- Fishing a secret and untouched tiny river that is FULL of beautiful fish in amazing surroundings. I've never had a fishing trip like this before, the fish just kept coming and coming. This is my first grayling fishing video in quite some time and i'm definitely no expert when it comes to coarse fishing as I mostly lure fish. It's been great fun learning how to catch grayling though, especially when there was this many this willing to bite. What Ended up driving the 4 hour round trip to film this video, and it's taken me a good couple of days to edit so I really hop you enjoy this one!

Great fishing!
And beautiful fish.
I imagine those grayling fish are as abundant as the blue gills here in the US they are quite beautiful as well. 😎
Grayling aren't really common over here
Some rivers are full of them yes but in some regions they are non existent! Thanks for watching 👍
L know where thls ls.....@@adventurefishinguk
Running a float rig is far better and very easy to set up and you cover a lot of water aswell great video again sir
I’ll have to try that next time. Thanks for watching!
Try trotting a float through mate. its much more exciting watching it slide away, it helps putting up with the cold weather aswell as you sort of forget about it as much with you concentrating on watching your float 👍🎣
That style of fishing definitely appeals to me. Looks a little tricker to rig up though and i'm not so good at the fiddlier side of this kind of fishing!
@@adventurefishingukit's not as tricky as you think, if you ever get round too giving it ago i honestly think you'll love it and probs not switch back to ledgering 😂, depending on the fishing situation 🎣👍
@@adventurefishinguk if you normally fly fish you could use your fly tackle with an indicator and trott a maggot that way...
@@seanclarey983 I think I will mate!
@@oldgold5848 thanks for the suggestion! Not so good at fly fishing personally but a great idea
Sick vid mate, how heavy was the weight you used?
Thanks mate! I think this one was 15 grams
I think he caught the same fish five times
I’m not sure if any of them would take it a second time, quite possible though!
That's the Bristol Channel, I can tell by the shape of the sky. R.
Damn, I knew I should’ve edited the sky out!
The things we never notice now.🥺
As hunter gatherers these things would have been so important to survival.🎣
The world has certainly changed, and, in my opinion, not for the better.🥺🥺
Thanks for the journey, loved it.♥️♥️
A very merry Xmas to you and your family.🧑🎄🧑🎄🧑🎄
Take care and stay safe.😷🙊
A very interesting perspective Ian! Hope you’re well and have a good Christmas, thanks for watching!
They have a slight taste of cucumber when cooked
The Lady of the River! I refer to the Grayling by the way, not you pal, lol. Oh and i have fished this location many times. It's hard to keep it a secret with those arches looming. Also in your description you say 'Coarse' Grayling and Trout are 'Game' fish not Coarse. Targeting predators with a Lure is Coarse fishing. The fact your using Coarse tackle doesn't change the fact that they are Game fish. Some superb fish, treated with the upmost care. Great content, good fishing.
Good explanation. that's always something i've wondered about the distinction between coarse and game! Have you been fishing it recently?
Мужик, ты красавец. приезжай в Россию в сибирь и дальний восток, вот там рыбалка. Таймень, хариус, форель, нельма, лососевые.
Thanks for watching!
My local Carvery place is called The Grayling. Grayling are normally more south of the country. Growing up in the North its not something i've caught before.
Plenty around mate even way up in Scotland! Can be a little tricky to find though
The north has always well known for its grayling fishing.
@@tonycamplin8607yeah when I was a kid of 9 or 10 I used to catch them in the river Blythe in Northumberland and Jed water near Jedburgh Scotland
Is this Dumfries area or north England… positive I recognise this area but cannot place it? River Calder at Whalley?
Sorry mate I have to keep my lips sealed on this one!
No idea where this is but I do know it’s definitely not the Calder at Whalley
Yes it is
@@adventurefishinguk no probs it’s either the west coast mainline or east coast as there’s overhead line equipment on the railway…won’t take long to work it out 👍
@@adventurefishinguk I know where it is now about an hour and half a way from where I live… knew I knew it… 👍 fished there a couple of times last winter and had grayling to around a lb 👍 tight lines… 👍
Reminds me of the days we used to have on the tweed and teviot back in the 80,s was fish a chuck and all 1lb 8 oz plus fish great memories
That sounds like some amazing fishing!
Someone said grayling smell like cucumber 🥒 fresh out the water 💧 is that true?
I’ve never noticed it myself mate but I’ve heard that too!
