A Dry Fly Film Adventure, Tutorial...

[@tadghmurphy7807]

Only getting to know your channel. Great stuff. I'm new to fly fishing but really love. My brother is a great fly fisherman and my father too. Great tips and easy understand you. Thanks

[@springerspanielful]

Glad to have you on board, many thanks.

[@chasselynch5733]

Love the history and nostalgia in your videos

[@springerspanielful]

Thanks a million.

[@desorourkeflytying1823]

Really enjoyed that George. Brilliant information and very well put together. You're providing a great service for people wanting to learn from a great fisherman like yourself

[@springerspanielful]

Thanks a million Des,appreciated.

[@backpackingireland8624]

Great tutorial again George 👌Aná mhaith a buachail . Caught my first trout on dry Wickhams 35 years ago . Absolute purist fly fishing technique imo . Outstanding. 👌👌

[@springerspanielful]

Great to hear!

A man at home by the river, aside from the superb fishing there were some superb stills of nature at its finest and the cupla focal 👍. There must have been a maze of editing creating that video so fair play George. Also, to be fair, the conditions have been really difficult so far this season so to catch those fish on the dry is really impressive. The difference in the shop bought flies and your own patterns is simply night and day. I don't know of any other KZbin channel that is so honest or dedicated. No one catches them all and nobody catches every time so fair play. Local knowledge cannot be beat and your flies are always superb. Massive effort and I enjoyed every minute. 👏 maith an fearr 👍🎣🎣👍

Great episode, I been Flyfishing for the past 20 years and this year was the first time I started Dryfly fishing and it opened a new world and wish I tried years ago, I do advice everyone to give it a try, I was always afraid I wasn't doing it well and won't catch fish until I tried it this year and I'm hooked to it now, so much fun on the 3wt. Tight lines

[@springerspanielful]

Good for you John,never too late to try a new technique.

[@patob4868]

Excellent video george, nearly an hour long only felt like 5 minutes, really well presented, will have to do more dry fly fishing this year after watching this👍👍🐟🐟🐟

[@springerspanielful]

Go for it Pat..

[@coolmoyneman]

Despite all the advances in fishing techniques over the years, nothing comes close to the satisfaction of rising a trout to a dry! Great video George, keep ‘em coming.

[@springerspanielful]

Will do, appreciate the positivity.

[@deceg5284]

Well done great tips there. Dry fly is the most enjoyable way to catch trout. You have good confidence in the sparkledun. It’s a great fly floats well

[@springerspanielful]

One of the greats is the sparkle dun, my go to dry fly.

[@reserrvoirman]

Great channel, love the fishing.

[@springerspanielful]

Thanks a million.

[@jamespurdiemadden]

Thank you George - really good to watch.

[@springerspanielful]

Appreciate it James..

[@timkirk5708]

George another great relaxing video just what I needed after work. Casting like the beard were on point 🎣

[@springerspanielful]

Good to hear!

[@ericlong9085]

Full of great information and well presented

[@springerspanielful]

Glad you found it informative.

[@waikarimoana]

Awesome video George, awesome place for sure and great water, thanks and thumbs up and greetings from faraway land of New Zealand.

[@springerspanielful]

Thanks Tony.

[@peterlaidler3895]

Good morning George, an exceptional video as always. If I may be allowed to make one observation? It would have been interesting to see the flies used after you had released your fish. I mention this only from a point of curiosity because obviously different anglers use their "own" patterns for the specific waters they fish. Lovely water, lovely scenery, you are blessed sir. Looking forward to your next installment. tight lines

[@springerspanielful]

Morning Peter,the flies on which I caught those trout are the same flies I spoke about at length in the section on flies in the video,they are all much of a muchness,simple generics.Appreciate your input as always,cheers buddy.

[@grahamlonergan8964]

Great video George - Thank you

[@springerspanielful]

Thanks Graham, see you at Camus.

[@patmac736]

Excellent video George, I do a lot of wet flie fishing on the bride in conna,I will definitely be trying my hand at the dries now after watching this. Well done

[@tomcronin8072]

Excellent video George you make it look so easy. Thanks Tom.

[@springerspanielful]

Please do, let me know how you get on.

[@paddywhack300]

Very good the most enjoyable method of the lot like yourself started out on the dry fly.

[@springerspanielful]

Can't beat it..

