Bass On The Fly | Saltwater Fly Fishing UK | South Coast Bass Fishing

Fishing this year has revolved mainly around my obsession for Saltwater Fly Fishing. It’s on my doorstep, it’s challenging and it’s great fun. The fishing in this video really demonstrates that, I don’t catch anything huge, but bass have a habit of taking you by surprise and nothing gets the adrenaline going more than a topwater smash! I get caught off guard in perfectly still conditions at dawn as well as in the midst of a hive of fish activity in heavy flow.

The two sessions in this video are nearly a month apart, in that time I have been trying to catch my second mullet on the fly which is proving to be a tough one! I also had a trip to Dartmoor for 2 days with my dad for my birthday and we caught a few nice wild brown trout from Fernworthy Reservoir and the Upper Teign.

Shout out to my mate Paul Bentley, who caught a really nice fish when we were out together in May, there’s a clip of him playing the fish and of it in the net in the video. You can find him on Youtube – @Pablofishes Instagram – @pablofishes.uk

So I am really trying to get a mullet video out, I started making it in March and hopefully my spots from last year where they were in numbers will start to produce again. But I also have a goal for this year of a fly caught 50CM+ bass, my first fish of the season was really close and set my new PB so I’m hoping it’s just a matter of time.

It will be interesting to see what happens next, so tight lines! And I’ll see you in the next one.
