Ash Cook Fly Fishing Channel

Ash Cook Fly Fishing Channel

Hi all. This is my fly fishing channel which will cover my fishing journey. Also some fly tying and set up tips and tricks that I have picked up on the way. I fish for trout, grayling and salmon mainly in Yorkshire and Cumbria. I have also had a few away trips to Scotland and Wales.
Hopefully these videos will be relatable and make you guys smile as much as they made me whilst making them. Instagram: ashflyfishing

    You could use anything really. Sometimes I buy a cheap paintbrush and use two fibres from it to make a tail 👍

    Great tutorial Ash! I like the rough headstreams myself for dry fly when it's low, and on the small streams I fish its where you'll often find that bonus bigger trout. Have to say, 15 ft is about the max leader I can cope with without tangling every other cast! Could be my crap casting though 😂 great stuff👍

    Well done Ash! It's good to see local NW folks on you tube! Long shot, ribble springer! But great video nonetheless! I tend to just fish for trout and coarse fish these days, I never had the patience for all the blanking involved with salmon fishing, even in the good old days 😂 You've inspired me, I've just returned from a holiday in Sutherland, I fished the Kyle and Dornoch firth for saltwater sea trout and blanked. I've some lovely footage of the scenery so I'm not going to waste it, I'll get a video out of the trip!!😊 Subbed 👍

    fished it loads of times there, had one at Hodder foot pool and one just before Calder foot, its a bit to early yet to be that far up the ribble, they don't usually show up there until the end of may early June or even later in some seasons. anyways its a beautiful place to be fishing regardless if you don't get a fish, tight lines for the rest of the season.

    Fished that beat mebby a dozen times, apart from trout allus blanked, never had a bad day tho. You got to love fishin to be Salmon fisher, catching comes second. Ya Heart beats best on the river bank. Blanked on Ure yesterday, magic day, bit windy for my liking tho. Nice film👏🎣

    @AboveAverageAngler but when you do get one all the blank days are soon forgotten, it's the best feeling when you bend into a salmon but your heart sinks when they throw the hook

    Brilliant tips mate! Here's one from me... when there's no fish rising put a dry fly on the point, then add six more of the same pattern on droppers. It'll look like a hatch has started and the fish will start feeding. It must be the same pattern though otherwise it will just confuse the fish about what's hatching off. Thank me later 👍😁
