Creek Fishing 🎣
TAFishing i really miss your beach fishing
TAFishing I loved this video, my kinda fishing 🎣
Pier fishing for Bass done just 2 days ago !!!!!!
This spot looks a great spot to come back to Graeme. Bring Waders next time though, get to all those spots that you cant fish from the bank.
Great video btw.
I really enjoyed that Graeme! Its my kind of fishng too.
Imagine having a dad like Graeme ?
I didn't,but get loads of inspiration from this geezer to pass on to my son.
A truly,lovely guy.
Why isn't he on tv ?
He would be a great TV presenter...Fishing with Graeme...I can imagine it.
Ted Ex I did my dad started me on the Thames at Abingdon when I was 5 we moved there from darwen whilst he was on the power stations
So for 5 yrs till we moved back up north I had some great fishing learning all the time
My health is poor now I miss 🎣 fishing best ever day hammering big bream on local resi o
Using the pole and sweetcorn best day ever
He won't know this but yes he is my dad,
Unbeknown to him
Take me fishing dad 👍😎
right there with you mate :)
Great shout
I’m sat here 3am watching the most wholesome TH-camr ever life’s good
that was one of the most interesting and enjoyable videos I've seen in many a year. It took me back to the days of Jack Hargreaves and Out of Town. Please keep them coming
Ahh yes... Jack Hargreaves. I used to Love watching those. Guess what I'm just about to search for now? :O)
Jack Hargreaves, fantastic
Now this, is what fishing is all about 🎣 rod, reel and a back pack ❤
*knapsac
We're all truly lucky to have GP and this channel, one of the Uks finest anglers.
4 years on and i still keep coming back to this episode. All time TAF favourite
This has to go into my top ten of TAFishing videos.
Wasn't that refreshing to see an angler without a trolley load of tackle catching those lovely fish in a tiny stream. That is dream fishing.
A man after my own heart. Somebody who values what fishing is really all about. Not just catching fish but cherishing every part of a day out in nature. I used to skive off school to go fishing, as school life was so shite. Thankyou for this video Graham , you took me straight back to my childhood.. The good part !
This episode had a great back to your roots feeling about it.
I absolutely love this guy, on top of being a bloody top bloke.. extremely knowledgable fisherman and TH-cam extrodinaire, hes actually very funny and witty
Love these video's by this fellow. I remember many years ago being a kid at school and recognising good teachers from bad teachers, the good teachers had enthusiasm and consequently made every lesson a bit of a adventure. This fellow is the same, his enthusiasm for all around him makes it all the more interesting.
1. Graeme must have some serious cojones to walk through that field!!
2. Absolutely loved this format. There was genuine anticipation of where and what he'd catch next.
More of this!
@ You're very unlikely to be interesting to a herd of cows unless they have calves and you have a dog on a lead.
@@rjk69 That's what I just said Sparky.
But the most dangerous and aggressive circumstances you can see a cattle in, is a Cow who has just had her Calf took off her to be veal. They have to be separated from the herd in a field by them self until they get over it, because them mad with grief, and they will kill you. If you in a tractor, they will kill the tractor too.
This was the first youtube video of yours I started watching over a year ago and for some reason at the time never got into it.
Now having watched numerous videos of yours this came back up for some reason, and I thoroughly enjoyed the simplicity of it all, that little stream/river I could fish for hours.
Cracking video!
How can you dislike this video? A guy with great energy, fishing a place we all probably or most of us started at when we were young. A fun time out and a great watch.. Whats to dislike
Its probably just the keyboard warriors that I have to remove and block.
@@TAFishing True. Odd people lol.. Anyway I miss little streams and my old fishing rods, style of fishing, roaming around fields finding little backwaters with lots of surpises in them and so on. What with huge lakes and the latest tackle etc taking over our lives now days as you well know. I think it takes little videos like this now and then to realise just how much I miss those things sometimes!
