Interesting few videos - where about last was he fishing? Back end looks like midge city. I was expecting hitch and sunray but all regular flies by the looks of it. Need some videos of you in action Loxie to see how this hitching / skated dry fly is done!😀

 

I fear my swearing would be hard to broadcast!

if you get in to his stuff he almost always has a muddler or similar on the dropper. Yes the midges bring back horrific memories. There is always a price to pay!!

 

His videos are good. I like the absence of comments. Some great spots.

 

whereabouts is he fishing and is it bookable or dead man’s shoes? Would love to give a river like that a shot.

 

He doesn't give details of where he fishes BUT bits I recognise include the Dionard and the Oykel. I think some of it was also the Inver and the Kirkaig. There are other bits I don't know. The Oykel is a bit hard to access unless you are an owner, which I suspect is a big clue to his identity as he seems to have almost unlimited access to both Upper and Lower almost all season. The Kirkaig and Inver can be accesed through Ossian, the Dionard through Gaulin estate and for the Oykel I believe there is a website but Steven Mackenzie is the man to talk to, but don't hold your breath!! The rest I don't know.

 

he also shows just how fast you should fish

I was exhausted after 5 mins of watching him. 🫣

Reminded me of a guy who raced around one of the small stillwaters I used to haunt.

I felt quite vindicated when I found this.

 

I've watched him for a while, love the ones he's on the boat casting to where the river is flowing into the loch, looks great fun.

 

I would love to know how much actual fishing time he does to catch as many fish. He does make it seem a bit easy at times!

 

If you know a river and can choose your time we all know it’s like falling off a log.

 

I would love a few days with him, i think i would pick a few things up from him But without the midges.

 

Been watching his videos since last year sometime. The size of the rivers and the way he fishes are very reminiscent of our local rivers here on the east coast of Newfoundland though there are times I think to myself “use a Bomber” when he’s casting wets into perfect dead drift dry fly water. He also uses the same rod as I do most of the time, a 9 1/2 foot Hardy NSX Ultralite.

 

Im yet to hear or see anybody in Scotland catching salmon on a dead drift bomber or the like. I was hoping to try it this last summer but the condition weren’t right. One day 😀

 

Really good channel. He does some serious work with the single handed rod, nice to see! I also quite like how mobile he stays, which is something I try to do myself, in the belief that there aren't enough salmon in the river these days to assume I'm covering them unless I keep moving.

 

Been watching his channel for a wee while now, he certainly knows how to catch on the rivers he fishes.

 

Been watching him a good while ..... The Single Hander he uses certainly handle's the fish. A Hardy but not sure which one. Excellent videos but the midges made me itch just watching the latest one

 

The rod is a Hardy Ultralite NSX. Mine is a 9 1/2 foot 8 wt. and it has easily handled fish of 20+lbs.. Very capable rod and a pleasure to cast.

 

I've been following him since he first appeared on youtube. Good no frills fishing , shows how working a fly is so effective. One of the best contributers just now .

 

I have also been watching him for a while good videos and great fishing!!!!!!!!!
