The river Don runs through the heart of the city of Sheffield here in the UK. With such a wide variety of swims along the many miles of river I'm sure that there will be a few surprises...

Lol. I’ve had nice grayling and trout out of that weir. I only live 1/2 mile away as well

[@MARCLEEMATCHFISHING]

Nice! Great to show the natural free fishing that most towns have! Any similar type rivers/streams always worth a look esp in winter.

[@CatchFishingChannel]

Thanks Marc mate!

[@williammallender8391]

The Don has certainly changes since I lived in the area - but I haven't lived round there since 1966. What a good fish, well done.

[@johnturner7045]

Thank for posting another great video. These are the only thing keeping me going whilst shielding again. Love the simple guide to swim selection and talking through swims. Nice one again.

Sorry to hear you're shielding again John but I'm glad you're staying safe and enjoying the uploads thanks for watching mate!

Beautiful fish aren't they thanks for watching Gareth plenty more to come mate :)

Completely different from what we normally get to see you do and to catch a Grayling! Brilliant and do hope you do more of this type of fishing in the future 🎣

When I was a kid Jamie I used to go on Don at back of bassets under bridge We used to catch some beautiful graylings there and trout and the odd bonus big perch. Great content as always mate 👍🎣🎣

[@CatchFishingChannel]

Thanks Shane I haven't seen that stretch yet but I've got great memories on their as a kid too mate :)

[@poodle559]

When i was a kid all we used to see was a rainbow coloured film on the surface!

It's not like that anymore there's some cracking fish in the river Don now days the water quality is much better 🎣🎣

so pleased to see you taking notice of the lockdown but getting out responsibly :-)

[@CatchFishingChannel]

Yeah we've all got to be sensible haven't we mate :)

[@williamwatson3810]

You should catch a few if you can still get on the stretch above ball bridge, there was always plenty of roach & skimmers there. This video brings back so many memories thanks Jamie.

[@CatchFishingChannel]

Oh thanks William! Where abouts is Ball bridge mate?

[@williamwatson3810]

@@CatchFishingChannel It's on Ball street which runs from Neepsend lane to Green lane, there's been so much new building work up that end of the city it's hard to tell whether you can still get down there.

[@Scottsalchemy]

Great video, it reminded me of a stretch of the river Calder that I used to fish as a kid, I was expecting a bag full of minnows!

[@CatchFishingChannel]

Thanks mate! Hahaha for some reason they vanish in winter?!!

[@trudyandy]

you have fished where i work and have fished from Bramalls right down to Ladys bridge over the years and the river gets better just hope it gets looked after as there seems to be more people not returning the fish where they belong but nice to see you out and about and doing what we all want to do.

[@carltizwaz1607]

i fish that stretch of the river where you caught the grayling. ive had some really nice trout, perch grayling and i caught rather large bull trout about 10 years ago. i.m off there today with my nephew and brother in law.

[@rohanhussain7934]

Really nice video keep them up they are top noch

Thanks for watching Rohan!

[@rohanhussain7934]

No worries

[@johnmoorwood9360]

Great to see you diversifying into all-round, roving tactics during another (match) lockdown, Jamie! Another quality video and a basic but enjoyable style of fishing I like doing myself when I’ve got limited time. It’s how so many of us started off and I remember doing the same sort of thing on the Rivelin, around Marshall’s or near Hillsborough, too. Loads of little brownies. Although the Don might not have been quite so clean during our childhoods! Goes to show it’s not all about bagging and loads of gear or bait as well - almost always just nice to get out and have an explore 👍 PS. Let’s hope the words ‘city’ and ‘bomb’ in the title don’t cause you any aggro with the KZbin algorithm 😂

[@richardburns5925]

That stretch used to be a 4 foot deep stick float glide all the way from the Loxley entering the Don to the wier. The top of the wier is wood and was part washed away in the 2007 floods, that's why that stretch is only shallow now. Lost all it's depth, the flagstones are all damaged or overgrown now, not as good as it was.

[@itsme-lc5ui]

I watched a lad catch a 30lb plus common carp 1/2 mile down river from there a few years ago. It must have come out of a commercial when the floods hit

[@jasonk1167]

Another top notch video as always mate!!🙌🏻 My only complaint... I wish it went on longer 🎣

[@CatchFishingChannel]

Haha oh Jason I do too but I didn't think people would watch any longer for just one bite! Hahah

[@iandiddy3351]

Jamie does urban banx 💪😉

[@derekbatey1501]

Nice change of scenery Jamie and a beautiful fish. A lot of grayling in the Don but unfortunately access is terrible. I used to fish around meadowhall area and caught a lot of grayling plus dace, roach and chub but flood defences have made access even worse and impossible in places. Real shame.

