I can't go fishing right now due to a motorcycle accident so I'm fishing vicariously through people like you, Carl and the Snagged Bros, so thank you for helping to get me through the last 5 months
Nothing but respect for anglers like you, using the single hooks instead of the trebles, putting the fish's well being first even when that means less captures, respect!
I posted a picture of my local river where they've been pulling up behind the supermarket and dumping everything from mattresses to full beds entire house clearances it's an absolute disgrace what some scumbags do to the rivers. Cheers for highlighting it chris😢
Yup, scumbags like the private water corporations who keep increasing prices for their services, while simultaneously polluting the waterways...and raking in huge profits for their shareholders and executives. At the same time government is closing recycling plants and municipal dumps, and the private waste disposal companies are charging extortionate prices for their facilities.
My husband doesn't fish often but when he does wow he can fish!!! He watches you fishing and the excitement he feels I wish i could can it up and give it out for free!!!
Brilliant brilliant shows mate.... Look forward to seeing a lot more..... I much prefer seeing our sport stripped back and using the very basics. Instead of all the branding and kits on display for advertising only. I like how you explain little tips as well. Keep up the fantastic work.......
you should inform the local river trust to go move that moped out the river before its oils and chemicals leak in the river, just a thought, great video as always keep them coming 😃
Love the video , as a fan of the legend John Wilson MBE RIP! you can be the next John Wilson! Your definitely going in the right direction. You deserve a fishing deal so you can fish the world so we as the viewer can enjoy more stuff from you. I love what your doing anyway mate Respect! Jc
Wilson was a legend. If you can find his autobiography, it's brilliant. He was a hairdresser on cruise ships before finding his true calling. I never would've guessed.
@@bernardcribbins7083 Haha Yes, short back and sides please John, and careful with the ears! A man with many talents was Mr Wilson. He did a stint in the merchant navy too. I had a signed copy of John's autobiography but I've missed placed it through moving so many times, I'll have to search for another one. RIP JOHN WILSON OUR ANGLING LEGEND. Respect 👍 Jc
Iv trout fished for years and always have the hook on the rear facing down for the hookup. Trout have really boney mouths too and depending how rocky your river is and how tight your fishing, you'd be supprised how quickly the hooks blunt too much to hook efficently too. I always keep an oring tool and spare hooks with me. Iv gone smaller on the hook too, as sometimes you can foul hook to the eye if there too long. I'd say I get about 70-80% of my hooks too. I only use smaller spinners and lures though. Great video as always, you always have the best fishing content.
I always feel I'm wasting time saying this here... But I was fifteen or so fishing my first match. Sandford mill on twyford and district. Caught one minnow, and enormous skinny browntrout. Won a landing net. I wasn't allowed to keep trout😅 A minnow won me my best prize Eva. 👍
Great start to the trout season! The embankment is eroding more and more each year on the river I fish and exposing rubbish oddly enough where there is a farm, can only assume some farmers over the years had dumped and cover rubbish and now its beginning to become visible. Such ashame to see. I think us wild fishermen spot see these problems more than regular folk, people don't realise the impact these problems have on our rivers.
We need more trout fishing videos this season 😂. Today I went fly fishing with streamers and had a few brownies. Would love to see you fly fishing for trout 😁. Have a good one Chris!!
We use a barless single hook only here in Canada BC. It is easier to release a trout. I have a lot of success with a spinner bait called a roaster tail. Strongly recommend. Good luck fishing.
Trout have this way of slashing at the bait with their head. Often it is aggression rather than out and out feeding behaviour. With trebles it is common to foul hook them when they do that. Single hooks are definitely the way to go. Nice tip about the rear hook.
The brownies where I fish are darker with gold bellies and bright red spots along the sides. The trout you were catching were very silvery and look like the "slob" Trout we get in brackish water. Great video, thanks for the upload.👍
I was thinking one looked like it was turning into a sea trout, on the camera it looked silver with black spots, but the yellow under belly made me think it was definitely a trout.
Flytipping - same here. maybe not major junk like your plastic corpse and moped but bad enough. Thing is, the local authority's still not restored skip sites to full operation. Only open several days/week instead of every day. Now you must make an appointment with using a trailer and if the staff feel you're making too many trailer trips then you can be barred or classed as a business user and have to mega-pay to use the place. How many trips allowed? They refuse to say... It's like the council has decided to discourage skip site use for - what reason? Covid concerns can't be used as an excuse any more. So - people fly tip since rubbish still gets generated and is now harder to dispose of because of altered council policy. They can't have it both ways!
