Believe it or not this little river was actually running off from a minor flood, so it was a foot or two higher than usual. That could be why the fish were so active. The last swim where I was catching those chub usually runs just a few inches deep! As usual thank you guys for the support! Its crazy to think that in just a couple of weeks I could be at 100k subs!
Often fish a flood relief drain, which is more like a small stream, always fishes its head off when the locks have just been closed and the water starts to subside! Have to say after watching so many of your videos what a top angler you are, I've been fishing 30 years but you keep suprising me with the methods and fish you catch using them!
I last fished at the age of 13yrs old, my life has always been firmly entrenched with nature though - and now professionally as a filmmaker. I'm a little on my back foot with fishermen that I meet as most, knowing my penchant for the whole bag, tend to start demonising otter and cormorant within a minute or two. I don't know your opinions, nor do I want to as you've just given me 20mins of happiness being on a wild tributary and seeing the most beautiful of specimens across the board (loved that Perch). You're clearly a lover of life and show great care - thanks for the experience (and bringing back a few memories). Si.
In terms of methods, quality, variety of species and time frame, I think this is probably the best fishing session I have seen on any freshwater fishing channel
Absolutely this! I'm so jealous of the setting. Small intimate environment, light rod, multiple species. This is more entertaining than any 40lb carp vid.
I agree. Small river fishing in flood recess is the ultimate… Never seen such a large wild trout. You did great, awesome session, awesome fish … great recording. Well done
Oh yes. I also love the old school style. Product placement and high tech gear is a turn off. I do sometimes use a sonar but mostly for ice fishing, I live in Canada by the way. Cheers
That's a great size wild brown. It's great to know there are still streams / small rivers like this where you can get such stunning sport. Dream session !
I was long trotting with red maggot on the River Alyn on Wednesday afternoon in the sunshine, stood in the middle of it ( 3ft deep) in my chest waders pulling nice Grayling, Chub and Brownies out for fun, it was epic and great to be out and about, getting back out up the bank is always the "fun" bit 😂😂, lovely vid dude 👍
That is a big old wild trout you caught,I've only ever caught one of similar size I couldn't get the smile of my face for hours afterwards. You had a session some of us could only dream of well done and thanks for sharing
Memories. I used to do exactly what you did here on a local stream near me called the sow nr Eccleshall in staffs. Used to catch perch that size and chub, not quite as big. Unfortunately, due to dodgy legs, I'm unable to keep it up. Your vid was fantastic. I think I was watching with a stupid grin on my chops.😆
I haven't stopped in to watch you before. Kerry here from 🇨🇦🇨🇦. I mostly fly fish in freshwater but I occasionally go out with ultralight gear in the ocean or new backwaters. I have a friend in a distant country who fly fishes for big chub, aren't they a beautiful fish? Your approaches tell me you know quite well what you are doing and I appreciate your skill. People often get this idea that many of the "Coarse fish are junk fish but they are not. You folks have a pretty good variety of fish and most are beautiful when you look at them. I'm not a fan of Pike Fishing really, unless they smash surface lures, that can be heart stopping! I watched you grab a good sized Pike under the Gill Plate! Man that can slice up your fingers, please be careful!! That was a nice Brown you caught, put up a good scrap, you released it well. A great day on the water no matter what you are fishing. You handle fish very well, I'm happy you had a great day!
WoW what a fish it's not common that you catch trout Well play I'm french sorry for the fault if there are any I'm not sure but crazy vidéo! You have stuch a good spot mate keep on going like that !!! Love your content it make me smile ! Thanks for all
Fantastic session - great to watch! First time I've seen you so I obviously subscribed - these small streams can be great to fish, really dynamic - that browny is a fish to be proud of - but the chub and perch were all specimens in their own right - cheers!
Love your videos always go into detail of how your setups are what lures you’re using what line you’ve got on ..your hook size everything is set out in detail for us, novice fishing men I’m surprised you spend that much time making videos with all them kids you’ve got
They’re super healthy fish !!! I never know where to go fishing , the places you go (although you never mention exactly where ) look brilliant and as a trout fisherman I’m extremely envious of that brown trout catch what a stunning fish !!!
