Sledge Fly Fishing

Sledge Fly Fishing

Hello and welcome to my KZread channel. These are my trips to local and not so local still water fly fishing venues. I am normally joined by a few friends, and we normally like to go to catch and keep fisheries where we can take those lovely trout home for dinner, I do like my pan-fried trout and the dogs love the skin :-) it’s a family affair. We try and get out fishing as often as we can and try to make a day of it. It’s great to spend time with the guys by the water chewing the fat and keeping an eye out for those fish. I hope you like my videos, please comment, like and subscribe as this not only helps my channel but also the fisheries that we visit and I’m sure that if you haven’t been to any of them, they would like you to visit in the near Future, If you know of any fisheries that could be worth a visit, then please leave a comment, and thanks again.
Any constructive criticism would be very grateful. Tight lines and may the fish be with you @sledgeflyfishing

    Great video as always, “It’s in the Net” Recently went 5# myself but needed a 2nd rod so too out the Aydon (seen on your videos), Nymphmaniac and the new Greys Wing. Well in the end it was a hard choice between the Aydon and the wing but the Aydon just felt more right for me. Thank you for bringing them to my attention. Taking her out for a live test run at Frensham next week 🥳🥳

    I've been very impressed with the Aydon. It has to be the best rod I've had. The guys I go with keep borrowing it and they love it too. All the best for Frensham, I've only been once but need to go again. They have soom nice browns in their.

  • @sledgeflyfishing
    @sledgeflyfishing2 ай бұрын

    Hi, depending on the water you fish, you will be able to catch all year round, but your catch rate could start to go down as the water warms up and natural food increases. A lot of fish will start to go for the smaller more abundant food, so might be woth keeping some smaller flies on you 👍

    @@sledgeflyfishing thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with me..I'm still a novice butt I can't believe I catch when even when the water is abundant wi life .I was wondering if it maybe triggered a bite just as an annoyance factor

  • @sledgeflyfishing
    @sledgeflyfishing2 ай бұрын

    Absolutely works annoying the fish. They're teratorial and can get aggressive, but warmer water has less oxygen and the fish are less active and they don't like the chase so much. If you fish in warmer summer waters, you'll notice the fish slowing down, just cruising, with the mouth going just picking up food that's hovering by, this is ware a small buzzer, spider type fly becomes the goto, and its always handy to have some floating fly's like a top hat buzzer or beatles handy. If your water is cooler and maybe spring fed you'll do well all year,