In the past many skip sites were council-run. Tories love to privatize any potential asset. Private 'recycling' plants tend to put profit before the environment. When they get too greedy, and the big corporations take over, prices go up, or sites that don't bring in enough money, simply close, putting the burden on other sites.
@@curmudgeon1933 This is Scotland. Ain't nothing Tory run up here... They're an endangered species. But not endangered enough in the view of many! Next big election is going to be a doozie as the SNP is now seen as a crowd of incompetents and money grabbers. Nothing new there say you? Fair enough....
Another great vid, I enjoy pretty much all of yours! And I‘m really looking forward to you competing at the YPC Bank this year, it‘s my favourite competition to watch and I‘ll be rooting for you even though I assume fishing the Dutch waters will be a challenge for you compared to your home turf but I think you‘ll figure it out !
Beautiful trouts. 🎉 It's jus sad to watch what's going on with rivers in UK in recent years. I work in Norway on contracts and I do fishing there. It's impossible to spot a single trash in Norway anywhere. UK river banks looks like .... 🗑️. sad ...but I do some fishing in UK as much as possible and there are some nice spots as well...I'm not good as you though 😂
Hello there, I've left a message on your previous video, where you caught the 21.8 Lb pike. Could you tell me which reel and line you were using on that session, please. with the Westin W4 rod Thanks
8:03 i think i know why he took it, last year i was pike fishing and fishes were really inactive and then i tried switching directions from which i was holding the rod (1-2m left to right) and had i bite i see that you also changed your direction a bit if you understand what im talking about
Hello Chris. Been watching your videos for a while. I’m new to lure fishing. I’m learning from your videos. Just figuring out what lures to use at what time on what water. There is a lot more to it than I 1st thought. I’m getting there tho thanks for the content 👍🏻
Fly-tippers are a nightmare...but save your real anger for the greedy privatized water companies that pollute with impunity, due to corrupt politicians, and backroom deals with lobbyists to deregulate environmental oversight...while still jacking up prices to increase already eye-watering profits.
For over 60 years all I've ever fished for is trout. It's a pity you're not up to fishing in that way, fly and nymph. I'd like to see that. Fishing for trout with spinners and jigs is just too easy. Trout are total suckers for spinners and lures which is why they're banned on trout fisheries. You could always tie (or get someone to tie) your own rat 'streamer' which would be an interesting challenge. I'll never forget the amazing success you had fly fishing for pike and I wonder what you might attract fishing a very big streamer in that urban trout water.
They're not banned for the most part in the US (there are some fly only waters, but they're the exception). In anything other than muddy waters a good fly fisherman can normally outfish a spin fisherman. And there are conditions in which a spin fisherman is totally helpless.
Rather you than me wading in a British river ..considering the news how much real sewage is being pumped into the rivers on a regular basis…take the Thames for example the E. coli levels is of the scale …
I just happened upon your channel today. I find it very interesting. I live in the USA, so many of the fish species are new to me. Man, your camera shots are awesome. This is the second video of yours I've watched. I did subscribe! Thanks for sharing. (You should start leaving what equipment your using in your description. It's especially interesting since a lot of it is different than what we can get locally here in the USA. (I've actually purchased my last two reels from Japan. My next combo will be SUL, and most likely from Japan also.) It's sad to see you have the same trash and debris problems there as we have here. I just don't understand most people and how they can totally disrespect the environment. Blessings!
Great video , i do a bit of this fishing up north ,interested in using single hooks , seems much better on the fish , may i ask the size that you use please
I love the fact that you catch and release, but once in awhile do you never keep a few to eat? Especially the perch. They to me are the best tasting fresh water fish. Anyways, love your channel. Thanks from Canada
those buildings in the background are unique. Everyone within 5 miles of that bit o water has been down there with nets dynamite and Symag.... that big fish was eaten.
Always wanted to fish for trout, but do you need a game license to fish out of season (river season) or does your standard course and trout fishing license cover you?
It's may for us on the isle of man but the sea trout run the estuary near my local river and I had a 5lb 80z sea trout 34 years ago at this time of year spinning in there.
I really do think all the YT Anglers need to get together and make a special each on the pollution in our rivers. Yourself, Carl, SnagBros and everyone else. At the end of the day. It has become a job or at least a means of income.
credit to you for going single hooks and barbless, too many people prioritise catching fish over fish welfare, if you ruin all the fish nobody gets to catch them some good fish in that wee stream, would be great on a fly but the overhead foliage would make it a nightmare!
Ive fished down that river before river ryton barely any accessible spots however some monster trouts can be caught in it especially by the side of the park and going towards kilton area Now i fish more often down the canal some great carp can be caught 7 to 8kg and some enormous perch can be caught especially in months like july and august.

