Andy superb as always, it’s a lovely bit of river. Thank you so much for this.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

It was nice to be back Clive, I don't think I've fished it in the summer at this level! Superb fishing 🎣

[@MrHenry366]

Fantastic video. I have just sent my brother your way to buy his first flies. Finally taking up fly fishing. He’s bought two packs. 🎉 looking forward to watching him catch his first few trout on his own kit this season

[@IBandAndyFishing]

fantastic, thanks so much! Do let me know if we can help with anything!

[@JWhite-Fishing]

Lovely to see you back on the DCAC stretch again mate. Great session!

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Thank you! It was nice to fish it with low levels and lots more access than winter levels. Great peace of water 👍

[@nicholastully7865]

Well done Andy. Some nice fish and great to see you out in the water. Keep it up

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Cheers bud. IB & Snips sending their best regards to you! Are you catching a few?

[@nicholastully7865]

@@IBandAndyFishing I have only been fishing at Meon Springs in Hampshire. I have had my fair share of success.

[@adenet1]

Good to see you are well, nice quality video. Weather is a tough gig at the moment but you managed as well as I was hoping you would. The fish are in excellent condition. Just one more fish... 😊 Cheers

[@IBandAndyFishing]

always one more fish, right?! Thanks very much, we really appreciate it!

[@darylrobertson5489]

Great session, all fantastic fish 🎣

[@IBandAndyFishing]

thanks Daryl, I was pretty happy with it, Gutted to lose that big grayling on the dry

[@laurieharper1526]

Exceptionally beautiful fish at 18.30.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

thanks Laurie, there are some stunners in there that's for sure!

[@stephenbuckham9964]

Great to see you back out fishing. Nice fish and a good video

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Thanks bud, it's nice to finally put a video out. Thank you for sticking with the channel even when we weren't uploading regularly! Much appreciated 👏

Nice video, and good catch.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Thank you very much!

[@jpjohnson26]

lough angler myself but I love learning some things about the rivers!

[@IBandAndyFishing]

thanks bud, much appreciated!

[@peterdoble6723]

Hi Andy , When you next do a video and you are euro nymphing could you just do a little section on hook setting. Just back from a few days in Wales where I bounced lots of small fish and whilst I hooked some I couldn't seem to do it consistently. Thanks.

[@garyadamson4844]

Good stuff Andy 👍🏻

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Cheers Gary, had a wee dram that evening - cheers!

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Nice session Andy! Some of those browns you have over there almost look like tiger trout in their markings to me, whereas some of them look exactly like the browns we have here in Australia. :)

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Thanks buddy! Those tigery looking ones are the stockies. Goodness knows what strain they are, they're weird looking things that's for sure!

[@JamieFraser-m1i]

It’s been a hard year for everyone lad tight lines

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Tight lines, Jamie! Hopefully, you're getting out and catching a few?

[@zacharybattams9453]

I enjoyed that Andy, some lovely fish caught…..camera between the legs, a sign of someone getting giddy at the thought of casting to rising fish 🫡

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Thanks, bud. You know it too well! It doesn't matter if it's the first riser of the season or 3 months in.. I can't help but get excited for some dry fly action 😂

[@zacharybattams9453]

@@IBandAndyFishing I get giddy setting up bud, I hope I never lose that feeling 🤞

[@shortcircuit7310]

Hey Andy , great to see you out. Looking forward to the review of the new Oracle rods. I have the Stillwater 9'6# and am really impressed

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Cheers bud, review coming up soon!

[@daithistephen]

Excellent video 👏 what version of the Shakespeare oracle are you using?

[@martincorcoran8263]

Nice to see you back, great stuff as usual. I can never identify a fly on the water, any tips. Please

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Thanks Martin! Your best bet is to arrive at the river knowing what's likely to hatch off at that time of year. I could see they were olives, I could see they were a sz16-18, I could see the wing had a sort of grey colour - I'm assuming they're BWO as that's what hatches at this time of year with those characteristics

[@tjdevel07]

Nice

[@stuartday3232]

Great vid Andy will look forward to the review particularly on the 9ft #4 to swap out that pokey Onki I used on our day out.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Hi Stuart, thanks so much! Hopefully the review video has given you something to go at?

[@morganconway1342]

Il pray for you and your family❤

[@IBandAndyFishing]

thanks buddy, tight lines

[@mrintresting256]

Superb content as always Andy…..loved the church bells and the sheep in the background…very atmospheric. Just one question…are those stockies you caught tigers? Such a weird pattern compared to the wild brownies.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

they're odd looking fish aren't they? I assume there's some sort of hybridisation going on at the fish farms, one thing's for sure you can tell it's a stockie no problem! Many thanks for getting in touch, and for the watch!

[@OotnAbootFishin]

Hi andy. What tippet material do you use for your dry fly sessions on the 6x?

[@IBandAndyFishing]

I'm n Fulling Mill Masterclass fluoro bud, I really like the extra abrasion resistance of FC over mono or copoly.

[@OotnAbootFishin]

@@IBandAndyFishing cheers mate. Much appreciated 🎣

[@davidtc5346]

I enjoyed that. Were you down below the A50 ?

[@IBandAndyFishing]

thanks David! This is one of the beats further upstream

[@robin-rasmusodakivi5650]

You guys don't do any lure fishing videos anymore?

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Not many anymore unfortunately! Long story short we moved houses & location so we're both closer to our jobs and there just isn't any lure fishing. Closest venues an hour away 🫠. So not as easy as nipping out for a few hours like it was before...
