It really pays to keep moving and keep switching up tactics, fish high, fish deep, fish slow, fish fast, big fly little fly, move up and then back, great video 👍👍

Hi Phil. Another great video showing the trials and joys of angling. It’s so long since I fished Westlow Mere, I can’t remember. One thing we have in common is the language we use when we lose one 😉 Thank you for sharing look forward to the next one.

Would try smaller flys

[@cameronstevenson5894]

Great video mate ive learned a bit from it when i fish the snake/leach it tends to sit on top of the water dosent sink much at all ive tried wetting it before i cast but like i say dosent sink a lot is this normal for this pattern or should it sink really deep and fast

[@fastmailtackle8228]

It should float for the first couple of casts really if you don’t wet it, sometimes the trout love it off the top but I like it to fish straight away. Check out the original ones here fastmailtackle.co.uk/?s=Original+snake&post_type=product&type_aws=true

[@matthewbates-kb5di]

Would never fly fish without glasses, I've made a million fly casts and twice I've been been smacked in the specs, the last time, recently, a 4mm damsel fractured my lens, and I'm a specs warer so have reinforced lenses, without them, id probably have lost an eye.

[@fastmailtackle8228]

I know it’s a fault of mine, I would always recommend anglers to wear glasses and I will in the next video

[@morayflyfisher674]

Great video! Tried to catch the names of the buzzers but couldn’t catch it. Do you sell a small stillwater nymph set?

[@fastmailtackle8228]
