 In this video I'm going to be fly fishing for Wild Brown Trout. It's the fifth of May. I'm on a talkstream in Dorset It's been much warmer, but there's a nice southerly breeze, but again, it's quite windy. It's coming downstream So maybe there's a chance to catch on a dry fly. Yeah I'm gonna give it a go because the only two Wild Brown Trout I've caught this season are both phenol nymphs That's what I caught the last two fish on. It's lovely seeing the rise. I'm gonna give it a go So there's my fly Fly fishermen call them olives. I don't know why they basically just mean may fly which is an up-wing fly It's all prehistoric really. You can see one or two flies tapping down on the water to lay eggs And it's like seasons begun properly Shelter in there so when people say may fly once you've caught one or two little ones you run You want to sort of hang a fly into Catch a big one and for that you need to spot them Hiding behind this bush And just hopefully in theory, I should have got quite close to the fish. Time to change the fly, I think. So what? That's the only pattern I've got. It's a great big gray wolf and it's a flies online or cheapest chip 60p bay job But it's nice and bushy, nice and buoyant Early season the fish weren't care. I'm sure as they've only just started to carve the water Good grief. It's enormous So you're gonna fish the water and just cast in spots where you think there will be fish Or you can fish for fish when they top But we're being so early season. I think I'm probably gonna have to do the former It's often these little Sallow bits that I used to ignore that you get some of the bigger fish Just so well camouflaged these faster bits of water bigger fish can handle a current a little bit better and often bits they often are areas that get ignored by Anglers The fish as they've grown on a bit in their eating minerals More bothered about cover than they are anything else. There you go. Oh It's a good fish that has done me Isn't the weed I'm gonna get that out. No, there is Isn't that funny? That's the fly to the net All the net no one small bit prount trout. Right, so the idea of that gray wolf Which had on earlier is that it's meant to be unsinkable Big old flying It's now waterlogged finally, so I'm gonna put this on This is um, just use the city hat. Yeah, there's a sherry spinner. That's something on now A little bit more sparsely dressed and I thought if I can tie that then anyone can I did a little video It was a nice rise really nice rise. I forgot that on camera or not. I was just about so I really like these types of Rumps of water because They're moving at a pace where I don't send a bow wave upstream. It's a nice challenging cast as well It's a black body Silver thread Not much of a thorax and some CDC wing Didn't think I was gonna catch that fish One beautiful plump trout Now we're getting back in Rising is just underneath this tree I might have spooked him already but Feeding quite aggressively Not sure I'm gonna put a cast in This beast is a mahecan mayfly I can use that I've got no back cast Back to the full cast It's my kind of splash especially in slack water like that. It's such a heavy fly. There we go Hey, what a lively fish you crazy fool
