500 Big Fish Live Here… but I did NOT expect to catch This! 😯

- This BEAUTIFUL river has suffered from pollution, but big and rare fish still live here. But can we catch one? I can’t believe how stunning this place is, there was a completely different but breathtaking view around every corner. Plenty of bites and the chance at a very special fish, from a very special place. Trout fishing is always great fun, especially at this time of year. I love lure fishing for trout too, and spinning is always a great method.
Raw sewage discharge directly into our rivers is a massive issue, and it’s destroying our ecosystems. If you’re passionate about the topic and want to do your part to make a difference, there are a couple of petitions you can sign below.

As always thank you very much for watching and hopefully I’ll see you here for the next video! - บันเทิง
United Utilities are a disgrace. Why the hell are we all still paying our bills? Water privatisation has destroyed our rivers, lakes and seas. We need a national campaign to fight the polluters. Feargal Sharkey doing a great job highlighting the current situation but it needs all of us to really make a change.
Maggot thatcher did this to "her" people so they could have plausible deniability
So many rivers and streams are just destroyed by waist. We had a flood back in 1985 which caused the Roanoke River Flood Project. While we were surveying we found multiple sewage leaks and man whole backups. Sewage was coming out of the top. So not only did the river get wider in some areas, the sewer lines had to be updated. Your area is so beautiful and your adventures you share are amazing. Tight lines, from the US to the UK.
Thanks for watching as always mate happy to hear when people enjoy my videos from over in the US. It’s a shame that you have some similar issues though
It's so heartbreaking to see how so many water companies get away with it.
Makes me feel a bit better seeing you out and about showing that if given the chance nature can repair what we destroy.
Tight lines George and keep your chin up and look after your lovely family 🙏
Thanks for watching mate! Yeah it’s good to see life still in there but what a shame
stunning fish in a stunning location fella and that birds nest is a squirrels Drey 👍
Thanks mate! A few people have said squirrel I never knew that. Thanks for the info!
Great video George, awesome that you highlighted the sewage problems, that's not a bird nest it's a drey a squirrel home.😊
Another top quality upload! Thank you George! Stunning scenery and nice fish! Thanks again george
Thanks for watching mate I really appreciate it!
Nice one George. They look like sea trout smolts, before they run to sea
Thanks mate! I thought sea trout only lost there colour when they got to saltwater?
Sea trout are just brown trout that have went to sea, making the fish that George caught a sea trout not a smolt 👍
Just came back from my homestretch, 2 beauty rainbows to grill tonight and the brown trout were so colorful. What a day 🥰
Well done! Thanks for watching 👍
Great video George! Thank you so much for highlighting the sewage problems our water ways are facing....
I’m just about to go down to my local and see what is swimming today! Thanks George you’re the exact reason I started fishing and I’ve been loving it ever since
That means a lot thanks mate glad you’re getting into fishing!
Shame that happened. A beautiful looking fishery and happy to see that it is recovering. Nice fish and the two stocked fish looked like females and the perfect size for spawning. Hope it continues to recover
I hope so too! Thanks for watching as always!
Great to see you as usual, George. Seems like you are really pushing your content and offerings! Looking forward to buying some lures off you one day.
Really trying my best, thanks for watching! Hopefully the website will be live early June!
Same here! Looking forward to buying the northern lights one
Great video and awesome rod. I look forward to your website launch. definitely going to get myself one of these rigged and ready rod sets. look great.
Thanks for the support! I’ll be stocking rigged and ready sets on the website too 👍
5 pull-ups from a strong enough branch for every fish you catch great content as usual
I’m not sure i quite have the strength for that but thanks for the suggestion!
Спасибо, George. Красивая рыба, отличная рыбалка.
Thanks for watching!
We need a fitness challenge video with Ginger & Snagged Bro!
Haha yeah great idea!
Well done highlighting the dreadful pollution situation George 👋, nice video
Thanks for the support!
Nasty stuff. It's that time of year again where the canals get polluted. Remembering your bridge 64 vid from a few years ago - did anybody ever get prosecuted? Spotted some absolutely massive chub in the wyre at church town yesterday- just above the footbridge. Do you ever fish that far down?
As far as I’m aware no one got prosecuted, it’s really made me angry! and yeah there’s some good chub in the wyre!
George, your videos keep getting better and better. Love the drone footage! You’ve inspired this old shore angler to get a rigged and ready rod and start fishing my local river in Belfast!
Great video as always George, for the next fitness challenge every fish you catch = 1 pullup on a tree (if you can find a branch straight enough)
Good suggestion and thanks for watching!
