    Well put together and interesting video, lovely pit, peaceful and well set with Lillys. Look forward to more videos like this.

      Thank you. One of my early efforts - the narration is a bit wooden!

    Excellent little film illustrating there's more to fishing than just catching fish.

    Lovely to see some traditional tench fishing on an attractive water. I fished this water a few times in the late 1980s when it was lightly fished, and almost unfishable due to yellow water-lily growth. I will probably never fish there again, but I am glad to see that it has retained much of its character and beauty since its development as a carp fishery.

      My own affinity with the pond goes back to those days, when a free annual permit was available from a local solicitor - a generous gesture which was unfortunately abused by some, who left sackfuls of litter.

    The purest form of fishing, tench on the float. Not sure I’d wear a shirt 👔 to go fishing though 😂😂😂

    Fished this lake many times 40 years ago, it hasn't changed at all a magical place.

      Hi Jon, hope you don't mind me asking where this is? (I will delete comment after). Me and a close friend have been looking for something like this forever but have struggled. We will certainly keep it too ourselves if you disclosed the location... Thanks Ryan

    Nice film, thats how I like to fish no alarms or tons of kit.

    It's a trip down memory lane. I shan't violate your pledge of secrecy by revealing the name or location of the pond but I know it well for I fished it as a young girl for the tench and bream. I don't know if it is still the case but it used to have a lot of pike in it as well....mostly small jacks but with the odd big female up into double figures. I remember also, while fishing by night, being scared to death by the local barn owls hunting over the surrounding fields; ghostly white shapes uttering the most blood curdling shrieks!

    • @davidtipping1370
      @davidtipping1370  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Michaela, nice to hear from a lady angler and thanks for keeping the venue secret. There are still plenty of pike in the pool and there's still an occasional barn owl to be seen too.

    • @michaelafrancis1361

      I do apologise Ryan but I did promise the producer of the video that I would respect his wish to keep the place secret. Having said that then if you are looking for a water like this there are a lot of them. The clue is in the video title. This is a Yorkshire clay pit. Many of these old disused clay pits are very old and served mainly as a source of clay to make bricks for the building industry.... they are often called "brick ponds". They thus tend to be found close to cities founded on large clay deposits with a lot of old brick buildings in them. Find a city with a lot of clay underfoot and a lot of its old buildings made of brick then do an ordnance survey map search for small still waters within a ten mile radius. Old ordnance survey maps are helpful since they don't show newer, artificial commercial ponds on them.
      Some of these old brick ponds still have the ruins of the old windmills, that were used to pump rising water out when they were being worked, alongside them.Some of them are (thankfully) still traditional old tench and bream ponds and haven't been ruined by the excessive stocking of carp and the removal of their predator populations.
      I'm sorry for being so evasive but I think it is only respectful to the video uploader to remain true to his wish to keep the location discreet.

      Well here's a clue.... if you're looking for clay, think glaciers! Most of the clay deposits were laid down by the glaciers in the last ice age so look for big flat glacial plains and not up in the hills.

    Lovely little film mate,been searching for years for a pit like that....still haven't found it...

    • @davidtipping1370
      @davidtipping1370  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I know what you're saying Mark...most old ponds have been turned into bagging waters and carp waters, which is very sad.

      +Laid Back Could easily be fish in there, lots of stuff is moved around illegally these days! Might be worth a dabble if you have permission.

  • @portcullis5622
    @portcullis5622 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I wish that there were more day ticket waters that offered this kind of fishing for traditional species with sensible stocking levels. The fishing is more challenging, but the good days are meaningful and memorable, as success actually has to be earned using skill and watercraft. I will never be desperate enough to fish over stocked bagging pools full of half-starved, ugly (and pointless) F1 hybrids, the non-native ide and unhappy barbel!

    Some thing for every body, the wife enjoyed it and now understands why I go fishing. shame this style of water in on decline in favour of Carp filled commercials. Reminds me of a old brick pond on a local farm, till the farmers son dug it out and made it in to a commercial venture. Who now complains about the mess and beer cans.

    • @davidtipping1370
      @davidtipping1370  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Neil, glad you and your wife enjoyed it. I agree, far too many traditional still waters have been crucified by modern fishery management practices.

  • @CB-xr1eg

    Some nice tench but possibly the most boring fishing video on youtube...too much focus on wildlife and fauna.

    • @portcullis5622
      @portcullis5622 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I find it impossible to comprehend how anglers (usually carp anglers) can sit by a beautiful lake for hours, (even days) and be completely oblivious to the wildlife and natural beauty around them. Presumably they lack interest and an enquiring mind. For the angler-naturalist, nature and angling are inextricably linked. I would rather catch small to medium sized fish from a beautiful lake, or river, than catch huge fish from ugly, easy waters. One benefit of this outlook, is the fact that beautiful waters that offer difficult fishing, for different native species, are often ignored by the moronic element that can spoil everyone else's fishing!
