Hello from South Dakota, USA. I love the nature you show, the drone shots and all of it. Really some beautiful country you share with the world, so thank you!
@@adventurefishinguk it occurred to me you could get a beautiful aquarium going with those tiny trout and perch. Also you could replace them as they grow too big, not to sure about eating them though. AND releasing them in anything other than running water might not be a good idea, Perhaps you know what's best for them?
I love your videos and you attitude toward fishing - I don't get to get out much any more with a new-born and a fulltime job, but you make me want to go and stay in touch with the hobby. Your a credit to the community and i hope you keep making video's and more importantly enjoying your fishing!
Nice work again, that's a lovely river you've found. Also nice to see on Sunday morning. The last fish was definitely a brownie, it had red spots, which salmon don't.
They almost look like American Dolly Varden or Brook trout but I guess they are a small Brown. Beautiful either way even if they're small. You took us on a nice little creek hopping adventure Thanks👍👍
You still fished downstream, walk up the stream, then on way back hit those fast water pools for a second chance. The fish can see you the way you’re approaching. Good luck Mate!
Really enjoyed that George. Lovely little bit of water. Bargain for a tenner. Mellow background music and even a new shorty summer haircut . Trout sit and wait for food to float downstream so if you fish upstream...certainly when fly fishing they have much less chance to see you and tve food is presented more naturally . Ive caught fishing down and up tho
Thanks a lot for watching mate really glad you enjoyed the video! Really cool spot isn’t it 👍 and yes I recently had my annual hair cut 😂 will be back to cave man status before too long haha
Looks a lovely place to fish. Some beautiful fish you had there the colour of the adipose fin on some of the trout was stunning. Tight lines for the next trip. 😊
Those are BROWN TROUT. Brook Trout have blue halos around smaller red dots while the Brown Trout have bigger BLACK dots. The lower fins on a Brookie are VERY pronounced (white). The whole color scheme is different as well: Brown Trout are dark spots on LIGHTER skin and Brook Trout have yellow spots on DARKER skin.
I agree with you there. I live 30m north of Pittsburgh, and the heat has been ridiculous. Some days were only a few degrees from hitting 100F. Not used to heat like this. I'll be happy when it gets milder again after a few years.
@@braddofner I love when people pretend it doesn’t get hot. Live in Hersey Pa. the past 42 years. It hasn’t been any hotter or cooler than usual. I know the “meteorologists” have moved their thermometers into parking lots and other heat traps to skew the data upwards, but the reality is that it’s not any hotter than average.
This reminds me I used to freeline Lobworms sometimes a split shot or two added, fishing through such water in Northumberland, and I’ve had 4lb brownies appear from nowhere. Just drifting runs and tiny twitches did the job, it was a deadly method. You should try it as an experiment to see what’s hiding in there. If you can break yourself away from the lure of course.
Awesome session George. I caught my PB brown on a stream in Kent a few weeks ago - 48cm in a weir pool on a stream that is no more than 12 foot at its widest.
That second fish you hooked was a bottom fish, they are sóoo big 😁 I like your rod and reel set-up, ideal for what you're doing. You should try fishing up on the West Coast of Scotland's Outer Hebrides.
We used to fish a smaller stream than that, in places you could step over it, this was in Sussex and we had wild trout to over a pound, then they went and built Crawley new town and the M23 on it. Now live on Suffolk/Norfolk border, OK rivers but too many commercial carp lakes.
Gday mate . Dave from Australia here . Good to see what the fishing is like in the UK . I lure fish here in both salt and fresh water . Good to see the differences . 👍✔🎣
Another one for you to try George is the stream and River Dee at Hen Dwr caravan and camping site in North Wales the land owners (Hughes family) I’m sure would agree
One of those tiny streams that run down the side of counter lanes. Generally not much deeper than knees. But some bits waist deep. Fishing just 12 hook and earthworm over the little Step. Bamm the biggest trout I’ve ever caught . Probs 8lb 9lb. No playing it just whipped it out on the road. . I felt bad because it injured its self flopping about on the tarmac anyways didn’t go to waste. Descaled Filled with Mushooms garlic parsley Bit of a ginger. . Was a feast to feed4 people. Probably that old trout was there for years. Eatng frogs ducklings. It was a monster. And tasty.
nowthen buddy. hope ya ok and the family is all good ….. cracking little spot and some nice fish …. ya can’t beat a little tug down the river can ya 😁👍😳🤣……. some amazing makings on them trout !!! well done my lad and all the best 👍👍👍 p.s did you get a macky-D’s on the way home with ya tenner 🤣🤣🎣🎣🍔🍔
Thanks for watching mate! A tug down by the river 😂 and funnily enough I couldn’t find the farmer like I’d hoped this time. I’ll have to roll it over for the next one!
@@adventurefishinguk you are an honest man George. Always the best way to be my friend. Keep in the good books! Looking forward to our next adventure, my buddy. 🎣🎣👍😁
He didn’t want anything, but I always pay my dues! I didn’t actually see him this time like I hoped, I’ll have to roll it over for the next time 👍 thanks for watching!
What a lovely little stream to fish. You didn't seem to follow the "fish upstream" advice too closely though . The reason it's often more successful is that trout most of the time will face upstream especially if there's a hatch of flies on . Casting from behind them ,if you're not too close , will mean that you are practically in their blind spot. Do give it a try.
Definitely walk upstream so you'll be less likely to spook trout that are holding in areas of current. But also cast up stream, not down steam as you keep doing as it's not a natural presentation, the trout expect prey to be flowing down towards them to pick off on the way past. That stream reminds me of the section of river my family owns in Scotland just down from a rather famous Spey area distillery, that isn't fished either.Similar sized little browns with the odd 750g specimen. My farm's small river in the Tablelands of NSW produces much larger trout overall, all averaging 750g-3kg and occasionally larger again.
you should try some 1 or 2in insect imitations or even Japanese ajing lures (if you can find them) we use them in Australia, they are very versatile but perfect for these tiny streams. i personally like to use magbite vacuum ring ajing worms, the trout and perch just cannot resist them
Another video of this stream, what a great place. That crayfish looks like a native one but being dead it's difficult to tell as the colours are so washed out. You weren't following the advice of fishing upstream, it's definitely the most productive method. Try fly-fishing for a change rather than just chucking out a lure.
@@derekgraziano9499mate it costs a thousand pound return for your flight and then pay for your accom and fishin, weve had things tight in the uk past few years

