PERCH FISHING at Britford on the Hampshire Avon

[@felgate11]

Great film & music mate. I use drilled, .22 Air gun pellets to load some of my floats on the stem. 🎣 The float rubber seats nice around the waste, but still slides up & down.

@@felgate11 Thank you Martin, that’s an interesting way to shot your floats 👍

Lovely looking river. Great Perch with great music!

[@fishingtailfilms]

It is a beautiful stretch of the river, Mr Crabtree syle for sure. Thank You B🐟🎣

I used to stay at the river keepers house in my late teens, that was 45 years ago. So much water and a magical place. Spent lots of days just walking and stalking the chub and roach. Thanks for the video, brought back some great memories. 👍

@@allanbeasley4565 Hi Allan, you are welcome and thank you for your message. Sounds like you have some fantastic memories of the river, thank you for sharing. Russ 🐟🎣👍

A really beautiful video. The perch is such a majestic fish. Where I used to live (Bedford) the perch were getting rather big and a lot of them. 👍👍👍

[@fishingtailfilms]

Thank you Andy, the Perch are fantastic fish and I just love fishing for them. I have heard of some very big Perch in the Bedford area so great to hear they are big and in numbers. 🐟🎣 👍

[@andycollings4302]

@fishingtailfilms Well they were there 12 years ago. I live in Weymouth now, doing my first love, sea fishing. My best is 3lb, caught along Bedford embankment. I also caught a 2lb roach on the same day. They are growing big on a diet of small fish and crayfish.

@@andycollings4302 3lbs Perch and a 2lbs Roach is a fine day's fishing Andy, excellent and agree with the crayfish, the Perch get fat munching on them as I found out at Hordle Lakes recently 👍

I must say I'm loving this new perch content I've stumbled across...they don't have to be big to be beautiful...thats what I've told the Mrs for the past 20 year anyway 🙂

[@fishingtailfilms]

@@gavincorbett1272 Very true Gavin 😊 have you seen there is a Perch playlist of videos on the info section. Pleased you are enjoying the perch content, more to come soon 👍

[@gavincorbett1272]

@fishingtailfilms I have watched a couple but I've not seen the playlist...I will investigate and binge on them 🙂 the perch content is my favourite as they are my favourite species to fish for...do you have an Instagram or Facebook I could follow?

[@fishingtailfilms]

Nice days fishing in a beautiful location mate.

[@fishingtailfilms]

Very true Paul, such a beautiful part of the Avon and it is always a pleasure to fish there 👍🎣

[@thecoconutdog1]

People who don't fish may never know what incredible creatures live in our waters.

[@fishingtailfilms]

@@thecoconutdog1 👍 exactly John 🐟

[@keithscott676]

Hi Russ you using the same rod for ledger and float

[@fishingtailfilms]

On that occasion I was Terry, as I tried to travel as light as possible due to lots of walking. It did the job ok 👍 my Darent Valleys 1.25 test curve. Normally I would use a greys specialist same test curve 👍

[@terrywalker7727]

@@fishingtailfilms I did wonder as I like a white or orange tip on my ledger rods even when touch ledgering I find it useful

[@fishingtailfilms]

I agree Terry especially in certain light conditions 👍🎣

[@markward8216]

One life time is interesting, if we all come back as otters let’s have a pact of leaving the rivers alone

[@silentangling]

Very enjoyable video, I was promoted to head hear from instagram.

[@fishingtailfilms]

Thank you and glad you found the link from instagram. I shall be watching your videos over the weekend when I have finished editing and uploading my new film on the channel 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
