Very interesting concept of piping trout, never seen it before, well done, and a 5* video. Tickling Trout is illegal in NZ but can be done as surviving a lost in bush. It is not easy at all and can only be done during the time trout running up the river for spawning. As males fight each other in small streams and creeks, and have lost most of fat reserves and become exhausted, and lay motionless on the edges and corners to rest, then one can lay down and Feel for the tail of the exhausted trout and slowly slowly work one's way up to the bely of the fish in a motion like ""Tickling""and once one feels the bely, one has to be very fast and throw the fish out, on to the bank. It is near impossible to grab a big slimy, slippery fish. These fish are most of the time close to the surface as they rest, because they have swallowed a lot of air in a fast flow of spawning streams and need to rest and push back the air out. You need a lot of patient and good blood circulation as your hand get close to the cold water temperature of the creek. A lot of people claim they can do it to all the trouts but it is near impossible to do it to a fit and healthy fish, or better to say, in over 60 years of fishing, i have not seen it. I know some South American tribes do it but they poison the water. In many occasions we see big trouts of over 6 to 10 pounds, mostly aggressive Rainbows, totally exhausted from fight and ended up in the current as they have swallowed a lot of air and have to swim constantly to get themselves down to deeper water and usually end up dead. With best regards to all, all the way from Down Under, Tony.
It's really sad to see fish worn out from the travelling and spawning activity and you're right that it is incredibly difficult to catch a fit fish by tickling it. Every time I have tried this year I have failed. The local streams around me used to be full of fish but they are all gone as mink and otters have cleaned out the streams. Unfortunately the two best streams near me have large waterfalls near the point where they meet the river so no more fish can get up to repopulate the streams so to find streams where there are lots of fish is a real bonus.
I really enjoy your videos. Mainly I watch different practitioners to see others' takes on the methods other than what I use. I find it fantastic that you are passing this knowledge on to your boy. If I had the chance to have any parts of my life to do again, I would choose the times I spent with MY sons in the wild just so that I could enjoy them again. None of this 'do-over' to fix regrets for me!
I hear you there and I reckon that I'd think more about what I was going to do as a job since 20 years of my life were spent being taken advantage of by others and mounting up debt which has only recently been cleared. That would have given me way more time with the family which is the most valuable time anyone can have.
Very cool demonstration on how to capture trout with a pipe. I really like these videos and also when you identify the surrounding fauna. Great job Richard 😉🙌
Yes it is a great method for catching fish in small streams and I'm trying to make a point to show some of the fauna and flora when I'm making these videos so I'm glad you appreciate them.
It really is informative. In our region, trout get caught in small pools when summer comes. We attempt to move them to larger places so this video really helps us in our efforts. Thank you!
If you do catch fish this way it is a great achievement - always best to leave the pipes in for a few days then it is much easier as they have had time to become familiar with them. Best of luck.
Pondguru Outdoors It might be the only way I can catch them !! I spent about 4 grand on a small boat/outboard ect and I didn't catch a single trout last year :D
lol People tell me the two best days of a man's life are the day he buys a boat and the day he sells it so you can tell me if that is true. Hopefully the fish will start biting for you soon.
Yes I would go out of my way to take the kids out to prevent them watching crap on the TV or internet and being ot sharing skills and animal / plant ID is always great.
It is one of my secret methods for catching fish. I don't want to put all the secrets out there too quickly as people will think I'm some sort of wildlife criminal, lol
hey man great job hanging with the boy and having a great time very nice to see its something i missed out on my father was an over the road trucker so it wasnt his fault really he was doing what he could to provide for us anyhow I just felt great watching you guys having a time together keep up the great work
I am becoming that guy with the pressures of work unfortunately and good time like this spent with the children is all too precious and scarce as I am a taxi service for them now they are getting older and they themselves have a crazy amount of work from school to get through. The whole system of long work hours, crippling taxes, Prussian school system and spirit crushing TV is set up to limit family time and create weak minds so every time I get a chance to break them out of that cycle I take it....damn, I'm starting to sound like Alex Jones there, lol
Yes indeed - just getting time with family is so very hard when the pressures of work and their school commitments do their best to destroy precious family time.
Its so nice to see Richard .This type of video has high value for me .So much better that watching supposed metal detecting videos that has ever other word of F---ing in it and watching a bunch of tossers getting legless .
