Fly Fishing Podcast - Fishing The Duo

In this episode David ventures back on to the river as the trout season draws to a close. After a recent big lift of water, conditions looked prime. Torn between taking the dry outfit or the nymphing gear, he opts for the Euro nymphing setup – but will it pay off? David shares how he approached the freshened flows, reading the water, and why staying in touch with the flies is the key to feeling those subtle end-of-season takes from trout and grayling.

In this episode David is saltwater fly fishing in Anglesey. It's an overcast day and the water is clear, perfect for exploring the rocky coastline with a fly rod. Bass are prowling the surf, pollack are lying deep in the kelp beds, and shoals of mackerel could turn up at any moment. Join David as he talks through fly choice, presentation, and the excitement of hooking powerful saltwater fish on light tackle. It's about the fishing, the coastal wildlife, and the feeling of standing in the tide with the chance of a wild fish gracing the line!
