This Wild Forgotten River Is Stacked With Big Fish! (BFS)

This session I went exploring a new wild river in search of some chub! The method of choice was BFS one of the most enjoyable forms of lure fishing. Using a mix of soft plastic and spinner baits I made the most of every swim and caught some amazing fish.

I have a stream half that size, 5 min walk from the house. Hardly anyone fishes it, but quite regularly get 10+ chub and perch per hour, similar to these out of it. Simple Fun Fishing!

Where you live bruv ?😂

lucky😢

[@Zero96]

Exactly same where I live, which isn't to far from where ginge fishes.

[@bumblebeeman1978]

You crack me up Chris with all your landing net losses 😂

[@Nitecrow314]

Got to admire your casting accuracy dude! Also had a drink every time you described your lure. Well pished! 😂

[@martinrejzek7674]

Hi Chris, by now I watched almost all your videos and I thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them. I was particularly intrigued by your micro jigging of small rivers. I absolutely love it! I got myself the required kit and today I caught no end of Perch and some Chub from my “local” river. Thanks for the great inspiration!

[@christopherhindle1174]

Nice to know there are still little rivers like this to be fished in a natural way, unlike the commercials that are everywhere, making people think carp fishing therein is the only fishing available.

[@leftmono1016]

Whenever I tell anyone I’m going fishing, I stress that it’s active, not sit down fishing at a lake stocked with fish!

[@christopherhindle1174]

Good for you!@@leftmono1016

[@weeeeee374]

I carp fish mainly, but I also pike and perch fishing, too. Not too bothered about smelly bream. Ive also just been given a fly rod, so im excited to try learn that too. I don't like that whole pole/match fishing nonsense. Mainly because they are moody and up their own arse half the time. I'm off to France on the 18th, and as a carp fisherman, you'd expect me to be going a lake full of 50s...but I'm actually going on the river in search of catfish! I've never tried for them here in the uk, but I think a river catfish could be cool if I can pull it off 😆

[@christopherhindle1174]

Good luck with the catfish (Silure!) I actually live in France now, but as a youth 60 years ago used to fish the upper reaches of the River Cam above Cambridge, totally unspoilt and full or good Roach, Chub, Pike, Trout etc. Then it was ruined by dredging supposedly to prevent flooding! I have caught Silure in part of the Rhone up to 80kilos, 2.4 metres long, I had to jump in to land it! @@weeeeee374

[@leftmono1016]

@@weeeeee374 - I’ve got family in France, my niece’s boyfriend caught a huge catfish from the Loire recently. Assuming we got the translation right, he was using live bait. Tight lines 😀👍

I’m watching this on my lunch break at work, going fishing this evening and this has put me right in the mood!! I’ve been dropping in on your videos every now and then for a while now and they’re always top class!

Your enthusiasm and excitement is brilliant Chris as always Great video

I just caught my first pike a few days ago. I fished for carp a while now, but on sunday i caught my first pike! Great Video as always

[@trevorcornes1056]

Beautiful river you have there Chris and loads of wonderful fish . Love it 👍

Another belting session chris! I love there’s still hidden waters to found and with some great catches

[@TheMasteryoda87]

Amazing video, as always a pleasure to watch.

[@LG_Fishing]

Lovely river, cracking session. Those are some fantastic chub. Love that little hybrid bait. What a rescue from that shnag.

[@neilbuckard723]

Top session chris a pleasure to watch

[@PoetofHateSpeech]

There's a guy here in Australia that catches carp with lures. Yes carp unfortunately had been released in Australia 200 years ago. He uses lots of the willow blades on soft plastics. His channel is Windsor bait and tackle

[@needham831]

What a fantastic session Chris. Beautiful fish from a completely wild ,neglected stream. And good fishing on your part too with your hybrid bait. It did the business. That's what separates good fishermen from great ones. Always thinking about improving your chance of catching fish.☺👍

[@raygrange7312]

Great stuff Chris. Those fish have never been caught. What a place.

[@keithleivers4061]

Small is beautiful water comes in different sizes and you prove fish will live in the medium quite happily adventure is the mother of invention .

[@neilsmith7547]

Great angling mucka. What incredible fishing in 1ft of water. Unreal. 😊

[@leftmono1016]

I never used to bother with shallow water until watching Chris in action! Always worth a try.

[@russ8544]

Keep it up buddy, infectious streams mate, full of action pal

Hi,I left the comment on some of your video,I'm not sure if you see it, but I'm super happy that you trying to fishing in wild river and I can see that you are super enjoying, I told you leaf Park fishis in place 😀 .very nice video.

[@GeneralJoe123]

AWSOME !! 🖐

[@Deekm69]

Yet another amazing video, I wish we had river's like that in Scotland

[@TheHunsAreDugShite]

We do mate... River Clyde (Midclyde) and I'm constantly catching Sea Trout, Brown Trout, Perch, Grayling, Roach, Dace, Flounders and more... My wee 10 yr old girl got a 2.5Ib Broonie on Saturday evening out Clyde on maggots: 2x maggots + 1x rubber maggot just to prop 6-8 inches off bottom = BOOM!!

[@chrisclark4112]

I thought Scotland would be better for fishing in the rivers ?

[@chopperhehehe]

What days fishing cracking episode 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦕🦄😁🤞✌️

[@ianbourne9970]

Awesome 👌

[@g40will]

You need to put AirTags in all your nets Chris😂

[@danbryant3637]

That looks very familiar, if it's where I think, it holds barbel in the summer months also 😊

[@isaacbell.]