Absolutely huge Brownie! When you said 50cm long I choked on my coffee. I used to fish small Becks growing up and never saw anything this big! Great multi species video!
Just discovered your channel. I live in Texas and Love freshwater fishing! I watch these fishing videos sometimes. Never from a different country. I've never wondered until now about freshwater fishing in England. Never realized there was such nice fishing there! For some reason I assumed the freshwater fish were much smaller! Also, interesting to know the similarities of fishing equipment and techniques between Texas and England! I read the "about" section....and like a true fisherman....you are not revealing your fishing spots! I Love It! Here in Texas; you give away an unmolested fishing spot....it will quickly be overfished and polluted with trash! I had to google info. about your Perch and Chub. We have Trout and Pike here in the US. Not many Pike and Trout here in Texas. The ones we have are small. The further North one goes in the US; the bigger and more available both Pike and Trout can be found. We're known more for Largemouth Bass, Alligator Gar, and Catfish. Thank You for this education!
Absolutely fantastic video Chris. None stop action all the way through. Just seriously deserve more than 100 thousand subscribers. Look forward to the next video Chris 👍
Really nice vid, nice small river and the chub are really a good substitute for trout. A lot greener vegetation and clear water in the river when you compare it to our river in the southern Finland. Keep on filming, really am a big fan of your channel!
Love that your showing your hardbait you use on every cast, really cool spots no one would probably go to...carry on ...following your show now, Greets from 🇩🇪
Really like watching your channel, it’s probably the only fishing channel I watch now. Basic but Affective👌🏽 Gave me the hunger to get back at it myself & the fish you catch 🤯
Well done Chris, what an awesome session. Your best video for a while, really enjoyed it and jealous of all the different venues you have in your area.
Having a pair of waders is a must have for your adventures 😄 Those fish were just perfect, and that Trout was a stunner. I treated myself to a similar Perch stick rod a while ago and I Love it ! Been catching some Carp on it recently up to 9lb and it handled them with ease. Another great video... Thanks for sharing.
I have never seen anyone make fishing look so easy. Plus you are filming it. I think in this one video you have caught more fish than Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse Gone Fishing have in all their series. That brown trout would have made a very tasty meal.
Another great video Chris, thank you. It must be such a drag for you having to churn these out for us mere mortals, bet you really missing your old job 🤣🤣
Cracking video again sir that brownie was a cracker you hit it perfectly when river is just settled after a flood have had some great days when river is just settling down fish seem to be on the feed
"Chub" where I am from are either "bait" or "trash fish". The pike was awesome. The trout was AMAZING!!! (and, to be honest, ALL of the fish you caught are bugger than what I usually catch)!
Great video! There is a similar little stream close to where I live. The largest trout I have ever caught at 6.5lbs was from it, and I have also have a 5.5lb chubb from there too. Never overlook the little streams, they hold some big fish!
Agree with everyone. Great videos great content and I love the fact you love the sport so much .personally think your by far the best on TH-cam for info and quality.keep it up Chris.
Never comment but been a sub for a while and watched nearly all your videos, this little stream reminds me of a little place i fished for trout as a kid. love the content keep it coming tight lines and stay safe 👍
You were really lucky to get permission to fish that river. Where I live all such waters are owned by syndicates or very exclusive clubs. This is because they're filled with fish as you provided, a great trout.
Believe it or not this little river was actually running off from a minor flood, so it was a foot or two higher than usual. That could be why the fish were so active. The last swim where I was catching those chub usually runs just a few inches deep! As usual thank you guys for the support! Its crazy to think that in just a couple of weeks I could be at 100k subs!
Do a special episode for 100k Fishing with a fan maybe? I'd love to have a session with you and learn the river better 👌
Often fish a flood relief drain, which is more like a small stream, always fishes its head off when the locks have just been closed and the water starts to subside!
Have to say after watching so many of your videos what a top angler you are, I've been fishing 30 years but you keep suprising me with the methods and fish you catch using them!
you deserve all the subs, the effort that you put in to get the fish, films, and time that it must take, hats off to you mate !
You deserve every bit of it man, not a single one of your videos gets skipped by me!
Great job lad 💪

