Stillwater Fly Fishing - Short Winter Session

[@Chittling]

Well done you two. Great video.

[@nigelbyrne2248]

Love your haul IB it is so in tune with the rod loading

[@simonpilgrims]

Many thanks. More still water trout vids please. I'm learning like you guys . So it's great to hear you experimenting.

[@adamskitheangler3631]

Great video, IB and Andy! I'm never very confident on still waters with the fly, but seeing you guys go out, giving it a shot and having success at this time of year is good inspiration!

[@IBandAndyFishing]

If a pair of hacks like us can do it, you definitely can!

[@Andersbrook]

Just go with a sinking line and a booby fly 💪

[@georgejohnyoung9006]

Yet another great vid on a local water. Well done the pair of you.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Thanks John, much appreciated! Have you been out lately?

[@TheTroutFlyFisherman]

Good job both, really enjoying watching you tackle the Stillwaters!

[@elisjournal4435]

Great video! Halfway in and loving it. Those cold weather temps always make for an adventure! I've been facing the freezing weather on my last few videos too. Respect for the fact you've gotten out and crushed it!

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Thanks Eli! It's a grind in these conditions right?!

[@jamiepicken1938]

Well done stepping out your comfort zone. Winter is the best time to fish small stillwaters!! Try pulling apps worms (amber/pink/red) on a slow glass to a DI3. Takes are ferocious! Get some proper bungs and try an egg, cat bug, squirmy or wotsit (3ft to 6ft generally works great)! Keep the videos coming 👍

[@IBandAndyFishing]

I think some apps could be the way on this place, looking forward to getting more in to it, thanks for the tips!

[@blondie853]

Well done to you both.You are both doing fine.You do cheer me up with your banter.lol

[@northeastangling]

Another great watch 👍. All the big fish come out to feed up this time of year on the Stillwaters. Apps Brandling drifted on a floater or midge tip on a Ripple, can be deadly. Olive or Amber apps on a fast glass stripped back too. Whatever the method, I look forward to seeing you guys. Tight lines.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Great tips, thank you! We'll give them a go for sure!

[@russellthompson2947]

Great video guys would love to see use get into a big double thats when the fun starts

[@IBandAndyFishing]

I don't think we've got many waters for that sort of stuff, we'll keep trying though!

[@rohanhussain7934]

Lovely video guys keep up the work

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Thanks Rohan, much appreciated!

[@stephenbuckham1812]

IB showing the guys how its done well done

[@michaelmckenna14]

Great video guys ur taking to this like a thing to water, I can't quite remember what that thing is though as it's been ages since my last session but it's definitely something that belongs in water and u guys are it.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Duckin beautifully summed up there!

[@ethanrush4562]

Great video again I.b and andy loving the stillwater vlogs👍. I recommend press manor fishery in the peak district because you have a chance at catching the weird trout species and it isn't a massive water🎣🎣

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Thanks Ethan! We'll definitely be heading over to see Bernie soon! Any tips?

[@ethanrush4562]

@@IBandAndyFishing oh you know the fishery 🤣. On the first spot there is a deep chanel i managed to find it and caught 2 tiger trout and 8 rainbows should have a trip there with you one day there are some massive trout 🎣

[@krainapstragailipienia9685]

Nice! Have you tried on Thornton? ^_^ Amazing place

[@IBandAndyFishing]

It'd be easier to list the places we have tried - just this one! 🙈😂

[@oldgold5848]

Imo from now to March is the best time for small stillwater fisheries. The water seems to heat up quicker and quicker and buzzer hatches are erratic from May onwards on small pools. 3 to 6 ft down with a variety of methods tends to work well for the next 4 months.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

A few folks have said that now, or sounds like IB and I need to man up a bit!

