What a wonderful tribute and you've captured a small peice of a talented persons life for us all to enjoy. May he rest.

A very nice video and good to share memories of Barry - a great artist and character in the New Forest. He will be missed but his memory and paintings will live on.

Great video, thanks. Really enjoyed the paintings. Sounds like you had some good times.

Thank you for sharing this lovely tribute to a friend and mentor. Very sorry for your loss.

Peter, I'm sorry for your loss, I remember a video of you where you two went painting.

Really enjoy your videos, there brilliant 👏

Im in texas and sea trout is very different here. God bless

Fantastic video and commentary as always Peter. Keep inspiring. 🎣

have you seen any Beavers yet. They are on the Avon

Hard luck there, Peter. What fly were you using? I take it, that's the Blackwater? Take care 👍

Lovely river. Hope you can connect soon with a sea trout!

Twenty-seven to go, Peter 👍👍😀😀

Great content . I had to google what a Sea Trout was . Fascinating , I assumed a Sea Trout was another name for an Atlantic Salmon .

I sailed to Southampton on the Thalassa.

I was fishing for Chubb with cheese paste and caught a trout 😂

Well done!

Enjoyable and relaxing video , Peter. Good to see nature reclaiming her territory! you're not the only one failing to catch sea trout theses days! my latest features starkly contrasting rugged northern waters! Chub are at their best in winter in my opinion.👍

always a relaxing experience watching you

Another enjoyable outing!

Your fishing outings are always enjoyable!

Great video!

Nice chub

Thank you🇮🇪❤

I love the easy going and relaxed style in which you present your short videos Peter, it puts me in mind of the legendary presenter Jack Hargreaves. I was wondering Peter, each time you change your fly does your leader get progressively shorter or do you use a snap link like the mustad ones?

I love your video chronicles and your streams. They are very peaceful.

Another wonderful video Peter. Thank you for sharing . I caught a beautiful sea trout or Sewin as they call it in North Wales River Mawdach yesterday.

Can’t beat a stream for surprises of many sorts, keep climbing those gates.

Really beautiful there

Delghtful place and tmes as usual. Usng very lght gear is a dream. :-)

A lovely little river, indeed. I hope your next sea trout outing is more successful - but this was quite an enjoyable video nonetheless.

I've only caught one, and that was was back in the nineties. It will happen again, surely...

Hard luck there, Peter ! Nice walk in the sunshine anyway! We have a modest run of sea trout up my wee river a short walk from home, but they're very elusive and nervous, especially in small streams. I think I've had about 5 in 10 years, all on the fly at night after a rise in levels when there's about an inch of extra water on. I tend just to fish for brown trout on there nowadays. 👍

Essence of what fishing videos should be about👍👍

Great video Peter!

There’s always a element of surprise with you’re vids , the balsam encourages nettles to be taller, I first noticed it in Yorkshire barbel fishing in the 80s I thought it was native to the area but as moved further north from the south other invasive species recently turned up the American signal crayfish 🦞.

Hi Peter, good to see you busy and keeping fit! I usually try to pull 20 to 30 balsam plants every time I go fishing! It's amazing how the nettles will reclaim their territory given half a chance! As you say, it is very shallow rooted and easy to pull out. One benefit is that it keeps other anglers away from your favourite pools (if you keep your entrance to the tunnel you've made pretty discrete 😂) You seem to do better here than on the Avon! Lucky to have gudgeon, disappeared up here 👍

Get some gloves Peter, also consider eye protection, if the sap gets on your skin or eyes you will know all about it 😊

I always enjoy your river outings. It’s a shame that invasive plant prevents stream access. We have similar issues with invasive plants in riparian areas here in the U.S. as well.

Great video Peter. Very relaxing and you projected the tranquility across very well. I'm a centre pin addict too, and game angler rather than coarse but I've done a fair bit of river coarse fishing recently with the pin and can offer a little advice! 1. The set up you used seemed quite heavy and better suited to bigger fish like chub and barbel, in which case I'd be using a bigger bait like bread flake, cheese, worm, luncheon meat etc on a larger hook size 10 or 8. 2 -For smaller fish and many more bites (roach, dace, perch, grayling, small chub etc) I'd be using a more delicate stick float and a fine hooklength around 2.5 lb Bs with a size 18 or 16 hook. Feed a few maggots into the swim, every 2 minutes or less, and follow through with the float. If you're catching bottom now and again getting false bites that's about right, hold back slightly so that the float ambles down slightly slower than the current, bearing in mind the flow is always faster on the surface. The important thing is to maintain the stream of maggots to build up and hold a shoal. Bread works too, same method fewer bites but often better quality fish, and much cheaper! Good luck 👍👍

Hi Peter. I fished Burgage Thursday evening on the fly. Well i didnt actually cast a fly because of the rain and breeze. I checked both sides of the River because i Bailiff for Salisbury and noticed your name in the book on 17th. When you park on the Gods Hill Road stretch, there is a lovely deep swim as you walk in. I have had Chubb out at over 5lb. Worth a chuck with a chunk of meat on a lead in that one. I coudnt make out where you were fishing on this latest adventure. Kind Regards Brian

Hi Peter, good to see you posting again, have you done much on the Lymington this year? I love trotting with a centre pin but like you I am very inexperienced at it but my first port of call even on the bigger rivers is wading with my tenkara rod with surprisingly good results especially with chub and dace although the bigger chub present a significant challenge due to the light gear. I’ve recently taken up watercolours after my pencil sketching and then acrylics so I may be after some tips! Hope to see you on the river some time.

Approaching a thousand subscribers, Peter. I remember when it was less than 200 👍

Love trotting with a pin best fishing in the world great sport for carp too

thank you for another video

Using a centre pin is one of the greatest pleasures in fishing. I even use them with tiny lures and for ledgering (with a snapped twig as a bobbin). What a marvellous herd of cattle on the bankside, would have made a great painting.

There should be some fine wet fly/nymph fishing there! :-)

Hi Peter. I love that stretch of River. Lots a very nice Graying through the shallow. Ive seen some huge WBT through there. Worth a trip with a Feeder rod in that 1st swim you stopped at. I have had Chub to over 5lb from there on Cheese Paste and Meat. Do you ever sell your Painting. Regards Brian. Salisbury Bailiff

Lovely video Peter, may I ask where abouts you are? 🎣

I always enjoy your videos. Cheers.

Nice video peter, loving the paintings! 2 years ago I bought a 10ft AFTM 4 very light but great for larger rivers, with that extra bit of coverage and line control over intervening currents and eddies. 👍
