mainly a reservoir lure angler you put my fly boxes to shame, but each to their own. Good luck and enjoy what your doing.

[@ianmiller865]

happydays your back....looks beautiful where you live is that north or south devon but dont worry am not a nutter,lol.

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Such a cute dog

If you're obsessed with dry fly fishing, you should give Tenkara fishing a shot Paul. Have a look at Tenkara in focus on KZbin. Paul Gaskell from the Wild Trout Trust runs the channel with John Pearson who is also a very adept fisherman. It's a great channel and all I really do now adays. Plus it's minimal for when you're travelling distances. Love the channel mate.... And the new pup.
