FISHING THE RIVER IN THE CLOSED SEASON

[@samhirst7331]

Love this. Been taking my kids on river last few weeks spinning and fishing with worms. Been catching loads of trout. I always tell my kids when we get to a peg we have to sit and watch for 5 mins and work out where the fish are first. Going to show them this and then they might think I'm.not talking out me arse 😂 and ill point out how you said about being as quiet as you can 😂😂😂 can't beat our rivers man.

[@AdamsFishingAdventures]

Its a good bit of sport in the closed season and targeting different fish for a change can be a welcome relief hope your kids enjoy buddy. Thanks for watching

[@julien1]

You can still fish with barbed hooks for trout ?.. thought it had changed to barbless it should imo.

great vid , lovely trout , lovely river youve inspired me to do more trout fishing 👍

[@piclife1178]

I don't think float fishing worm for Trout is in the spirit of what was traditionally acceptable. Fly fishing is the only method that clearly targets Trout. A float fished worm will catch everything the river has to offer.

[@thejevo8831]

You should not be doing this any fish can take that bait your advertising to eastern Europeans and do you have a migratory trout licence i won't be watching anymore of your content

[@robshaw3655]

the normal coarse licence covers brown trout

[@stevenhayward1606]

The old Severn Trent licences used to say ledger only with worms as bait for eels in the close season. There was also a regulation on minimum hook size. Think it was a size 4....but I can't remember. Best to check your local bylaws guys.

[@samcash123]

I enjoy getting the fly rod out in the close season. Local club rules in my area state you can fish for trout with fly only regardless of the bylaws 😊

[@peterknowles2344]

Great video Adam so thanks. Not got round to fly fishing too, but glad for alternatives in closed season , otherwise, with UK weather we can never get on a river.

[@leethornley2480]

I find the rules and regulations pathetic So we cant fish on a river in closed season Yet we can fish on a lake 365 days a year The river licence states we can take home 15 silver fish or 1 pike or 1 barble per day to eat Yet we are for sport and not to eat , River authorities take the piss ,they want rod licence money from us yet dont do a days work More pollution than ever No upkeep of banks More fish and wild life killed by pollution A slap on the wrist for big companies with there dumping of toxins Yet the poor fisherman gets the backlash of bs Oh and we can all go sea fishing So where is the right story of the fish breeding and left alone Canadian geese are the biggest shit dumpers going But nothing said about them anymore

[@robshaw3655]

agree with most of that except i dont think the River Authorities receive our rod licence money. It used to be a right pain having to get a licence from each water authority..at least the one licence idea is easier. That money is also available to angling clubs through grants to improve fisheries.

[@vogue25754]

click bait, he only catches 1 average trout and doesnt offer any useful information, just common sense

[@blueglassback]

Are you sure you can use a float on rivers in the closed season ? I don't think so.

[@AdamsFishingAdventures]

Where does it say that?

[@blueglassback]

@@AdamsFishingAdventures Regionally: "Where the coarse fish close season applies (see above) and you are fishing for other species you must not use any float or bait (which term includes ground bait) other than artificial or natural fly (which term excludes bloodworms, jokers and other midge larvae), spinners, minnows, worms, prawns or shrimps

[@AdamsFishingAdventures]

@@blueglassback Im fishing worm on a float for trout I've read the Gov website back to front says absolutely nothing about float fishing link in description please read....

[@blueglassback]

@@AdamsFishingAdventures it isn't governed by the Government website. They are area based rules. You need to abide by area by laws. You obviously haven't checked your area by laws otherwise you would have quoted it now. Listen pal, if you want to get caught out, carry on, I don't care, it's your problem. I also noticed others had queried the use of a float too. If you want to carry on breaking laws, good luck with that.

National regulations mean trout fishing is fine during the Close Season for coarse fish. However ,did you check the small print of your local River Authority bylaws ? Most ,if not all, Authorities stipulate that only artificial fly or lure can be used . Some Local Councils who control stretches of river and allow free public fishing actually ban fishing for any species, including trout and salmon during the Close Season for coarse fish . This avoids people bending the rules and reduces disturbance to spawning coarse fish. Of course your area may be an exception in which case congratulations on a good video 👍

[@leeshelton1230]

Great idea but not sure about how I would get away with it for trout in Essex. I’ve been trying to find rivers/streams here for a while that contain trout to further my fly fishing but have struggled. Got to admit though the production on this was brilliant, took me back to watching a passion for angling -stunning!

