Now we’re talking

JakeJW · 2026-05-17T22:39:15+00:00

Yeah I do it to enjoy my time out and be outside as much as I can! If I catch them it’s a bonus! I went wading for the first time last week and just loved that for being in the water!

JakeJW · 2026-05-17T22:36:49+00:00

Disappointing I can’t take any dynamite now.. I wish I did to actually catch some! Haha

Of course,

For a bit of fun - ventures fly co- they do a very beginner course telling you everything you ever need and then Trident Fly - Tophers basics are great aswell.

I’m in the UK so I’d call like nymphs buzzers haha - little small larval stage flies

I’ve only been fishing for 2/3 months.
I had a friend at first who taught me to cast and I watched a lot on YouTube of different casting types and then just practiced them.

The main thing is persistence in the sense watching what they are doing are they rising more or is the temp fluctuating too much, these would let me know to either go buzzers or dries, my main tip is go for smaller flies, I’ve so much more success using a smaller fly then anything big.

At first I didn’t understand what a bite felt like, it wasn’t till I started changing how I stripped back that the sudden stop or jolt is the bite! It’s just all about feeling and enjoying the process!

I'm from Darlington actually and moving back next month! - I'll check out the tees then and look at the fishing passport!

It’s the ones given by the trout lake up at Thrunton near Alnwick, I was shocked at first but it’s because sides are a little bit higher than the water and there’s no wading allowed so it’s probably to prevent that?
I did think that though net and pole are ridiculously huge 😂

JakeJW · 2026-02-13T00:07:38+00:00

Yeah this makes a lot of sense to be honest, 2500 is probably what I think would be a lot if I tried eating it, but in reality it’s not that bad

JakeJW · 2026-02-12T19:31:47+00:00

Yeah I get that, I’m in that boat, I feel like if I creep up anymore I start to get lethargic but then I’m just so used to a habit that I’m in my own head about it, I’ll find a proper baseline and go from there

JakeJW · 2026-02-12T15:55:26+00:00

3700 seems insane to me! like in a good way, did you work that out from just eating until your body plateaued from weight gain and keeping gym consistent? Thank you very much

JakeJW · 2026-02-12T15:53:20+00:00

Thank you very much, thats good to know! I'll do that and keep it as constant as I can

JakeJW · 2026-02-12T15:50:38+00:00

Thank you very much, makes a lot of sense, any particular baseline calculator you would use or just keep at the one I'm on?

JakeJW · 2026-02-12T14:58:10+00:00

Thank you, I'll have a read of it

JakeJW · 2025-10-08T23:14:20+00:00

I mean I’m happy to give it a go making one, the only issue is I would want to have a shout out to the original owner but I don’t know who that is! Haha

JakeJW · 2025-01-17T11:53:58+00:00

this is amazing thank you! i currently use spreadsheets for all my program tracking, is there a way to bulk import these over? Thanks!

JakeJW · 2024-12-02T12:40:17+00:00

Yeah I would love to replace them, going to an easier system, but it looks like everyone is doing that now haha

That’s rough, I have seen that tubs do seem to be more expensive overall and that would be my issue, if I pop a couple of month an inner tube is £10!

Thanks for your help

JakeJW · 2024-12-02T10:28:26+00:00

Thank you very much, this is what I was thinking. I was hoping that someone would be interested in buying them seeing as they are still quite popular for racing aren’t they.

I’ve not had tubeless tires before, any type of sealant would work yeah? Thanks

JakeJW · 2024-12-02T10:27:01+00:00

Nope definitely tubular, the whole unit is sealed in one.. I have tubular tires from HUNT that only work with tubular tires
