Took my 8 year old lad on his first fishing trip today. Ended up on a small local stream. Plenty of tiny roach, chub and perch. I'll never forget the smile on his face. He's hooked for life now.

These little river videos are awesome. Childhood memories galore!

I love it so much. Will always be my ‘home fishing’ the stuff which makes me feel comfortable and happy every time! :)

Small streams aren't just trainer streams. I find myself going back to them for their intimacy and simplicity. The famous American writer and painter Russell Chatham once wrote that fishing small streams for smaller fish can be a more enjoyable and perhaps purer type of fishing because one becomes less preoccupied with battling large fish, and more tuned into the river and just fishing. I think this was the best film you've made all year. Merry Christmas. And get well soon.

[@happydace6991]

Agree with you entirely Jon . And what can be better than catching a truly wild fish in such beautiful natural surroundings ? Beats day ticket garden ponds any day ! .

Takes me back to my childhood days cycling with basic tackle and some sandwiches and a bottle of pop to catch Perch, Roach and Gudgeon from a local beck. Great memories.

This remains my favourite vid you have ever done Carl, love small streams and rivers

[@vinnyvtec8722]

I'm with you on the gudgeon. They are the cutest little fish we have and in the right light surprisingly colourful. Also, in my opinion, they are one of the best perch livebaits you can use, which might explain why most of the fish you caught were perch and gudgeon. In fact, a technique I used to use was to use a float set up with a size 8 hook and then whip a size 18 to the bend of the size 8. Then Id use a single red maggot on the 18 and in shallow water, twitch it back in slowly. You'd usually end up with a minnow or a gudgeon on the size 18, reel in, put the size 8 in its mouth and instant livebait, then cast to a deeper slack area beside the flow and the float would 9 times out of 10 literally disappear within a second or 2 of hitting the water. This is how I caught my pb perch of 2lb 12oz. Hope you guys had a lovely Christmas all the best for the new year and thanks again for another good video.

I've just started the drop shot method of fishing and its really refreshing. You find yourself so connected to the bites and mobile a little go here and there with what ever baits on the hook you like natural or plastics. Interesting vid as usual keep em coming.

Gudgeon the very fist fish I caught in Colderstone lake about 80yrs ago they were a beautiful little fish & we thought we were the Bees, I wonder if there are still any in the lake Knees. Cheers Tippo.

It's been almost 2 years since I started watching C&A videos and at this point I have watched all of them and never felt bored. Quit the opposite - they inspired me to come back again to fishing and help me relax after a busy week in the office. Continue with the good work, guys! Greetings from Bulgaria!

As an occasional angler with my son, lucky to have a small stream like these, with all species and chub that size, 5 min walk from my house, and I'm the only person I have seen ever fish it. It's all I need!

[@hunter111uk]

I enjoyed watching that, thank you. A trip down Memory Lane remembering how many of my Generation began Angling. Back in the day a Fishing Trip didn't involve spending hours dozing in a bed-chair waiting for an alarm to tell you when to reel in. Even now if there's little activity it's quite normal for me to move 2 or 3 times a session.

[@fishingtutorials]

Yes I much agree, I'm not into static fishing so much, unless I'm targeting something specific. It's not my favourite. I much prefer being able to carry everything I need! and feel able to move about freely from spot to spot :)

[@hunter111uk]

I fish some Waters with very wet banks so I carry all my gear in two Gorilla Plastic Garden Buckets, easy to move to another Swim and no Furniture Removal Van required.

Love small stream fishing, we have one near me that is far from it's height in the 80's and 90's (When 3oz Gudgeon were fairly common and there were huge shoals of Roach and Dace) but it still throws up some beauties on simple rigs and light tackle, including a 3lb Perch on the maggot 6 weeks ago

[@daveslaughter8290]

This was great. I learned to fly fish on small ponds and creeks. My gear was a spinning rod with an old bait casting reel loaded with “fly line” (twine covered with line dressing), a length of monofilament for a leader and some panfish popping bugs. I learned to cast with this and the bluegills, pumpkinseeds and other sunfish didn’t care a bit. What fun. A year later I got a proper fly rod for Christmas. I still love the small creeks but now it’s for trout in Montana.

[@fishingtutorials]

Nice one! That sounds super fun :) good luck for the trout!

When you said 9 ft I almost choked. For streams that size I usually use my 4.5 or 5.5 ft ultralight rods. Just easier through the bush and tight spaces. I've also found that Berkeley PowerBait pink worms work beautifully for any of these small species as well.

I use a telescopic rod for small streams, we have a tiny stream past the house with old mill ponds which make good habitat for the wild trout and bullheads which are the only species, the telescopic has also been good for some light tackle fishing inside Minehead harbour.

A truly delightful vid . I share your love of gudgeon ( mini barbel ! ) . Pity they don't grow larger as they fight like the devil !! And as you say beautiful metallic colours . I'm lucky enough to have a small beck at my disposal similar to this , a tad wider maybe . And have the perfect rod ! .... About 10 yr ago , Poundland were selling three and a half feet telescopic fishing rod at .... yep you guessed it , a quid 😂. And they looked crap . But you know what ? They are brill !! I've had fish to 7lb on it and it's perfect for this type of fishing in your vid . One word of constructive criticism if I may please . It would be wise to emphasise the need to gain permission before fishing these little streams ( or anywhere for that matter ) even if on public footpaths . As a beginner may well think it's ok to go out and fish these places , which obviously it is not . Otherwise , really enjoyed it and thanks for sharing 👍
