Very true Mick, thank you for watching and leaving comments. Best wishes

[@BHRobbie]

Great Video Kev, I fish in that same spot fairly often and there are usually at least a few anglers about. Must have been a quiet day. I'm still brand new to all this so I never catch anything myself, but it's very encouraging to watch what someone with a bit of experience can do! Nice catch, and thanks for the tips.

[@nottsfishingkbtv402]

Hi BH Robbie, great to see new anglers having a go. Check out my Trent playlist and try a few different swims and techniques and let me know how you get on. Get you feeding right and you will catch. Best wishes and tight lines.

[@davidbendaravicius3607]

Really enjoy your embankment/Trent videos. Bring back so many childhood memories.

[@nottsfishingkbtv402]

Glad you like them David, thank you for watching and leaving kind comments, much appreciated.

[@alangreenwood9638]

Great to see you back Kev, some quality roach in the bag too. 50 years ago on a Sunday morning you’d never have got on there for anglers, can’t believe there aren’t more fishermen there especially as it’s free fishing too! Well done 👍

[@nottsfishingkbtv402]

Absolutely Alan, I would have been one of them 40+ years ago.

[@alangreenwood9638]

@@nottsfishingkbtv402 yes me too, gudgeon seemed to be the main catch those days with the odd bonus roach like some of those you caught. Nice to see someone trotting a float

[@stevenash6685]

Good to see the king of the clonkers back, always look forward to watching you fish the Trent kev, keep them coming, and take care.

[@nottsfishingkbtv402]

LOL, thanks Steve, always great to feel the clonk through a soft action rod. Best wishes.

[@anthonykeating3223]

Kev, try pearl barley. Put in a saucepan just cover with water and a big spoon of turmeric, bring to the boil and turn off the heat and leave to cool. Works great in Norfolk on the drains and rivers.

[@nottsfishingkbtv402]

Thanks for the tip Anthony, great idea, Best wishes and thank you for watching.

Hi quality Roach are showing on the Notts Fed stretch of Nottingham-Beeston Canal. London Road section late 30s Hemp & Tares on pole tactics. Work all year round. Or ask the bailiff he will put you on the Fish. Tight lines. Paul.

Great to see you back on KZbin missed your videos. Will we get to see some match fishing videos again 🎣

[@nottsfishingkbtv402]

Most definitely!

[@glenfishinguk9352]

I have been fishing Wheat with Hemp for about 4 years now on the Trent ( Burton Joyce, Stoke Bardolph, Shelford and the Viaducts. The results have been amazing with double figure nets of quality Roach during most sessions. I guarantee, Wheat will out fish Tares every time and you won't wait long for the fish to start having it. Give it a go next season, you won't look back!

[@nottsfishingkbtv402]

Thanks for the info Glen, great tips, best wishes.

[@mattydare]

Plus side - I'm inspired to have a go with tares having watched you catching 'dog' roach. Minus side - you cost me a fortune in kit I didn't have 💸💸💸 I'm a few miles further south of you and I used to catch em in the Soar. Corn hair rigged on a bomb over hemp. I was trying to catch the dustbin lids one time but the roach kept smashing the corn, leaving just the skins. Worked out in the end how to hook em. Wait for the rod to start tapping - then drop the rod back a split second and strike. Crafty buggers were hanging back picking the bits off that came loose - as I slackened they would take it and the hook with confidence. Had a walk on Victoria Embankment on Wednesday 25th afternoon in the lovely autumn sunshine. Trent was still 'b*****king through and was icy cold but you could see where it had been up to. The council lads were clearing up debris that had wrapped around the seats. I apologise for the rafts of American Pennywort coming down from the Soar. It must stretch from Enderby Leics. right to the Humber now?

[@nottsfishingkbtv402]

Excellent comments Matty, thank you for watching. Let us know how you get on.

[@mattydare]

@@nottsfishingkbtv402 Tare recipe would be a help anyone? I know you mentioned how to in a previous vid but damned if I can find it again. I've cooked the 1st batch ever and they seem ok. Using bicarb and sugar without boiling em to death.

[@paulcole4902]

What a fabulous morning's fishing catching quality roach.. shame you at to pack up when you did.. because if it had been me and continued catching I would of stayed until I couldn't see the float.. love my roach fishing my two biggest have been 2lb-7 and 2lb -11..but the is a place I know on the river tame Tamworth area but much further down stream but not saying where on here..but in the summer it's a waste of time but come the first real hard cold frosty days arrive so do the roach in their thousands and so do the chub..but when people say fish tend to go to deeper water in the winter is a myth because I catch the roach nothing close to a pound but they are probably there..and I used to fish the stick float but changed to a six metre whip alot quicker and the roach are in less than two feet of water believe it or not..and I did count the first hour the one and I had 94 roach but stopped counting after that would love to tell you exactly where it is but not on here.. don't know if the is any other way I can contact you.. just let me know if the is and I will tell you.. sorry for the long message 👍

[@nottsfishingkbtv402]

Sounds like a great place to keep as a secret for fish welfare and your private use. Pole and whips are much quicker but your can't explore the ebbs and flows at distance like a stick or wagler. Super PBs for Roach. Thank you for watching and leaving comments. Best wishes and tight lines.

[@paulcole4902]

@@nottsfishingkbtv402 The place is called Elford.. now I've let the cat out of the bag lol..but the first fishable peg by the little car park produce the chub.. little and often approach..but up into the woods for the roach close in and you can still catch the chub to further out.. plus the is the odd barbel wish you luck if you hook into one of them I've had three on but never even got them off the bottom..but with only fishing size 18 to 20 hooks to 3lb line not got much chance never broke me all three have just slipped the hook..but I do know that biggest from there is 14lb something..and the are some big shoals of bream to if you can locate them they seem to come and go..but I'm definitely going to spending has much time as possible there this winter..but now I'm living a single life I might even go on Christmas day lol..but delete this message because I only wanted to let you know 👍

Nice one Stephen, are you float fishing or swim feedering?

[@stephencoffey4705]

@@nottsfishingkbtv402 stick float fishing

[@jameselston8848]

Nice video. No varying depth? Do they not come up?

[@nottsfishingkbtv402]

Hi, With the clear water they generally stay low but can come up on warm days. I alter my depth according to reading bites. Missed bites or bumping can be a sign to alter the rig shallower. With trotting you can hold back the float and this brings the bait up,, lift, hold, pause and then drop can be deadly if they are moving between layers. Thanks for watching James, best wishes.
