Video: Tying a Leadwing Coachman

A great choice for drifting or swinging in cold weather, the Leadwing Coachman can imitate a variety of drowned or emerging insects, from caddisflies to mayflies.  While winged wet flies were out of use for some years, they have been rediscovered, mainly because they catch so many trout, are easy, and are so much fun to fish.  Matt Grobert demonstrates how to tie the classic wet fly on a Dai Riki size 12 dry fly hook.

Upper Crust

Well I managed to snatch a few hours at weekend. The normal story of a busy morning, a quick phone call, chuck some stuff in the boot and a dash down the motorway followed. Arriving with limited time but the hope of at least watching until the float disapears once or twice. Even better that the thing making that little red tip vanish is a fishy critter helps me through the week. The thing is I often reguard the lower river as well…… not really a river. It’s slower deaper, wider and more populated banks are in the main avoided by me. You may say it’s a bit snobby, but I like to escape from people when I get the chance. Not the ones who have the same thoughts on angling as I do, as I now often fish in company. We often talk all the way to the river, then a hour or two can pass without a word. The odd decent fish, a bit of advice or a quick bite and drink is the other time for words until the journey home. The journey to the river is often spent talking fish. “Oh you should have seen the amount of Dace, Chub and Roach on the Ribble when I was a kid” is my normal line. ” Not many 4lb Chub then but you could catch one after another”. Now the thing is the lower river is now just like the old days… Full of fish!! So even though my “upper crust” fishing ways are part of my ethos the chance to run a float down stream and that run often ends in a fish is just to good to miss! So to the fishing, I now have a constant supply of dried out bread, as the Mrs would tell you “It’s hung up in bags all over” It works and like all things with a bit of practice and advise I now have a good set up. The best place to get advice is other anglers, now you may like all, some or none of what they say but the thing is with the blogs that people keep it’s easy and free. One bit of advice on bread from I think idlers quest? was all about punched bread, well it works for me its quick, easy, cheap and doesall I need it to….. catches fish!! I would suggest you take a look. I had maggots and started off with them but after ten minutes of no bites I switched to bread…….. good move every run seemed to result in a fish, nothing big most Chub from a 1.5lb to 2lb enough to get mewanting more…… Oh and that 2lb Roach!!! Pete did catch a few fat Dace, once it had gone dark!! This is my favourite picture of Pete for obvious reasons.
