Thank you very much 👍

[@alexpage7292]

Great vid mate, love fishing the Avon

[@BlackCountryPiker]

All new for me but hopefully more to come

[@skiingislife6496]

Nice fishing in Ireland the pike population is very low in our canals and some rivers but there is a lot in our lakes and our lakes are about 2 hours away and it’s really difficult to get out fishing. Nice video though.

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Cheers matey, I’ve always known Ireland as a Mecca for pike but I’ve read there’s been a pike cull a few times. Is that right?

[@skiingislife6496]

Black Country Piker sadly yes it hurts to say that but good news my local river just down the road( you need waders to fish it) I used to only fish for trout but one time I went down for pike and first cast I caught a 10 lb pike which is brilliant but there’s not much area to fish

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Skiing Is Life that’s such a shame

[@Fishwish]

Worth watching it to the very end to see you getting tormented by passing cars 😂. Glad I’m not the only one that happens to. Could be doing an outro on the moon and one would drive by. Right I’m off fishing. Good stuff and keep them coming. My local Avon is the smelly bristol one so wish me luck!

[@BlackCountryPiker]

😂😂😂 good luck 👍

[@Deathst4lker]

Decent clip mate - and some nice fish -cheers

[@BlackCountryPiker]

[@bickleysanglingadventures5866]

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Cheers Paul, hope Abbie is having a lovely birthday mate 👍

[@chrisanddavesguitarjourney1378]

Flippin awesome mate .. fished that place three years ago and had some cracking perch ... great video as always 🎣👍

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Cheers Chris, funnily enough I didn’t see any perch that day but a friend of mine fished it the week before and couldn’t stop catching them

[@markmatthews8429]

Nice to see you back, some good fish there, if your going for some barbel come down to barbel alley, has been fishing well just lately, had my pb a couple of fridays ago, I'm going out to improve my pike skills this week. tite lines bud

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Thank you 👍 Sounds good! I’m off out tomorrow hopefully but I might be back on the Avon 👍

[@xthedarkx]

Nice to see you enjoying Fladbury at last

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Cheers Kieran, it’s only taken 2 years hasn’t it 😂

[@Vincentdonnelly5158]

Some great filming congratulations

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Thank you Vincent, I was a bit peeved at the angle of footage but pleased to be back out 👍

[@simplyangling9140]

absolutely killing it yet again mate, very good angling well in

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Thanks matey, it was a nice way to come back 👍

[@TrailsNTrout]

Never know what you'll hook in a river. Nice video man. Tight lines from BFG

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Cheers dude 👍

[@NewDimension7]

Very Beautiful videos Yuhuu .. I like it..

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Thank you

[@LIAFL]

You’ll find in Fladbury that the big fish have scars from surviving attacks from otters. Especially the barbel

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Have you seen a lot of this? I know otters are there but I’ve never seen one

[@LIAFL]

@@BlackCountryPiker 6 years ago I went barbel fishing there with my dad and we pulled out 10 between us and smashing our PB’s. Ever since then we don’t get much and the bigger ones seem like the have bite/ claw marks. I’ve seen the otters there and the local tackle shop told me they were re- introduced but they are ruining the fishing.

[@BlackCountryPiker]

@@LIAFL oh no! What a change

[@ndpd1066]

I would love to have a go at this? Most of my fishing is for trout and some sea fishing.

[@BlackCountryPiker]

It’s great action when you find the pike 👍

[@ndpd1066]

@@BlackCountryPiker is there any specific kit that I need? I already have spinning rods and reels!

[@BlackCountryPiker]

The most important is good braid and wire trace. What rod and reel are you fishing with? Also what lures are you chucking

[@ndpd1066]

I have several spinning rods from 7ft lrf to 9 and 10ft up to 60gr. With Shimano baitrunner and Abu Garcia both loaded with 20lb braid. I dont think the lures I have will suffice mainly flying c mepps and different types of sea fishing lures.

[@BlackCountryPiker]

@@ndpd1066 braid that light would worry me but your throwing light lures so should be ok

[@parklandpiker]

Nice one,that first fish was so stubborn 🤣

[@BlackCountryPiker]

😂😂 definitely, hopefully more to come

[@user-kd4mf2fo6h]

Are you using a cheb on that fly?

[@BlackCountryPiker]

No I’m not though I have some. In this instance it’s a jigfly so the weight is already on the hook 👍

[@user-kd4mf2fo6h]

@@BlackCountryPiker How long is that jigfly mate getting some myself

[@BlackCountryPiker]

1948 the one that caught in this video was about 6inch long, roughly

[@Xarek74]

Where do u get a day ticket to fish on a river Avon ?

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Hi mate, unfortunately it’s a season ticket and not a day ticket. That said it’s only £40 for 12 months and has miles of water to fish it’s the BAA app.baa.uk.com/memberships/

[@Xarek74]

@@BlackCountryPiker oh okay I though u fishing in Bristol area not Birmingham thank u anyway

[@BlackCountryPiker]

No worries 👍

[@Grubbtime222]

Hi what’s your rod and reel setup?

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Hi Lee, at the moment I have the following Abu Garcia Venerate 9ft 10-45g Diawa Ninja 3000 reel Power pro braid 50lb

[@NOISISOFIA]

Wich part of avon ? Cheers

[@BlackCountryPiker]

This is a section of the Birmingham anglers association In fladbury 👍

[@UKFishingFinesse]

I’m watching this 11 months after you posted and I’m sure the same pike just a little bigger sits in the exact same spot doing exactly the same 😂😂

[@BlackCountryPiker]

It wouldn’t surprise me, I’ve yet to see or catch one of the big pike there but there’s plenty up and coming

[@UKFishingFinesse]

@@BlackCountryPiker I pulled a 10lber out two weekends ago but I’m sure there is some monsters in there!

[@BlackCountryPiker]

@@UKFishingFinesse most definitely 👍

[@scotty1004]

I must have a strange brain at 4:16 it sounded like you said"He has nailed me, i have been a nonce"

[@BlackCountryPiker]

I did say that 😂😂 I wasn’t paying enough attention and as it thrashed my thumb got caught and bled all over the place.

[@LoDStaR]

What flies you using ???

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Hi Adrian, the jigfly I’m using here was made by a chap called Ian Clarke. You can find him on Facebook, he’s not always making to sell but always good to know as he’s Jigflies are great.

[@namdamituplay7338]

Nice video mate! What type of material is used for that fly? Thanks!

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Hiya, unfortunately I’m not sure, lots of flash and very slim tinsel

[@FishWithBish]

He's back

[@BlackCountryPiker]

I know right? It’s been ages 😂😂 hope your well mate

[@happytank4336]

Been fishing on river avon today around Evesham, had no luck at all.. walked around 5miles. What lures are you using?

[@BlackCountryPiker]

When I popped over I had my squirreley Burt getting interest and two different Jigflies
