STICK FLOAT ON THE RIVER - Stoke Ferry - Cormorants - Roach Fishing - River Trent

This week we visit the famous River Trent Stoke Ferry Road Stretch for a mornings stick float fishing in the superb outfall swim only to have to share the fishing with four Cormorant's who are experts at 'bagging' up. I hope this film gets people talking about the Cormorant fish damage issue and how to manage them via the Governments website, follow the file paths/links to understand the existing rules.

good fishing some nice fish as for the cormorants i have a few ideas but can not say in comments

[@davetaylor8858]

I remember an article in the Angler's Mail many years ago by Tom somebody who managed a trout lake. In one tongue in check article he was talking about a new shotgun he'd just bought and how it kept going off indiscriminately. The article had a photo of about a dozen cormorants laid out in a nice neat row.

Cheers mate beautiful stuff defo give this a watch. The Trent and Soar are rivers I have been brought up on love em both. 🎣🎣💪🏻👍🏻😀

[@steveellerby6986]

Bloody conservationists haven't got a clue , protection for mink otter and cormorant but not for our rivers and fisheries. Love the trent and that's a nice spot 👌

[@steventizzard5754]

Great video mate fished that place many times ..... its a shame you can't go above anymore .... bloody barble society lol .. but great video

[@williamboulby1461]

The Cormorants have been there for years now, they made a big difference when they first arrived, but having watched your video, there doesn't seem to be a great shortage of fish there. Annoying for anglers if they work your swim, but overall affect on population seems to be minimal

[@Keithy-Keith]

Nice vid. Would having a feeder rod set up just to cast at the cormorants work?

[@davidbowering5964]

Great videos you are producing. Question: How often and what quantity of hemp do you feed?

[@garybrooks541]

You ever fished for Barbel and Chub there.. Looks fast flowing?

[@davidbowering5964]

I should have been more patient! Question answered.

[@martynwwheal6230]

do you fish tares in ponds and lakes like we use to back in the b4 pellets came into the sport.

[@chriscarr9171]

Same at Attenborough Nature Reserve. They never consider the fish population at all.

[@stevebrand1619]

Where you catching off the bottom on the tares? fished that peg many years ago It was often difficult to get on the pegs below the outfall It was so popular back then,bet its not fished as much these days.

[@kingfisher4456]

Any pike? Stuffed with them in that peg 🤦‍♂️
