I've been following your son for some time on his channel only recently I subscribed to your channel and what channel is it is it is absolutely fantastic.. it's just great to see an old style of fishing. A channel where you're not promoting somebody else's fishing equipment or at least two what I have seen thus far. Absolutely brilliant 10 out of 10.... Just old school type of fishing fishing fishing fishing.. I used to go fishing a lot in my younger days but unfortunately, I gave it up. Now I'm starting from scratch.. so you're teaching me a lot of what I have.. you sir have probably forgot more than I have learnt in my entire 48 years of life.. absolutely love watching your fish so relaxing so peaceful... I'm just not one for sponsors of fishing like most RUclipsrs are now with their high-tech equipment electrical depth finders.. that's not fishing... Fishing is sitting there as you do with a rod and reel and landing nets .. the best way to fish. Great super channel TA Fishing 🎣
Love watching those old JW rods in action, had one many moons ago, and regret passing it on to someone else. Great stuff, working my way through your old videos, always entertaining. Thanks.
The funny thing is I enjoy the “jobs around the house” segments you do more than the fishing videos most of the time lol Always enjoy watching the vids Graeme
Loved the old rods and reels you were using. Ancient but still work just fine. Exactly the type of gear I use. My favourite rod is an old 12ft Diawa match with bright orange whipping about 50 years old. Caught hundreds of fish on it over a lifetime.
And obviously still doing its job. I did get to use an Orvis flyrod and reel outfit on the River Test once and have to say it was really a pleasure...but did it catch me more trout ?..Answer is no,I caught them all on my old rod blanks,but can see it was comfortable to use. Obviously I won't be buying one but great to try out.
Love your videos and content, always enjoy pulling up a video from the channel, also gotta say i love the cook ups during the fishing videos also, watching from Florida. Thanks for all the great videos!
Its only a mish mash of stuff but as long it helps pass a bit of time for people in these weird,wacky,wokey times we are living in !!...I heard last week that if someone doesn't get offended by something ,then someone else can be offended on their behalf ???...What ??? Has the Human race gone completely doolally ?? Offended on someone else's behalf ?...
Perfect ??? You are too kind Sir...I can't do it all the time though,especially these put together types,but when I get in the mood its difficult to stop editing. I'm doing one in between checking comments here.
Hello mate, well you say about the rain, but many rivers around here are to clear at the moment, and I hear the hot erather is on the way back again, all the best, great video, as always.
At least you are in a caravan...only the rain drumming on a metal roof to keep you awake all night..Been there many times,and have to say the caravan is way better than the tent in those conditions.
Been watching you for years mate. I will in the nearest future travel to the UK (my mom used to live there) now she moved back to Denmark where we’re from. I would LOVE to spend a few hours with you at some lake with the flyrods! Hope your well! Cheers!
Hi Graeme, the larger winged ants are the queens, and the smaller ones are the males. They hatch from their nests with the wings and go out into nearby meadows, woodlands, etc to mate with ants from other colonies. Once mated, the males die and the queens wings fall off and they make their way back to the nest to lays eggs.
It is my go-to boilie for any session..the other flavours just get thrown in for freebies. I have fished PT alongside other flavours and for me anyway they outfish the other ones.
The Butterfly you asked about looks like a Silver Washed Fritillary to me-not rare but a nice one to spot, very large and strong flyers. I use the Seek app on my phone, seems quite good. I use it mainly for wild flowers as I'm hopeless at remembering the names of them.
Its a self-sharpening mechanism integrally fitted. You run the saw and apply the lever which has a sort of grinding plate .You should be able to see me clean the pad off the plate with a rag and bit of Turps in the film.
I've just had loads of flying ants in my garden recently I think the flying ones are actually the queen ants leaving to find another colony to start. Would be great to find out your secret catfish bait Graeme I have the TAfishing cap just need the bait now lol. Thanks for the videos have been watching for a couple of years now, always gets me through doing the dishes on a Wednesday and Friday. You remind me of my late grandad with all the plants, nature and home fixes for things. He always joked that he is probably to blame for laying half the asbestos in Lancashire as they didn't know any better back then.
That marina you visited. I'm gessing thats not the one you would launch your boat from. If it isn't a load of information on that place would be great as well location and prises to do your one aunch ect. Tight lines 🎣🎣🎣