Drone shots are epic mate! Somebody give this man a 6 series TV deal and send him around the world!!
I totally agree 👍👍👍
I agre to would be best fishing programe TV has ever seen
So I third your comment
👍🏴✌️😁
4th easily!!@@chopperhehehe
Would love to see you out doing a bit of LRF fishing in the sea
Great idea!

Couldn't agree more, well said that man.
It's sad to see how some people are ruining the planet, nice to see you catch some really fine trout.
In every Country
They have other priorities 🙄
Another Brexit benefit to get rid of those pesky EU sewage regulations, right ?
I learn a lot and loving my fishing again ......thank you.
I posted a picture of my local river where they've been pulling up behind the supermarket and dumping everything from mattresses to full beds entire house clearances it's an absolute disgrace what some scumbags do to the rivers. Cheers for highlighting it chris😢
Probably ignoring the "No Dumping" signs. They closed our local recycle dropoff because people were using it as dump.
Yup, scumbags like the private water corporations who keep increasing prices for their services, while simultaneously polluting the waterways...and raking in huge profits for their shareholders and executives. At the same time government is closing recycling plants and municipal dumps, and the private waste disposal companies are charging extortionate prices for their facilities.
Humanity is disgusting 😭😭
I hope you got there numbers mate
My husband doesn't fish often but when he does wow he can fish!!! He watches you fishing and the excitement he feels I wish i could can it up and give it out for free!!!
Props on wetting your hand before handling trout! Something I wish everyone knew and actually did.
Brilliant brilliant shows mate.... Look forward to seeing a lot more..... I much prefer seeing our sport stripped back and using the very basics. Instead of all the branding and kits on display for advertising only. I like how you explain little tips as well. Keep up the fantastic work.......

Love seeing you catch the browns. Those are always an unexpected treat, when I do reservoir fishing here in the Intermountain West U.S.
Iv trout fished for years and always have the hook on the rear facing down for the hookup.

