FREE FEEDER FISHING - Big River - Urban Fishing - Hot Weather - River Trent - Trent Bridge

This week we explore the free fishing Trent Embankment further and try to catch with swim feeder near but not too close to Trent Bridge in Nottinghamshire. Maggots, hemp and caster the baits but would we catch on a hot sunny morning in a clear low river with rowing boats galore? Urban Perch Fishing.

Lovely Kev. Such nostalgia for me. I caught my first ever river fish from that exact spot. A gobio about 1/2 oz. I took 2 busses to get there from Mansfield. The 345 in and another from Victoria bus station with all my tackle at 13 yrs old and wagged school for the day on 16th June 1981 Great memories. Keep doing the Trent videos

Nostalgic viewing for me Kev. Used to fish tother side of the bridge...Turners key, back in the 80s . Had a few nice chub out of there on sweet corn. Remember listening to the charts on a Sunday...In the air tonight was no1...

I also use to fish this part of the embankment forty years ago. It was good for Roach and Perch back then. Millions of Gudgeon. We recently took out Rib boat with fish finder along this stretch of the Trent from Colwick sluice gates up to Clifton bridge . Like Kev said “ lots of metal snags under Trent bridge” the water depth surprised me at only 8.5ft in the middle arch. Suspension bridge 7.0ft, Wilford toll bridge, close in 13ft ,Clifton bridge 4.5ft. The deepest part of this stretch was 18ft at Little Higgen.

Enjoying your video’s. Be good if you could do one perhaps in the evening and targeting bigger fish.

What is the music in the intro to this great video, from 8 years of age up to 20 years ago this was my hemp and caster area, there used to be a pole sticking out the steps about half way from where you are now to the foot bridge, the river just pushed out at that point due to the slight bend and was a spot to head for, the pole sticking out was a built in rod rest, 10-15 lb of roach any day of the week and i lost a fish well over 2 lb, most were 6-12 0z but fantastic fun, i spent all those years fishing every part of the Trent from Gunthorpe to Thrumpton all free and now living in the far south west its just a memory. so thank you for this chance to relive the best of my Angling times, Tim Lee

[@charlieopenshaw7431]

Is it completely free to go and fish there

[@MrEREDIT]

you should try down behind the racecourse next to Colwick park. Free fishing there too and loads of bream last time I went down. will be going again tomorrow!

[@mgproryh]

Hi, just looking for a bit of info, how far up / down the river does this free fishing go? Thanks

[@a.michaelsen2389]

Looks like you should have used one of them dace and rigged it as a live bait. Might have caught you large perch.