Best fishing show! Shows the reality, not like others fishing in a private lake which is more like an aquarium where anybody can catch fish. Appreciate your work!
Love your channel. It's the best for information, and SO gripping in entertainment value. I have to say, of all the hundreds of TH-cam videos I've watched about fishing, you are the go to TH-cam channel for me. I've taken note of the venues you fish, the rigs you use and methods and found them inspirational. You're old school with a modern application. Totally works! I look forward to every posting. If ever you stopped, it would be a tragic loss. God bless you (selfishly) with many, many more episodes
More to come..worry not...
Thank you Graham that took me back 50 years, to some of the best fishing and times of my life.
Graham I absolutely loved watching this vid, for me this is in your top 3 ever! Forget commercials this is proper fishing, and what a great mixed bag of species!! Please do more like this 👍
Graeme great video again I am 61 and you have taken me back to when I was a child fishing small streams in the summer holidays.
My eldest son has a friend who is limited by finance and transportation but not by imagination.
The exploration of the small streams on the catchment of the rivers wampool and waver is sheer joy. Returning to childhood, a rod, a reel and a bike is fantastic.
This is such a charming video. From huge Conger and sharks to this! Utter dedication to the art and joy of being an angler.
25:00 and 30:00 😆 " mcdonalds, ehhmmmmm hmmmm .." and the "Asian guy in the field" .... omg man... u have a knack for making me smile ... your sense of humor is so comforting .. I nearly sent my coffee across the room... 💙 Happy Day Graeme ...
Brilliant absolutely bloody brilliant I would like to see you go back with a proper rod, landing net and wellies or waders when the jungle dies back, imagine what's there waiting to be caught! It's a thumbs up from me. Good job sir.
lee....... my thoughts exactly- please go back when weed and leaf free in winter Graeme and take a proper rod or 2 and waders and an extending landing net .
The passion this guy has got for any and every form of fishing and life in general, is the reason I fish. Fishing is a magical thing. Absolutely love it. Keep it up graham.
Thanks for sharing the trip down memorylane. Funny, the older we get, the happier our childhood were. I almost lived autdoors when I was a kid. Every garden and field I feel belonge to me. Denmark
Just a brilliant watch. This channel certainly lives up to its name. With all the ultra detailed carpy type programmes out there going into minute scientific detail about latest technology rigs and bait enhancers etc.. it's nice to have a channel that reminds us why we started, the enjoyment of getting out thereand catching. Graham hats off.
Probably the best Video you have ever produced, absolutely stunning! Bravo Sir.
Thats really cool, In the US they don't have open foot paths through farmland, our farmers would be chasing you down with an AR15 as soon as you left your car to escort you off their property.
It is pretty cool, but it's not exactly open footpaths over here as it may seem. We have some public footpaths through farm land but some farm land has zero public access. I am not exactly sure how much choice farmers have about public footpaths on their land the local council would decide that I think. But their land is definitely not free to roam and even if there is a footpath through their land, you are not allowed to stray from the path. So if the path was in the middle or edge of a field and the river is on the other side technically you wouldn't be able to access the river without trespassing. Also farmers in the UK don't generally have AR15'S however most have 12gauge shot guns and have been known to shoot people on their land using salt in the cartridges instead of lead shot, painful but not deadly at least.
Absolutely loved this one! I was thinking at the beginning that bull would burst through the hedge, camera drops to the floor and it recorded you legging it!! What a great session and the species caught plus the big chub must of made it a memorable day. Shame the colder weathers coming would love to see another vid like this.
Looks great fun you really have the biggest passion for what you do. Makes the videos so much better. Your childhood is relived
Just wanted to say thankyou for your videos. This one brings back some very precious and beautiful memories of fishing farm ponds with my dad. He would approve of your approach and philosophy of fishing. Appreciation of beauty and simplicity! Great work.
Brillliant... just bought a telescopic rod and about to buy membership to local clubs, all because you are the king of hobby . thank you.
