Thank you for using barbless single hooks. I am accustomed to people using barbed treble hooks for trout here in the USA and it pains me to say I was once that guy. But I've long since switched to fly fishing barbless hooks and I wish people here knew more readily how sensitive trout are. A lot of people here treat them like any normal hardy fish, like a bass. Truly awesome to think you can cast a line out your back yard and hit some beautiful brown trout too, thanks for showing this off.
I started about 18 months ago after being a golfer for 40 plus years. I wish I'd started 40 years ago, best of luck it's a great community, make new friends every time you hit the bank.
Get a nice 7-8ft rod with a decent action (decent flex in the top 2ft or so) fish with anglia long mepps (silver no2) or a black fury mepps no2....black with YELLOW spots and u will be smashing trout in no time. Remember to use a light line. 4-5lb being the best bet. Maxima chameleon 4lb is great for trout fishing. Ibe used it myself for over 25+ years. There are braid options too but maxima is just as good as anything imho. Tight lines. P.s stay away from those crap cheap spinners. Stick with Mepps and u can't go wrong. The genuine ones are made in France and are sold in any good fishing shop or online. A good pack to start is the Mepps trout kit which offers 6 great little spinners that will ALL catch fish and u get a black fury in with that bunch. Ive hit hundreds on the black fury alone!!!!
Hi Chris (and all others wanting to use singles). One way to improve your hook-up rate a bit is to have the rear single with the tip pointing back forwards over the back of the lure, not hanging down beneath it. And you can use a single that is a size larger than the original treble. Tight lines Mates!
What I've found over the last few seasons lure fishing for trout is that you get a better hook up rate with the rear single pointing down. I found that to be because the bottom jaw of the trout has more areas where the hook can catch as opposed to top of the trouts mouth which is pretty solid.
Great video. I have been catching urban trout for 45 years and during the years I have gotten many strange looks walking in the streets with my fishing gear and some even suggested that I lacked a few marbles seeing me fishing in urban settings. Me laughing inside knowing how clueless they were about all the trout swimming in these usually unfished settings. I have also fly fished some places. I have even caught sea trout and smaller salmon in urban rivers that no others seemed to know they swam and spawned in these rivers. And often the fish are much easier to catch in these settings as they almost never encounter artificial lures. I highly recommend people that live in an urban area with a river to not disregard what might swim in that river as that might give them great fishing opportunities much closer to home. I highly recommend that you try floating mouse lures in a setting like this. I have caught lots of trout and many big ones, including a 6+ pound on them, And they work very well, no matter where you fish for brown trout. In city streams/rivers, other rivers and lakes of all sizes, including up in the mountains. And it is extremely exiting to experience when the trout come up and take the lure. At times they hit the lure like we can see white sharks attack seals or seal decoys where the entire body of a 4-5 pound trout can be above the surface. It is extremely addictive to fish with these lures when the trout are in the mood for a big bite of "food" swimming on the surface. Try it out and film it and you might catch some spectacular moments to show your subscribers. And I am sure you will experience something that you will find VERY addictive. These mouse and rat lures can also be VERY effective on pikes and I have also caught large Perch, Chub and Ide on them.
I just noticed your TH-cam channel about a week ago and i have subscribed to your channel and its so nice to watch a person fishing who loves what hes doing and doing with the environment and they way the fish are treated, well done Ginger fisherman you got me hooked, looking forward to seeing more, cheers from Canada
Great video . Big urban browns are the stuff of my dreams . I love fishing the pretty country spots ,but catching big trout in the city that others overlook has always intrigued me . Tks
Out here in California we have an awesome urban creek that has steelhead and rainbow trout and I'm sure small mouth bass. It runs right under downtown. Literally manyany streets are built over it. No fishing allowed though. The area is covered in needles and stuff anyways because it's also full of homeless encampments but darn it would be great fishing. Not as pretty though.
Love you vids Sea trout fishing late at night 10pm onwards.No better feeling than a crazy ST dancing across a calm pool in the moonlight Before long your collecting feathers and wine corks, tying flies and making memories
Agreed. The elusive sewin are the pinnacle for me. After dark on the fly or the worm is unbeatable!!!! Everything is deathly quiet, calm....the odd fish jumping with a big splash catches u off guard but signals that THEIR THERE! All of a sudden BANG your in and it's a right whopper.....oh the joy. Shine the torch in the net to reveal a solid bar of Welsh silver. Perfection! 🎣
If you fish with baits that are intended for the surface, then you can usually see the bite. One mistake that many anglers make is that they hit too early. Wait until you feel the pressure of the fish on the rod and then hit, otherwise you will lose the fish. I also had to learn this first, some pikes escaped me in the past because I hit too early.
You’re 100% correct about that. I learned the hard way as well. I missed about a dozen smallmouth the first time I used whopper ploppers because I was setting the hook on instinct and not waiting to feel tension. You see that big splash and your brain tells you to react, and you end up just watching your lure come flying back at you.
