    Hard to get scale on the bird George, but, almost certainly a Little Egret. A recent colonist to the UK but mainly in the South, so, a good sighting!

      @@adventurefishinguk im not sure tbh seems like it could have been a low bit of land thats flooded at some point and become one with the canal and the reeds have grown or it could have been a basin(if thats the word) like the one further down the way you headed and just over grown been there the last 4 years at least i know that XD.. an old guy walking past one day said 15 20 years ago itd be lined with people fishing from the bridge up for either bream or tench i cant remember what he said.. ive not had either out of there tho.

    I spent most of the summer of 1989 fishing that stretch. There was some huge tench and grass carp with a resident huge pike in the basin where the egret was. I caught a pike next to that bridge which actually grabbed my waggler whilst tench fishing. There never was many fish in the duck weed basin itself. Sadly the otters took all the tench and grass carp.

    • @adventurefishinguk
      @adventurefishinguk  Рік тому

  • @paulstares48

    Great video as usual mate. I'd groundbait a clear spot near those snags with defrosted chopped up sardines and whitebait, draw them out and deadbait with a float rod in hand and strike early to keep the fish out the snags. Looked helluva fishy there. I'd keep going back there cause it looks like it will hold a big girl in there, especially if its not a pressured water.
