Only just catching up to this one - another great video, filmed at my late father's favourite fishery and the video released on what would have been his birthday. Thanks for uploading and bringing back some great memories of my own of Garnffrwd. Cheers!

really enjoyed the video, must be great to fish with your dad who is obviously a good fisherman, not sure about how a couple of the fish were returned though, but great video

[@oldgold5848]

Rhys.. Nice session at Ellerdine today. 6 fish including a spartic and a blue. 4 on a cormorant, 2 on a pink tungsten nobbler. Between 1.5 and 3.5 pounds 5 last week on cormorants...all between 3.5 and 6 pounds . Would be nice to catch up with you are some stage.

[@allanstewart6894]

Brilliant video Rhys, kind of reminds me of me and my old man except we don't catch the fish. 🤣

[@michaelarundel8129]

Never heard of a spartic, is that like a brook trout ? Love these video's. Especially in lock down again.

[@RhysFishes]

Spartic is a hybrid of a artic char and a brook trout

[@TowynEvans]

Great content Rhys. Your old man seems to be enjoying his retirement 👍👌

[@behindthegreens67]

Brilliant video. When me and dad go fishing its always a pound for the most fish.

[@RhysFishes]

That'd cost me a fortune against the old man😂

[@behindthegreens67]

@@RhysFishes 🤣🤣 we normally tie if I'm honest with a total of 0 fish... I always say fishing is like making a baby trying is fun

[@oliversmith3771]

What where you fishing under the bung at the start and what your normal go to be?

[@robertvivian8100]

Hi Rhys just seen the video of the fish off between you and your dad Brilliant i have noticed in some of them you use your own bungs could you make a short video on you put them togeather

[@RhysFishes]

will do Rob! Stay tuned.

[@ibelieve1468]

Great video as usual, with regards to your mint floater your using is it the same line rating as your rod or one size heavier? The reason i ask is i normally use a peach floater 444 and since reducing from an 8 weight rod to a seven fast action. I purchased a 444 in a #7 and it is far too light for the rod. My old #8 444 line loads it perfectly but sadly its many years old and at the end of its life so before buying the mint i thought i would ask. Cheers

[@RhysFishes]

With the cortland lines they're pretty well matched for the rating. I use a 7 line with a 7wt rod👍

[@ibelieve1468]

@@RhysFishes thanks 👍

[@Adam-lv4zz]

Better to see for little bend in the rod weather it comes after going 1 or 2 weight higher

[@tacticalflyfisher3817]

Another great video Rhys. Do you know why brook trout are called Spartic trout in your neck of the woods? Just a bit of curiosity from here across the pond.

[@RhysFishes]

Thanks Devin. It's called a spartic because it's a purposeful hybrid cross between a brook trout and an arctic char. There's a market in the UK for pursuing the more rare species like marble ,tiger, blue and spartics. So naturally, fisheries have catered for it👍

[@tacticalflyfisher3817]

@@RhysFishes thanks for the clarification. We have similar programs for tiger trout, splake, and cuttbows here.

[@RhysFishes]

@@tacticalflyfisher3817 It's really interesting how some hybrids and breeds in the US like the cutthroat have never made it across the pond.

[@gavincampbell6712]

Hey Rhys what's the best retrive when fishing the bung cheers

[@RhysFishes]

Static as possible!

[@mikel3379]

Really enjoyed the fishing and the banter but did not like the way fish were thrown back into the water.

[@joshwood1699]

Hi mate just a quick question is your dad using an airflo super stik mk2 ? Been looking at getting a couple for fishing from the boat. If it is one could you let me know what he thinks of them ? Cheers !

[@RhysFishes]

He is josh. Its a good rod for subsurface work (fast intermediates/di lines) and its quite stiff so does literally feel like a stick in your hand. Better suited to the subsurface methods than gentle floating line methods 👍

[@joshwood1699]

@@RhysFishes cheers Rhys think I’ll just get another Stillmaniac !

[@TW-yv6xt]

Can someone tell me what a spartic trout is. Because to me it just looks like a brook trout.

[@RhysFishes]

Its a hybrid cross between a brook trout and an arctic char