Ibe caught thousands of wild brownies over the years. I dont think people realise the quality of the fish hes catching in this video. There are just a small handful of rivers in wales that produce browns of this size consistently! Theres nothing like it! The only comparison for me is sewin or salmon. Sewin (sea trout) being my ultimate favourite to catch. They are amazing eating too but these days they all go back which is a good feeling in itself!
Sea trout fishing is indeed fantastic fun. Here in Norway we have some of, if not the largest lake trout in the world. they consistently get to 10+ KG and the record is 15 KG. My PR is at about 8 KG and you will consistently hook 5+ KG fish there!
I just love to watch your stuf! I’m a angler myself from the Netherlands. I’ve you are ever in te neighbourhood of Arnhem, come by and lets fish! Would be a dream! I’ll come to the UK for that either…
Nice, if you’re ever in America the trout fishing is amazing ! I used to catch 6, 6 1/2 pound rainbows out of a creek near my hometown. Middle of America in Missouri.
Love your videos mate, keep up the great work, you were the one that made me want to try out lure fishing and now it’s my favourite hobby, thank you chris ❤
from one to another,well done ginge!!,your vids are absolutely addictive,i fish a really small stream/river near derbyshire,the native brownies luv it,and grow big!!!!!
@@NickyBayton for sure. I thought the same. I don’t think that they see that piece of plastic as a duck.. the duck design is made to catch lure purchasers
That was some epic urban trout fishing like I've never seen before. We don't have many fish in our urban streams where I live and the ones that do are closed to fishing for no reason. Fortunately though I do have the Pacific ocean and sharks to go after
Looks so fun! When I lose fish after hooking up like that I’ll size up the hook and when I sense the fish about to jump I’ll throw the rod tip down in the water to guide the fish back down. Beautiful catches and Tight lines
Fished that river as a kid in the late 1970s. It was a totally dead river in the city due to pollution, but you could catch small browns upstream in the suburbs behind houses. I was pretty much the only person who fished it
Those fish are so aggressive. I watched one slashing through the water chasing minnows in the brook near me. Awesome to see. Great video once again! Pete 🏴
5:53 Look at the colors on that arm, absolutely stunning 😉 Nice vid again, and those fish - unbelievable in an "urban" area! BTW Love the quality of your vids.
I live in the United States, New Jersey, avid fisherman… trout or one of the most hardest fish to hook and keep on the line once they’re hooked…. Changing your hook up is probably why you’re losing a lot of these fish just my opinion…. And it doesn’t surprise me that they’re hitting those baby ducks. I live on a river system where we have northern pike bass multiple species of Gamefish and I use the duck lures, baby duck lures, rats, snakes, spinner, bats, and I nail northern pike all day long…. Loved your video and I was wondering what part of the world are you in?
What an insane fishery......you must have a go again with a treble hook. Visited a French city in Normandië and looked down a bridge to see huge trout in the 4 lb range......and no one looking or fishing! Great show- thanks.
that's some great fishing. I wish I could back water wade fish here in South Florida. there's just way too many dangerous aquatic animals here to do it. From Alligators, American and Nile crocodiles, and huge Bull sharks in the brackish water canals of Miami and Broward county. NOPE ! No way. I was circled and harassed by a 10-12 foot Bull shark in my 14 ft. jon boat in the canals of Wilton manors Florida. just a half mile down the canal some people were rope swinging into the water. I warned them as I passed by heading for the boat ramp to get the heck out of the water that day. large mother Bull sharks give birth to young in these canals. they can stay in the area for quite sometime.
Greetings from Germany I once fished an underground part of a canal in the middle of the village. It belongs to a small hydroelectric power plant. 5 brown trout were almost up to 70cm.😅 Visually, they were just as beautifully drawn as others
What a fantastic little river, despite the odd bits of junk tossed in there it must be relatively clean or the brownies wouldn’t be there. Those imitation lures are absolutely deadly though it would be exciting to try those wild brownies on a nymph or dry fly too.
As a teenager a LONG time back I used to fish similarly to this style, but not with novelty baits. I used a solid glass spinning rod by Milbro (cheapie!) a Mitchell 300 with a ultralight spool loaded with as light as 2lb main line. Made casting ultra easy. Hookups were far more efficient than you have with these oddball lures I used to use size 0 mepps aglia spinners, sometimes Black Fury in sunny conditions. Very deadly combination. The tiny. trebles those came with didn't cause worrisome damage but I was also fishing for the pot so many came home for the kitchen. Long time ago, that was the 1960s-70s. Plenty of fish, zero pollution. Sometimes urban fish, most times open country. Always casting upstream as preached by Alexander Wanless who pioneered upstream minnow fishing. Then I discovered fly kit - more fun even than the above, caught just as many fish maybe more some days.
