Brilliant. You make it look so easy. One day perhaps! Thanks for all the videos.

I think I’ve just learned more from this video than anywhere else. Short rest and cast to another lane, the retrieval patterns and speeds for various flies, the areas you’re casting etc, etc. thank you!

Another cracking video Rhys. I have never fished this water, but that will change this year. We have got a good few waters up north we are looking at doing. The boys, Paul and Justin was up there last week in the comp and managed third place. Looking forward to the next video mate. Take care Rhys. Shaun.

I’ve just got back from a days fishing myself a Rhys vid is the Best way to end a Sunday. Washing line was lethal for me today. Black Fritz fab on the point and then combo of buzzers, diawl Bachs and Cormies at 4ft apart. 21 to the bank and lost a few good ones. I hadn’t even tried the washing line till I started watching your vids last year

Hi Rhys, As always a great video and I've learned a great deal again! I've been trying to fish the washing-line lately but I'm having no success. The water is a medium sized resie, about 15ac, with bank access only. I've been using about a 12-15ft leader with two epoxy buzzers and a DB then a booby on the point. I've been fishing them fairly static, but having no success! I notice you aren't using buzzers here, and are figure eighting the flies back, am I fishing things too slow? Should I drop the buzzers and change to something like the cormorant? I know it's been a pretty hot month so that might explain things, but I'd like some advice! Thanks, Johnny

Rhys great video. but can you tell us what month off the year each fishing trip venue please. because some flies are better than others in Summer, and so on. cheers

This was the 12ft slow (old version). It's no different to the new version in terms of how it behaves, more of a rebranding thing I think Wayne.

Great video again Rhys. There's nothing better than catching trout on the dry. Was that video done last year Rhys as I noticed that the old cabin was in the background.? Hope to get up there again next week at some point. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Hi Rhys, would you do the same 7 second recast tactic on small stillwaters as well? Been trying to figure out how I should approach them with dries as the weather is getting warmer.

@RhysFishes

Жыл бұрын

No. Small Stillwater’s are about leaving the fly there for 3/5 minutes. Reservoir trout are far easier to tempt and you have more water to cover on a large resi.

Rhys, is there any particular reason you fished a 7wt on the nymph in rod, rather than a 6wt to match the dries rod? I’m looking to switch to the vision stillmaniac but want to cover the dries and nymphs with just the one rod.

@jameswilson6717

2 жыл бұрын

I have the stillmaniac 9’6 7 wt love it I’m actually looking to purchase another now because all my other fly rods just don’t feel the same in the hand anymore the handles on the vision rods are nice and slim.All the very best

@RhysFishes

2 жыл бұрын

I'll be honest, I didn't like the Reddinton on this day. It's a rod better suited to the bung than the washing line. However part of the reason choosing a 7wt over a 6wt was to help with casting further and turnover. With the 6wt I'm fishing very short (12ft of fly line outside the tip at best) so a 6wt with it's softness is ideal.

My favourite fly is THE BLOB

Do you recommend using fly clips im a beginner thanks

@RhysFishes

2 жыл бұрын

Personally, I would stay away from them and learn the fundamentals of tying knots and leader length. You'll catch more fish without fly clips.

Great video. I’m a beginner and find that if I use two or more flies on droppers I get a lot of tangles. Any tips to avoid these?

@RhysFishes

2 жыл бұрын

Ensure that you have enough space between them. As someone going from a 1 fly cast to 2. I’d recommend getting comfortable with 1 fly on a 12ft leader. Then introduce a dropper at 6ft. Fish like that for a few weeks/months until it becomes second nature then gradually fish a longer line with 2 flies (15ft for example). After an extended period then you can introduce 3 flies at 5ft intervals 👍

You’ve got llyn fawr up that way, it’s a stocked fishery near Brecon. Quite big, but plenty of fish in it. It does now have a zip wire above it but it doesn’t affect the fishing much, just spoils the scenery a bit. Worth a visit 👍

@RhysFishes

The key is to stare at the general direction of your flies. on Smaller waters I fish flies that are soo small you'd never see them, but just keeping your eyesight in the general vicinity will be enough to spot those subtle takes.
