Hidden Woodland Stream Has Big Fish! New PB?!

Published 2022-09-14
Well this was a really exciting session exploring a hidden woodland stream / creek. The aim of this session was to wade up river in the hope of getting to some spot you cant get to from the bank and hopefully find some fish. The target species being chub, perch and possibly pike. Using baits like spinners and jerkbaits. It ended up being one of my best session of the year! Not only did I catch loads of fish, they were all really big. I even managed a new PB!

  • Believe it or not this little river was actually running off from a minor flood, so it was a foot or two higher than usual. That could be why the fish were so active. The last swim where I was catching those chub usually runs just a few inches deep! As usual thank you guys for the support! Its crazy to think that in just a couple of weeks I could be at 100k subs!
  • I last fished at the age of 13yrs old, my life has always been firmly entrenched with nature though - and now professionally as a filmmaker. I'm a little on my back foot with fishermen that I meet as most, knowing my penchant for the whole bag, tend to start demonising otter and cormorant within a minute or two. I don't know your opinions, nor do I want to as you've just given me 20mins of happiness being on a wild tributary and seeing the most beautiful of specimens across the board (loved that Perch). You're clearly a lover of life and show great care - thanks for the experience (and bringing back a few memories). Si.
  • You are one of the last dinos having fun without the echo and all the commercial stuff. Love it. Hi5 from Poland!
  • In terms of methods, quality, variety of species and time frame, I think this is probably the best fishing session I have seen on any freshwater fishing channel

    I was long trotting with red maggot on the River Alyn on Wednesday afternoon in the sunshine, stood in the middle of it ( 3ft deep) in my chest waders pulling nice Grayling, Chub and Brownies out for fun, it was epic and great to be out and about, getting back out up the bank is always the "fun" bit 😂😂, lovely vid dude 👍
  • @DjayxJW
    Never caught a Brownie before but if any video was gonna make me go out in search of one, its this video. What a beautiful fish.
  • Memories. I used to do exactly what you did here on a local stream near me called the sow nr Eccleshall in staffs. Used to catch perch that size and chub, not quite as big. Unfortunately, due to dodgy legs, I'm unable to keep it up. Your vid was fantastic. I think I was watching with a stupid grin on my chops.😆
  • That was a great watch and that brownie at the end, what a bonus 👍
  • @datpat64
    That's a great size wild brown. It's great to know there are still streams / small rivers like this where you can get such stunning sport. Dream session !
  • Another great video and cracking fish thank you for sharing again
  • That is a big old wild trout you caught,I've only ever caught one of similar size I couldn't get the smile of my face for hours afterwards. You had a session some of us could only dream of well done and thanks for sharing
