Ultralight Lure Fishing for Wild Brown Trout on Dartmoor

[@charliesebbage9401]

Glad you still getting the 502 out & good to see another Trout video 👍🏻

[@DevonLerfer]

Yeah still love the 502, first pick for ultralight freshwater work 🙂 cheers mate 👍🎣

[@UKEDC]

Went there yesterday bloody freezing and wind was cutting. Managed a few between a mate and I. 😊.

[@DevonLerfer]

Pretty exposed up there isn't it 😅 glad you found a few fish though! 👍🎣

[@damianowens5066]

Now that's proper fishing! Beautiful wild fish in a beautiful wild place! PERFECT 🤗🎣👍

[@DevonLerfer]

Cheers mate, yeah it's stunning up there are those brownies are little beauties, worth the long walk up there! 🙂🎣

[@CaptJazzmag]

Looks like the Avon Dam. A fair old trek.

[@DevonLerfer]

Well worth the walk though! 🙂🎣

[@CaptJazzmag]

Definitely 👍🏻

[@rhyswilliams1413]

Lovely markings on those brownies. What was the metal you were using?

[@DevonLerfer]

Yeah they're little beauties up there. I was using Crazy Fish Soar spoons mate

[@StephenDennis-s8v]

Great video Rich, those wild brownies are beautiful 👏

[@DevonLerfer]

Cheers Steve, stunning aren't they 🙂🎣

[@LRFandHRF]

Enjoyed that mate. Nice to see a different angle of the soggy session.

[@DevonLerfer]

Cheers mate, was a good day, despite the weather 😅🎣

[@bassblanker5359]

Cracking video, nice to have some of variety of coarse, game and sea, although the weather looked brutal!

[@DevonLerfer]

Thanks mate, I've enjoyed mixing it up a bit lately. Yeah that weather was quite an experience, took me a few days to dry out after that 😂

[@bassblanker5359]

Only a few days!!!🤣 I like the little trout spoons you were using, I love the Mepps spinners, but, the line twist is a killer. Do the little spoons cause much of an issue please?

[@Neil.W]

Hi. Did you swap out the hooks on the trout spoons for barbless ones? If so which hooks would you recommend? Thanks.

[@DevonLerfer]

Hi, I did swap the hooks out, they're not barbless though. I used Decoy Single 32 Finesse singles 🎣

[@paulhopper988]

Great session Rich. They certainly liked those spoons. Have you ever tried Venford, less of a trek and holds some nice fish 👍

[@DevonLerfer]

Cheers mate, yeah they loved em! I haven't tried Venford, but I will check it out, thanks for the tip! 🙂🎣

[@vbn828]

beautiful fish. for a 7ft 1 10g rod would a 1000 or 2000 size shimano be best?

[@DevonLerfer]

Cheers! For ultralight/LRF most anglers tend to go for 1000 size. It is personal preference though, I actually really like fishing with the Shimano Soare BB C2000 PGSS reels (I have 3 of them 😅) as they are 1000 sized reel but have a 2000 sized spool, best of both worlds imo 🙂

[@gostagos6143]

Is that a polyester line you are fishing?

[@DevonLerfer]

Yes mate, it's Sunline SaltiMate Aji No Ito Ester 🙂

[@gostagos6143]

@@DevonLerfer thanks! Just re-read Ben Bassett's awesome article and still can't decide whether to stick with my 3lb fluorocarbon or give the ester lines a try for ul/xul fresh water duties...what's your experience concerning break-offs?

[@gostagos6143]

@@DevonLerfer And great channel, btw! Keep up the great work entertaining us continental inland-dwellers and holiday-only lerfers :)

[@DevonLerfer]

@@gostagos6143 it took me a little while to get my head around using ester line but I think it's a game changer when fishing super light, I don't like it anything over about 2lb b/s though. I find you just need to think about what you're doing a little more, but worth the extra little bit of effort in my opinion 🙂

@@gostagos6143 thanks mate, appreciate the kind words 🙂🎣
