Exploring The Hidden Woodland Stream For Big Fish!

This was a super fun session to film. I started off stalking and free lining single worm baits jigging them about in the slacks of this tiny flooded river. It was a great success catching a cracking chub and perch. Then i went back out with the static roving gear to be able to sit and wait in some of the best swims using maggots and worms down the margins and in the slacks where the bigger fish were holding out of the main flow. It was almost a case of find the minnows, find the big fish. It was great fun. Hope you enjoy!

That frist perch was a fat one! Nice video and fish you have caugth Chris!

[@sirlancelot4777]

I'm constantly impressed how you don't swear. I'm terrible when I'm fishing.... 🤣

[@heyitsme6083]

Fanatic video as always Chris. I absolutely love winter chub fishing and what I brace off chub. Please keep the uploads coming. Loving all your vids. Fingers crossed you hit that hundred thousand subscribers soon. Because you deserve so many more

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Thanks buddy!

[@richswain7154]

Quick tip for you buddy. Stalking g through dense undergrowth, turn your rod through 180°, that way the tip trails behind you, no risk of a snapped tip ring! Tight lines Rich

[@justluvfishinguk]

Nice chub there .. & perch .. cheers buddy

[@stanwilson8089]

I appreciate your extra method explanations,certainly better than just watching you catch fish,

[@kennyman9065]

Another great video!! Some great chub, but the perch stole the show!!🎣🎣🎣😎

[@MrMerciless67]

Banging chub and perch well done

[@privatedata665]

Great stuff , Dude . The Chub you caught look similar to Fallfish here in America . Perch were outstanding .

Some really nice chub and perch there Chris. Well done mate. 😃👍🐬

[@stanwilson8089]

I use a 16's-18's barbed hook just below a 8's-10's hook.I catch the minnows,then leave the minnow on. It works like a hair rig.The chub/trout/perch take the live minnow and the larger hook.Trotting under a float seems to work best.

[@Offcut55]

I used to fish a tiny stream with a rolling ball and nothing else but worms flowing in the stream and got a lot of chub and a decent Pike great way of fishing

[@angelambriersbriers5026]

Lovely fish

Superb.

[@lauriebarnett590]

You need to bring per of Garden shears cut some three branches out of your way and you can make few nice swims for next time

[@needham831]

Excellent session Chris. I really enjoy watching you do this kind of small , wild river fishing. It reminds me of some of the stuff I do round here. The fish aren't super big but the sport is so much fun. And those Chub were in beautiful winter condition. It made me wonder if they had ever been hooked before. Keep up the great work mate. Back to the canals and lakes soon.☺🎣

[@mrlittlemouse1]

You can’t beat April perch fishing on rivers

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Thanks Chris. Yea im kinda looking forward to the closed season almost 😅. Got some trout fishing planned and some new areas to try for a canal carp, so i shouldn't be too wounded about the end of season

[@karlwatkins2331]

Top vid again Chris mate hard work getting to the fish but when you did it was worth it cracking fish in the net 🎣👊👏👏👌👍

[@davidelliott8324]

I recommend you take a pair of pruning shears/ secateurs when you hit the banks like that. Easy to holster on your belt or pocket, and indispensable to drop those pesky limbs out of your way. Great video!

[@kennethjackson7574]

I grew up kind of poor. I would bring a pruning saw with me in the winter. When the leaves were off, if I saw a lure someone hung and lost, and if I could reach the branch, I would cut the branch and get a free lure!

[@davidelliott8324]

@@kennethjackson7574 Me too brother. My uncle and I used to go out as soon as the leaves fell and go lure picking, from the bank or from a canoe. I usually carry a machete with me nowadays, but I imagine pruners would be better for him and the spectators always on those canals

[@dahutful]

I call you go on the stalk, on the hunt for them. Those chub bear a loose resemblance to Tarpon

Really enjoying your videos, will be tryin some of your techniques out on my local river. Keep the videos coming tightlines

[@kennyscouse3388]

Love this style of fishing, into the unknown. Do you find out who has fishing rights on these little streams, or just turn up?👌🏻🎣

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

I google it and if i find out nothing then I'll go check out some spots. If there's no signs up to say otherwise then i tend to fish them and make sure there's some money in my wallet just in case its a day ticket or something. 🤘

So I did give you an idea then?! Nice video I used to fish a stream like that very few chub though. Trout, dace and a few roach to over a pound that were always a highlight if you got one.

Why is everything ‘hidden’ or ‘forgotten’ you don’t need to sex your stuff up with hooky titles, they’re already very good.

[@IanG1969]

It's because its hidden or forgotten. Hidden because of the undergrowth, forgotten as no one fishes there

[@jimmymature1976]

@@IanG1969 I know what the words mean…. I guarantee it’s not true, just the thing over KZbin is to say it’s forgotten or rare or hidden. It’s England nothing is hidden or forgotten 😂

That perch was full of eggs, it probably is fine but I would've have put it back immediately not to stress a breeding fish too much.
