- Winter Feeder Fishing On The River Ribble | Uk Rivers
Welcome to this years Christmas special, a session feeder fishing on the river ribble. The stretch of the river we are fishing today is known as church deeps near Preston. Accessible via a public car park.
We set out with minimal gear and multiple baits to try a couple of different swims, we was expecting a tough day ! But the day turned into a reasonably productive session as you will see from the video!
This is the first video and start of a new playlist on the channel fishing different rivers in the uk, both small and large using a range of techniques.
Grab a brew or a beer and enjoy the video !

Happy christmas tight lines mate and all the best for 2024....
Tight lines and seasons greetings. I can vouch for some quality products, get some bought and treat yourself for some new year fishing expeditions.
Happy Christmas Matt & Paul 😃🎅🎄
I always fish on the edge of the flow, the thinking is that the fish will sit there not expending energy then just nipping out into the flow to intersect any passing morsel, also you can build a bed of feed
Hi bud, a "Quickstopped" Lobworm or a couple of Dendro's down the edge can be good as owt when it's Up & Coloured. & look like they've been washed naturally in with all the rain. Also, I always found Bronze & Whites worked better than Reds on the river.
In a pond or lake your ground bait stays in one spot,in a river your groundbait flows away with the current.You need a constant source of groundbait in a river.A swimfeeder only deposits a miniscule amount of feed compared to constant feeding.The groundbait in a river draws fish up the current to your bait.
I have seen Roach up to 3 lb on this stretch of the Ribble. Theres also some big Perch.
Would lov to see you and your Dad having a go at other types of fishing . What a great find this channel is . TY for the content and effort it takes to do this .
Love the roach love your videos mate
I fished the river severn with my uncle at the end of the summer we had never really river fished before, we did pull a nice few chub and barbel, it was hard holding bottom as the river had been on the rise, there is a really art to casting letting out a bow of line and waiting for your weight to hit bottom before seting your rod on the stand
This helps avoid weight bouching on the bottom and going down river
Yh I think you knocked your bales arm over abit quick on the first cast at 6:30 you need to let it sink to bottom so the weight holds let a small bow of line out then place rod down knock bale arm on and drag a foot or so more line off the reel, I'm no expert but this tip really helped me and my uncle
What a roach that was, something different for me n all that river fishing, very enjoyable 👌🏻👌🏻
Love your videos allways down to earth never go over the top and fishing with ur dad all the time is somthing money cant buy. Ps i fish the yare in norfolk can be very tidal there probly not as much as there but i allways cast uptide and let alot of slack line out to create a big bow in the line and feeder dosent move half as much keep up the good work mate
Thanks for commenting ! I try to keep everything as real as possible, sometimes large fishing companies can shed a bias light onto fishing, people new to the sport may think they are doing something wrong but sometimes that’s just fishing ! Yes it’s nice to get out and about with my dad. A few people have mentioned uptide casting and it makes sense and your basically getting a self hooking action as the fish hit the weight of the feeder 💪🏻🎣
Where you are if you had fished to your right .Theres a bush and a serious undercut . Its full of carp and barble . Big chub will also hide under the under cut. Now back in the 80s a diver whent into the river at that point and said that he seen a massive Pike just under the undercut. The last time that i fished the Ribble was about 30 years ago and i now live in Ireland and miss this River. Lots of fish and safe.
Nice one.
Have a great Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you, dad & family hope you have a good one & all the best for the New Year.
Happy Christmas to you and your family Matt. Have a great day my friend. See you on the other side 😊
I prefer feeder fishing for carp in lakes but I also realise that people like allsorts,👍👍.
I am from germany. I love your Videos. I wish You and your Family a Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas from the Uk 🇬🇧 ! Thank you for watching !
Frohe Weihnachten 🎉
Great first session on the river pal. An absolute clonker of a roach. Have a great day and keep up the great work
Thoroughly enjoyed your new angling adventure.
Keep up the good work 😂
Merry Christmas westy from another westy
Tight lines in the new year ..
Don't forget rufford meadow mate .. you won't be disappointed
I love using bread. My favourite bait by far. Cheese sometimes works well for barbel.
Yes I definitely need to try cheese paste !