Love the vids. But saying that water may not have been fished before followed up by saying you fished it before.. plus another fishing the same day you're there is somewhat a contradiction. All the same though love the chilled vibe.❤
I understand what you are saying, I think George sometimes gets caught up in the excitement of the moment and talks a little bit of gobbledygook however I do like the content. I live in Norfolk so there's not much in the way of fast flowing streams or mountain tarns etc so I live vicariously through vids like this. Great stuff, thanks George, do well. 👍
I'd bet there are NO fishy streams in the country that have only had 2 anglers on them before! Waters like this will have had loads of folk on them over the years, legit or not.
Thanks for watching mate! I think either you may have misunderstood or I may have mis phrased what I was trying to say. I meant there was only one other person Im aware of that has ever fished there full stop! Not that day, possibly not even that year. I’d only fished it once before about 6 weeks ago. Glad you liked the video!
ive got a tiny river near me that nobody fishes except me i could send you where it is but it quite far a cople decent trout in there had one just over a foot a couple weeks ago
Great video. I have a question about rods, I know you use the fish rig 180 a lot, have you ever used the fish rig max? I can't seem to find anything about it anywhere.
Most likely an invasive signal crayfish, can get big, 15cm+ real pain as mot many of our fish can eat them and they eat everything, including fish spawn. Luckily the comeback of otters is helping in many rivers, they get them down in number relatively quickly compared to human methods
Unfortunately, I don't think it's a native but i could be wrong. I'm definitely no expert. Why I think it is a couple of things. Although washed out of colour since it died, it does look like the underside of the claws were red, which is the signal giveaway. The claws also look quite big in relation to the body size. Our natives have longer thinner claws, quite dianty looking compared to a signal. These look shorter, more rounded, and stronger than a white clawed. I would really love to be wrong tho, be gutting to know they've even reached remote areas
@danhall3200, I think that it's a native one. Definitely doesn't look like signal one, no red claws. It's difficult to be sure because the colours are washed out.
@tonycamplin8607 I hope you're correct and I'm wrong, I'm not 100% either way. It looked to me as though the claws were red when it was alive, just wahsed out, and its proportions seem too bulky for a white clawed. it's very hard to tell with washed-out colours and from only underneath.
Nice video and good place to explore. Just ordered a fishrig180 actually for trout and perch etc going to be using it with some light braid to fluerocarbon on, how do you usually attach your leader to the braid ? Any particular knot or a tiny swivel ? I tried fishing upstream the other day with some mepps spinners and did quite well to be fair. However I am no expert I just enjoy being out fishing. I find I usually catch trout in fast shallow runs with my spinner. I used a blue fox single hook spinner which was great but definitely not as good as a treble for hooking up but I liked how easy unhooking the fish was. I also bought a salmo sinking minnow and floating bullhead the other day. I fished downstream in some deep slack waters on my local river which I’m a member of the club but I blanked. Have you got any advice ? I want to fish more rivers too. Don’t get me wrong the Calder that I fish is nice but I want to explore more rivers. I am going to join another club I think. How do you go about finding out whether a stretch of river is okay to fish or not ? The last thing I wanna do is get my tackle confiscated. I know a few day ticket waters near me but it’s a big wide river the ribble but I want to fish more streams like this video. Thanks mate
Were North American Brook Trout (brookies) introduced over there? I think they were. Have you ever caught any? They are very similar to your native char (technically they are char).
😂 well you mainly only see the casts that result in fish, so maybe casting downstream is better! Many pools only accessible from the top on this one too 👍
@@adventurefishinguk yeah, thats why you never take advice from anybody that hasnt fished the same water, in the same conditions, and with the same gear. even then, its a 50/50 chance that theyve got it right. at best.
Great to see you catch but a word of warning to anyone spinning please check with the club / landowners first as this method is often regarded as a poacher tactic and having to explain to some large angry bailiff or club members what you are doing can land you in very hot water
Hello from South Dakota, USA. I love the nature you show, the drone shots and all of it. Really some beautiful country you share with the world, so thank you!

