In MI the hatcheries are growing grayling to reintroduce them to the AuSable and Manistee rivers.

That is a great thing!!

Another enjoyable afternoon fishing with you. We learn about the Scottish countryside, flies, fly fishing; and, we had a rare added bonus of seeing the clever king fisher evade the speedy sparrow hawk. Thank you for sharing with us Davie.

Davie. Another great video. I came to fly fishing late only started couple of years ago and these videos make me jealous of all years i missed growing up in Ayr and not doing any fishing.

I've got people allowing there dogs to jump into the water when I'm fishing it cracks me up putting it politely all the best mate tightlines and good vibes.

Frustrating start Davie! Amazing to see kingfisher chased by sparrow hawk. Another really enjoyable video. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing your day. A day of two half’s that gives everyone hope.

I've just got a ticket this year for the river Ayr. Thanks for this video

Evening Davie, Firstly, many thanks for putting the small olive to the test. Which of us hasn't experienced what happened, or should that be didn't happen in the first ten minutes? Capturing the Sparrowhawk chasing the Kingfisher and the latter avoiding his pursuer was absolutely brilliant Phew! Great video and lets hope we see you out and about again before the end of the season. many thanks.

Was a nice day for me, Davie... and you got 'gone fishing'... =] Mike

Davie, I enjoy your walk to the river on the video as much as the fishing ! Thanks again.

Hello Davie! Another amazing fishing video! Keep them coming! All the best.

Lovely fishing in a beautiful setting. Thanks as always for posting.

Thanks Davie. Nice grayling. Good to watch you fishing. Lots of luck with your fishing. Wish I was there too. God bless. Walter

Scotland and that river are intriguing. Thanks for posting, Davie.

Tks for posting davie nice water always enjoy when you take me fishing

Great fishing.

Thanks for the video Davie , it was fun .

Дэви, приветствую Вас! Отлично провели время! Мне очень нравится нахлыст, я не так давно увлёкся им. Много знаний приобрёл просматривая ваши видео. 🤝👍🇰🇿

Everyone has a bad day where things don’t go our way but, hey, that’s part of the challenge and makes days when everything goes well all that much better!! The trip is the cake, catching em the icing! All the best next time!! 👍👍😊

Fantastic Davie, that part of the water is my plan for next season, so much water in that club, it's worth even the significant joining fee. Canny wait to be quite honest!.

Ye have more water running on the Ayr than we have in the Awebeg Davie. No rain yet this August. Unheard of! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks For Sharing Davie!

I have days like this more than not, but even though I have them I feel lucky to be able to fish.

Thanks for the tag-along! 👍

Hi Dave, your fly tying is masterful but you will catch a lot more fish on dry flies if you cast a shorter and slacker line, your style is more typical of a wet fly fisher. This pool may not be accessible from the wooded bank but if it is, that is the bank to fish, with a slacker more up stream cast. You may catch smaller fish in the way you are fishing but better canny fish will not take, there being a subtle but ever preset drag. I have fished dry exclusively now for 15 years and it’s been a real education to fish dry all the time for wild fish. It’s almost like learning to fish all over again, since I used to be a wet fly man. I love the films I hope these comments are well received. They are intended to be helpful.

Nice afternoon with you Davie....glad the Kingfisher got away. 👍

That was fun. A few laughs at your expense but you got the "stink off".Sorry to see the water so low. Not sure if you cast pretty or I should run out and buy that triangle tapper. Joan Wullff makes it look good but she was a champ. You make it look good but you've been a gillie. Thanks again for taking us with you. Lots of fun.

Nice wee day out Davie. Making me homesick. ATB Martyn

I really like those videos. Must be a hassle to edit tho. Keep them coming. One day, if I ever go to your country, I wish to meet you by a river and shake your hand my good sir.

Spike pool, Plum Jordan, Calm waters and Laundry pool. Good stretch of river Davie. Size 12 G.P or Ally Shrimp in Laundry pool as a spate runs off is the way to get the grilse (when the water is like tea with no milk). Should be good this Monday due to heavy rain predicted on Saturday.

Thank you very much; it's completely different from Japan, but I feel like I went fishing

Nice video my friend! 🙂

nice video. I thought you said you were fishing a 9' 4wt, but what size tippet and how long overall is your leader?

Are you wearing polarized sunglasses? Always found they are a great tool for fishing and cutting down the glare!

I like the comment ’going back to school’ I’m a candidate for that to some times, Christine from NZ

The water level looks good considering there has been very little rain.

Like the look of that wee fly, could you whip one up please?? Cheers 🎣

great day on river - @8:11. "dough fly" - do you have a link to tying this wee 20? thanks in advance - my 1st copy attempt is a failure

We get algea blooms here during the summer with low water , horrible stuff ruins you're fly ☹️

Hi! another great video. Just a question. Are there a day ticket for fishing these places? I tried to go and looked for information and I just saw tickets for salmon...:( Thanks!

Hi JAF IrAuLtZa!, The clubs I am in have limited space for new members though you can get day tickets or even a season ticket but I couldn't tell you where to buy them..If you can get a day ticket it allows you to fish for trout and grayling as well as the salmon..I'm glad you enjoyed the video.. All the very best Davie

@@DavieMcPhail Hi Davie. Just kidding mate. As probably the best tyer in Europe I didn't for one minute think you'd got them from somewhere else. You can obviously handle a fly rod as well. Top man. Cheers Phil

Shame if the Hawk captures the Kingfisher Davie, fantastic capturing that btw.

First part of that trip would have had me like……😬

Nice country. Do you get permission to traverse the lands or is it just accepted that the shore is for everyone?

@neilandrew961

Yes you need permission and normally pay an annual fee to fish the property

@davidgoss72

Permits are needed to fish yes. Not for walking on the land. We have no trespassing law in Scotland and mostly all of the land has public rights of way and pathways. Obviously in farm land you need to be respectful and not let dogs run free when there is livestock.

@@davidgoss72 that sound pretty much as in Spain but that makes most of the shores unable to walk by them. Also permission money goes directly to the government so the land owners don't take care of the rivers or shores at all. Sad.

you to fast in the Start Davie😂😂😂Nice river bye the way,,whats the cost for fishing there

Slightly bigger fly maybe....

Every one of those short hook ups is a catch in my book. You're using a small fly and trout have big mouths, so its hard to get a solid hook set on a fish with a size 20 or lower. Maybe give the fish a beat or two before you set the hook. Thats what I do. And thats the slackest water to fish anyway. Maybe the fish aren't so fast to take a fly like they would in riffles or faster water.

I like your fishing adventure videos. It would be interesting see what the early morning looks and sounds like on the River Ayr. The larger grain fields must have plenty of Pheasants, Partridge, rabbits and fox roaming around. The fishing regulations are something that would be interesting to know about too. Do Sea trout or Sea Run Brown trout run up the Ayr River? I would wonder about Eels and other fish that you sometimes find in rivers of Scotland. 🦉🪶🦊

Salmon and sea trout run the river Ayr. Eels used to be very common. Not so much now. Grayling and brown trout are resident all year round.
