Wise words indeed Nick! Not done a lot of comp fishing but I wouldn’t want to stick my head above the parapet with ‘drogue shame’ 🙄😄

Another fantastic days fishing with Nick. We caught 30 fish trout + a 9lb pike.

I have not been fly fishing since my dad passed 18 months ago. But you're videos are helping me a lot to get back into the idea of a buzzer session on Grafham Water this spring. See if I can catch one for my dad without his expert guidance. Great videos, lovely to see people enjoying the sport and sharing the knowledge thanks guys.

Hi Shaun - thanks for your comment, I am so pleased this short video has inspired yo to go out and fish again. I am sure your dad would be proud of you - just follow the setups and flies I used and you won't go far wrong. Tight lines!

Great vid Nick worth waiting for; great way of fishing one line but being able to change to different methods and showing what the fish were feeding on tight lines buddy look forward to the next vid

Hi Martin - thanks for watching! I use 9lb Riverge Fluorocarbon leader material for all my buzzer and nymph fishing. Get the best Fluorocarbon you can afford as it will make a difference to your success rate. Then, follow the leader setups and flies I use in these videos and you will catch fish. Tight lines and best regards - Nick.

HI love the videos I just found you and subscribed I am heading to rutland for the day next week from Ireland and dont really know it could you give me any advice on flies for this time of year many thx

Hi Thomas , apologies for my slow reply.at the moment t the Rutland trout are busy with pin fry. Look at my pin fry video for the best flies and tactics. Other than that, you will find fish right in the middle that can be taken on washing line tactics or Dries. 3 dries fished blind, best flies are shipmans, midas and daddies. Tight lines!!

@@FanaticalFlyFishing hey I would like to thank you for your advice on rutland I had 7 fish to the boat for 7 hours fishing one came in at 5lb 2oz on a 14 butcher with the tag removed all on pin fry as you said

Great professional videos - I really love the way you explain the set up of the leaders, fly spacing and close up ‘stills’ of the flies you’re using - too often we see videos of people ‘catching fish’ with no commentary and no explanation of what they’re doing…they make nice ‘screensavers’ but that’s about it. Can I ask 1 question - the G clamps you’re using for the drogue look like they’ve got carabiners attached. Did you attach those yourself and if so was it a lot of work? Thanks

Hi Mathew, thanks for your comments, it's great to get feedback from folks who enjoy my efforts. On the question of G-Clamps, the Carabiner clips are simply clipped onto a hole that you have to drill yourself, there are no ready made clamps on the market (that are any good). That allows you to run the drogue rope through the 2 clips (the 2 rope ends are clipped together) and slide it one way or the other to adjust the direction the boat is drifting. Very effective and allows much more control of the boat. Tight lines - Nick.

@@FanaticalFlyFishing Thanks Nick - I had a day out with Tim Joyce and he had an identical set up, but I forgot to ask him whether the holes were self drilled - which they obviously were.. I can’t remember if he said that clipping the 2 drogue ropes together so that you can slide the drogue ropes one way or another, was comp legal or not???

It is perfectly legal in a comp Mathew. One thing though, when you move the boat you must secure the middle joint to the rowlock to stop it from sliding or it billows at the back of the boat and stops you from moving forward - either that or bring it inboard to move the boat. Cheers.

That isn't gin clear water..
