Where would I find a decent spot to fish?,,,, I do many types of fishing from sea to bait etc.. Recently started fly fishing and find it very rewarding but have only fished Lockwood beck… But would love to try the river any pointers on location? I have asked but of all the people I have fished with I must admit fly fisherman seem to be the most unhelpful or is it just the ones I talk too?
Hi Jonathan great videos, I couldn't help but notice you don't catch many salmon par. I fish the river South Tyne and the Tees and South Tyne are almost like brothers, I fish for salmon and sea trout, but tend to fish for brown trout also as dry fly fishing in my opinion is the most enjoyable. I don't catch many brown trout, just a lot of salmon par so why is it that these rivers are so close and brother like that you have a lot more brown trout ? From my own knowledge lead mines run into the river and wiped out the brown trout population but surely the river should be on the mend now ? The tees runs up a moor I live near and I'm sure (but not certain) that the tees was poisoned. I'm hoping you may be able to shed some light onto why we get more salmon par on the South Tyne and you get more brown trout on the Tees ?
Color will spook fish, yes. If you're having trouble spooking fish with that bright line color, I would suggest coloring it a dark green or brown color with a permanent marker. It should cover most of the color up, but some will wash off. Good luck to you.
Great Job and Nice Videos Jonathan ,,, I have a question for you !
I Have an Orange line on my fly Road sometime it dose spook the Rainbows and sometimes it work great … do you thing is the color orange is a problem ???
Thanks

Nice video! Do you ever do any soft hackle, wet fly fishing?
You really need to get a remote microphone so we can hear you when you are away from the camera. Web search for "wireless microphone."
Nice video – good techniques.
Great video as always!
very nice!
I know that stretch 😉
Lovely water isnt it. I will hopefully be out for the grayling soon…
