Dry Fly Fishing For Trout in Super Clear Water

[@charliecollins17]

I have caught more fish in the last few weeks watching these videos than in the rest of my life...brilliant, and thank you!

[@bigjocknew52]

Same with me

[@Pikeandslippers]

Another superb video Rhys. I can watch and listen for hours.

[@RhysFishes]

That’s kind, thank you

[@jamesalexander4203]

Hey Rhys, love the drone footage and the educational nature of your content. Last year I was fishing and averaged 1.3 fish per ten outings. This year I’ve been out 3 times in the past 3 weeks and my average is at 5 fish per trip. Cloudy water, lure, nymph and indeed anything you have shared has helped me catch more and enjoy my time on the water. The camera and edit on this is top drawer. Thanks

[@cleggycyclist]

lovely looking fishery and those are premium quality bows!

[@RhysFishes]

Cheers derek

Hi buddy! Your channel is a great watch. What is your typical set up for dries what floating and leader do you set up?

[@RhysFishes]

It’s mentioned in the video titled ‘this lake will blow your mind’ 🙂

[@admanzw]

I've been waiting for spring dry fly fishing, then my wife went and had a baby! See you all next year xD

[@RhysFishes]

Congrats. See you when the child turns 5 👍😂

[@brettpilling7580]

Great video!

Great stuff as always, learn lots from your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them.

[@TheWelshflyfisher]

Great video pal awsome dry fly action!

[@Fishinginthebrain]

Can't beat surface dry fly fishing best time of the year mate 🎣😁 keep it up mate 👍

[@barrygrey5119]

Great video. Really enjoyed watching it! Looks a cracking venue to fish aswell!

[@Craigsoutdooradventures]

Great Video Rhys really enjoyed and gave me a few ideas on how to improve my fly fishing videos

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Nice one pal, going myself tomorrow.

[@derickhannant6947]

Hi Rhys. Very much enjoyed viewing your video. I love dry fly fishing above all else & try to use this method as much as is possible. What I’d like to say is how impressed I am with your double haul casting. Some anglers that I have viewed, good as they are, it makes me think of them hammering a nail into a wall, you seem to cast so elegantly. Thanks for all of the tips & tight lines to you. Derick.

[@RhysFishes]

Thank you

[@alanbobbymcguire5099]

Great film.

[@TheSqueak11]

What is the dry fly leader set up

[@jonny5163]

Hi Rhys how long is your tippet that is attached to poly leader?

[@RhysFishes]

4ft roughly

[@ioanjones554]

Great video again mate 👍🏼

[@fishingwithivanich1809]

Good fishing ! Good rest ! Thank you from Russia !

[@Scarletsb0y]

Nice video as always, guess at the moment this will be the only way I see you,.

[@timmyz7549]

are these ponds specifically built for fishing in UK ?

[@RhysFishes]

Yea. All river fishing in the UK is owned by clubs and for some clubs it's impossible to obtain a membership due to limited numbers. As a result, put and take or catch and release lakes like this form a large population of the trout fishing UK anglers do.

Honestly mate your vids are super helpful, as I’m trying to expand my fishing methods to get better. Your the man 🙌

[@ronniebiggs4026]

Great video dude ...The guy on the end of your platform looked as sick as a parrot 👌🎥

[@RhysFishes]

That's a good friend of ours and he probably caught just as many 👍

[@greyglider6229]

Thanks Rhys, another most enjoyable video! Did I understand you to say the leader is fleuro all the way to the fly or is there a terminal poly section of tippet?

[@RhysFishes]

For this video i fished with copolymer initially then switched to fluorocarbon. I'd usually pair that with a 9ft shop bought tapered leader (any brand will suffice)

[@rhyspercey3880]

In a few of the shots there it looked like you were using 2 dries, what sizes would you use when fishing 2? Would it be a bigger one on the point or both the same? Also good choice in music in the last 2 vids.

[@RhysFishes]

Just 1 dry rhys, i rarely fish 2 on a small stillwater at the risk of breaksoffs. If i were fishing two i'd keep them relatively small

[@gavs09]

Been waiting for this!!

[@hoggy1212]

Great videos👌🏻 what’s the name of this fishery?

[@RhysFishes]

Garnffrwd

[@buckmarkboysporting3539]

Hi Rhys, whats the name of this fishery please?.

[@box213]

Hi Rhys quality as usual... just wondering if you will be going out fly fishing for bass again this year?

[@RhysFishes]

Once the numbers of fish begin to show, i hope to do some more.👍

[@box213]

Brilliant Rhys can’t wait for that one.🎣👍

[@awflyfishing]

Great video👌🙂🐟

[@johnyzonker]

High Rhys great video, how many cdc feathers do you need to float those emergers you were using?

[@RhysFishes]

4 or 5

[@johnyzonker]

@@RhysFishes Is that on a size 12 ?looks like a size 12 on my phone

[@simonheed7964]

Very enjoyable video again thank you, can I ask do you use a liquid or powder flotant on your dry flies ?

[@RhysFishes]

Gink initially and then loon powder to redry the fly after a fish (amadou would achieve a similar position on the fly)

[@simonheed7964]

@@RhysFishes thank you very much I will try this at the weekend

[@echocornet]

The guy on the end of the platform..... I will have a wee glimpse round to see what Rhys is fishing on ;)

[@andrewevans2056]

I new what Rhys was on I fish with him 👍👍

[@fordysfishing1976]

Great informative video as usual mate and some good content👍👍 I love it when you can see the takes...only ever caught 1 fish on a dry fly so...hopefully get some more as spring kicks in 👍👍

[@JamesBaynham-w4w]

Could you show how to degrease the leader

[@neverinlife2]

[@garystedman324]

[@robshaw3655]

Llyn Brenig reservoir in North Wales is still not open for fishing saying they dont have permission from welsh govt and it may be end of April before they get it...bit weird when other local reservoirs are open. They are open for walkers and cyclists but not anglers. In previous restrictions last year they at least had local anglers booking online..... anyone with more info...?

[@kittylife5589]

If it’s not dry it’s not fly 👍☀️☀️☀️

[@paulcarter5731]

Were you on the phone whilst catching one of those fish?

[@RhysFishes]

You were the first to notice 😂. Jeremy called at the wrong time!