The best video you’ve done Graeme. Just a fantastic adventure !
I could care less for fishing but your excitement is absolutely infectious. subscribed!
Thanks so much for taking us on this adventure with you. I'ts a gem of video and I enjoyed it immensely.
Fabulous video this one. Reminds me of when I was a kid back in the UK. 72 years old now - still miss it.
I really love creek fishing. Awesome work with the big Chub!
Love all your videos but there is something magical with these wild fishing ones . Must be childhood memories of catching dace and small perch . More please
Great video. My local river stream/river never had much in it: small trout, bullheads and sticklebacks, but it's now over abstracted and not even wet. All overgrown with weeds and you can walk down it. Makes me want to spit.
You were safe the whole time the bull didnt have any legs according to the sign. You playing with the exploding seed pod reminds me of a plant that i played with as a kid. It looks like mimosa leaves and soon as you touch it they close like a book. Great vid i like your enthusiasm and humor.
I wish I could like twice. It is so great that you could go back and fish from when you were young. Little fish and different from your normal videos, but so enjoyable.
Just love your videos Graham, every one a gem for a whole different reason. Keep them coming 👍🏼
Graham, a nap sack was a piece of cloth with the 4 corners brought together and tied and put on a stick which you carried over your shoulder. not a lot of people know that.
The cloth tied at the 4 corners was also called a bindle, tied onto a bindlestaff.
You should be on tv . Id watch it all day. Keep up the good work 😊
Thanks Graham for another great fishing session, took me right back to when i first started fishing catching Gudgeon on my local pond 😀
Fantastic fishing Graeme. Those pink flowers are Himalayan Balsam. They are actually an invasive species and grow like crazy due to them popping and spreading their seeds.
but luckily they will help the bees
Peter Tomlinson I don't see how they will help the bees. Ok they have their flowers but you wouldn't believe how many other plants Himalayan Balsam wipe out once it's in an area.
fast growing, lots of pollen of course they will help.
Looking through your 'back catalogue' and found this gem of a video. Felt like I was a kid again catching 3 inch gudgeon and cooking my dinner on a primus. This is my favourite film you've done (and I'm usually more a sea fisherman these days). Deserves to be in the TA Fishing 'Gold collection' one day!
Wow what a fantastic vid. You have brought back so many memories to a lot of us oldies. Who did exactly the same 50 years ago. Only then I had a 7' cane rod and an old starback reel and porcupine floats. You must be Britains BEST ALLROUND ANGLER. OBE material I hope. Thankyou.
Glad I found this channel from TA outdoors, absolute character haha wasn't bored through the whole video
Awesome, this is what it's all about mate. Reminds me of my childhood.
LittleRestraint well said I was thinking the same thing me and my older brother used to go every week end to plasers like that some of the best memories.
I love that you can tramp around the countryside on marked paths.
Still too many Brits hanging about, but what a sweet arrangement.
Thanks G.
Looked like a great time and a beautiful walk. Thanks for taking us along
Awesome fish Graeme! I'm not in the least surprised with that big chub. 99% of my fishing is done in tiny streams like that, I just love catching fish that other people don't even know exist.
me too mate, but i never come across chub like this???? any tips for the big ones, when i fish tiny streams they top out at about 1lb. i am not one to chase numbers and digits but a bigger fish would be nice
BUSHCRAPPING i find breadflake can sort out the bigger ones sometimes as its a larger bait. Lure fishing (which is my most common method) can throw up surprises as well, i like mepps spinners best or sometimes a rubber jig. Maybe target the deeper bends and pools. Luckily for me though there's lots of fish between 2-3lb in my local river
never normally fish bread my local river is just like this with some faster sections i catch fish, dace,brownie,chub,grayling but never big ones the biggest ever was a 3.5lb brownie but that was a one off atleast i know the big ones are there, i do lure fish mostly spinners but usually on ponds the river is very snaggy and a jungle and shallow ha so its hard to find enough swims worth walking the distance for a few casts. my usual method for these tiny river multispecies is a worm under a float i feel like with such a nice juicy bait i dont really need to worry about groundbait and also my theory is worms and maggots are a "natural" food whereas bread they would have to learn its actually food ha.