Another top video mate! Making me itch to get back outside rather than sat behind this desk!
Thanks for watching mate much appreciated!
Nice one George i used to kayak that section loads in high flows and the stink sometimes was minging and yet such an absolutely beautiful river. I found ond of my favourite reels tucked under an overhang in the river bank whilst kayaking and i was one hooked during Zambezi sized flows in my cheek under my eye by a rusty spinner and trebble that was hung up under Prizzet bridge that you show at the start of the film . It must have been there for years but the water was that high it caught me. I had to paddle about 500m before i could find an eddie to stop n remove it lol. Good days 😂. Nice film mate n some gorgeous trout. Ive seen Seals below Force falls before too. A long way up river .
Atb mate , that rod looks mint and good luck with the lures etc. Ill definitely be giving them a go 👍.
Atb Rick n Billydog
A lovely river, thank goodness it has recovered.
It had but the issue is very much still there!
Lovely spot😍looked like a squirrel drey hanging from the tree
Yeah a few people have said that, or a witches broom
👍👍Great video George 👍👍🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
Thanks for the comment mate!
Hi George. You should speak to R&R about having more options for their braid. Not everyone needs 200m. I can normally get away with loading up with 100m for most of the fishing i do.
I could buy 200m but If i come to an end of a 100m spool I know its 100m loaded on to the reel and not 80m or 120m out of 200m if you get what im saying. 😅😅
Just a small suggestion to help you guys compete with the bigger brands out there.
Good idea I’ll have a chat. I think the main reason is to let it completely fill a spool, but also be cost effective 👍
Beautiful fish you had there George. I can't understand how the water companies can keep getting away with dumping sewage into the waterways. Seems to be far to common an occurence now.
Baffles me, issues with private ownership and monopoly isn’t it! Such a shame
Great video! Great scenery! It is so bad that people trash up everything!!!!!
Class mate, always a pleasure watching your enthusiasm towards fishing.
Thanks for that mate I appreciate it!
nice vid,beautiful scenery!
Thanks for watching!
Quality Video as always George, your videos are starting to tempt me into giving lure fishing a go. 🙏🏻 If you were still looking for video ideas you could potentially have a “throwback” video and fish the waters which you learnt to fish on maybe use similar lures you used to use!
Don't think it was a nest mate. It's a deformation in growth, cancker or summit like that.
Good looking river too.👍🏼
It appears that the front hook on the lures is backwards.
Quite possibly!
Stunning little river 😊
Beautiful place isn’t it!
Take some plastic carrier bags, then for every fish you catch (regardless of size) you have to add another rock to your backpack. End shot of the video on the big camera; George triumphantly releases a bag full of rocks back into the river to live another day! Lol, great content as always, keep it up mate
What a stunning place that is now it’s recovered from the sewage. Few nice fish too and well done on the exercise challenge 😊 5 push ups for every fish you catch lol 😊
No birds nest mate looks like a squirrels nest. Some lovely fish there pal 👍
Yeah a few people have said that, thanks for the info!
Nice one George,stunning venue,best of luck with you're webshop,you have come along way since that pike snapped you off on the Kendal section of the Lancy canal,every credit mate 👍🏻 👏 keep them coming 👍🏻
For rivers and lochs, start with 100 push ups, then subtract 10 for every native fish caught, 15 for each tourist. +20 for a blank
For canals, -10 for a pike, -5 for a perch, but +20 for a chubb. +30 for a blank.
George, great video, your little seatrout was a smolt
Fishing Challenge - if safe to do so, swim 10 lengths of the pool your fishing in the next vid.
Hard to set a hook on a string of spaghetti
Haha good point!
can any of the r&r rods be used with a method feeder? I only ride a motorbike so these rods would be brilliant for me to carry on it.
They definitely would work for that yes, just make sure the cast weights work with the size of feeder you want to use!
Thought the river season was off for now
No, the trout season starts on the 15th March, but the Pike fishing season has ended now
Trout and salmon season is open 👍
Absolutely beautiful river. An absolute shame pollution like this isn't exactly uncommon.
On the red and green lures turn the front hook round so it points down away from the body.
Thanks for the suggestion I’ll have to switch that around!
Doing a trip to the UK soon from Canada. Got a lot of my old grandads flies that he used in england would love to try to use a few. Just wondering what its like to fish across the pond
If you end up in Derbyshire, Arnfield Fly Fishery in Tintwistle is a great place to visit. Some beautiful Rainbows in there, some over 5/6lbs, although I’m sure I’ve seen bigger. There’s also big browns, lots of Perch, a cafe with a decking over the water, row boats for hire and flies available to buy.