Cracking fish Chris. Definitely my biggest inspo and also teacher, started a year ago all thanks to you and your channel! Would be an honour to catch a double in front of you someday :)
Hi Chris amazing fishing! Suggestion for one of your video is sink and draw dead bait using albert drachkovitch rig. Used a lot in France Mort Manie for pike. I have followed your channel for over two years and don't think you have used this technique yet. Also live bait for trout using minnows. Love all the videos!
Great content as always Chris. The ONLY downfall of using external audio is that you cant record a back up audio from the camera mics. how Gopro, dji, insta ect havent addressed this still to this day is pretty outstanding 😂 Great footage regardless
Hi mate, cheers from Melbourne, Aus. Like your fishing shows especially this latest one. Years ago visited Quimper in Brittany in France and it was my turn to find a laundry. So got the stuff in the washer and wandered about the centre! to find a small urban stream and looked down to see huge f........ trout which could have tackled a small dog, like a chihuahua and me without a rod!!
Another great video! Thanks Chris. As a consequence of your channel I’ve invested in some proper lure gear. Golly it’s a hell of a lot lighter to lug around than tubs of maggots and worms 😂
Fantastic TROUT, river and fishing action! I believe those big fish do eat ducklets, yet I highly doubt the duck lure simulates those birds from the trout point of view: the visual and the pulsations of the small webbed feet are missing. Whatever, it works!
Loving the music mixed with the action shots tbh! I still havent mustered up the courage to wade that particular river yet. But as you know, big dutty trout live in little dutty rivers 😂
Get in there lad. There's absolutely nothing to stress about. Just use common sense and u will be fine! Those big browns are waiting for you. There's no time like the present!!!! Go get um. 🎣
@JWhite-Fishing as long as u stick to the middle and ware waders u will be fine. No needle is penetrating a good wader boot. It will snap before it goes through. U will be fine!👍🏼
What a beautiful chalk stream, apart from the rubbish,tyres etc.. You're really lucky to have access to such hallowed places. That wasn't really a duck lure no mallard is that small the fish went for it just because it was something moving. You'd be better off with an imitation mouse.
That’s a serious catch of wild brownies Chris in those urban locations …well done with the Peeking Duck 🦆😂 would take quite a lot of natural flies for those trout to get the equivalent amount of protein🥩
U want a small 6ft fly rod on a weight 2 or 3 reel and line with the old bow and arrow cast. Extreme effective in small overgrown stream fishing. Imagine hooking a 53cm 3lb brown on a 6ft light fly setup😮😮bonkers sport.

Did you see the tires? If you are from over there you call them tyres.
Nice footage. Well done!
No rubbish? I saw a few old tires and some street debris in the river.
@@mikef6114 did you see the drone footage? I enjoy a lot of fishing shows and that was a really nice touch.
Never caught a fish in my life but i will be buying my first fishing rod next week in the hopes of changing that

How do you have it back forwards?
@@boyinthecorner-666hurting my brain trying to figure that out too!
@@boyinthecorner-666when you look at the lure side on. The rear single should be curving upwards with the barb/point toward the lures back.

Get in there lad. There's absolutely nothing to stress about. Just use common sense and u will be fine! Those big browns are waiting for you. There's no time like the present!!!! Go get um. 🎣
@@taff6987 i love to wade in the rural rivers mate but that one might have a few unwanted surprises of the needle variety lurking about 😂
@JWhite-Fishing as long as u stick to the middle and ware waders u will be fine. No needle is penetrating a good wader boot. It will snap before it goes through. U will be fine!👍🏼
Great footage and fish mate👍🏻
Cracking video, great fishing👍
Just bought myself this same rod. 2-10g, first BFS setup. Looking forward to trying it out!
Beautiful city fish 😊
Didn’t know trout swam in urban rivers 👍👍👍thanks
Cracking fish where probly no one ever goes briliant fishing as always . The wee duck thing proved its self lol 😊
👍🏴😁✌️
Lovely trout mate👊🏼
Nice video, enjoyed it. As a non English speaker (Dutch) I thought you said you
catched a trout on a dog:)
As an english speaker in the usa, i thought the same thing
What a beautiful chalk stream, apart from the rubbish,tyres etc.. You're really lucky to have access to such hallowed places. That wasn't really a duck lure no mallard is that small the fish went for it just because it was something moving. You'd be better off with an imitation mouse.
Awesome fishing trip
That’s a serious catch of wild brownies Chris in those urban locations …well done with the Peeking Duck 🦆😂 would take quite a lot of natural flies for those trout to get the equivalent amount of protein🥩
I am astonished that you have caught trout in a truly urban canal
Stunning session pal!
Should do some fishing with spoons! old school lure challenge!
That’s unbelievable such great trout in a small dirty stream,
They would be excellent on the fly rod but very hard in that area..
U want a small 6ft fly rod on a weight 2 or 3 reel and line with the old bow and arrow cast. Extreme effective in small overgrown stream fishing. Imagine hooking a 53cm 3lb brown on a 6ft light fly setup😮😮bonkers sport.
@taff6987 Most likely you could roll cast as well.