i actually did a little session that got cut short today float and worm caught a chub(which was the target) a grayling and a dace or grayling fell off the hook.
im wondering whether i should try a ledger tomorrow with bread and worm, i catch nice perch on the river at the weir with a ledger but havent had much luck on other species. couple of browns in floody conditions.
with these tiny swims like in the video is it worth using a small cage feeder or better just to throw it in? thats why i like trotting as you can check the whole swim without waiting around for nothing.
The plants we enjoy here which burst forth their seeds when touched are orange in flower and called snap draggons.We have the same yellow perch and the chubs as you call them are shiners. The dace are similar to the shiner also.
This is one of my favourite videos Graeme. Keep it up!
Fantastic. Watched for years but this really engaged me. Loved the back story. I now want to fish my childhood haunts (in Ireland) and the tiny streams next to me (100 yards from house....more shame me). More of the same please.
Absolutely blooming amazing video, nothing fancy just some proper exploring and fishing! Also, at 20:48 that plant is Himalayan Balsam and is extremely invasive! It’s superbly pretty but is ruining the biodiversity along river banks across England! I used to go out along the river Tyne with my grandpa every year and go ‘balsam bashing’ and pull it up before the seeds popped! For all anglers out there, pull it up if you see the odd one on its own to stop that area being invaded!🙂 when there’s a huge group, there’s unfortunately not a lot of hope unless you spend an extensive period pulling it up lol. But yes, it’s a pretty but unfortunately also a pretty awful plant!! Again, top video.
Super stuff Graeme! Small stream fishing is a world of wonder even as you grow older.
What a charming video 😊 Those exploding flower pods are from Himalayan Balsam. An invasive species brought over to the UK by the Victorians.
Aye! And they crowd out other plants, die back in autumn/winter leaving the banks pretty bare. This then allows for erosion to damage the banks, creating flooding/silting.
I remember watching mister Graeme fishing for barracuda with his kids on a boat using pin fish for bait, that was a long time ago... I enjoy watching his videos there's always something of everything for everyone...
One of your best ......reminds me of fishing a small pond that was hidden away in my local park when I was a lad.....hours of fun catching the small fish that lived in it.....
Awesome video mate, you can't beat river fishing in places like these. I have a little secret gem of a place to fish in my area but this place looks so remote and so peaceful, great video
I really like the 'traveling light', everything in a knapsack approach. I think I'll pick up a pen rod, and a 7 to 9' telescopic rod for the same purpose.
I'm looking forward to more packing light, on foot fishing videos from TAF in the future!
What a nice day fishing. I too used to fish the small streams. This was a trip down memory lane.
Enjoyed this one very much, reminded me exactly how I fished when I was a boy, great stuff
What a smashing video. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for posting
Brilliant video as usual, you should have a tv show Graeme, laughed so much especially across the bull field. Class.
Really enjoyed this video, can't think of a better way to spend a day. I would happily watch more like this, cheers
always the best fishing videos on youtube, I used do lots of fishing like that when I was younger but all the river was private so we had to fish covert all the time which made for some interesting times being cashed off by land owners a lot;)
Probably the best TAF vid I've seen. That's my sort of fishing.
Great video. I used to pop those pods all the time. Blimey. What a Sergeant at the end. Takes me back to my Colne Valley days.
Great Yank impression! I really enjoyed this one! Reminded me of fishin' as a kid here in Pennsylvania. You crack me up! Love it!
Next time try a yo-zuri pins minnow! I have great success in small streams with them.
