Float Fishing For Tench | Rocklandmere Fishery | Come Back Mr.Crabtree

In the heart of Norfolk's countryside lies a stunning little pool called Roacklandmere Fishery. This hidden gem is covered with thick aquatic vegetation, a haven for the shy crucian and tench. Although the crucians avoided capture on the day, Daniel Woolcott thoroughly enjoyed his time here leaving the big pits behind for the day and going back to basics catching some pristine Tench on the float.

You are a man after my own heart to choose such Tackle, real fishing at arms-length, with no elastic or bite-alarms involved. I still have my original copy of Fishing With Mr Crabtree In All Waters, it's a bit battered and dog-eared, but then, so am I!🤣

Fished there on Monday with a pal. Absolutely beautiful place. Some lovely Rudd and Roach in there as well. Caught Crucians but only on Breadflake.

Absolutely magic stuff. So many memories from my youth come to mind. Thank you guys, keep em coming 👏👏👏

[@David-ce1nh]

That's proper fishing 🎣 ❤

[@mightymaggot9510]

Great watch, fish the place myself being local with more or less the same tactics, wonderful fishery with some little treasures in there

[@stuartnewman6968]

Absolutely fabulous. Make me tingle. Fabulous fishing simple direct. Thankyou for this. Would love to see this guy doing another "catching the impossible" series. Great fishing presented by a great fisherman.

Absolute quality video well done to the camera operator. Well done Daniel great video, could watch a whole series with you on it, amazing. 👏🏼

Lovely little video. It reminds me of when I'm fishing for Crucians and catch Tench as well. There's not many situations where you can be at least slightly disappointed with a Tench, except when every fish you hook you say... that's a big Crucian! That is until you feel the comparative power of Tench compared to Crucians. You're much better at keeping them out of the lilies than me too!

Amazing video ,It is so great to see people using the traditional methods and also a pin Brilliant

[@darrenhabgood8877]

Another great film, keep them coming,

[@dface6447]

reminds me of a couple of ponds ear where i live on the south sheffield/derbyshire border 🙂,full of lilly’s and lots of carp and tench,great sport,i used to use a 13ft Diawa match rod and a 2 BB wagler float and fish tight to the pads in high summer,very simple 3/4lb line straight through to a 16 hook with corn and luncheon meat🙂,happy days !!

[@stephencrabtree3161]

I’m here !!! Not in Norfolk unfortunately though - but been getting some decent tench from the Ulverston canal 👍👍

[@johnwhite2112]

Great video, beautiful healthy fish.

[@chriseegee-man6918]

Excellent production

[@43enfield]

Beautiful fishing, so many waters are just filled with carp. The angling society I belong to have some lovely little secluded ponds. Do they put in tench and crucians, oh no they put in carp. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy carp fishing from time to time but there is so much more to fishing. The obsession with carp makes me very sad.🙁

Fantastic!

[@DrennanTackleTV]

Glad you like it!

[@nobbyclarke6051]

What a lovely venue , full of surprise , lovely Tench , Paul mentioned some lovely Roach and Rudd ,the Roach are my game like to know how big they go , would love o fish it , some smashing Tench Dan thanks for the video …

[@paulhills8963]

We had them to just under a pound. There's also some decent Perch in there as well. The owner said that he's going to thin them out a bit so the bigger ones should grow on to a really decent size

[@nobbyclarke6051]

Thanks Paul for the info 👍🏻

[@longnetter]

Proper tench fishing 👍

[@feederadventures891]

It's magic of other fish

[@davidschultz3435]

Hey Daniel 😊 I like all your Videos. Very nice to see. Can you say me please which rod of the Acolyte do you fish?

[@DrennanTackleTV]

Hi David. Glad you are enjoying Dan's videos. In this film Daniel was using the 15ft Acolyte plus float rod.

[@jasonrenshaw9010]

Why have you used the waggler fixed at the top as well please? Why not use a pole float instead or the waggler bottom end only? Curious to know the reason. Thanks.

[@jonathanbarclay3710]

What is the make/version of the Centrepin reel featured in the video?

[@Chips273]

Okuma Sheffield with a line guard I’d say.

[@snappyfish]

What's the centrepin you are using?

[@alexbrown6624]

At what depth do you stop with float and move to feeder ?

[@samuelgarrod8327]

Depends on length of your rod. Slider float is always an option.

[@Will-xe7yy]

Strange how people feel the need to touch instead of just looking.

[@mwatson785]

Does it get any better than this?? In my opinion, no it doesn't

[@honeyfras1]

3 pound line in that type of swim is irresponsible how many were lost in the lily pads