But I thought all detectorists were find faking, alcoholic, emaciated sociopaths? Least that's what popular culture would have us believing. Its good to associate with genuine people who buck that popular trend and are down to earth people as that really does make up the majority in the hobby. Too bad the fools in the hobby often ruin it for the genuine guys.
That happens in almost every sport but it seems to be prevalent in metal Detecting .This is a sport that is watched by a lot of kids.and there are idiots walking around with big rubber dicks dangling .What uncouth idiots they are . I am not a prude Richard and all for a laugh but keep stuff kids should not see private and not on film . I think it tells a lot about ones character when they do such things .
I'm not sure what or who you are referring to as I watch only a select few detecting videos from people I trust. Most of the clowns involved in fakery or drunken antics are blocked and banned so they don't even show up in related videos now. Just ignore the ass clowns, man.
It's awesome to see you take your children out for those types of activities. Seldom see parents nowadays doing that. Also good to se you've got the Dipper as well, it's our National bird here in Norway (In Norwegian: Fossakall) Keep the great videos coming, love from Norway
I can imagine that the dipper would be seen in good numbers with all the mountain streams you have in Norway and I can see why it would be your national bird so thanks for that information. Glad you enjoyed the video.
This a lovely video and the shot of the brown trout holding station at the start brings back so many memories, I've been fishing more than 50 years and I've never seen anyone 'pipe fishing' before, It's great the way the little trout are released unharmed and barely stressed. I remember about forty years ago I was fishing a small rivers tidal stretch, it might even have began as a stream as small as this. Anyway the river was about ten feet wide and with the tide in, I suppose it was about five feet deep. The farmer was cutting blackthorn branches that were overgrowing the stream some way above where we were fishing. All sorts of leaves and twigs were drifting out on the ebbing tide and the little brown trout were having a field day. Suddenly with most of the tide out a sea trout which were rare in low water began leaping all over the pool, sometimes coming three feet out of the water, and splashing wildly. He gradually settled down and floated still barely breathing into the side. My friend reached down and grabbed the fish which weighed about two and a half pounds and was covered in sea lice. We killed him straight away and examined him from top to bottom to try and find out what had happened to him. After a while we locked down his throat and there with some small leaves attached was a blackthorn about two inches in length. It seems the sea trout for some reason grabbed the small cluster of floating leaves and choked on the needle sharp thorn they were attached to.........strange things really do happen now and again,....Once again I loved your video, nothing is as beautifiul as a wild brown trout from a little mountain stream
Damn that was unfortunate for the seat trout but good for you if you had him to eat. I totally agree about brown trout from small streams as they are always very beautiful.
Wow that is a story that sounds like it could have come from a religious text - like food being delivered to a starving man, lol Sometimes fish will eat all manner of strange things and it looks like that unfortunate one was testing something new which didn't end well. There may have been insects of some sort clinging to the part it ate maybe? Either way I bet you were very grateful for that gift. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching.
blurlple lol that made me chuckle! I live in south west Scotland, that purple quartz is stunning, I love to collect stones with the family. if I could arrange to get a purple quartz fae ye that would be smashin
You'd be very disappointed with how the quartz looks when it is dry. We have the pieces under a leaky drainpipe to maintain their colour but on most days they look scratched up and white. Send me your address and as long as I've got a piece under 2kg (so it can go by post) I'll send it to you no worries. pondguru@btinternet.com
Awesome video. I would love to try this. It is illegal in the US as far as I know but I have got to find somewhere to try it out in my lifetime. Can you share your general location? I am very intrigued by the purple quartz in your area. The stream looks beautiful. I love our streams and they are mostly limestone.

Yes indeed - I spent most of my childhood alone shooting, fishing and trapping so it was great to spend this time with my son. I wish we lived in a world where we could spend more time with our children instead of being at work all the time just to make ends meet but it is what it is - we're tricked into economic slavery and not many people manage to break free from that spell. We supported James (in this video) all through his footballing career and now he's playing football for the worlds best sports university (Loughborough) so it's all good. I can only wonder how many promising sportspeople have ended up working mundane jobs just because they couldn't get the support from their parents and that's why both myself and my wife always made the commitment for our children to aspire to greater things. When I think how many kids have had their dreams shattered because of the economic slavery system it is very sad.