Lol just to show I'm paying attention Graham, your knapsack turned into a backpack near the end lol loved the video ... too many places not loved enough, but hey ho if you'd have kept fishing than burn you'd already know each and every fish by name 😁
This is what fishing is all about. Wonderful video.
One fit man for 66yrs young and a great fisherman. Good man Graeme 👍
Great video. Love this kind of fishing, hope there's more to come.
i love your video's brings me back to the old days when i was a kid fishing in all the places that are gone now dun in by the housing boom it's nice to see someone fishing the tiny streams were the big and small ones are thank you
Love how you landed that chub mate, Proper fishing
Don't get no better than that! I really enjoyed your fishing adventure...thanks for taking us along. Greg from the foothills of California ;o)
well for backpacks you can split them into different categories, a rucksack and a knapsack. The rucksack is a large backpack and is used for things like hiking and camping where as a knapsack is much smaller, usually tougher but for one day use only
Haha. This is like the single most entertaining thing I've ever watched on TH-cam
Fantastic video..watched allway thru..felt like i was out on the bank with you..keep it up!! N that chub..wow...will try small streams from now on...
What a great video and bloke. Cracked me up when he said according to the sign the bull only has one eye 😂
How did you manage to film my childhood? Cycling the country lanes as a schoolboy, 5' Woolworths rod strapped to the frame, searching out brooks and streams for loaches, gudgeon, roach and....Holy Grail...big chub. Never quite managed to land the chub as it walzed back into the tree roots and spat the hook. Happy days.
Awesome stuff. I love walking new people by the “popping seeds “ to give them a new surprise. I’m 34 and still do it every chance I get
Ha ha dont you get lost Graeme, always such a pleasure to watch, fantastic channel, machine gun for canadar geese lol lol, three mile walk, really.
A lotch fish I remember them, how about the little Millers Thumb, ouch nettles, wow what a Chub, oh well done thats amazing, but a good example,
dont over look a small stream. dont worry brown trousers no one will know lol.
Really miss the Dace Thames fishing mate, a gudgen again not cought one for a long time, this is brilliant, love the walk and talk happy with my coffee to watch this.
Fantastic needs a work party organising to help the flow .I have recently found a really small pond full of Crucian carp little bars of gold.
Grew up fishing that very river in the late 60s and 70s, always had some good fish in there.
Absolutely loved this, what fishing is all about brilliant episode 👍
Same here. When I was a kid, I fished the lake in the local park. We only really caught gudgeon and sometimes a roach as a bonus but it was great fun.
mr taylor was right i took my nephew to a small river where me and my dad fished years ago use to get trout 2lb ish grayling went to spot where me and my nephew s grandad {my dad} fished all gone quite sad thinking of me and my dad the fun over 50yrs ago now love your sence of humour keep the vids comming good health to you both
Just come across the gem! Love this, hoping to take my little one for some small stream fishing this year. Enjoyed the commentary across the Bull field 😆. The plant with the exploding seed pods is Himalayan balsam. Unfortunately is an invasive nonnative and is responsible for bank collapses as it’s a shallow rooted annual that smothers out native river bank plants leaving the bank bare in winter.
I'm glad you profiled that oak and the flora.I don't live in the UK and am always curious about such things
Brings back so many memories of me fishing my local when I was a kid, always after gudgeon and perch, eastern Yar 😉😁
Another great video. Only you could catch something in a bloody river ford! Takes me back t being a kid. Keep up the videos Graeme and Mike. Enjoying and learning a lot from these.
Takes me back. Used to stay out all night fishing early 60s. We used to cook using diesel in a can full of sand.
Thank you for another brilliant video. My heart almost stopped when you walked passed those one-eyed bulls. Let me know if you come to Sweden to fish for salmon in the fierce rivers we have here.
Absolutely brilliant video, loved the exploring and many species. keep up the good work guys. I'd love to see a return to this spot in winter.
That chub was just ridiculous!! That pen rod was under some serious pressure 😂
