  • With the rivers still in flood its the perfect opportunity to hit those slacks and catch some BIG perch! This session I went out to some of the areas that i knew would be good in the flooded conditions. Using the bfs setup and a range of lures it was time to catch some big floodwater fish.

    So thank you, keep going and I hope you keep getting more success and popularity or whatever it is you’re after (other than fish).

    Some cracking perch and pike there buddy small rivers in flood present some great opportunities for predator fishing I’ve had some of my best sessions for predators from flooded rivers and my best ever barbel session from a rising river which included a twenty pound carp four double figure barbel and two six pound plus chub people should never ignore a flooded river but always be careful as a flooded river takes no prisoners

  • @stevesnailfish
    @stevesnailfish 7 місяців тому

    These past few weeks on my local River Nene (just to the west of Peterborough) have been difficult and I've been trying to find slack water when the main river's up several feet....
    Still catching a few Perch though (nothing big apart from a 27cm and a 29cm), but did get a bonus 8.5lb Pike on a 2" Fox Micro Fry 3g jig (fluoro leader) at a lock......Bit of a fight when it got in the flow but got her out.....2-12g rod and 1000 reel stuff.
    Been lure fishing since I was a kid back in the '70's and always blanked in flooded and coloured water....Channels like yours and other anglers on UA-cam have certainly made me think a lot more, which is what it's all about in my opinion. I hadn't fished for 12 years until a year ago and have learnt so much in a short space of time....The joy for me is that I've not blanked a lot this season so far and I put it down to using the old grey matter in my head due to blokes like yourself.....Keep up the good work.

    I had a very fast flowing river/Brook that would get swollen a number of times every year, and every time it did I would just avoid it altogether. Are used to only float fishing which is probably why… Didn’t ever think to bother going for pike or perch. Didn’t think anything hung around when the current was that strong
