Thanks man, that’s the whole idea behind the river videos, everyone can relate to them 👌🎣😄

Great video! You pulled heaps of fish from a tiny stream I wouldn’t have held any trout at all. Although some of the fish were just a little bigger than the lures we use to fish for trout here in NZ :). I’ve recently bought an ultra light and I’ll be using your techniques. Love the short casts, the quick bail arm closure, and the speed of the retrieve.

Great video Senan. Loads of honest tips.

Very enjoyable content that's for sure. Thank you.

Still here, and it's tirty tree up to now! :)

Love your video's. Savage gear makes some beautiful rods. And thise mepps... awesome.

Simple class fishing ,so enjoyable to watch.

Great video thanks for sharing, subscribed 👍🏻

Co. Derry and love the vids man keep up the good work

Still watching when you said! Only just started trout spinning in my local river. Usually a shore angler! Thanks for all the tips!

Thanks John! Was a fun session ☺️🤝

Another class video Senan, I watch most of your videos to the end. The wild brown trout videos are the best 👌 some I've watched a few times 🤣. Fishing for trout on rivers with ultra light gear is my favourite, size 2 silver mepps with blue dots are my go to. Keep these videos coming, there great inspiration 👏

Senan great video went out for the day on my local river in Co Down, then home to see this new video 🎉, obviously conditions where good in most of Ireland then yesterday. The mepps never fail, I’ve really took to Abu Garcia reflex spinner only draw back it’s 7g but all size of trout seem to hit it. 16 inch to 6 inch trout on it yesterday. Great colour selection tho

I've been having an absolute blast catching a ton of trout on small rivers with mepps, inspired by your vids. I only use size 2 ones now though, i find you're less likely to end up with a fish with the three hooks stuck in its mouth, which can be annoying to deal with. Have caught lots of TINY trout on a size 2 though, doesnt seem to faze them 😂

Good stuff I’m glad you’ve been getting out 😄💪 once it’s working for you that’s the main thing, it’s funny I actually caught my biggest river trout a few years ago on the size 0 Mepps , tiny spinner, but the big trout wanted it!

Can you do a video in the next couple of weeks about fishing the mayfly from the boat? My first season taking up the fly fishing so would appreciate any advice

Just found your channel and subbed, 👍,, How would you compare these lures to the Abu Droppen,?? I've just returned to fishing after many years, and I've decided to go with the ultra light trout area style to begin with,, I'm a pensioner so funds are tight,, Great video,, thank you from West Yorkshire..

Hi from wales Senan 👍🏻 big thank you for your vids mate, I love the simplicity of your style and setup. I’ve just reviewed my diawa ninja and am currently waiting on my SG4 to arrive in the post so you should be on commission!! If it’s not too much trouble would you able to do a video on your full setup showing everything from leader length, which knots you use on your swivels, size of swivels etc? As a complete novice there are few places you can go to get a start to finish guide from someone’s opinion you trust, most anglers assume you know the basics and skip over a lot of the stuff is beginners struggle with! I lost 4 comments yesterday because my braid to flouro knot wouldn’t hold up so maybe swivels is the way forward!

Is their any specific reason why you use braid instead of ordinary fishing line and also the reason for your flurocarbon leader 👍

@benox345

15 күн бұрын

The usual reasons are: braid is thinner vs mono (for the same strength), so can cast further; also braid is less stretchy, so for some lure fishing you can feel bites better; though for trout spinning this wouldn't make a difference. The fluorocarbon is to reduce visibility of the line (same refractive index as water), it is also more abrasion resistant, so isn't damaged as much when it comes into contact with rocks/snags on the bottom.

Cracking trout the colors are unreal .just aftr going tru the spinner box and found 3 mepps size 1 and mepps thunder bug size 0.Bud do u think it's batter useing swivel to leader .senan what size swivel u use on your leader line.i have sonik lite tec rod 1./8gm 1000 reel .ten lb braid and 7lb leader bud u think it's bit of havey. Cracking trout stream.srry abt spelling.

@senanstanleyfishing

2 ай бұрын

Don’t worry about the spelling man we’re fishermen not poets 😁🤝 ya that will work fine, the swivel to the braid and leader helps the spinner to spin better, I’d recommend using a small swivel! I don’t use the swivel if I’m using wobbler style lures tho.

@yep.ultralight braid to micro swivel to 50cm of 6lb fleurocarbon tied directly to spinner with no snap ☺️ is best for spinners. For wobblers, I attach the wobbler using a micro snap.

Why do you use the fluorocarbon leader and not just tie straight to the braid

@senanstanleyfishing

2 ай бұрын

Fleurocarbon has a good abrasive resistance to rocks, braid would get sliced straight off if it touched a sharp stone in the river while being used alone. Fleuro is also invisible underwater, vital for clear water trout fishing.

Great video mate, really useful tips, nice 20 mins while the mrs is in the shops … In situations when you don’t have your waders mate, do you find it more difficult to keep on the move? Just I don’t have waders and somewhere as shallow 😢

@senanstanleyfishing

2 ай бұрын

It’s still possible to fish this style from the river bank, but it’s very good for the spinner to keep the rod tip parallel to the water, the spinner spins are the ideal angle for the fish to come after it, obviously access points are an issue when on the bank though, it just means more walking ☺️

In terms of lures mate, I’d advise you get a bluefox minnow super vibrax no2, they are cracking!

@@senanstanleyfishing Have you tried switching to barbless singles though? There was a moment in this video 4:50 where one point of the treble was caught in the net and another in the fish. Not having the crush the barbs means the hooks last longer (don't rust where the barb was), and the point can penetrate more easily than with the crushed barb.

Can't see the point in spinning for tiny little trout. It can not be good for any river or for the trout for that matter. Small hungry trout will pull anything no skill needed. I would not class this as fishing just sad really.