You are one of the last dinos having fun without the echo and all the commercial stuff. Love it. Hi5 from Poland!

One of the best sessions ever on TH-cam - you fish with enthusiasm and respect for the fish - excellent Chris thank you

The variety and size of the fish was impressive! This is my kind of fishing, smaller river, wading and spinning. Great fun. Great video.
Memories.

Never caught a Brownie before but if any video was gonna make me go out in search of one, its this video. What a beautiful fish.
These chub were absolutely mint! That trout was gorgeous! What a beauty! Nice perch too. What a brilliant session!
Brilliant! You're up there with Hayes and Wilson as a fishing presenter.
I haven't stopped in to watch you before. Kerry here from 🇨🇦🇨🇦.

That was a great watch and that brownie at the end, what a bonus 👍
Great watch whilst having Breakfast.👍🇬🇧✌️
Almost the complete predator set. Great session, displaying the virtues of a balanced light set up, with wide variety of lures.
Tight lines Chris
Makes me feel like a kid treckin along in the woods just adventuring, love your effort man can tell your havin fun
Another great video and cracking fish thank you for sharing again
Just accidentally tuned in.. 🤩 amazing! I have subscribed. Beautiful chub just hitting the lure, not seen anything like that before. Great job buddy
WoW what a fish
it's not common that you catch trout
Well play
I'm french sorry for the fault if there are any I'm not sure but crazy vidéo!
You have stuch a good spot mate keep on going like that !!!
Love your content it make me smile ! Thanks for all

Google maps and exploring is the way to go. Finding new spots is 50% of the fun, atleast for me it is haha.
That's as good as it get's , thank you for sharing !
Some well stunning fish Chris, and a great mixed bag . Nice rod & reel set up too 👍. Not to mention a beautiful river Too .
Absolutely huge Brownie! When you said 50cm long I choked on my coffee. I used to fish small Becks growing up and never saw anything this big! Great multi species video!
Some cracking fun fishing.....this is what fishing is all about....one man with his net and rod at one with nature.
I love your style of fishing, I used to love trotting & roaming small streams for just about anything that swims, keep it up
Wonderful session, great to see those beautiful condition fish . Go on Chris one more cast !
That Brown, beautiful specimen! 👌