Yes and yes. Keeping the water right for marine fish is much more difficult but like anything the set-up is important. The better a tank and filter is set up the better it will perform and the less maintenance will be required.
love your video. these are skills that have almost disappeared in the countryside. children and parents these days can't seem to do things unless it's through a pc or some other electric device. My father and his friends used to do it similar but used a hessian sack. We've made a few daft videos about poaching etc (no live fish harmed, all set up) have a look at Auld Habits and other videos I've posted, you may get a giggle.
Awesome!! Loving this. I do the same things outdoors... Watching birds, looking for rocks (nice purple quartz!) and trying to fish with random gear but not out of survival, mostly because I don't always carry a fishing rod. You're lucky to have a kid to do that with. Will probably too some day. Subscribing!
I don't get much time out with the kids due to homework, clubs and the pressures of our work but when I do it is a great time. Thanks for watching and appreciating the videos.
Hi Richard.. love this video..you making your own words now? Blurple haha.. you are so funny. It's a great outing for you and your son! Your a great dad too!! Wow that was so cool. Someday I will come hang out with you!! Can we eat one of them yummy trout too? Have a wonderful weekend my friend.. I'm off to buy some fish!
I loved making this video as it showed a little known technique, it was successful and I spent good time with my son. Most of the time I am simply watching him play football and ferrying him to his mates house so to hive something back which related to my childhood was a good feeling. Glad you enjoyed it.
Hi Richard Great video, it took me back to when John Cowan and I used to use a similar method but with a black bucket. pobably at a similar age to your son. Hope you and the family are well! Alan Holmes
God damn, Alan Holmes - I remember shooting rats up at Highfield many years ago when you had the plague of them in the corn shed. How's it hanging? If that was in the Mereburn or stream below John Cowan's place you's be lucky to find a fish of any type there now as the local streams are almost devoid of them.
Very good mate, Lots of fun had on rat at Highfield, feels like a lifetime ago. I also remember spending day fishing on the Derwent river, then you taking me and catching a few in an hour!
Not sure where your next comment went - comments disappear into the ether on TH-cam, lol. I vaguely remember fishing the river then and I think John Welch may have been there too. There were way more fish in then than there are now. Where are you working now?
Not sure about that but I'm putting more effort into the shooting and editing of the videos as well as trying to do many more with an educational content so this will be like having my own TV channel.
+Pondguru Outdoors wasn't expecting a reply at all fair play . built a pond of my own after looking at your videos . keep up the hard work. Warren from Ireland
No worries, glad you enjoyed it. I wish I got more time for outdoor hobbies but its great to get out when I can. Thanks for watching and appreciating the video.
I have at least 10 videos planned which relate to aquariums and filtration which will start this month and contain lots of relevant useful information so look out for them - I'm really looking forward to making them.
This is in the upper Derwent Valley in County Durham. It's one of the only places in my area where there is actually fish in the streams as so many have been wiped out by mink and otters. The area I filmed this is well managed by the local gamekeepers so has an incredible range of wildlife.
Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching. I'm trying to make the videos more educational and informative as I'm not concerned about banging out videos for views. I get lots of satisfaction from these types of videos.
well Richard I must say of all the youtube videos around you certainly now how to explain and make the videos interesting,,there again i am bias with the accent lol ATB (richie)
Accent?? up here we speak proper English as it is where the language was born in Saxon times. Everyone else in the country has an accent, lol Glad you enjoyed the video, man. I love making the outdoor videos.
whats the point of catching those small trout? too small to eat so why would anyone devise such a method? are they any good in a pond? brown trout, or are they too aggressive to other small fishes
It is not a method which would be used outside of a survival situation and is purely for catching fish in small streams or crayfish in rivers for eating. If you're hungry the size is not important. I have a decent sized brown trout in my pond and plenty of rainbow / blue trout and they are all going to eat the rudd / roach fry once they get a taste for them but there are still plenty of fry left. They need well oxygenated water and my pond would probably be the minimum size I would recommend for stocking trout. It is plenty deep enough at around 6m.
