BIG FISH live in unexpected places! Micro stream fishing

Fishing micro streams and a mysterious tunnel for a range of species. Our latest fishing video is all about small rivers and how to get the best from them. Float and feeder fishing produces a load of bites in the winter. Hope you enjoy!

[@MassiveLib]

It makes my heart so full too see 2 young men fishing like this, instead of watching their arses grow watching a bite alarm for carp. Well done lads, learning the water craft, your never forget these days...

[@lewisjarvis4201]

Variety is key in fishing. Nothing wrong in carp fishing, I do a lot of it. But I much prefer feeder and float fishing and find it a lot more rewarding.

[@kajcsapapa]

yep, I enjoy this type of fishing aswell, small streams or rivers, guerilla style fishing

[@nichallam174]

I agree totally, Mr Crabtree is smiling down on them!

[@geoffpoole483]

@ Nic Hallam I'm looking forward to them fish for carp with par-boiled potato as bait. A major reason why these two lads are proficient at catching fish is their knowledge of watercraft. There's a lot to be said for a roving/stalking approach when it comes to fishing.

[@deanotaggo9788]

@fishseabass, completely agree with you mate. Good to see. Bite alarms are for lazy fishers, the excitement is in the watching float or rod. Competition fishing when sleeping fair enough bite alarm required. But I've always preferred falling asleep at night and my mind just sees a float on water as I've been staring all day.

Yes! When I fished in Lincolnshire I had the biggest chub and perch from rivers and drains I could almost step across. No clubs ran them so the fishing was free and loads of fun finding random little spots. Keep it up lads, your presentation is outstanding!

[@Audiotorium87]

You two crack me up ... I haven’t been fishing for a while as I have also just bought my first house so it’s been busy busy fixing up but when ever I feel distant from the lakes I always turn to your videos. I mainly fish for carp but looking to get into river fishing ... looks fun and adventurous! Always a pleasure to watch your movies, keep them coming 👊🏼

[@etz_dubs6977]

Tight Tackle what bait or lures do you use for carp

[@Audiotorium87]

Roman Ansley ... all depends on the venue/location and season but mainly sweet and hi vis bait for the winter and oily fish mill in the summer ... I’m only a beginner so still learning how it all works! What about yourself?

[@etz_dubs6977]

Tight Tackle same man I’m a beginner also there is a huge carp at my friends golf course and whenever we try to get it it just runs away or doesn’t bite

Thanks for that video guys, I thoroughly enjoyed that ! I used to walk several miles fully loaded to the river chelmer, gas works section in Chelmsford when I was a young lad and I loved spinning for pike in front of the weir. Hadn't been back there for 30yrs and when I did I was staggered. You can hardly get to the river now for all the shopping precincts around it.

Been taking my boy for a few years , Honestly seeing him catch gives me more of a buzz than catching myself. Likewise when he looses a decent fish I feel all that pain. Last weekend he sat there with me all day, we tried all sorts bit not even a bite. then all of a sudden his float disappeared , he struck into it it and his clutch started screaming. He lost a 20lb plus carp so close to the net after a very long fight on 4lb line. He was so close to crying reminded me of when i was a kid and fishing was magical. Seeing them catching will be the best fishing you ever do guaranteed

That kind of fishing is exactly how I used to fish the Rivers Wreake and Soar when I was a kid aged 12. And 33 years later I assure you those tactics still work great on small rivers and streams in winter today. On really small streams a roving approach for a day is always a good idea and keeps you mobile in the cold. You'll also cover a lot of swims and different challenges. Good rod bending fun.☺ Good one Carl and Alex. Really great video.☺
