Many thanks, sir! These are grayling, however, not trout. For that pleasure we have to wait a few weeks here in UK 😂 👍

Thanks for a very complimentary comment, my friend! I'm lucky to have that place so close to my home! Tight lines! 😊👍👍

Won't be long now, days are slowly lengthening! 👍

Yes! I may have been foolish to go out for grayling yesterday in 2 degrees, but the beautiful river Calder graced me with a couple of hard fighting grayling reinforcing my confidence in a couple of recently discovered swims! At least there's a bit more daylight now! 😊👍

Just 5 months! Tbh I enjoy the continuous change of venues, species, tackle, methods, and even clothing layering through the year! Gotta make the most of chub, grayling, pike dace and of course Roach before mid March. 👍

Very soon, mate, hopefully today! 😊👍

Hi Davie, look forward to seeing that next spring! on small stream, it's best at dusk and dawn (or in the dark!) If the waters clear. Best of all with some colour and heavier water. Its very hard work, as on wee rivers, you're fishing upstream and stripping back faster than the current. On one of those clips, my pal was watching, and I made contact with one of about 2lb. I knew he was in there because I caught him on a spinner in flood conditions 3 years ago. There's a deep hole on the far side of the current (6ft), and I think he sits in there, probably living mostly on smaller trout and perch fry 😊👍

Yes! I've loads of 'em ! All you need, really, usually come with a line, too (tackle fairs and jumble sales) which may or may not be any good 😂👍

You got that right, my friend! Waiting for the right weather, water level, not too cold or hot, moderate tide, not neep or spring etc etc and months whizz by 😂👍

Yes! It was my late dad's! I bought it for him in the 1980s as a birthday present. After he died, I inherited it. It's had rings re whipped and 2 weeks ago I broke the tip, but it seems fine with the repair! 😊 This type of "match" rod is a rare beast these days unless you're happy to pay big bucks

I'm in a fairly urban area myself, but that river is just on the edge of town running through a green corridor! That's why there's often a background of traffic noise on my vids! But there's only a few pools hold coarse fish. It's very fast flowing and best suited as a trout stream. I suspect the roach and perch come into the river as eggs or ova via the canal overflow. Strangely the lower reaches where it's deeper and slower are very disappointing for coarse fish! 👍

@@soultrader57fishingandmusi25 It's the other way round here, with trout getting into the canal. One or two have gone double figures. I got smashed up by a big one after playing it for ages a few years back. Nobody targets them as far as I know, it's needle in a haystack business. You'd have to have spinning tackle to be in with a shout.

Great minds ! 😂

OK sesh! Favourite bit was getting the feeling back into my feet! 😂

Not been in a library for some time! I like the old school writers though, painting pictures with words! 😊

Wow! That's impressive! I loved those books, but never seemed to enjoy quite the same success as Mr Crabtree! I loved the Jack Hargreaves "out of town" too

Super video once again Dave! Tempted to brave the cold myself now for a few casts.

Same to you, thanks ever so, Gaz! Getting very crowded in the fishing utube scene now, so next year will see a slightly different direction, more instruction and education, and maybe more music items! Or even a dedicated music channel?? All great fun 😁 good luck 👍👍👍

@@soultrader57fishingandmusi25 Sounds Good Brother, will look forward to the new Direction..Good luck for the New Year My Friend..Hope it goes well for ya...

That's got to be my top comment this year! Exactly what I've been trying to achieve! There's old and disabled folks who just can't get out anymore, and the next best thing for them is watching angling on utube! Makes it worth the effort! All the best and thanks again 😊😊

Thanks fella! Greatly appreciated! Good luck with your channel and all the best 😊

Cheers, Colin! All the best, and hoping you're happy in the new place, mate!😊

Wow, thanks, Joel! Where should I leave the £50? 😂 Doing my best, but there's still a big hole in the utube menu while Albion Angling are on a pilot light!😂 hope to get out soon with you, my friend! Look after that family! 👍👍👍

Cheers, Davie! Likewise looking forward to seeing the Lothrie burn again! Feel like I know those pools well! 😂 yes, Chris is good and is also something of a dry fly obsessive. I talked him into doing some fishing in Devon, but I'm not certain he filmed it. Soon be meeting up with another trout season! 😊 👍

@soultrader57fishingandmusi25 The Wonderful Lothrie, pining for it! A song perhaps?😎 Google maps has brought more burns to my attention, can't wait

Thanks, Christian! I've found a new coarse fish pool on our local river today, some nice roach and perch there. Chat soon, all the best! 😊

@soultrader57fishingandmusi25 nice one excited to here about it.

Don't mention it! My pleasure dear chap! Hopefully more to come as I'm working less next year. 😊

Cheers, fella! Tough to get a wobble on the line now it's colder! All the best 😊

Thanks mate, all the best 👍 😊

Much appreciated, Peter! Not unlike your river Blackwater??👍

Thanks, Michael! Yes, all good! Hope alls well with you too! 👍

Cheers Karl! I ought to use that one a bit more often, reckon it would be OK for dropshot too 👍👍

@ - use mine a lot down in Brixham when we visit friends, LRF & dropshot for mini’s along the breakwater then getting mugged off by big wrasse 😂 You’ve got to give it a go.

Glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully more little quaint spots to come ! 👍

Yes! Thanks, a great pleasure. few and far between where perch are found on here, one day I might do a roving winter perch one including under the bridges on the canal. It would suit roving on a pushbike over several miles of watercourse 👍👍

Yes, no reason why that wouldn't work? Tbh that rod was very cheap from a used tackle fair, I've an idea it may be a Liddle one 😂! It's 10ft with 2 tops, a float one and quiver with interchangeable tips. I bought it for thr very rare occasions that I might be fishing with small feeders or bombs. But really prefer the centre pin when given the choice 👍

@@soultrader57fishingandmusi25 Good stuff. Lidl for the win!

Yes, thanks Chris! I've ruled out 99% of my local river in winter as it's depressing finding a succession of lean, OSS trout in every pool you try. Calder and lower ribble seem more grayling baised. Hopefully more time next year will be spent to explore them! There's a soul trader 57 Facebook page and David Procter, take your pick! I keep saying I'll put blogs out on the St. one, but I've only got around to doing 1 😂 I'd suggest investing in a centrepin for trotting though, much more satisfying than using a fixed spool reel. Chub and roach in some of those SW rivers too ? Exe, Culm etc??

@soultrader57fishingandmusi25 yes Chub and Dace/Roach in the Exe and Culm system (Chub are not native to the SW and were introduced years ago, not to everybody's liking I must admit). Our problem is any drop of rain and the rivers colour up. I suppose you could still target Chub, which bait would you try in dirty water? Luncheon meat?

Thanks Nicholas much appreciated 👍

Thanks, Christian! Good luck with that, my man!😊

yes! strangely addictive! though I think normally I'd appreciate some P n Q 👍👍

Hopefully mate! we need new anglers coming through, or the sport will collapse eventually! 👍👍

Yes sir! I surprised myself here! I don't think it bothers the fish at all, especially in coloured water like this. Regent's canal must be rammed with traffic!! 🤣👍👍

thankyou so much! still editing the "big" version of this, Roach in Stillwater through Autumn!👍👍 take care!