Would be great to setup a "fishing buddy" program....
"Hey justmyself1000...I may be in Texas in ....would be great to have a local guide!"
@@jimkeats891 I would be more than happy!
This man can catch a fish in an empty barrel lol love all your vids keep em coming
Well done mate! Love your attention to detail regard the quality of filming!
The quality of fish for such a small stream is absolutely astonishing! Who’d have thought it?!
I find it bewildering myself. I live in Canada and our harsh winters mean small bodies of water like this are mostly void of life.
Me. Mind you, I've been fishing small streams for 60 years.
Great vid mate, every time I watch these I just want to down tools and go to the nearest lake/river and fish! Congrats on the PB!
Loved watching it mate
Some very nice fish
Absolutely fantastic video Chris. None stop action all the way through. Just seriously deserve more than 100 thousand subscribers. Look forward to the next video Chris 👍
Yes, that's a big trout. That's dinner 😁
Really nice vid, nice small river and the chub are really a good substitute for trout. A lot greener vegetation and clear water in the river when you compare it to our river in the southern Finland. Keep on filming, really am a big fan of your channel!
Very nice .and hello from Ireland.
That is a absolutely belter trout for that size of river, just shows you that river has a serious amount of food source for them fish to thrive on
Awesome stuff ...this video has changed the way I think about fishing in the UK ... skinny water fishing at it's best
That's just amazing fishing fella! It just makes me want to get out fishing!! Keep the brilliant footage going!@
Commenting for the algorithm. More please.
You make it look so easy, you have natural skills my friend
Love that your showing your hardbait you use on every cast, really cool spots no one would probably go to...carry on ...following your show now, Greets from 🇩🇪
Really like watching your channel, it’s probably the only fishing channel I watch now. Basic but Affective👌🏽 Gave me the hunger to get back at it myself & the fish you catch 🤯
Another superb video.
Brilliant, well done, you are so lucky to have these places to fish.
Some cracking fishing again. 👍
What a brilliant video your enthusiasm shines through its all that angling is about 👏
That was a cracking trout by any standards. Well done really enjoyable video
Well done Chris, what an awesome session.
Your best video for a while, really enjoyed it and jealous of all the different venues you have in your area.
Neglect small waters at your peril!
Great little video. That's what fishing's all about!
Excellent loved this session some great fish 🎣👍
That's a cracking wild brown
Another cracking video Chris! Many thanks, you are a magician!
Awesome work. I like doing this sort of fishing too, it’s brilliantly exciting. Well done Chris 👍🏼😉😎🐟
Can't beat a river session with all those different fish. Quality.
Fantastic session. Truly amazing. Congratulations.Love your enthusiam.. infectious.... Thank you for sharing your adventures with us
Crazy good fishing session, enjoyed it with you, thanks
Been great to watch all the videos over last few years. Amazing fishing.
Having a pair of waders is a must have for your adventures 😄
Those fish were just perfect, and that Trout was a stunner.
I treated myself to a similar Perch stick rod a while ago and I Love it !
Been catching some Carp on it recently up to 9lb and it handled them with ease.
Another great video... Thanks for sharing.
Watching you fish brings back so many memories of my childhood adventures in the. UK. Thank you.
As a 1/4 ginger myself I had to sub when I found this video! Looked like big fun on little water!
stunning trout
Awesome sir. It doesn’t get any better than this 🎣
I have never seen anyone make fishing look so easy. Plus you are filming it. I think in this one video you have caught more fish than Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse Gone Fishing have in all their series. That brown trout would have made a very tasty meal.
Amazi g session ending on a stunner of a brownie. Yes that’s big!
Another great video Chris, thank you. It must be such a drag for you having to churn these out for us mere mortals, bet you really missing your old job 🤣🤣
Beautiful Brownie fish of a lifetime considering the venue and wild fish.
That trout was a fish of a lifetime for some. Class mate
Cracking video again sir that brownie was a cracker you hit it perfectly when river is just settled after a flood have had some great days when river is just settling down fish seem to be on the feed
That trout at the end though 👌 what a session
Wow I've heard of a golden fish that gives you three wishes, but this stream fulfilled all your wishes. That was just fun packed. Well done mate.
"Chub" where I am from are either "bait" or "trash fish".
The pike was awesome.
The trout was AMAZING!!!
(and, to be honest, ALL of the fish you caught are bugger than what I usually catch)!
Proper fishing. What a superb video
Wow, what a sesh! Good skills.
Wow what a stonking river that is and what a fish ,Troutzilla.
Congratulations Chris.
Great video! There is a similar little stream close to where I live. The largest trout I have ever caught at 6.5lbs was from it, and I have also have a 5.5lb chubb from there too. Never overlook the little streams, they hold some big fish!

You were really lucky to get permission to fish that river. Where I live all such waters are owned by syndicates or very exclusive clubs. This is because they're filled with fish as you provided, a great trout.
Fantastic season 👍🎣 Tight lines

What a session mate well done some beautiful fish there buddy
Chris this is an epic Video loads of fish various types and some lovely sizes 👍🎣🐟
That was fantastic. Your enthusiasm is infectious.
Amazing results from a very unassuming stream ! Well done 👍🇮🇪🇮🇪
Another enjoyable session and cracking brownie
Damn! You are so blessed with the area you live in! So good fish stock in all those Rivers you are fishing. I'm jealous :D Keep it up!
Good fishermen enjoyed the show...ceep on going..._😃😃
Nice simple session fishing without all the kit.. just how I do it.. travel light 👍
You’re a really talented angler. I really enjoy your videos 👍🏼🎣
That trout was absolutely amazing