Another wicked little stream to fish. It's amazing how many trout there are. I'm guessing they end up moving on and getting bigger.

As usual, your videos are always interesting, catching wild fish. In 3 weeks time I'll be fishing for wild fish in Rep. of Ireland.
What a glorious stretch. You fish some great spots sonny jim
You still fished downstream, walk up the stream, then on way back hit those fast water pools for a second chance. The fish can see you the way you’re approaching. Good luck Mate!
The crayfish looks like the dead variety 😂
Haha it certainly does!

What a beautiful place George that I think was a native crawfish ❤
I hope it were a native and not a Signal.
Would that be edible?
Looks to me more like an invasive signal crayfish
Thanks mate, I think it was too. A white claw 👍
Very tasty those crayfish... Or yabbies if from Oz...more or less the same thing
This is the kind of fishing I love, forget that sitting on an overly stocked lake with overly stocked gear. Keep this going George 👌🏻

Have you got any advice ? I want to fish more rivers too. Don’t get me wrong the Calder that I fish is nice but I want to explore more rivers. I am going to join another club I think. How do you go about finding out whether a stretch of river is okay to fish or not ? The last thing I wanna do is get my tackle confiscated. I know a few day ticket waters near me but it’s a big wide river the ribble but I want to fish more streams like this video. Thanks mate
What sort of crayfish ? A dead one ! lol
I must be the only person to try and fish these small streams and fail to ever catch a fish… just catch lures on rocks due to it being shallow😂
dang, i would have panned for gold lol
Do you think there could be gold in a stream like this? Thanks for watching!
You asked what kind of a crayfish it was, well I would say its a dead crayfish lol😅
Could that spring have been recently restocked with juvenile trout?
great ....wats ur rod and reel ....
All the details are in the description below!
When will the RR3000 spinning reel be restocked?
Hopefully a couple of weeks mate!
@@adventurefishinguk Il be keeping an eye out, cheers for getting back bud. Keep up the good work
Freshwater crawfish
Thanks for watching!
What lure did you use in this video please George?
Were North American Brook Trout (brookies) introduced over there? I think they were. Have you ever caught any? They are very similar to your native char (technically they are char).
"I'm going to take your advice and fish upstream'
Spends whole day casting downstream.
😂 well you mainly only see the casts that result in fish, so maybe casting downstream is better! Many pools only accessible from the top on this one too 👍
@@adventurefishinguk yeah, thats why you never take advice from anybody that hasnt fished the same water, in the same conditions, and with the same gear. even then, its a 50/50 chance that theyve got it right. at best.
Great to see you catch but a word of warning to anyone spinning please check with the club / landowners first as this method is often regarded as a poacher tactic and having to explain to some large angry bailiff or club members what you are doing can land you in very hot water
Thanks for watching and for the information, better to be safe than sorry!
What lures are you using
10quids? that is dirt cheap, in my country ,sweden ,in the southernmost part you pay a lot more for a similair stream,brooklet a lot more
He didn’t actually want paying and was happy for me to fish but I always like to make a contribution! Thanks for watching 👍
I think that's a dead crayfish, hope that helped
Haha yes that does help! Thanks for watching 👍
What is your accent? My neighbour (here in Australia) has the same accent and I'm gonna use it as a conversation starter somehow
I would guess he's North West England.
I'm between Manchester and Preston and he wouldn't sound out of place around here.
I think he's said he's from Lancashire, which doesn't narrow it down much but it's the right region.
Lancastrian born and bred I think! I bet your mate is called Dave...😬
Lancaster born but Cumbria raised for the most part! Thanks for watching!
@adventurefishinguk hello fellow Cumbrian ✋️