Hi Richard great video ! at the end with the camera all over the shop footage , slow footage right down to speed .25 under "settings" freeze frame at 11.28 . Dog possibly , under fern . under branch with bird an Eye , right down at red line , teeth & 2 nostrils together . someones puppy perhaps ?
We did see two werewolf sized dogs the next time we visited and I have no idea what they were - looked like st bernard crossed with wolfhound and they weren't a pretty sight. I've slowed down the video and gone almost frame for frame around the time you suggest and I couldn't see anything. I should have my eyes tested.
Hi Richard , Could they be these Dogman type creature .? i have other videos of people in the UK. Saying they have heard a strange " yip ,yip" sound not a bark ! coming from the woods at night. .Have you heard any such sound ?The site i have been watching is called Whisper Walkers .UK have a look at that site . strange things are happening the forest of the UK. Can you keep me posted on what you find out ?
No they were definitely just huge dogs accompanied by a couple aged about 40 and a small pug. The pug looked like an ant next to the huge dogs. I tried to search for that site and all that comes up is Walkers crisps and a TH-cam channels with one video as well as a couple of facebook links. If you have a link to a proper website that would be great. I didn't visit the facebook one to see if that is the one you're referring to as I avoid facebook like the plague.
Nice video as always and that's some technique btw! Not sure wtf is wrong with youtube, I'm on my second account as my main one isn't showing your videos (or any of my subscriptions) and this was one of my first ever sub'd channels yeeeears ago :/ convinced it's something to do with the xbox YT app d#cking about with it... Microsoft... my own fault really.
Glad you enjoyed the video and it is indeed a great technique. TH-cam sometimes doesn't show comments which have been made or will duplicate them so I'm leaving new video comments now for 5-6 days before answering them and that seems to collate most of them to be available to answer.
in the so.eastern states of the us . fishermen get into the rivers and put their hand under shelves where the big catfish like to hang out. the fisherman puts his hand in and the catfish will go after it [ they call it noodleing } many a fine catfish has been caught using this method 25-35 lbs and they are delicious fried . we also have a non native specie called the asian carp they literally jump into your boat but are generally snagged with the slingbow asian carp are a very invasive species ,some are migrating northward up the mississippi even towards the great lakes which would be an ecological nightmare. in massachusetts there is a large population of great white sharks they prey upon the protected seal population , and even killer whales are now seen in massachusetts waters.
You have the full range of fish there, man. I've seen people noodling on the TV and the size of fish they pull out is incredible and I see some people have even been drowned by really large fish holding them under so they are brave to do that method.
I reckon I'd find nothing more than savaged fingers and severed arteries given the amount of things you have living over there which have more teeth than Michelle Obama.
What wonderful memories you are making with your son! Love it!
Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching.

I love these kind of videos, reminds me of my childhood, I used to be exploring rivers, ponds, woods etc. for wildlife nearly every day.
I was never in the house either, lol
Very nice video and it put a smile on my face. It's nice to see a father and son enjoying time together.
Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching.
I really enjoy your videos. Mainly I watch different practitioners to see others' takes on the methods other than what I use. I find it fantastic that you are passing this knowledge on to your boy.

Very cool demonstration on how to capture trout with a pipe. I really like these videos and also when you identify the surrounding fauna. Great job Richard 😉🙌
Yes it is a great method for catching fish in small streams and I'm trying to make a point to show some of the fauna and flora when I'm making these videos so I'm glad you appreciate them.
Great video to watch &learnt something to so many thanks. Also good to see Son and dad out together enjoying life.
Glad you enjoyed the video as I loved making it - thanks for watching.
Came here for the trout and got hooked by the purple rock because of Rockhounding love. haha Thank you! :)
lol, I'm glad you liked the video.
It really is informative. In our region, trout get caught in small pools when summer comes. We attempt to move them to larger places so this video really helps us in our efforts. Thank you!
Awesome - sounds like pipes will allow you to trap and move them safely.
Looks like you had a great day and I will have to try and give this a go next year :)
If you do catch fish this way it is a great achievement - always best to leave the pipes in for a few days then it is much easier as they have had time to become familiar with them.

Cheers for the swift delivery of the filter media.
No worries, glad it arrived in good condition.
Great video as usual and nice to see both of you sharing quality time
It is rare to share quality time so I think we both appreciate it - thanks for watching.