[@CatchFishingChannel]

Oh Yes I agree Derek mate access isn't very good down that end is it!

[@karlrance7669]

Love the new upbeat music

[@CatchFishingChannel]

Haha got to keep things upbeat and happy through these times haven't we mate :)

[@stephengeoghegan-doughty.5870]

Hi Jamie I said to the misses i bet he nails a grayling and so it was, a great video bud, i like a little bit of roving, its hard to beat at times of bordom, i do it on a tributary by me and it always surprise's me what it throws up, trout, roach, perch, pike, hybrid to fish of several pounds, its good fun for a couple of hours. Beautiful fish the grayling and nearly a guaranteed bit when its freezing cold, good job bud. Take care, Stay safe and keep it lit.👍 my friend.

[@CatchFishingChannel]

Haha I'm impressed you called it right mate! Yes they are lovely fish and it's nice being active like that on cold winter days isn't it :)

[@alycidon12]

Jamie.... One of my favourite venues where you fished. From the spot where Loxley joins Don is prolific fishing all along that bank, surprised you didn't hook a chub though, plenty there. Great stuff mate IAN

[@CatchFishingChannel]

Oh nice one thanks for sharing that Ian! I didn't know there were any chub in that stretch. Do you normally tackle them on the float or feeder mate?

[@alycidon12]

@@CatchFishingChannel as i said levels mate, if its swollen fish feeder 2/3rds across, as its dropping stick float heavy

Another quality video mate .. making me tired just watching you .. great effort.. keep it up

[@CatchFishingChannel]

Haha thanks for watching Graeme mate!

[@cdalreverbnationartist3030]

Great video. Not fancying the flask then? I fished that stretch from where you started down to and including underneath the road bridge in the summer. Got absolutely hammered with crays everywhere. Good to see a few fish of quality are there :-)

[@CatchFishingChannel]

Oh no mate I didn't know the crays had got in there already! That's terrible news :( TBH I didn't know the 'flask' was open until yesterday. They closed it in the first lockdown so I didn't know we could still fish it but now I know I'll be going up their mate :)

[@armius]

Very nice clip and environment waiting for next clip. 🙂 May I ask some question how long of hook length appropriate for river?

[@carltizwaz1607]

theres also a lot of red claw crayfish in the don now especially on that last stretch where you caught the grayling. i caught a crayfish the other week and i threw it over the wall. horrible things and bad for the river. i dont like doing it but it has to be done. sorry.

[@Rob-di7uu]

Great back to nature/youth day Jamie 👍 couple of questions 1/ what strength line ? 2/ what rod are you using?

[@CatchFishingChannel]

Thanks Rob mate! I just used 6lb Horizon reel line (no shockleader) and as it doesn't flow much there I used the 3.3m Horizon Slim with a 1oz tip this one mate www.fishmatrix.co.uk/home/product/horizon-pro-slim-rods?c=rods-horizon

[@bendrowe]

I fish that weir regularly and you wouldn't believe the surprises I've had

[@CatchFishingChannel]

Really? What fish have you caught there mate?

[@jasonalexander4961]

Trout and grayling in the Don! Wow. Things have changed. Growing up in Rotherham the Don use to be so polluted you could smell the chemicals. Also if you got the river water on you,you would get a rash. Thanks to the EU legislation rivers have been cleaned up !!

[@CatchFishingChannel]

No way Jason was it that bad??!! How long ago was that?

[@MarkBagger]

Great vid mate, every town and city has little places that hardly get fished like the one you shown. Lovely Grayling worth getting out of bed for 👍🏻🎣. Quick question please i am gonna purchase the 4000 and 5000 Horizon reels soon and would like to know roughly how much backing the spools need before I can put braid on. Cheers and tight lines.

[@CatchFishingChannel]

Your right and thanks for watching mate! Backing wise you'll need about 150m of 6lb line I think on those mate but you'll need quite a bit as your braid will only be 0.08 or 0.10 won't it mate?

[@MarkBagger]

@@CatchFishingChannel Thanks mate probably be 0.10 or 0.12. The reason I asked is because I am new to using braid I've watched countless KZbin videos on the subject. But nobody really covers the spooling up of it properly. Once again thanks 👍🏻🎣

Thanks for the support Gary mate! Camera wise I just used GoPros from the start. Now I use the GoPro 9 and a DSLR camera for shooting videos at home. Software wise, for the first 100 videos I did I used GoPro Studio which was free but for the last 300 videos I've used Final Cut Pro X, hope this helps mate!

@@CatchFishingChannel yes mate find the chub and barbel are always 6-16 ft behind them them two species of have a special relationship. I can't explain why. But when you go on small rivers were you can see the bottom the barbel seem to have pecking order with chub. Eventually the barbel get Confident and bully the chub out the swim.
