Love this stretch, been a fdas member for 2 years now and this is a gem of a water.

[@bobharbin842]

Churnet was reported to be the most polluted river in the country in the 60s. One of the rivers “murdered by man” as described by Arthur Ransome - Like my local R Irwell. Excellent to see - like the Irwell - it has improved so much. Great video guys!

[@woodshedder8230]

That’s brought it all back home, thank you so much! When I was a lad learnt I how to fish on the chutnet and soon got into catching Grayling, used to get brandling worms from my friends mum’s compost heap and cycle down to Bolton’s sports field in Oakamoor, just upstream, rod tied to bike frame. Caught some good perch there too. Some folks used to catch some cracking winter roach above the big weir. Got back into fishing years later as an adult now living in North Yorkshire and of course I’ve found myself chasing the ladies again on the river Rye and cod beck, using both trotting and nymphing. So thanks again, and I’m tempted to get that apron. Top fellas.

Des, the legend that is...

[@margysan]

Wonderful video reminded me of being 12 years old fishing the Rea brook and River Roden near Shrewsbury with my brother.

[@margysan]

Back in the late 70s early 80s the rivers i mentioned in last comment had very few Grayling but now with the improvement in water quality especially on the Rea brook the Grayling have thrived.

Another great video from Chappie and the Cadence team. Well done James and Des 👍🦆🎣 Tight Lines Steve Amison

[@waynenippard5933]

Nice to see Des using an old DAM CFM closed faced reel. Nicknamed ‘coffee grinders’ these were excellent reels and, imo, one of the best and most underrated closed faced reels ever produced.

[@CadenceFishingUK]

He made us all cups of coffee with it later😂

Another cracking film, Roving for the lady is my favorite style of fishing other than chub. A couple pints of maggots, one rod, landing net, no seat box, keep net your in heaven cr10 2# 13' with fixed spool or my 14' 2# with my Atom pin.

[@bringonunited2741]

Went and caught my first grayling on the Welsh dee the other week. Throughly enjoyed it. Good inspiration and learning the river

[@Andrewausfa]

Grayling, the only coarse fish I've not caught, I don't think there are any in East Anglia! Super video, love the small stream fishing.

[@cosso114]

I caught a grayling on the wensum at ringland but it was 1968.don’t suppose there’s any there now

[@Andrewausfa]

@@cosso114 Nope! I know they used to catch them around the Fakenham area in the Sixties but I think they were introduced in Victorian times in the first place rather than historically there?? Love to see the EA restock them but highly unlikely.

[@paulnevins5936]

Actually the grayling is a game fish - it has an adipose fin.

[@Andrewausfa]

@@paulnevins5936 Yeah I knew that really I still havent caught one!

[@alanbrown1650]

Well Mr Chappie with thanks to you, James, Paul and the rest of the Cadance crew this has become my favourite KZbin channel. The quality as always is First Class, the only thing missing was Monty!! Big congrats to you James on your recent Big win. Very impressive, it must have been quite tiring netting that number of Fish. Well done. Kind regards. Alan.

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Monty decided to go Saturday shopping with his mum😁👍thanks for the kind words Alan

[@jasonridyardhome]

Superb vid guys. Funny how your conclusions are the same as we have on the Wharfe, Aire, Calder, Nidd in Yorkshire ... Feed maggots and get trout, Catch one or two grayling and then move on...Fish the creases, drop offs etc. thanks for sharing, it was a really good watch.

[@CadenceFishingUK]

great minds think alike

[@johnisherwood4030]

James and Des - what a combo

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Yer not wrong 😂😂

[@166Chatty]

Grayling, one of the few fish that can be relied on to feed in cold conditions. I loved fishing for them ‘darn sarf’ on the river Itchin and the Frome. Great video again guys.

[@MrDavidhgreatbatch]

That's What I Call Proper Fishing

[@edwardcookson4085]

Great winter sport, luckily blessed with plenty of grayling fishing in Yorkshire. Another interesting vid cheers to the both of you.

[@robertmoore2402]

That sums up fishing for me , thank you

[@nolanpeter2748]

That a great river another enjoyable video.

[@garynicholson2855]

Very enjoyable 👍

[@eleveneleven572]

Takes me back to a day on the Lugg late 60's as a kid. Caught a load of them in a big eddy just below a bridge on maggot, all BIG fish. Never had a day like that before or since with Grayling for size or number

[@jimglendenning6281]

Another great video James,and the bonus Or Des Taylor. Used to fish alot for grayling in North Wales never caught many big fish but always had a few.wonderful fish full of fight and one of the must beautiful.

[@neilwayte517]

A great little video on whats has to be the best type of fishing.Unfortunatley I,m unable to walk far these days so my fishing is more static.Well done on producing a bait apron something that seems to be missing from the shops these days.Another plus is that if it fits a fat bloke like Des then it will fit a fat bloke like myself. Keep themcoming James for us to watch.

[@CadenceFishingUK]

We just about squeezed Dez into it. Beached whale size xxxxxl😁😁

[@iannicholls9140]

Subscribed Ian Nicholls great partnership Des Taylor one of the nicest Anglers ever well done on a great video

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Cheers Ian. Thanks for subbing.

[@jeffrhodes2730]

Nice video, that's one of my local stretches, I know it well! The 11' CR10 #1 looks just the job for there, although reel-wise I prefer a centrepin. And for fly fishing, an 8' 4wt. I use a CR10 14" #2 model for trotting on the Dove for the grayling and chub, nice rods and a great range to choose from. Those bait aprons look good too, better than the simple bait pouch I use 🙂

[@jackmilligan2306]

Try the upper don that was heavily polluted

[@MARCLEEMATCHFISHING]

this is my local river in leek!

[@stevenfahey2267]

Any idea when the aprons back in stock please? 👍

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Hi, best thing to advise you is to just pop your name on the list. As soon as they are in stock we will fulfil the outstanding orders until stocks run out again. Precisely when is hard to say, sorry. They are handmade and the company is working flat out to keep up with demand at present for all the luggage. Good product? We think it's worth waiting for if you can. Many thanks.

[@stevenfahey2267]

@@CadenceFishingUK thanks very much appreciate the swift response, I’ve put myself on the waiting list 👍