Tightening up to a 4oz + feeder is the wrong way to fish a big river. You need to fish with a fairly big bow in your line by casting upstream and then pay out a good amount of line. Having a bow in the line will not affect the bites at all, they will register on the tip just the same but you will be able to use a much lighter feeder. It's trial and error how much line you pay out but it's worth learning.
Great advice, I will try it. Makes sense
Another great video westy
Happy Xmas to you and your dad loved your videos all of 2023 and like to see more river fishing
Thank you ! Merry Christmas and happy new year 🎣
After a shite Christmas, and completely bored of the crap on tv I really enjoyed watching this. I love your enthusiasm, makes me look forward to getting back out there fishing :)
Right about the crap tv over Christmas!!
This is a great compliment 💪🏻 hopefully your new year is better than your Christmas 😂
some winter fishing its been grim up here rivers seem always in flood fishing its the cold and hope that kills you thanks for your vlogs all year best to your family and thee dad keep entertaining us ta
It’s been tough this year mate even on commercials, I’m not sure why! Potentially all the rain
I'm on the ribble aswell this year westy mate
I may see you down there 💪🏻
6" eel sections are great river pike bait
That was a good winter session 🙂 throwing some loose feed upstream is the way to go & Dad is right on fishing a river while its on the rise is not usually productive but better as the level decreases 20 minutes per swim and move if no bites .If bites are coming in the swim stay put until they dry up Love the Korum gripper weights they hold bottom really well As for the neck ache get a sidewinder indicator the tip can be as high as you like but the indicator is at the level of the first rod ring they come with three tips that can be changed to suit conditions without dismantling the rod .Your Korum xtnd rod is good for river fishing as well
Thank you for all the tips ! 🎣 I will take them onboard 😁
Nice roach there for you westy and don't you just luv them eels eh mate,ime sure you will learn to luv or hate em, merry Xmas to you and your dad .
Happy Christmas to you both.
That was a quality roach pal and i haven't caught a snig in years looked as awkward as i remember em lol.
Expected you to use your opportunist XTND rods they are really suited to this type of fishing , small pack down and will really handle big barbel. Great content though as usual
Great film for Christmas and some right quality fish caught to boot 👌 all the best to yourself and Papa west, hope you've had a cracking time 😃👍
Thank you for all your support over the last 12 months Tony !
Pleasure Matt, you will continue to get my support 100% buddy 👍 💪
I hope you both had a good Christmas & have a happy new year. That was a good video & I really enjoy your fishing days.
Thanks Barry ! Hopefully more great vids to come next year 🎣
The proble with bread here is small silver fish by the thousands . Meat meat meat lol
River fishing. I like it. I fish the Hudson River for carp and I've found shallow bays that are out of the main current. I still deal with some tidal flow but not any heavy current Good stuff. Keep it up lad.
Sounds amazing mate ! Would love to give that a crack 🎣
Happy christmas to you both , nice video,nice roach as well ! Makes a change from High hayes where i met you last year ,keep up the good work and looking forward to the next one.😊
Happy Christmas Ste ! 🎣
Nice to see you back catching again😉
Nice Christmas video to put out to us, merry Christmas to both off you🎄🎄🎄
Don’t get too used to it 😂 Merry Christmas!
@WestysAngling I'm sure your dad will keep the blank fron happening😉🤣 on a serious note looking forward to your video's next year💪👍
give the line alot of slack to avoid the lead rolling into the snags, lesson learnt from my first river fishing experience (fishing for Barbel)
and Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Westy to you and your dad mate love your videos tight lines 😉👍👍🐟
You also buddy ! Thank you for watching 💪🏻🎣
No worries mate you take care looking forward to seeing more of your videos in the new year mate 👍😉
Hi Westy great video like you iv never done river fishing and one my target fish is a barbel in the future so il be watching your ribble vids with interest, I do know where you are as I live about 4to 5 miles from church deeps
Definitely give it a go mate ! I know that stretch holds barbel, but I believe fairly difficult to catch 😂
Cast up stream put a bow in your line never tighten up
Great channel, but way too many adverts
18 in total, worse than itv
TH-cam decides that pal, not something you have control over as a creator
This is the main reason I pay for TH-cam. Couldn’t stand all the adverts. I believe they have just increased the number of ads they show during a video. Like Matt says this is down to TH-cam not the creators.😢
Great video..what’s next ..a road trip round Europe with dad fishing for the big carp ..now that would be a good adventure…🐠🐠🐠mid 2024 …
