PERCH FISHING at Britford on the Hampshire Avon

In this episode of Fishing Tail Films I visited LAA stretch BRITFORD on the iconic River Hampshire Avon in mid September 2018 for the start of a PERCH quest. The river looked stunning as I took the long walk to Kitts Island for a relaxing and enjoyable day's fishing on this iconic river.
I share my thoughts on how much fishing means to me and bring out one of my old childhood perch bobber floats and put it through it's paces catching some lovely looking stripeys.

Very true Paul, such a beautiful part of the Avon and it is always a pleasure to fish there 👍🎣

A really beautiful video. The perch is such a majestic fish. Where I used to live (Bedford) the perch were getting rather big and a lot of them. 👍👍👍

[@fishingtailfilms]

Thank you Andy, the Perch are fantastic fish and I just love fishing for them. I have heard of some very big Perch in the Bedford area so great to hear they are big and in numbers. 🐟🎣 👍

[@andycollings4302]

@fishingtailfilms Well they were there 12 years ago. I live in Weymouth now, doing my first love, sea fishing. My best is 3lb, caught along Bedford embankment. I also caught a 2lb roach on the same day. They are growing big on a diet of small fish and crayfish.

@@andycollings4302 3lbs Perch and a 2lbs Roach is a fine day's fishing Andy, excellent and agree with the crayfish, the Perch get fat munching on them as I found out at Hordle Lakes recently 👍

Hi Russ you using the same rod for ledger and float

[@fishingtailfilms]

On that occasion I was Terry, as I tried to travel as light as possible due to lots of walking. It did the job ok 👍 my Darent Valleys 1.25 test curve. Normally I would use a greys specialist same test curve 👍

[@terrywalker7727]

@@fishingtailfilms I did wonder as I like a white or orange tip on my ledger rods even when touch ledgering I find it useful

[@fishingtailfilms]

I agree Terry especially in certain light conditions 👍🎣