Hi Graeme if I take pic on my iPhone of plants or bugs it will tell me what they are it says that butterfly is a silver washed fritillary don’t think it’s common here 👍🏼
The flying ants you see once a year are males and young queens. Each year, normally in July or August, huge numbers of flying ants suddenly appear. Queens can live for over 10 years and spend most of their lives in their nest. New queens, however, will leave to mate and found a colony of their own.
The only Zander fishery I used to visit has now been sold and closed ,but we don't eat them here anyway,they have to be returned. I have heard many times they are a great eating fish though by the countries that are allowed to keep them.
Im a subscriber to your channel, and watch every vid you make, i enjoy your gardening videos as i was a garden designer , you have a beutiful garden and a keen gardener you are, im disabled and no longer can work so watching you out and about makes my day, i used to match fish in my spare time, not much good but i enjoyed the challenge, anyway my friend you are a legend and a true gent, id love a mention on your show as a massive fan of totally awsome fishing, my name is mark bridges from gloucestershire, many thanks for all your content and the main thing is stay safe and well, oh and what is the rapter recepi or is it top secret,lol, regards, mark.
Hi Graeme, have you ever thought of making a new channel like mike has. You could even called it Life with Graeme for example. Would be great for your other content. Also a joint channel with Mike would be awesome.
Yeah I know its the norm to put up a 2nd YTouTube channel,but its all more hassle. I think people are now used to me putting up random stuff on a Wednesday, trouble is I am still doing lots of work so finding the time is also a problem.
What do i do wrong with my quiver tip rods? I normally use running ledger/clip bead on main line attached to lead, float stop then maybe a size 8 hook with two bits of sweetcorn with hook point showing but i just dont hook the fish rod bends right round then before i can pick it up its pinged back again. Tried using hair rigs but find it puts me in a bad mood faster pissing around with them and hate the idea of missing a nice roach because its eaten bait without hook.
I agree with your on the hair rig its a lot of fannying about. I think try altering the length between hook and stop. As an average I use mine about 12 inches long to start. Then lengthen or shorten if I am missing bites. The quivertip springing back smacks of overcasting your baited area and you are getting "line bites" where fish bump into the line ? Also maybe you have the tip sprung round to the weight too tight ? Try barely taking up the slack on the tip to your bait. Good luck with it.And of course if its Roach you are after don't be afraid to drop the hook and bait size. Say a size 14 hook.
@@TAFishing thanks Graham straight away you've got it, I had quite a wide scatter of corn and hot dogs (wind) and I was casting over it hoping that the bigger fish might be circling the outside so probably loads of line bites. Ive also been using a way shorter hook length I've been having it about 4 inches. Thanks again for tips will try all that out next time.
River Severn. Feeder. Cast to middle the river where flow is good..check with local tackle shop. Try what was Mal Storey's old shop in Kiddermister I think,always good information in that area.
2nd August,and its a shocker,just watched the forecast and cold Northerlies for Friday...Yesterday I was on a boat with Wayne and I had the Helly Hansen jacket with me !!.....Never mind sun oil the thermals won't be far away !!...
@@TAFishing At least we won't notice much difference come October. On the other hand they're threating us with 32 degrees for the end of August. Got to love British weather.
Flying ants are queen ants that mate then fly off to found new colonies. Birds love to eat them, that's why there are so many, so that some queen's survive the process.
Boy if you are going to use that ground bait to fill all the potholes in the UK you will need a hell of a lot just for the north of England. Keep catching those fish so I can watch on you tube. The tool you are looking for will be on your phone, you take a photo with your phone and then just put it into google and it will identify the item, these phones are so clever nowadays they can do almost anything except tell you where to fish.
But to film it I would have to bathe the whole river with my floodlight ,that would surely be the kiss of death for any Sea Trout,where the darkest of nights are favoured for that type of fishing. Would be a different film but almost impossible to do I think. Unless I used a night vision thermal camera .
Graeme the app for looking for plants, insects and other things. Is called seek. But anyone using it to find edible plants. Know what you're picking as it is not always 100% accurate. Tight lines sir.

