Beck fishing - an enchanting session on a tiny Northern stream -UK FLY FISHING AND RELAXATION

- I've often wondered what it would be like to try fishing the tiny stream that joins another to form the small river near home. It's very overgrown in summer and off the beaten track, and I suspect its very rarely fished, if ever!
I should really have waited for heavy rain to colour and lift the clear, shallow water, but I couldn't contain my patience! A difficult session in store!! - เพลง

Loved this.❤
Love it.. this is my thing... Have few wee streams like this close to home.. parts of them ya could step across.. class! 👌
thanks! I really must do a bit more micro streaming!
Great success! 3 fish one pool . Love little rivers.
Many thanks dude!
Hello, my good friend, I came here to listen to very good content and I always follow this content. Good luck, friend..
This is the type of water that needs upstream worming, letting it trundle back towards you, 2/3lb line with a big worm (or smaller, perhaps with a bit of shot), no disturbance casting all the time, as with a fly line. I caught many a trout using this technique, plus it doesn't matter the depth, just watch for the flash.
You're quite right, I started upstream worming as a kid before a mate got me into fly fishing, but its a bit off putting when they swallow the worm before you even feel anything, which is why I usually fly fish if I'm targeting trout👍
Enjoyed that, was stood alongside you all the way, well done.
Thanks for that! its strange how my viewers find the tiny unknown streams much more interesting than big, well renowned rivers! I can't believe the viewing figures for this one and a winter coarse fishing video I filmed on a different tiny stream between Christmas and new year! crazy👍
This was how I started out as a kid but usually drifting a worm, later took up fly fishing. The Yorkshire becks were my local hunting ground, some tiny and pretty unknown. In the 70s there were so many wild fish they couldn't hide and darted around in every direction!! What has happened is our big rivers in industrial areas improved but the bulk of rural streams that had been historically excellent declined as farming became industrialised. Still some there but nothing like it used to be sadly.
I could watch hours of this, like being a kid again.
I wouldn't be to happy to see perch in that we river .if there in .more likely there will be roach as well
Think you can fly fish?? Try this! There are fish there & they're usually hungry; but they're usually insanely spooky in shallow water like this. Stalk carefully!
quite right sir! very tricky fishing, yet they are catchable if you can avoid spooking! I usually visit this stream when there is some colour and extra water - Then I can catch a few and get smug about how skilful I am 🤣
Excellent stuff Once again David
Not quite west coast Scotland, but it's all we've got 🤣👍
Brilliant
thank you ever so much!
Tenkara 👍🏻 try that out. I do it but dry fly only
Thanks for the tip! trouble is, I've so much stuff already I wouldn't know where to keep it! !🤣👍
Decent session in the end, considering the low water. Very interesting and entertaining. I'd've sworn a couple of times there, if it'd been me!
The very thought! 🤣
Beautiful area, nice video, great music, fun fish, thanks for sharing. Hello from the middle of the USA, on the Mississippi river west of Chicago Illinois. I am about 4 hours south of Trout Fishing in the Driftless Region (not flattened by Glacers in the last ice age) in North East Iowa. Lots of Brim, and Black Bass in this area.
Wow! Thanks Lee! So good to get support from the other side of the pond!
Many of the USA "coarse" species are unknown to us. Obviously we are familiar with Brook trout, cutthroat, steelheads, large mouth bass etc but it's a mystery to us beyond that!
I must learn a bit more about it!
Only a week left for our trout season here, then closed until March.
Still plenty to fly fish for, pike, perch, grayling I'm sure you're familiar with.
I'll take a look at your stuff too
Tight lines!
A delightful place. My kind of fly fishing. :-)
yes indeed! its a once a year pilgrimage for me, even though its just down the road! thanks for the sub, much appreciated.
Lucky you to live so close by! I have to travel for ages for streams like that. But worthwhile for their delight. :-)@@soultrader57fishingandmusi25
size dont matter , amazing to catch anything , cool vid
Thanks! Yes, agreed 👍
Cracking little session! 👌
Been discovering the local Yarrow recently, seen some incredible fish in there!
Hopefully see you on the bank before long 😀
Thanks! What part have you been trying?
Are you on Facebook as albion angling?
@@soultrader57fishingandmusi25 i'll message you FB
Love fishing small streams/rivers like this, i fish one close to me, similar size to yours. I fish it more often in spring before the vegitation gets up as it's very over grown, my prefered methods are dry fly or duo, although there is a couple of deep fast runs where i really need to chuck a nymph in.
Also the stream i fish, the fish come upto the dry fly from opening day of the Trout season so i get good dry fly fishing early season before the bigger rivers wake up.
It's a weird one, this stream is a tailwater from a large reservoir. Most of the time it runs low, if there's a spate it's usually small and very brief, an hour or so. But in winter the reservoir can fill up to the brim and then overspill water tops it up, or if work is being done on the res they will often increase the sump outflow to reduce the res level, then we have cold peaty water which seems to make fishing poor throughout the system. This often happens on late winter and spring! So it's chancy early doors 👍
Awesome video! Your channel seems really cool! Just subbed too👍
Wow thanks man! I'll take a look at yours! I need to enhance my knowledge of USA fishing! There's a lot of differences between our fish apart from brown trout and (northern) pike
Hi there , great vid, just started up fly fishing, what weight gear and reel are you using , just interested to know, all the best, David.
Hi David, its a very small stream and therefore very light delicate tackle. 3# rod and line, its a Pflueger reel (French make - from a used tackle fair). If you're starting out on river fishing, try a larger river 1st ( like the one on my last fly fish vid) as you'll have a lot more room to cast and spend less time pulling your flies out of trees. good luck! thanks for the comment
Thanks for your reply, i am experimenting at moment making tapered leaders, i realise now its not that easy balancing them up with your rods weights , i will sort it out eventually, all the best , David.@@soultrader57fishingandmusi25
which river, and how did you get permission?
sorry, such a small river is sensitive to over exploitation so I don't want to reveal its whereabouts. There's thousands of small streams like this throughout the UK. Its a question of having a walk out and investigating. Local council owned through the woods and just EA rod licence required, but private farmland above the wooden footbridge, one day I'll ask the owner about it!
I'm wondering what kind of setup you're using kind of new fly fishing.
Hi Mark, for these rivers I use a 3wt set up with a 7ft fly rod, you need a short rod as its so tight! You would be better off fishing a slightly larger river to get experience, where you have a bit more elbow room and can easily cast overhead.
When I started fishing small streams all I did was frighten fish all the way along! 😂 good luck
