What a Stunning brown Luke… Rockbourne looks so different in the winter, a simply superb fishery, run by a passionate who put everything into providing us with great sport. Well done all. Another great video Luke

[@Full_on_flyfishing]

Thanks Chris really appreciate your consistent feedback and attention to detail in my Vlogs but rockbourne is truly a top fishery are you any closer to getting back out fishing mate?

[@Sunblesa]

Great fishing video!

[@Full_on_flyfishing]

Thanks 🙏🏼

[@Andy_White]

Great video Luke, never fished Rockbourne as it's a bit too far for me, it's a lovely looking fishery. I'm off to Avington next Saturday providing the lakes aren't frozen!

Lovely mate take your polarised glasses and tight lines I’m having a birthday bash there Sunday day after you with close friends leave some fish for us haha 😛

My fave fishery - I have had lots of doubles out of Rockbourne. This time of year I would have my low light glasses on but stalking is best from April - June at Rockbourne and winter is pretty much blind fishing. As you said I would put 95 percent of my trout back if I had the option to do so…good stuff

[@Full_on_flyfishing]

Yes mate I totally agree I think what made stalking extra hard was the run off from all the rain we had it was hammering down for a week still a great day out just my preferred style is sight fishing this was more lechlade style where you was only seeing the odd fish and fishing blind but that’s the time of year I agree rockbourne is an maxing fishery with some big fish and its so picturesque looking forward to stalking there later on in the year on my next trip down

Any pics of the gater bug fly or materials used

Hi nick all there fella 👌🏻 www.martynwilliamsflies.co.uk/gater-stalking-bugs-22-c.asp

[@barrybigplums]

I would argue that brown was a specimen solely based on the quality of the fish itself

[@Full_on_flyfishing]

Yes mate truly stunning strain down there those red spots they have on their brownies are beautiful 😍

What # rod do you use

[@Full_on_flyfishing]

Hi Daniel thanks for watching and commenting appreciate it I have a few rods for different stuff but that there is a hardy ultralite nsx 9’6 7wt

[@danieldavies1963]

@@Full_on_flyfishing have just started watching your videos and can’t stop 😂 do you rate hardy rods I’m thinking of getting some the Nsx X and the ultra lite nsx I’ve had sage r8 but can’t seem to get on with them thanks

[@Full_on_flyfishing]

Hahaha thanks man only started 3 months ago plenty more to come glad you enjoy them! And I’ve tried the r8 at my local tackle shop unless your an amazing caster you won’t get the best out of that rod wasn’t for me either honestly the hardy rods have a lot of back bone and are a lot more forgiving making them easy to cast better blank in my opinion I haven’t tried the x though that’s the stuffer one again I didn’t like the colour either it’s like a burgundy isn’t it ?

[@danieldavies1963]

@@Full_on_flyfishing yes it is I had a x before honestly one of the most powerful rods I’ve ever tried casting that is ridiculous could be the worst caster and still get unbelievable distance I’m looking forward to your videos keep them coming

[@rangerwhite5165]

I know they're stockies, but it seems a shame to kill that Brown. Stunning looking fish.

[@Full_on_flyfishing]

I know right! it was stunning😍 fishery rules I would release all fish if I could 😩