Service is a tad slow, but the foods decent and the lake is stunning. Not expensive either, unlike other places in Derbyshire like Bakewell, which is absolutely amazing fishing but £80 for a day ticket..
Hopefully you catch a few while you’re over here! Where are you staying?
Your next fitness challenge should be ton-ups! Find a gap between two trees or another marker of around 50m. Do 10 pressups, jog to the other tree and back and then 10 pressups and 10 situps. Run to the tree and back and do 10 pressups, 10 sit ups and 10 squat thrusts. Same again but add 10 star jumps and then again and add 10 squats. You can end it there the first few times so you do 50 exercises in total in the last set. True ton up add 10 more after each run for another 5 sets so the final set is 100!
If I was to drop my kecks and take a dump in any river I would be arrested for pollution it's disgraceful how these people get away with it. I reckon that birds nest may be a squirrel drey
Haha that’s a very poetic way to put it! Couldn’t agree more
fun fact. did you know sea trout and brown trout is the same speices? some brown trout move to the sea, some sea trout stay in river so it wont be inbreed. facinating animals they are
pressing like before even watching
Thanks for the support mate!
One in the net!
Love it!
Those small silver fish could very well be small seatrout or salmon.
I think they’re sea trout 👍
Fitness challenge: for your next challenge jog all the way back to your car once youve finished fishing for the day. If you blank, add 10 star jumps once you get to your car
Thanks for the suggestion!
A few years ago I went sea fishing on the coast at Blackpool. First cast I got a bite. As I was reeling in the line was covered in toilet paper. I went home.
Beautiful area to fish! Sad that we can so easily destroy it. Wonderful to see the revival of this area! A curious question George, do u ever eat any of the fish u catch?
Thanks for watching! I hardly ever eat a fish I catch. Very very occasionally maybe a stocked trout or something from the sea
Excellent video mate I'm a keen fisherman myself can I ask where this location is? Looks beautiful would love to go
Here’s a fitness challenge for you how’s about a bike ride along the length of the Leeds / Liverpool canal stopping off to do some pike and perch lure fishing along the way
Next challenge....any fish and you need to run 100m but instead of running, skipping and twirling round!!
Have you done a link on how you set your rigs up yet?
I totally agree with you that it’s a travesty that pollution enters our waterways, whether it comes from sewage works or off the fields, the next government should put legislation into place that offenders face heavy prosecution
Small burn near where i grew up had wild brown trout that where the hardest fighting fish ive ever caught you could leap over the burn in places it was that small but the fishing was so much fun
Another fitness challenge is the playing card one -
sit ups for reds
pushups for blacks
You throw a random card out the deck and do the number of situps or pushups the card says
Ace = 1
Face card = 11
All others actual value.
Good suggestion thanks for the comment!
My fitness challenge. Sit on the edge of the Lune with me just above Skerton weir as I enjoy the wonderful fish and chips from the nearby Millstone Chippy and RESIST the temptation to pinch any of either. If you can control that temptation, you can control what you eat and therefore your calorie intake.
The middle Severn is getting smashed by pollution too😢
Huge shame to hear that :(
hi
Hi
Rods to limber to set the hook
Quite possibly, it did land 6 though!
Do a push up or squat for every cast that doesn’t hook a fish
Don’t we have a close season on rivers anymore ?
We do, but it’s a tricky one because, for example, you might not be able to fish for pike, bream, barbel etc, but you are able to fish for Trout & Salmon.. Right now, I believe the course fishing season has ended, but the Trout/Salmon has already started. I don’t think you’re allowed to remove any Salmon or Sea Trout until mid June
The trout season for trout and salmon is separate from the coarse season
25.000 step;) Get in 😅
many rivers are facing 24/7 discharge, it's a national disgrace, worked at one in Lancashire where it's just basically power washed down and then straight into the river running along side, rain or shine.
That’s a big shame, what river was it?
@@adventurefishinguk you post anything about UU in public at your peril, the biologist covering the windermere scandal found that out
for how many fish you catch you do 3 push-ups and if you catch a fish over 5lb you need to do another 10 great video btw 👍
Amazing scenery , I think for every fish you lose , start at 10 burpee , then 5 for everyone after that , no- one likes burpees 🤣🤣
that birds nest might have been a drey which is a squirrel den
Sorry i am new in UK, do we need to pay / get a licence to fish this kind of rivers? Anyway great video!
