Fishing an OVERGROWN River with JOHN WILSONS Avon Rod! 🎣

[@HitTheBricks89]

Lovely stuff mate. I'm a multi species fisherman myself and spend a lot of my time nowadays in small rivers, ponds and the docks , I was only thinking a couple of your films ago I wonder if Shaun does any other types of fishing apart from the carp and here you are. After nearly 20 years bivvi'd up on 3 day crusades I started going back to the type of fishing I started with and I love it more than anything else nowadays . I still get a few carp sessions in but I love this style of fishing . Great tips of trotting for beginners and this is generally what youngsters especially who cant affords all the gear start with. Really made my day this did Shaun , cheers and be lucky .

[@TheFishingBloggers]

Glad you enjoyed it! I fish for everything, I’ve only filmed the odd session featuring other species. Hoping to bring more to the channel now 👍

WoW the old John Wilson Avon rod , nostalgia at its very finest Shaun . I've never caught a Grayling or a Zander and have sort of made this winter a mission to accomplish the feat. Just makes you feel good being out on the bank with a classic rod . Tight lines guys 🤞🎣🤞 Steve M

[@TheFishingBloggers]

Yea it was great fun, done a few other trips since! Graylings in my list this winter, avoided me for so long!

Got to make the most of our time 👍

I have a couple of them old jown Wilson Avon's. I sometimes use the quiver section in place when fishing smaller rivers. It makes it act more like a mini stick float rod. Excellent content mate.

[@TheFishingBloggers]

Thank you 🙏 sadly I snapped the top of the quiver section when chub fishing in Baltic conditions many years ago! Top of the rod had frozen, had a bite and the tip snapped! And the rings were frozen solid too…not my best session 😂

Cracking job Boss 😎👍 nice change from lashing 3oz leads around 👌

[@TheFishingBloggers]

I’ve done quite a bit of mixed species this year, just need to film more of it!

[@DaveBoothangler]

Great vid as always...I haven't trotted a float for years ...think I need to get out an have a go

[@TheFishingBloggers]

I love it, an hour or two here and there! It’s such simple fishing and very active of you rove along a river 👍

[@richiemarshall8393]

That was a mega little session mate, brings back old memories, something different, top notch, keep them coming mate, fantastic, it was enjoyable to watch, bet it was enjoyable to fish,👍

The ol' JW, a very versatile rod. The fact that different companies still sell rods on the same theme says it all.

[@TheFishingBloggers]

It’s a great bit of kit, bit wonky now though! Carbons had a battering over the years!

@@TheFishingBloggers but it paid for itself!🙂

[@TheFishingBloggers]

@@billcollins6705 my dad invested well 😂

[@billcollins6705]

We could probably all still catch plenty with just a fraction of the gear we have. Back in the day, my late teens/early 20's, I had a float rod, a swingtip rod (!), and a pair of Gerry Savage carp rods which I think (its 40+years ago...) were 11ft and 2lb tc. They were use for everything, carp, tench, bream, pike, pollock, wrasse, mullet. I have 20+ rods now and probably catch less 😅

[@TheFishingBloggers]

@@billcollins6705 I’ve still got a pair of 1.75lb glass carp rods from my old man, his first carp rods and my first carp rods! Still use them 1/2 a year, theres a couple of videos on the channel featuring them! I do mostly short sessions now as I get fed up of all the bulky kit we all carry, I’ve started to strip it all down and find it more fun!

[@FishyDave7]

Lovely spot of fishing, nice and simple just enjoying it for what it is 👍 Had a john wilson avon quiver when i was younger lovely rod shame i dont have it anymore. More of that style of fishing would be great.

[@TheFishingBloggers]

Plenty more coming! 😃 Glad you enjoyed it, need the rivers to stop filling up though 😂

Don’t think so, of there are then few and far between

Haven't seen these rods in years! Absolutely love them. What's the biggest you ever caught on one?😊

Wjere was this to mate? We are local so want to give river a shot when our kids are at school

[@TheFishingBloggers]

It’s the chew, it’s a club stretch.

[@Familyfishinguk]

@@TheFishingBloggers what club we are part of a club with rivers we just haven't explored them. We are baliff for them but only started this week so need to get to them

[@TheFishingBloggers]

@@Familyfishinguk it’s either BAA or KAA, I’ve got all the local club tickets can’t remember who covers what without having a look at the tabs.

[@TheFishingBloggers]

No, the title says fishing with John Wilson’s rod and the thumbnail is the rod and I’m pointing at it…..can’t be more clear than that 😂😂
