SO MANY Big Trout live under this bridge (?!?!)

[@billguyan1913]

Impressive stock of fish, and a river clean enough for grayling. I expect everyone in the area will be lashing that stretch of river after watching this!

[@adventurefishinguk]

Yeah there were plenty of fish under there that’s for sure!

[@AlfUckhamHall]

The trout at 7 minutes in was beautifully spotted, prettiest fish I've ever seen.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks for watching mate!

[@eowenspa2]

Enjoyed the video. I appreciate waiting with the ledger and rod rests; my experience is that often you have to wait patiently for the biggest fish,as a youngster l used to use Mums sqeezey washing up bottle lids between first and second eye. Always knew if a trout had picked up as it would jerk violently once or twice before it took. It’s a killer method with worm in a deep hole

[@adventurefishinguk]

That sounds like a great strategy! Thanks for watching!

[@bjornhellman8474]

Grayling is an absolute favourite. The lady of the Stream.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Great fun to catch aren't they!

[@traceypotts9425]

Loved it guy's

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thank you!

[@johnloxley8705]

You certainly know how to catch them trout! Sculpin or bullhead ?? They come from a very similar family of fish… used to call them a Millersthumb as a nickname !! Used to get some decent size ones on the river leven in North Yorkshire .. some nice stone loach too !! I love catching them back in the day. Cracking video … look forward to the next one 👍🏽👍🏽🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

[@adventurefishinguk]

I wish I knew how to catch them a bit better I didn't have one trout! I've never caught a bullhead or a stone loach, nice to know there's plenty of new species out there for me to catch! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the comment!

[@johnloxley8705]

@@adventurefishinguk love ya videos as you well know me lad. 👍🏽😀 …. catch them on a single maggot and size 20 barbless hook….. river leven at great Ayton or stokelsey is the place to go ….. lots of people about though … oh … and lots of minnows too 👍🏽👍🏽😀😀

[@windymiller6908]

Bullhead, aka as Bombeees to us in my part of the South Wales Valleys. Apparenty they need unpolluted water and used to be plentitful in the clear hill streams back in the 1960s. As were Stone Loach though they were very much the opposite to Bullheads and much prefered the coal polluted black brook that run through the valley bottom....can't say I ever saw one in any of the the clear hill steams.. Eeels were very common in coal polluted streams too.

[@TheEssexAnglerYT]

Lovely video mate! Beautiful minnow! 😉

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thank you, surprised it took a jig though!

[@callumnoblett4905]

I like how you said that the video would demonstrate your ability with the net and then missed the trout twice😅 Mindyou, I think Callum could have offered you a go under the bridge after his first 2 instead of hogging it😁 Only gentlemanly 😉 That's a lot of decent sized trout in just the one place. You sure they were all different Oh and don't diss the grayling. Love catching grayling, less smash n grab than trout but lots of fun nevertheless

[@adventurefishinguk]

He did let me have a good go under there its my own fault! I don't have much experience fishing with bait so spent a lot of time messing around with my rig and getting snagged! It was a nice grayling I do enjoy catching them just get a bit worried about interrupting their spawning in the off season. And yeah I think they were all different judging by the markings looking after, I was sure a couple of them were the same. Very surprising that there were that many, doubt they'd take a worm twice so quickly wild trout tend to be quite intelligent!

[@callumnoblett4905]

I agree, wild trout are lots of fun to catch. Grayling too. I went fishing yesterday at Elinor near Kettering, nice lake but all stockies. When I visit my folks I pop to the Ribble Calder etc and dome of the smaller tributaries. Much more fun In August I'm off to Shetland to visit.my brother. Small peaty lochs, hundreds of em. Never know what you re going to get. Great fun. Keep the bids coming. Cheers Callum

The fish is a bullhead from the sculpin family it is the only freshwater sculpin fish in the U.k.

[@adventurefishinguk]

I didn't know that thanks for the info!

And they are rare,so why used them as bait!

Millers thumb or bellend fish indicates good quality water enviroment .

Yes, and increased river pollution is probably why their numbers have decreased.

[@BushmanOutdoors]

Hi, do you ever keep the fish you catch? Been trawling the internet for days to find out what the rules are. From what I can gather, different clubs seem to own the rights to different stretches of river. Are there any resources you can recommend to find out where I go and catch some fish that I can take home? Ideally rivers rather than stocked ponds. From what I can see there are clubs that stock ponds and you can pay to take a couple of fish

[@adventurefishinguk]

I do occasionally keep a fish but it's very rare. Stick to stocked lakes mate if it's trout you're after, not ideal to eat wild ones from rivers they're too prized as a game fish these days!

If you’re allowed to, use those sculpin as bait in that hole. You’ll pull out the biggest trout in that hole with a sculpin 👍🏼

I'll have to look into the rules on the river thanks for the tip! I don't usually use bait like that but if one was false hooked or swallowed the hook I'd definitely be tempted

Thanks mate! Sorry I get a lot of spam on instagram from bot accounts it can be easy for messages to get lost in that. For trout I'd recommend 8-10lb maxima chameleon mono depending on how big the fish are you're targeting. For perch maybe 6-8lb, and for pike fishing maybe 40lb braid with a wire trace. Hope this helps!