What spinner were you using?
Mepps black fury debarbed 👍
@@adventurefishinguk thank
Don't stocked fish get their adipose fin removed so they can be recognized?
Squirrel dray not a bird George!
I never knew! Some people have said witches broom, what do you think?
That birds nest is a magpie
Are you sure? A few people have said squirrels!
@@adventurefishinguk that's a magpie nest deffo
💪🏻👍🏻
It's not a bird's nest it's a squirrel drey.
😂👏🏻 great video. The utility company shareholders enjoying their dividends should watch and weep 🤬😡🤬
25 metres wild swimming for each fish you catch. Just don't swallow any water!!!
Squirrel bird?
😂
Neither it's a growth that happens in some trees,silver birch are prone to it
Quite possibly, or witches broom!
Did u count all 500 ?.
No but the people putting them in did!
Salmon per not sea trout?
Disgusting, stop paying the water bills? Water companies keep breaking the law......
I’ve had this rant with them. we need to get the water public owned again so as its not being ran for profit
They may not be breaking the law. That is the problem.
@Ian-dj2nj It been proven, they are discharging into rivers way above the legally permitted licences granted. Criminal activities need to be prosecuted every time. Disgusting actions by the water companies.
@@Ian-dj2nj they’re definitely not breaking the law they have authorisation to pump sewage water out after heavy rainfall because the sewage system hasn’t been updated since the victorian times. the infrastructure will never be updated whilst its privately owned either because they have shareholders to pay. only option is to make the water public owned and hold the government accountable.
@@Ian-dj2njWater companies pay fines to the government.
are you allowed to eat trout
Yes but there are area byelaws in place, different depending on where you’re located.
www.gov.uk/guidance/national-rod-fishing-byelaws-for-england-freshwater-fishing-with-a-rod-and-line
It depends on the size and the place
squirrel drey
That " beautiful river " you fished for 5 hours and blanked is my local river I think. Used to be very good for sea trout in summer, but that was 10 years ago. It frustrates me seeing you catch so many fish elsewhere. Migratory fish have all but disappeared too.
sewage is a problem here in scotland but not major like yous go through , our water is public owned . yours are private so profits before the environment, there lies the problem. only cure is to nationalise it
I couldn’t agree more 👍
Free market enterprise Profiteering capitalism..laughing at decent folks efforts to stop these crimes because they have the money to pay the lawyers that can twist the proper justice of the law for their corporation control of the situation..
It's all about the shareholders and the big bonuses.....
We can thank Margerat Thatcher. Some companies need to remain nationalised..
Good fishin. Nature given half a chance will recover...
That's a mistletoe bush hanging from tree I think
Horrible situation isn’t it :( a few people have said squirrel dray but I wouldn’t know!
First of all, try to change your diet that is the most important thing if you want lose weight, and fasting. Then a little bit of exercise will be more than enough. 3 months and you will see a massive difference.
disgusting whats happening in our rivers and seas UK wide, ive took my issues and been given coverage on local radio in northern ireland, our water goverment maintained as such but its no better than private water companies in england, custodial sentences needed for water comp CEOs then itll change
Not a fitness challenge as such, but how about you ask subscribers for donations in return for absolutely no more groin shots whilst doing sit-ups!
😂 now that’s a promise I’m afraid I can’t commit to making!
Dont think its a nest looks like a miselto bush
New housing projects are banned in Bala, Wales, until the sewage works are upgraded in order to protect the River Dee. Developers hate that, moaning like H**l about lost millions in income. Tough. Meanwhile, that's one of the worst discharges I've seen. Disgraceful, vile, behaviour by another water management company. United Utilities, eh? I'll not forget. It's far too common a practise across the country. Seemingly, re-wilding ideology and 'sustainability' does not extend to our rivers where fly-life is being killed off. You can't happily just re-stock them for the instant pleasure of crank-bait anglers. Trout fly-fishers and entomologists aside, who really cares about flies and river ecology?
Being both a fisherman and kayaker
That river has some horrible anglers
Watch the old boys.. set of wa nkers
I’ve heard stories… I’ll have to keep an eye out!
Greedy @unts, Northumbria water is owned by a Chinese investment firm taking all the profit for the minimum investment back in, nearly £600 a year per house 😡
Water bosses in England & Wales driving around in Bentleys... Tw@t$. To fight back there is the _River Action_ campaign - follow Field Marshall Sharkey & Co.
Such a shame isn’t it! Thanks for the info 👍