Thank you Graeme, especially enjoyed the chainsaw cleaning music, nice choices. Stay healthy and on to the next adventure….
No probs, I am going to look up some more,Mike pays quite a lot for the license so I may as use it.
Some thing to watch on the night shift tonight cheers Mr Pullen.
Hopefully pass an hour for you..have a good night.

God bless Graeme
He's No1 for sure. What a guy. in the words of Carly Simon from James Bond, nobody does it better.
Steve in Fife.
@@stevied8855 he's been a staple on my screen for 10+ years! Major influence in me becoming an angler in the first place.
So CALLED GOD, don't come any way into the equation. . It's knowledge & experience.
Why have you said god bless ? I know he looks it but he's not dead
Graeme you’re like my fishing daddy. I’ve learnt so much from you and your channel over the years. Thanks a lot for sharing your experience.
I want to leave something behind for others, rather than be "what can I get out of it" types.
Please don’t start talking in that tone, you’re only 71 right?, I mean you look fit as a fiddle.
The funny thing is I enjoy the “jobs around the house” segments you do more than the fishing videos most of the time lol
Always enjoy watching the vids Graeme
I try to mix it up a bit,especially for our " midweek madness " films ,hopefully gives our viewers something else to watch as well as fishing.
Ive been watching your channel since i was a young teenager and ive learnt so much from you, thankyou so much for what you do keep it up
Brilliant as always Graham 👌 thanks for the new video 🎣🐜🦋🐟🐠🐡

That camera must be amazing, it looks like daylight. Thanks for taking us fishing again, Graeme.
Its very good in low light before going grainy,but not so good for any movement under a floodlight in the dark.
Thanks for the entertainment ❤
Love your videos and content, always enjoy pulling up a video from the channel, also gotta say i love the cook ups during the fishing videos also, watching from Florida. Thanks for all the great videos!
Hi Florida,send us some sunshine, its been cloudy and windy for weeks here...
Wonderful video graham👍

Another great episode Graeme. You get me through my week! Tight lines!
Evening Graeme, excellent episode once again, great to see a mixture of content.
Love the single barbless hook ,
Can’t believe we used to fish with two barbed trebles ❤
I am trying to get away from treble hooks I have to say ,they are an absolute pain when they tangle in a landing net,even the rubber ones.
Two TA Fishing videos a week is perfect. Thanks Graeme.
Perfect ??? You are too kind Sir...I can't do it all the time though,especially these put together types,but when I get in the mood its difficult to stop editing. I'm doing one in between checking comments here.

Thanks Graeme 👍
No probs,more to come.
Hi Graeme, those plastic/rubber fish are often deposited by family members at a favourite Peg of a lost & loved one.
Hello mate, well you say about the rain, but many rivers around here are to clear at the moment, and I hear the hot erather is on the way back again,
all the best, great video, as always.
Mid to end of August I hear...might even be a crack at the sharks.
Really enjoyed watching this mix love it
Down here in Cornwall we get at least one flying ant day every summer, it often coincides with the hottest day of the late summer
Watching in the caravan in Germany, in the pouring rain! Cheers
At least you are in a caravan...only the rain drumming on a metal roof to keep you awake all night..Been there many times,and have to say the caravan is way better than the tent in those conditions.

I think it may be a Dark Green Fritillary.
Extremely intresting Graeme,enjoyed that , why were the sparks coming out off the chain saw ? 😮

Do you have a Zander fishing site? A catch and cook would be fun. It is a relative of the North American freshwater Walleye/perch.
The only Zander fishery I used to visit has now been sold and closed ,but we don't eat them here anyway,they have to be returned. I have heard many times they are a great eating fish though by the countries that are allowed to keep them.
We get 1-2 days per year in Torquay with the flying ants, the seagulls go nuts for them