[@oldgold5848]

@@IBandAndyFishing no need to man up guys! Grayling fishing in the winter up to your knick knackinoos gets cold as well. I find fishing gloves useless as you lose all feel, but surgical gloves keep your hands dry and a little warmer. That and a coffee and bacon butty after a couple of hours! I find even in the winter, flat calm and bright still makes fishing tougher. Normally, spring and summer an early start is best, but sometimes at this time of year fish only switch on for a short time, often from say 1 to 4 oclock.If you find yourself heading towards Ellerdine at any time, let us know. Great folk there, great fishing...even I catch some sometimes!. Have a look at Rhys fishes, Leigh Pond, Shaun fishes , Martin Williams and Lols channel for some great stillwater tips.

[@fishingwithaodhancallaghan3637]

Great video guys when is there going pike fishing again Aodhan .C👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼

[@IBandAndyFishing]

We tried last weekend and the weekend before and failed. We might try again tomorrow!

[@2412gonzalo]

Great Video!!

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Thanks buddy!

[@fliesbychris]

Andy fishing a bung?? You've went to the dark side now, there's no coming back!!!! IB's grin when she said "boobies" made me chuckle, Keep em comin !! ATB Chris.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

It's a slippery slope Chris that's for sure!

[@brianhutchison5787]

Floating line: Diawl Bachs , crunchers, buzzers, cormorants, mini lures. Bung with eggstacy flies or cat bugs or bloodworms. Intermediate line: apps worm, any lures. Sinking line: blobs, boobies, lures. It’s all trial and error with what you feel confident with and how you fish the setups but these setups with get you plenty of fish in winter.

[@mickwilkinson87]

What water is that it looks lovely

[@shaunfishes101]

I think you both did very well, and I really enjoyed watching. Andy you were on it when you worked out the fish were moving in the margins. So casting along the margins as apposed to short cast out. And I would recommend to work from the top down. So IB was spot on there. I have enjoyed this so much so that I have subscribed. Learn more check out Shaun Fishes. Take care. Shaun.

[@nicholastully7865]

IB if you are struggling to cast into the wind. Try casting with the wind coming from your left. But I'm sure you know that

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Hey up me duck. But then I wouldn't be fishing straight into the wind 😲 Or am I missing something?

[@nicholastully7865]

@@IBandAndyFishing it just makes casting easier and you can still get to where the fish are being pushed by the wind

[@andyflood7522]

Where was the venue? Good short session

[@adamhl09]

Apps Bloodworm is always a good winter pattern.

[@benroberts5325]

Yes 🎣yellow and red

[@maggiehemming7904]

I'm assuming the water is in Derbyshire but dont recognise it? Love Stillwater in winter😀

[@iainlindsay2892]

It's one of the DCAC waters which offer excellent value and quality fishing

[@maggiehemming7904]

@@iainlindsay2892 yes Ian a bit of searching found it! Thankyou

[@RhysFishes]

More of this Andy and IB, we're coming into the best of stillwater winter season fishing. If you'd interested in learning more, give me a shout👍

[@driftstone]

Way to polish off some of the ole' still water skillz!

[@devonangler3781]

Cool video, keep it up

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Thanks buddy, we'll try!

Mepps no 2 or apint of maggots ... easy 😂😂😂

[@fishingforlife3139]

What rod are you using Andy

[@Leon-is9ko]

What rod & reel is Ib using?

[@IBandAndyFishing]

A sage TCR 9' 5# and scierra Traxion 1lw 5/6 reel 👍

[@fireblaster9961]

So there’s 2 people out there that wear 2 pairs of glasses on the head 🔥🔫

[@larrycounce4509]

Certainly Andy has the red ears hummm must be cold.

[@jakehumes2333]

Don't bother with the washing line this late in the year usually pulling lures or the bung if you are after numbers

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Pulling lures odds IB's speciality it seems!

[@ccgm1964]

Good Boris Johnson impression again ...

[@thesteelcitycowboy]

"Boobies!" HA HA. Certainly impressive, 4 fish in an hour. Do you have a guide to grayling rivers in South Yorkshire/Derbyshire?

[@IBandAndyFishing]

I'm afraid I don't have any individual guides to any of the rivers, they're all so unique age different along their lengths
