Fly Fishing for Rainbow Trout at Wimbleball Resevoir, Bonus Dry Fly Action! - May 2024

Published 2024-05-19
Fly fishing for the wild brown trout of the River Exe is out, rain and cold weather has stopped that. So I went to Wimbleball to hopefully fill the freezer with some rainbow trout and maybe to do a bit of catch and release. Despite the cold, I was even able to use a dry fly!

    Seems like you had a great days fishing 🎣, I’m going to pay visit as my parents live down in Exeter, thanks for the video. Fly fishing 🎣 is so addictive, I sense your passion for it, especially catching off the top.

    My favourite fishery (alongside Chew Valley). Nice days sport you had there.

    As a newby, I learnt a lot from that one: line / fly / tactic. That is always helpful, thanks for sharing.

    Going to have to give the lake a go. I’m primarily a dry fly angler and fish Colliford for the browns so to see the bows munching drys was good.

    Thanks for sharing - it is good to fight a fish on the reel once in awhile ( I fish very small streams for small native brookies most of the time)
