Brilliant fishing that’s the way to do it 😻

Hi Steve, loved this video, thanks. Could i ask you a question? I notice on some of your videos you have your bait tray on the right hand side, do you find this better than the left? Thanks

Quality bit of fishing mate 👌🎣

that looks a great swim to mee.... superb with the bonus lumps.. if you could film this in black and white..smoke a pipe and the sound of the steam trains...it would look like you are fishing in 1958 .... nice vid

Fantastic job in difficult conditions. How much particles went into the initial mix. Thanks keep them coming.

Thanks Steve, were you only feeding micro pellets or pellet and ground bait in the feeder?

Great blog liking the location 👍🏻

Great video again Steve, thanks.

great all round vid, i enjoyed and thanks for sharing steve, regards mick.

Thanks Steve, loving your videos, full of great advice and content 👍

I'm a big fish angler steve. Its really interesting watching how you do things. I spend my entire life trying to get my hookbait to replicate my feed and its noticeable that you commonly do the opposite... In this instance, feed groundbait and particles that are going to pretty much stay static on the riverbed, and whizz a (different) hookbait 'above' the feed at the speed of the flow. I really have my doubts that this is going to work for a shoal of six big chub as opposed to six hundred 1/2lb fish but I'm going to give it a try.

Do you attach the waggler rigs loop to loop to your mainline then Steve and always have the loop above the float ! Seems great to do the rigs at home that way but i worry that presentation and rig strength will be compromised.

Be good to do a guide or line 7 no 4 = 15 no 8 as a new person to river fishing and tying own rigs from scratch. !! Always learning … thanks

Great info thanks…

Thanks… insightful; Just learning the art of river pole , how do you decide what gram float to use mate cos depth etc ?

Enjoyed this video Steve looking forward to the next one. I’m glad you showed the self hooking of dace when you mend the line . This happens to me loads of times fishing a tight line on a waggler on the Ribble , usually bigger fish as well.

By looking at the bushes there’s hardly any wind. So why is it so noisy?

lovely catch.

The waggler weights are a great idea, just wish the bore was little bigger. Nice, informative video Steve.

How long do you tie the rigs before putting them onto winders? Please reply for waggler, stick and bolo rigs. Thanks in advance.

Loving the Videos, Steve thank you for sharing. The way You fish the rivers, Look forward to the next one. 👍

Hi Steve, thanks for the great video. I also use waggler weights but I lock mine with float stops and I just wanted to ask qwhy you don't use them. Thanks.

Top stuff on a tricky day.

Which stretch are you on mate? Is it the Bewdley Angling day ticket stretch above the bridge?

Hi hello welll done good job 👍 can you drive to the peg in your car 🚘 thank you ???

Great video Steve, what a lovely stretch of river, really enjoyed it, thanks.

Good video Steve, what make of main line and hook length do you use please.

Great video but defiantly get yourself a wireless microphone it will really improve the video, top fishing though

Steve, great video, lovely location, nice simple approach'.. I enjoyed your day thankyou shame about the background with the water but im sure you didn'tnt know that till you got to the edit stage lovely bit of river an ever so exiting to see what you might hook! keep them coming mark

Excellent video Steve proper fishing at its best 👍

Great video Steve, really enjoyed it, Cheers.

i enjoyed that, thanks steve. even the bees were getting in on the act, aah summer magic, life dont get any better dose it, regards mick.

Great video Steve loved it Boss to see a top angler fishing the way I love to fish. I also think the one you done on the Stick float on the Avon is one of the best I’ve seen. I’m off to our local river Douglas to catch some dace and maybe a chub now , so keep up the good work

Fabulous Steve Great to see you back. Do you make your rigs up on winders? If so, do you use the same line.👍

Great to see a new video Steve, I have been looking forward to seeing another one for a while. Re- re-watched the flat float one only yesterday. Is that Arley/Highley Country Park area? I never fished up there but have been by on the train many times and on my bike once or twice. I only fished down by Stourport (Lickhill) and would love to fish up that way one day soon. I appreciate the work that goes in to making these when really all you want to do is fish but we all learn a lot from them so please keep up the good work. Thanks

Hi Steve, by my estimation 0.18 mainline is way bigger than three to four pounds. Did you mean 0.15 or 0.16? Your 0.12 hooklength equals about three and a half pounds breaking strain in old money? Yes? I can’t be doing with line diameters. Can you just confirm the sizes of line you were using, please? Cheers. A great video by the way. A fabulous afternoon that I am keen to emulate myself.

Would love to know what stretch you were fishing.

I know what you mean about needing the line to break when youre in a snag. Trying to break the line when youre stuck in a snag whilst using 15lb line and your thinking to yourself is my bale arm going to snap. 15lb line breaks nearer 20lb and its a nightmare when youre snagged up

Steve is it a 3 piece rod or a 2 piece I’m thinking of buying one

Thanks for all of your videos Steve. It has helped an average angler like myself no end. I was just wondering could you tell me what mono you use for stick float & topper fishing. Cheers, John

Why have got a keepnet

Hello Steve, excellent explanations of what float to use as the peg dictates. Do you have a rod preference for your stick float fishing and have you had any line behind the spool issues in windy conditions with those TDR reels?

Bostin, as they say around me. See you are using your own brand keepnet, they still available??

Nice fishing Steve i fish the same way on the Thames also I use your stick floats you can’t beat a good days river fishing 😻

Isn’t it a sad indictment of today’s anglers that after three weeks this video has only had 2550 views and 70 likes? There is more pleasure in catching ten pounds of river roach, for me, than catching two hundred pounds of commercial carp. The state of today’s rivers, with many being flooded and virtually un fishable for four months of the year, may be a major contributor to the demise in river sport, but commercial fishing has taken a heavy toll. The challenge on rivers is firstly "will I catch?" whereas the challenge on commercial venues is usually "how much will I catch?" It’s still fishing, but not as we know it. (Paraphrasing 'Bones' on Star Trek there. If you don’t recognise that you are almost certainly a person of the ‘commercial persuasion' and rivers are an unknown to you"). It is almost impossible to persuade the average angler that river fishing, where the reward might only be five pound of tiddlers, is SO much more enjoyable than catching carp. And stick float fishing is fishing in its purest form.

Nice fish😁👍

that big perch will come out the net about 3 1/2lb by the time its ate all those little dace. dont like keep nets😐

Interesting video Steve. When choosing river floats when and why would you use a particular patten ie stick, loafer, avon or Bolo ( fixed or sliding). Presumably there’s a fair amount of overlap? For instance is a Drennan wire stemmed avon not similar to many larger shouldered stick pattens? And have bolos made avon pattens redundant? Best regards JJ

Dont mind you not saying but cant picture where you are it's doing my head lol

It's great going to the old days ❤
