Greetings from Oregon. I used to live in England as a lad but now am in Central Oregon. I have been up there to Scotland and the Lake District over 50 years ago so the video strikes a familiar but dim & distant chord. I realize you & I both love the landscapes around the fish, which is half the beauty of the prize. If you chase trout you find yourself in the most gorgeous places to be found. That's the way it is with trout. Keep the work coming. Thanks for ringing a distant bell..

Edmund, thanks so much for the comment! You sound like a kindred spirit and I’m so happy the video struck a chord with you. I couldn’t agree with you more. Much as I love trout and would fish for them in a puddle by the road if I had to, these days I’m all about chasing wild trout in beautiful places. Wishing you all the best from the other side of the pond and I hope you’re safe and well in these strange times🎣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Production quality for your subscriber and view count is superb. I am looking forward to the next one already!

Awesome video! Love the transitions from serene to action!

Loved the look on yer face when the two fish got away !

Well done, Sean. Beautiful impression of the countryside and the fishing. Some excellent scenes...

Stunning scenery, great to see them take the dry so readily!

When despair grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting for their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. Wendell Berry

Nice places and video mate!

Great video there sir! Just started my Fly fishing adventure so look forward to seeing more of yours in the future.

This is such a good video, just watching some of the older stuff, awesome!

Thanks for sharing your day out with this quality video.

Quality video. Really enjoyed it. Class. Heading up there on Monday, can’t wait.

I still watch your videos over and over, I love the scenery, editing everything. We need more videos :)

Beautifully shot film. Great fishing 👍

What I am struggling to understand is why you only have 102 subs, when you’re content is such good quality, your editing and filming is very well put together, I know how much work goes into good quality videos, I run a KZread channel myself. You’ve either just started, or the algarythms aren’t doing you justice. I thought this video was great, I love fly fishing, anything out doors really, but I’ve fished man and boy, and love vids of this type and quality. You seem a nice guy as well. It’s a yes from me. Many thanks.

Well you’re doing great I must say. I look forward to more. Take care.

Lovely wee video, I know the effort that goes into making something like this so well done. Lovely looking water too, not fished that myself, and not so far from me so maybe another for the bucket list in 2020. Where do you get the permits for that water, all the links I have followed appear to be out of date?

Superb wee film again Sean. Have you tried the Lyon near to Fortingall ? It's a gem for the dry fly and nymph.

Somebody hire this guy to make a movie

What I find surprising is with all that wild great brown trout fishing in Scotland , why there are so many holes in the ground with tailless rainbows offering expensive fishing and people go there instead of to the wild streams and lochs, makes no sense. Really enjoyed this film, I am a bit jealous, I have to travel to get to a river and you have loads near Glasgow (I think it’s Glasgow?) have a great season in 2021, thank you for posting.

Couldn’t agree with you more, David. Although to be fair there are some very well managed still waters. But I’d take a wild 10oz trout over a triploid rainbow all day long 👍🏼. You’re right about Glasgow too. I’m very fortunate to have urban trout fishing on my doorstep. Fingers crossed the restrictions ease and you manage to do a bit of fishing next year. At this stage nothing can be taken for granted 😔

Just found your channel & this video is a double hit for me as I love fly fishing & I go camping up killin with my kids most summers I thought I saw a sign not far from where we camp saying no fishing though? Is it just certain Points your not allowed?

@SouthsideFlyFishing

Thanks mate! There are a few little private bits where you're not allowed to fish, but when you buy your ticket you should get a map too which points them out. That said, there's still miles of good water on both the Dochart and Lochay and you can fish Loch Tay with the same permit. Not bad for a few quid!

Hi Sean, Where did you get the permit to fish here? Thanks Dario

The areas you fished in the video around 4m 10s and 5m were just stunning. Can you give me a rough idea where they are? Obviously I'm not expecting detailed trails, tracks, paths and thruways, but a general idea would be great.

@@SouthsideFlyFishing Thanks again Sean, yeah the bit where you're fishing on the slab of rock looks an awesome (and deep) little pool. The part of the video shortly after that at 5mins is breathtakingly beautiful. I've recently got back into fly fishing and have decided (the occasional visit to a fishery aside) to try and concentrate on rivers.

The Avon in Falkirk the fish are bouncing might not be big but don't know where the next fish is going to jump it's tht teeming

The mayflys seem to bite at this time of the year

If you put the fish on the reel you have have a better chance of landing it.

@SouthsideFlyFishing

Definitely agree in principle. But I use barbless hooks so the main thing for me, especially early on, is keeping a tight line on the fish, otherwise the hook has a tendency to pop out! It’s not always easy to get a fish on the reel early without losing tension

Why do trout fishing videos always have crap , completely inappropriate or unnecessary music in background. ?