Nice to see youngsters out and about rather than in front of a screen of some sort. Sounds like your lad had a great time
Yes I would go out of my way to take the kids out to prevent them watching crap on the TV or internet and being ot sharing skills and animal / plant ID is always great.
never seen pipe method before rich ,good to watch mate
It is one of my secret methods for catching fish.
I don't want to put all the secrets out there too quickly as people will think I'm some sort of wildlife criminal, lol
Lol! Of course we're watching; it's because you talk about interesting stuff in beautiful places!
Glad you think so. I am trying to make the videos a bit more educational as I get the most satisfaction from that type of video.
Fantastic video so much nature and awesome fishing technique!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, man. I will try and get down to your place this coming week.
hey man great job hanging with the boy and having a great time very nice to see its something i missed out on my father was an over the road trucker so it wasnt his fault really he was doing what he could to provide for us anyhow I just felt great watching you guys having a time together keep up the great work

Brilliant video.
Glad you enjoyed it - we used to catch loads of fish this way back in the day when we were just about living in the woods.
I liked the video awesome seeing your son involved
I'm glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching.
I never heard of the pipe method of catching trout Richard. You did get one which makes for a good vid. GL&HH
It really boosts the chances of catching a fish when tickling is just too frustrating to be successful.

i guess Im pretty off topic but does anyone know a good website to watch new series online?
beautiful a proper childhood
Yes indeed - I spent most of my childhood alone shooting, fishing and trapping so it was great to spend this time with my son.
I wish we lived in a world where we could spend more time with our children instead of being at work all the time just to make ends meet but it is what it is - we're tricked into economic slavery and not many people manage to break free from that spell.
We supported James (in this video) all through his footballing career and now he's playing football for the worlds best sports university (Loughborough) so it's all good.
I can only wonder how many promising sportspeople have ended up working mundane jobs just because they couldn't get the support from their parents and that's why both myself and my wife always made the commitment for our children to aspire to greater things. When I think how many kids have had their dreams shattered because of the economic slavery system it is very sad.
Great video many thanks 👏👏👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching.
Hello there I've got a few questions about salt vs. fresh tanks, are salt tanks more expensive and higher maintenance than fresh water tanks ?
Yes and yes. Keeping the water right for marine fish is much more difficult but like anything the set-up is important. The better a tank and filter is set up the better it will perform and the less maintenance will be required.
very nice video! you've encountered a lot of animals and beautiful nature. . it was a pleasure to watch!
all the best,
hans
Glad you enjoyed it, man. Being out in the countryside is a great feeling.
Hello Pondguru I like very much your video. In France we say when you get a toad in your garden fortune will come!!! Bye
Toads and frogs are associated with good fortune in a few cultures and I certainly don't mind seeing them.
love your video. these are skills that have almost disappeared in the countryside. children and parents these days can't seem to do things unless it's through a pc or some other electric device. My father and his friends used to do it similar but used a hessian sack. We've made a few daft videos about poaching etc (no live fish harmed, all set up) have a look at Auld Habits and other videos I've posted, you may get a giggle.
Congratulations on 72,000 Subscribers!
Wow, I never noticed that thanks for pointing it out. I was going to do a series of give aways when I hit 70k and I missed that one, lol
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching.
Came for the fishing, blown away by the amethyst! Can I buy a piece of that amethyst?
Nice video.
Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching.
Really good fun enjoyed 🐟
Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching.
Awesome!! Loving this. I do the same things outdoors... Watching birds, looking for rocks (nice purple quartz!) and trying to fish with random gear but not out of survival, mostly because I don't always carry a fishing rod. You're lucky to have a kid to do that with. Will probably too some day. Subscribing!
I don't get much time out with the kids due to homework, clubs and the pressures of our work but when I do it is a great time. Thanks for watching and appreciating the videos.
Really enjoyable. Ty for the upload
Glad you enjoy the videos and I would make them every day if I could.
Hey..!! Great video my friend..!!
Glad you enjoyed it, man.
Always..!!
lucky lad to have a dad like yourself, good job!
Like most families we get precious little time out together due to school, work, etc. etc. but its great to get out when we can.
