Gwan kid..

[@garrymcgauran4978]

Lovely stuff

[@springerspanielful]

Indeed..

[@richardgallagher647]

Super video. Thanks for sharing. Just wondering was Keith using a full sinking line or a sink tip line for streamer fishing?

[@springerspanielful]

He explained at the end of the vid he uses a sinking line exclusively.

[@MrMartin286]

Great fishing lads

[@springerspanielful]

Thanks for the visit

[@gerardmurtagh8998]

Great video George and Keith like to see some of his how he tyies his streams

[@springerspanielful]

Keith has a vid or two on youtube..

[@pronoun_dilemma]

Some super fish. Just curious, is that river higher than usual due to all our rain in Ireland recently? If so, does the higher water affect the trout fishing? It seems to for the likes of pike.

[@springerspanielful]

Yes and yes

[@bryankennedy9872]

enjoyed that 👍

[@springerspanielful]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@user-np1wc8ms9z]

Great video George, I haven’t tried streamer fishing in the river, it would be good if you did a video showing the type of streamers you were using and the tying, you’re mate called one a mary banger, must be a local fly.

[@springerspanielful]

I will soon

[@EireFirst2024]

Beautiful 💚

[@springerspanielful]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@billymacneil3839]

All hook no feather today nice pools great vid you bys can flick a fly ,wat rod weghts ya's runnin.Someday i might get a few flies sent over here to Cape Breton to see how some of those patterns would work here.I like throwin different paterns at them im sure they get tired of the same ole flies.

[@springerspanielful]

Sounds good

[@shortcircuit7310]

Good video George, I know Keith was using a 10' rod with full sinking line, what setup were you using yourself ?

[@springerspanielful]

10' rod with sink tip line..

[@paulcarter5731]

What was his set up? Got a 10' rod but what weight line, and heard a Di5 sinking line. Would a floating line and a fast sinking polyleader worsave buying a whole new line? Great video, You plan videoing the tying of those flies?

[@springerspanielful]

Yes, a fast sink polyleader would work just fine, tying vids to come, stay tuned.

[@karlnoonan5597]

Great video George. Very exciting early season fishing. Some lovely examples of considerate fish handling.

[@davidgregg8757]

Lovely trout , how’s the chest waders holding up ? I bought a pair start of March leaking already :(

[@springerspanielful]

I bought Orvis Pro, so far so good.

[@patrickburns406]

Most enjoyable 👌

[@TwentyPast1600]

[@springerspanielful]

[@jaruha1]

@@springerspanielful :) great word

[@Benny-zj3pl]

Which river george?

[@springerspanielful]

Not at liberty to reveal, was sworn to secrecy..

[@ferrettradesman6187]

Live action

[@springerspanielful]

Yes sir..

[@killirl32]

All good fish aswel. Seems the bigger fish are switched on by the streamers. Do u fish them similar to nymphing George? Then kinda strip the fly to mimmick small fry? Is that the general jist of it?

[@springerspanielful]

The retrieve is governed by water speed and what way the fish prefer it..