Cracking vid and fishing!, 100% trying the killer diller thriller rig in my next session😂

[@nickname123321]

This river would be perfect to use those 4-5ft

[@CKnatt]

I bet a hellgrammite would crack ‘em as well! Love the crafty baits the best though! 😊✌️

[@new-beginnings-fishing]

The river Trent isn't that fare from where you are dunnum bridge..just out of Redford and elksley...it would be a great video to watch you catch big chub out of there..Tight lines

[@andrewwilson7285]

Mate, brilliant vid as always. Quick question. I do a lot of spinning etc. Do you always fish upstream? If so, I guess you have to retrieve fast to keep the blade going?

[@pikeguy1639]

I love your content ❤

Good old session that was

[@brummiedoug1]

Hi Chris .love watching all you vids and have learnt a lot from you .can you answer a question for me please.how long can you safely keep a river or canal fish out of the water ,you see some folks that seem to keep them out for ages and I feel for the poor fish,s health .thanks mate keep filming 😊

[@tadhghayden8440]

Great exploration! Your net is lost in deepest Amazon...

[@johnrickards1908]

Cracking video Chris, as always. I live on the lower river Rhine; trust me mate, what you were fishing there was a stream, just.😂

[@billpaynter5141]

Here in NZ perch love anything with a blade. My biggest many years back now 6lb. It was a beer keg.

[@alanjcumminscummo135]

Chris you some man for the fishing, I've been watching you since May 2023, I think I've watched about 50 videos and you are great at what you do, Quick question why does England have Chubb and Ireland doesn't are chubb native to England only ? And thanks watch your videos made me get ultra light 2gram to 8 and then 10gram to 25gram, targeting perch and jack pike. Best video when you fall and thought you lost your glasses 😭🤓👊

[@rsturb01984]

Ireland must have chubb surely?

[@alanjcumminscummo135]

@@rsturb01984 no pal, England has about 5 more fresh water species, dace, Chubb and the other big fish Chris catches like cat fish mouths barbels I think we don't have them. I've asked my local group and their is dace in one river of the Shannon but very hard to catch sorry there is dace however very rare, are them species I've named native to England?

[@nickpenfold2829]

Nice video whenever I catch Chubb I nearly always catch barbel too shame none there looks perfect for them

[@stephenhourd4653]

Hello Chris, how many rods and reels do you own? Cheers!

[@bogcapspinningchannel3108]

Hello, nice fishing session! fantastic rivers you have there! Tell me, please, the settings you use to cast under hand, thank you!

[@stevefleming7274]

River looks in great condition, unlike most of those in the Thames Water area. Walked part of the River Kennet today , near Marsh Benham looks dead it’s a bloody disgrace. Which water company area you in? Love the videos , keep em coming.

Hey Chris what front mount bag do you use am after one myself thanks 👍

How do you manage to find all these small rivers? Cracking video mate.

[@Pimpirim1]

Hey, where you originated in UK? I am looking foward to start fishing in rivers, but cant seem to find where.. Thanks alot for the content, love it!

[@petermason4228]

Chris How do u check whether these waters are fishable or do u just test Ur luck until someone tells you different? Ur casting accuracy is off the scale 👏 loving the content keep it up 👍

[@hejfjajjan6245]

Dont know how it is in the uk or where you live but where i live in Sweden there is a website where you can search alot of stuff and one of the things is all lakes in the comunity with depth all species plants and fish sometimes if a rare insect but some lakes they dont put in but have almost always catch something

[@Cavanpikefishing]

Great video Chris ,set your self a challenge go catch some sea mullet? I here there hard got?

[@simonronnerdag7716]

Hey! Whats the name of the bait casting reel youre using? :)

[@CrowWing-tc3dt]

Great video. Could you recommend a pair of polarised sunglasses for fishing? Whst do you wear? Not limited by price, just want a really good pair of sunglasses.

Love the channel great videos what is the name of the river regards Howard from Cyprus

[@simbobcrafts4843]

How do you tell the difference between a roach and a rudd?

[@lynnbudram7514]

I would love to go chubbing with Chris as I've had chub to 7lb 4oz, way back in 2003 on legered bread, also had pike to 23lb 12oz, so i would love to fish with him for pike aswell, Barry of Enfield

Not again chris😅😅how many nets you leave behind??🤣🤣🤣

What line do you use???????????? Great vid by the way what a lovely place

[@joncox4389]

Hi, can you add a link to the rod and reel setup please and if they do a rhw reel. Thanks Jon

[@sandervandersluis4501]

Why upstream instead of the other way around regarding throwing lure?

[@michaelsmith7193]

I would have guessed that stream to be brown trout water.

[@giorgiotatananni9652]

0:22 spider be like: "I got myself a big one today!". Quick question? With this set up, do you use fluoro leader or wire, just in case you get a pike?

[@jc-rw9hq]

what setup do you use?

[@baldvale5418]

You and your net's Chris, your murder ; )

[@ascott4606]

How do you know if an angling club has the rights to a stretch of river if it doesn't have signs or anything?

[@OneBanana1979]

What a fun way to fish. I'm looking to get some kit to start lure fishing on small rivers/streams but boy is it a minefield. The rod seems perfect to get me started but the reels are a little on the pricey side for me. Isn't that one about £400.00? I need a reel no more than £120.00 😞

[@kev9536]

Just started lure fishing myself and I’ve found EBay is an excellent place to pick up kit at a good price . I’ve spent less than £100 and I’m all set 👍🏻

[@EKdlwoasred]

Check out his other videos on bfs he first started with a combo reel and rod kit

[@leetori1]

Put your net on a waist rope or keyfob coil.

[@philiptheman892]

How do you always lose your net and put a hole in your waders? Also, great angling

What song is it? I liked it.

[@graemesmith3117]

How do you lose so many nets? You need them attached to you!