Hi Richard.. love this video..you making your own words now? Blurple haha.. you are so funny. It's a great outing for you and your son! Your a great dad too!! Wow that was so cool. Someday I will come hang out with you!! Can we eat one of them yummy trout too? Have a wonderful weekend my friend.. I'm off to buy some fish!
I loved making this video as it showed a little known technique, it was successful and I spent good time with my son. Most of the time I am simply watching him play football and ferrying him to his mates house so to hive something back which related to my childhood was a good feeling. Glad you enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed the video as I love making the outdoor videos. This pipe method is very effective as tickling trout is very difficult.
Hi I really like your videos any chance I could ask a question
Hi Richard
Great video, it took me back to when John Cowan and I used to use a similar method but with a black bucket. pobably at a similar age to your son. Hope you and the family are well!
Alan Holmes
God damn, Alan Holmes - I remember shooting rats up at Highfield many years ago when you had the plague of them in the corn shed. How's it hanging?
If that was in the Mereburn or stream below John Cowan's place you's be lucky to find a fish of any type there now as the local streams are almost devoid of them.
Very good mate,
Lots of fun had on rat at Highfield, feels like a lifetime ago.
I also remember spending day fishing on the Derwent river, then you taking me and catching a few in an hour!
Not sure where your next comment went - comments disappear into the ether on TH-cam, lol.
I vaguely remember fishing the river then and I think John Welch may have been there too. There were way more fish in then than there are now.
Where are you working now?
top bloke you should have your own show TV
Not sure about that but I'm putting more effort into the shooting and editing of the videos as well as trying to do many more with an educational content so this will be like having my own TV channel.
+Pondguru Outdoors wasn't expecting a reply at all fair play . built a pond of my own after looking at your videos . keep up the hard work. Warren from Ireland
The out takes 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching.
Well done!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching.
Great video thanks mate ''
No worries, glad you enjoyed it. I wish I got more time for outdoor hobbies but its great to get out when I can.
Thanks for watching and appreciating the video.
a joy to watch !! blessings !!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching.
This sort of stuff should be on the primary school curiculum. Not enough kids get out of doors to see wildlife in the UK any more.
love your vids!
I love making them so we're both happy, lol
Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching.
Really enjoyed this. Where in the country are you?
I live just West of Newcastle (about 12 miles) but this was further West up in my local hills.
a beautiful place...
Do you think you'll ever do aquarium videos again? I would love to see some more.
I have at least 10 videos planned which relate to aquariums and filtration which will start this month and contain lots of relevant useful information so look out for them - I'm really looking forward to making them.
+Pondguru Outdoors Thanks!
Awesome my Friend(s)!
Glad you enjoyed it as I would be out every day if I didn't have to work.
New Sub from CCT
Groovy, hopefully you will like the videos.
Awesome video as always :)
Definitely Bigfoot. :)
Great video ~thanks guys.
lol, Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching.
I was smiling the whole way through :)
Glad you enjoyed it as I love making the outdoor videos.
this is easy,but small trouts hang in highly proctected plantmass and under rocks,try move them to scare them in a openspace then net them
Loving your videos, where abouts in the uk are you from? I'm from Durham myself
Glad you enjoy the videos - I live about 25 mins North of you near Ebchester.
Where are you at? It's absolutely beautiful.
This is in the upper Derwent Valley in County Durham. It's one of the only places in my area where there is actually fish in the streams as so many have been wiped out by mink and otters. The area I filmed this is well managed by the local gamekeepers so has an incredible range of wildlife.
great video! been loving your content lately!
Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching.
I'm trying to make the videos more educational and informative as I'm not concerned about banging out videos for views. I get lots of satisfaction from these types of videos.
What is Roe Deer??
Raw fillet mignon 'maxi'
well Richard I must say of all the youtube videos around you certainly now how to explain and make the videos interesting,,there again i am bias with the accent lol ATB (richie)
Accent?? up here we speak proper English as it is where the language was born in Saxon times. Everyone else in the country has an accent, lol
Glad you enjoyed the video, man. I love making the outdoor videos.
almost have to have a small line with a bobber attached to the pipes so u know where u put them.
If the water was coloured that would be necessary, yes.
I'm not sticking my hand in some blind spot. With my luck I'd catch a Water Moccasin.
not in england you wouldnt lol
Xtoriez Novel i would get my hand shredded by a huge eel in straya
What is the difference between a frog and a toad, I use to know, have forgotten now, Over.
