Remembering my mate Keith - Stick float Fishing on the River Medway

Over the years we meet and share great memories by the waters edge with our fishing buddies. In the blink of an eye it can all change and losing a good friend is hard to take but the memories shared will never go away.
On a recent emotional morning session stick float fishing on my local river Medway in Kent I pay my respects to Keith Snelgrove, a friend who has appeared in a few of my fishing videos and as recent as February this year when we fished Hordle Lakes in Hampshire with Rhu. Keith fell ill in April and within two months passed away in his sleep, all of his friends around the World are devastated. There is some film footage in this film that I have never shared before until now.

Absolutely Nobby and thank you for your comments, was a tough film to make but one I had to do for Keith, bless him.

My god this was pertinent to me. My father in law was called Keith and even looked a bit like your Keith here. He was an avid course fisherman who loved a competition. Almost all of my fishing knowledge came from him and I always remember his patience and skill whenever I get a chance to go fishing. Cheers and thanks for this great little vid.

Sorry for the loss of your friend Keith. Really enjoy the videos, living in same area I have fished a number of the waters you have featured, a great watch.

[@fishingtailfilms]

@@robchannon6211 Thank you Rob for your kind comments about my mate Keith. Great to hear that you enjoy the videos as I have many more films to make over the coming weeks and months. Russ 🐟🎣👍

[@timmarshall7903]

Thanks for this, Russ. Loved my stick float fishing (Kent Stour). Sorry to hear of your loss….. know well that we all have a time when our fishing and time here has to end.

[@fishingtailfilms]

Thanks Tim, a beautiful way of fishing is using the stick especially when it buries out of sight. I used to fish matches at Plucks Gutter on the stick for quality roach and what great days they were. You are right sadly there is a final days fishing for us all at some point so making the most of the time we have is a must. Keith was taken from us so quickly in a matter of weeks which is very hard to take in and he will be missed big time.

[@timmarshall7903]

⁠@@fishingtailfilmsKeep bringing us your lovely films please, when you can. It provides some of us a lot of peace..

[@fishingtailfilms]

@@timmarshall7903 Thanks Tim, I certainly will and have many planned 👍🎣