[@JayStapley]

essex here too! not a lot of chalk streams up here and the one i've found is horribly neglected and slowly choking up.

[@originalshadowfax]

Cant help but wonder about some of the comments on here where people simply don't have a clue what they are talking about, especially regarding licences, your licence to cover you for trout and coarse fish has always been there and an additional one to cover you for salmon and sea trout. That's even going back to the old individual river board licences days when you had to buy a licence for each are you fished in rather than the one national one you get now

[@robbieallan6522]

That wouldn't fly on the isle of man I don't think 🤔, you can have 2 licences a river licence and an other waters licence if the river contains course fish and trout but we don't have any course fish in our rivers to the best of my knowledge.

Game fishing during the coarse fish close season You can fish for salmon, trout and other game fish during the coarse fish close season. You have to use certain types of lures and baits in some areas however. Midlands, Yorkshire, and the north-east and north-west of England You can only use natural or artificial fly, minnow, worm, shrimp, prawn, sand eel or artificial lures during close season.

Unless the fishery rules have changed I thought you was only allowed to ledger with worms in the close season on rivers so double check before you go float fishing with worms again.. only trying to help you not get in any trouble that's all..but some cracking trout you caught 👍

[@samhirst7331]

Gov site says you can fish with worm doesn't say about it being float or legered.

[@rossp7105]

It does in some area’s byelaws. This is the Midlands byelaw for trout fishing during the coarse closed season. (I’m not sure where this video is filmed) 1. Where the coarse fish close season applies and you are fishing for eels or trout, you must not: use any float or bait (including ground bait) other than artificial or natural fly (excluding bloodworms, jokers and other midge larvae), spinners, minnows, worms, prawns or shrimps.

[@paulcole4902]

@@rossp7105 Well I live in the Midlands and that's all I have ever known for fishing in the close season that you're only allowed to ledger with worms..even though I think it's about time they abolished the close season because the is not one in Ireland and the is no shortage of fish over there..but do you know why the was a closed season introduced nothing to do with fish spawning reply if you don't know the answer

[@eileenhenryselby-smith9762]

Why is it a closed season? Did you think to ask?

[@AdamsFishingAdventures]

Why is that

[@portcullis5622]

Back in the mid-1990s (1991 in Yorkshire), the Environment Agency foolishly caved in to pressure to allow angling on stillwaters in the spring months. There is no need (or excuse) for anyone to fish for coarse fish during the close season.

[@terryyakamoto3488]

Have you got any points to argue this position? Or any scientific evidence that it does any harm? I'd argue that there's a very definite "need" to go fishing at this time because people enjoy it. The river close season needs scrapping too, so few people fish the rivers that it is pointless.

[@portcullis5622]

@@terryyakamoto3488 I have plenty of points, but don't have the time right now. So I will merely say that angling is the only field sport that doesn't have a close season. The fact that "people enjoy" fishing in spring is hardly a convincing argument to justify it. People formerly "enjoyed" doing all kinds of things which are now banned on the grounds of animal welfare. Fish are wild creatures and should be left to breed in peace for a few weeks at least. Admittedly, the current close season is far from ideal, as there is wide regional variation in spring weather, temperatures and spawning periods of different species.

[@terryyakamoto3488]

@@portcullis5622 The fact that "people enjoy" it wasn't put forward as a justifiable reason for scrapping the close season, rather as a counter to your claim that there is "no need" for fishing in spring. I would argue that having anglers on our river banks reporting fish kills through pollution, over use of water by private water companies, environmental damage from landowners plus the deterrent of unnatural predation by cormorants and seals, provides more benefit to the fish than otherwise. Secondly, my river the Tees is probably the most fished in the northeast, yet only a couple of stretches see angling pressure and most of the river hardly ever sees an angler, unfortunately

[@peterfitzpatrick7032]

​@@portcullis5622 we have no closed season here in Ireland... we also have a live bait ban... and no rod licence for coarse fishing... I don't see what the closed season achieves...🤔 😎👍☘🍺

[@portcullis5622]

@@peterfitzpatrick7032 Well, for a start it makes me uncomfortable and sad that angling is the only field sport that doesn't give its quarry a break. Nine to ten months is a long enough season to pursue any species of fish. A spring break gives most species some respite, even if fixed dates won't cover all species across the country, as temperatures vary so much.