Frogs can jump well and toads tend to walk, toads have warty skin and yellow eyes, frogs have pointy head sand toads are more rounded.
whats the point of catching those small trout? too small to eat so why would anyone devise such a method? are they any good in a pond? brown trout, or are they too aggressive to other small fishes
It is not a method which would be used outside of a survival situation and is purely for catching fish in small streams or crayfish in rivers for eating. If you're hungry the size is not important.
I have a decent sized brown trout in my pond and plenty of rainbow / blue trout and they are all going to eat the rudd / roach fry once they get a taste for them but there are still plenty of fry left. They need well oxygenated water and my pond would probably be the minimum size I would recommend for stocking trout. It is plenty deep enough at around 6m.
Hi Richard great video ! at the end with the camera all over the shop footage , slow footage right down to speed .25 under "settings" freeze frame at 11.28 . Dog possibly , under fern . under branch with bird an Eye , right down at red line , teeth & 2 nostrils together . someones puppy perhaps ?
We did see two werewolf sized dogs the next time we visited and I have no idea what they were - looked like st bernard crossed with wolfhound and they weren't a pretty sight.
I've slowed down the video and gone almost frame for frame around the time you suggest and I couldn't see anything. I should have my eyes tested.
Hi Richard , Could they be these Dogman type creature .? i have other videos of people in the UK. Saying they have heard a strange " yip ,yip" sound not a bark ! coming from the woods at night. .Have you heard any such sound ?The site i have been watching is called Whisper Walkers .UK have a look at that site . strange things are happening the forest of the UK. Can you keep me posted on what you find out ?
No they were definitely just huge dogs accompanied by a couple aged about 40 and a small pug. The pug looked like an ant next to the huge dogs.
I tried to search for that site and all that comes up is Walkers crisps and a TH-cam channels with one video as well as a couple of facebook links. If you have a link to a proper website that would be great. I didn't visit the facebook one to see if that is the one you're referring to as I avoid facebook like the plague.
ok i'll try and get the web page for you .
Hi Richard the only group i could find is on Face Book ...facebook.com/groups/britishbigfootresearch/
Nice video as always and that's some technique btw!
Not sure wtf is wrong with youtube, I'm on my second account as my main one isn't showing your videos (or any of my subscriptions) and this was one of my first ever sub'd channels yeeeears ago :/ convinced it's something to do with the xbox YT app d#cking about with it... Microsoft... my own fault really.
Glad you enjoyed the video and it is indeed a great technique.
TH-cam sometimes doesn't show comments which have been made or will duplicate them so I'm leaving new video comments now for 5-6 days before answering them and that seems to collate most of them to be available to answer.
that is brook trout I am a very experienced fisherman
I can assure you 100% it is a Brown Trout. I'm assuming you are not from the UK?
Isaac Shortt brown
Isaac Shortt u would be right m8
It’s a brown trout
Liam But nope it's a brook, I'm Canadian and we have plenty of each, they do look similar though
in the so.eastern states of the us . fishermen get into the rivers and put their hand under shelves where the big catfish like to hang out. the fisherman puts his hand in and the catfish will go after it [ they call it noodleing } many a fine catfish has been caught using this method 25-35 lbs and they are delicious fried . we also have a non native specie called the asian carp they literally jump into your boat but are generally snagged with the slingbow asian carp are a very invasive species ,some are migrating northward up the mississippi even towards the great lakes which would be an ecological nightmare. in massachusetts there is a large population of great white sharks they prey upon the protected seal population , and even killer whales are now seen in massachusetts waters.
You have the full range of fish there, man.
I've seen people noodling on the TV and the size of fish they pull out is incredible and I see some people have even been drowned by really large fish holding them under so they are brave to do that method.
Around here a snapping turtle or a snake would have you if you went around noodling for fish.
Lol blurple
Come stick your hands under the river banks in Australia see what you find😀
I reckon I'd find nothing more than savaged fingers and severed arteries given the amount of things you have living over there which have more teeth than Michelle Obama.
Um, you need a bigger pipe!
Removing the natural hiding spots is an atrocious thing to do.
it's blurple hahahahahahaha
lol, yeah that is a good one. Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching.