My favourite type of fishing. Exploring streams with a small spinning rod to see what’s about. It’s the unknown that lures me.😊
My favourite season! Can't wait to get the fly rod out and catch some of these beauties!
Great video! 🎣
Those little tips are class Chris, shows why your this years champ 👍🏻
I always feel I'm wasting time saying this here...
But
I was fifteen or so fishing my first match. Sandford mill on twyford and district. Caught one minnow, and enormous skinny browntrout.
Won a landing net. I wasn't allowed to keep trout😅
A minnow won me my best prize Eva.
👍
Another goodie ,love the camera work . I loved the urban fishing .
These urban trout videos are pure class mate live them tight lines
A great session. You're fortunate to have access to such prolific, presumably syndicate or club owned waters and they aren't fly only.
The rivers of this country have been ruined by the water companies. And fly tippers ought to be jailed
Fantastic fishing as usual, missed these trout videos, looking forward to more!
Beautiful markings on the trout. I wasn't aware that brown trout lived in urban areas of rivers, another cracking video, many thanks 👍
That "polluted" stream looks better than most of the streams I have ever fished lol. Great stuff.
yeah dude these are just getting better and better, love to see how far you’ve come since the early duo days
Love your care of the fish brother 💯
Beautiful city slicker trout gracing the urban landscape
Good hook positioning strategy..
What a lovely video thanks Chris 👍🏼
Fishing never stops! 🔥 Let's get them beautiful Trout!
I typically fish for bass...but I love how beautiful trout are!

I've never seen a farmer visiting a tip. Have you 🤔
Nice to see those beautiful trout & thanks for the single hook idea.🎣
Well done cracking broonies Lordy from Scotland 🐟🎣🏴✌🏻

They still make thunder bugs over there ? I used to use them but they disappeared here in the states years ago ..
@@rosariocannistraro3561yeah mate we still get the bugs over here in europe, too many good lures get discontinued these day 😢
Great tip about the orientation of the backmhook on the hard bait. I’ll have to give it a try!

Strange how the bigger fish are in the urban area, I thought fishing pressure would have made it the opposite case! Great vid as always 🙌🏻
You copped a feel!! “I’ll tip her!!”🤣🤣🤣
Lure fishing for me for trout on singles is the safest way to fish them even vs the fly very low chance of killing them from deep hooking 👌
Awesome fishing and footage as always.

Yes 👍
Every holes a goal 😂😂 thought i was watchin brother Dom 😊
Beautiful trout and chub 😝

The idea of killing and eating a perch is totally alien to us here in the UK!

what hooks do you replace the trebles with?
Mr gingerfisher man , trout are a good looking fish .
Roughly what area of the country are you ?.
Good session.
I’m curious how these fish manage to survive given how finicky trout tend to be with their water conditions
great stuff man, you know your onions that's for sure
Always wanted to fish for trout, but do you need a game license to fish out of season (river season) or does your standard course and trout fishing license cover you?
Standard should cover you. I’d have a go but never seen any trout in the small rivers I fish.

My hooked my first pike today it came off then a hour later my misses hooked it and landed it was her first one 😂😂
Bro it’s closed season🤣
could have been on a canal or lake.

Was on a canal sorry forgot to say caught on a worm may I add

Good video mate. Please show us more of your setups in your videos
top video mate new sub loving the content keep up the great work
Would love to catch trout but there isn't any down in the waveney River in norfolk ,well as far as I know I don't think there are.
5:30 Chris acting like he just stumbled across that
Wonderful Chris.
I hope you de-barb or use barbless hooks also?
I am so jealous. Up here they are so picky with their food it is really hard to get them to bite on anything else then flies.
credit to you for going single hooks and barbless, too many people prioritise catching fish over fish welfare, if you ruin all the fish nobody gets to catch them
some good fish in that wee stream, would be great on a fly but the overhead foliage would make it a nightmare!
I went to the lakes in October years ago sea trout fishing got a massive fine i didnt know trout fishing had finished in September 😂😂😂😂😂
The rubbish is a big shame some people have no respect and no heart. Love the video and beautiful brown trout mate well done
whats rod do you have in arsenal and reels?
Is it time to go to snag bro garden swim and teach them how to fish 😂
Are you part of a syndicate? Never seen a free to fish trout stream.
Ive fished down that river before river ryton barely any accessible spots however some monster trouts can be caught in it especially by the side of the park and going towards kilton area
Now i fish more often down the canal some great carp can be caught 7 to 8kg
and some enormous perch can be caught especially in months like july and august.
where is that mate help a brother out