[@garyhill3752]

Excellent video May try some of your methods on my local river tomorrow although at the moment the level is really down

[@springerspanielful]

Give it a shot Gary, fine leader and small fly for low water, let us know how it goes.

[@ritaodonovan5231]

Finally got to watch it. Enjoyed the video. Still learning

[@springerspanielful]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@troutbhoy1]

Great video George 👍🏻, There is no more satisfying or enjoyable way to catch a trout than with a dry fly unfortunately a lot of newcomers to the sport think that Euro nymphing is the be all & end all of fly fishing & become obsessed with numbers of fish caught I’ve seen it for myself, while nobody is doubting its effectiveness to me it gets boring after a while but each to their own I suppose. One thing I have to say is I love fishing dries with my double taper silk fly line just grease it up with Mucilin & it floats all day😉

[@springerspanielful]

Thanks for the positivity a chara, the silk lines must have improved since my day, tight lines.

[@bobhammond8067]

Very Well Done!!!!

[@springerspanielful]

Thanks a million Bob.

[@JohnMccarthy-bp5ko]

Good man George great video 👌👍

[@springerspanielful]

Thanks bud.

[@chasselynch5733]

Wow your totally right about the entomology of the streams and how they have changed here where I live over the last 2 decades high flood waters muddy sility water has decimated mayfly nymph populations ,the silt gets down in the rocks/riffles and the gills of the mayfly nymphs kills them

[@springerspanielful]

Happening worldwide.

[@gaiusbell3309]

Hi George. I like your large magnifier that you have on your tying bench. Would you kindly tell me What make is it and where did you get it? Kindest regards Gaius.

[@springerspanielful]

I bought the magnifier more than 20 years ago,unfortunately I don't remember the makers name and there's no name on the device itself,sorry I can't be of more help.

[@kmnconnor]

Thank you! George Text book VIDEO !!!

[@springerspanielful]

Thank you too..

[@philiplogan6416]

just starting out. thanks for the tips..

[@springerspanielful]

Best of luck Philip,tight lines.

[@gerardmurtagh8998]

Do you fish 2 flys or 1 great video

[@springerspanielful]

Only ever fish one.

[@paulsmart7167]

Class lad a dry fly materclass👍

[@springerspanielful]

Nice one,thanks a million.

[@michaellowry9964]

Great video hard to beat the dry fly roll on summer

[@springerspanielful]

It'll be deadly.

[@fancypelusa2863]

George - Why do you think on some days a lot of rises are missed and on others almost every one is a hookup? Is it our timing of the strike or is it the fish don't quite commit. I would appreciate your opinion on this. Great video as usual!

[@springerspanielful]

Misses are inevitable due to numerous factors, if you're missing consistently on a given day it's most likely a confidence issue, you miss a couple and it seeds a doubt in your mind and then you start to second guess the timing and therefore misstime your strike.

[@michaelforde4373]

Top drawer video

[@springerspanielful]

Glad you liked it,thanks.

[@johncarrigan9352]

very good...so where can we buy them?

[@springerspanielful]

I can be contacted on Facebook or Instagram,thanks.

[@stewartsimpson2236]

Great video - I watched was hoping for some info on tippet preparation in terms of presentation - flouro / mono and how to get the leader to sink etc. Any tips on this to allow the perfect fly presentation or do you find none of this matters with light tippet and good floatant?

[@springerspanielful]

This time of year ie April,the season is young and there's relatively high water and leader construction isn't as critical as later in the season,as the trout and the river are much more forgiving in most scenarios.It's something I will be covering in more detail in a future video,hope you'll tune in for that,thanks Stewart.

[@jctralee]

Are you going to do a wet fly version

[@springerspanielful]

Maybe later in the season John.

[@TopSecretVid]

What brand flyline do you use

[@springerspanielful]

I buy cheap lines from China,Maxcatch,they do the same thing the expensive lines do.

[@markwallace7389]

The bit at the bridge . Bright orange cap. Might want to change it. Great vid tho.

[@springerspanielful]

The cap makes me work harder to be stealthy, like a cat with a bell on its collar.

[@patmustard5353]

When no fish are rising, try a Klinkhamer with a nymph tied to the bend of the Klinkhamer {klink and dink}

[@springerspanielful]

If that's what floats your boat.

[@andrewthunderroad]

go hiontach great work

[@springerspanielful]

Go raibh maith agat a chara..

[@stephencotter1144]

Some beard

[@springerspanielful]

Glad you like it.