I would have tried a worm there before moving on, you may have caught a bigger one, who knows😊
I'll have to remember worms next time i go 👍
They smell so lovely too, they smell of herbs, thyme especially, hence their Latin name thymallus thymallus
A few people have said that actually, next time i go out fishing for them i'll give one a smell!
I've visited this video again because of how beautiful the place looks. It really is a winter paradise.
Thanks for watching mate, loved filming this one!
@@adventurefishinguk Be careful that your metadata doesn't give away the location...
I have always wanted to caught a Grayling. Never have as they live mostly 600 miles North of here and that's another country which is not amused about my behavior when I was in my 20's. (edit) You're doing life right it looks. Keep up the good work.
They're great fun to catch! Hahah go on, now you've mentioned it i need to know. What did you do?
I was a touring rock-n-roll drummer from Wisconsin in the 1980 - 90's (Austin Texas and Southern California) where beer drinking is pretty much required during a time when it was "cheap" to own ridiculously overpowered American hotrod cars as a rule. It's ok, nobody got hurt. However, I will never be allowed to drive or probably ever into Canada again. B-0!! Fish-on my good sir!! I have straightened out...I give professional exams now after spending forever back in College on the Deans list.@@adventurefishinguk
Grayling here have a big blue fin. I've never seen one with a red fin
They’re an amazing fish! Thanks for watching 👍
Jesus Christ the man went for a days fishing, if he doesn’t want to share the location for what ever reason that’s up to him! Great video lad!
Thanks for watching mate!
Just curious, do you need a trout stamp in Britain?
I don't know what that is so i'm assuming not!
sad to think activities such as this will some day be banned when animal rights groups are allowed to get around to concentrating on the various forms of fishing ..they are getting there slowly but surely with little opposition tight lines
Fingers crossed it never goes that far!
I can guarantee u it eventually will happen if its not nipped in the bud I'm absolutly sure of that . people are not nearly proactive enough if this lot are against drinking a cows milk u can b sure they're against fishing some of them might say otherwise they are lying this is a bigger problem than people realise
Are they good eating fish like trout?
I couldn't say i've never had one, I think people eat them in scandanavia maybe?
You can't beat a bit of Trotting slick float grate way to fish for winter grayling fishing much better than Lures my friend 😉
Might have to try that it does look like great fun 👍
My small local river was stocked with 500 barbel 3years ago just in time for some twat to release some otters ...we know they were released because they had not been seen around for 40/50+years and they were very tame .if you're able to fish a nice small river do what you can to persevere it ...great vid wish I was there !🎣
Sounds like bad timing, whoever’s idea it was to do that maybe didn’t make the best call! Shame, I bet it could’ve been a thriving barbel river. Thanks for watching!
Ha ha, that place looks familiar to me!! Great fish 😁 I must christen my Abu 507 I bought three years ago🙃 I do like watching your vids, it gives me encouragement for next year.
Thanks mate! Hope you get some cracking fish landed in 2023 👍
Good fishin'. Take the plastic off the cork handle. Moisture can get under it and the cork will rot.
Thanks for the reminder and I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Which rod was that? Rigged and Ready
It's the rigged and ready fish rig 180 👍
You certainly find some spectacular venues George, absolutely loved this one, well done sunshine.
thanks Mick, I do try! The snow definitely helped set the mood 👍❄️
Aw George pal to say I’m envious is an understatement that location is absolutely beautiful and the Grayling equally beautiful Nice1 pal take it easy & Tight lines Have a lovely Christmas btw ✌🏼💙👍🏼🏴
Thanks mate, great day out that’s for sure! Merry Christmas 👍
what a smashing video this was and ledgering for grayling as well!!! Love it, what a setting and so many fish!!
Thanks mate glad you liked it, much appreciated from a man of your grayling prowess!
Great video stunning small river you caught some nice grayling say it was very cold 🎣👍
Thanks mate! Yeah it was absolutely freezing 🥶
Great video, we've just relocated to Anglesey, and I see you've fished it alot
Thanks mate. I certainly have, it’s an amazing place to fish!
What a gorgeous place to fish. Only caught two grayling ever, came in two casts 1st was 2 Oz second was about 2lb talk about extremes. Thanks
Stunning isn’t it! 2lb is a cracking fish mate well done!
Great to see a good winter session in such a magnificent setting!
Thanks mate, was great fun in the snow!
Quiver tip/float rod would be better !!!
Love the video !
I got my first grayling on my ultralight too!!!!
I do have one actually, I’ll have to get it sorted for next time! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great video mate love watching them keep it up colab with snagged bro again at some point???
Thanks mate! Hoping to be out filming with them again around march time 👍
Im 15 and a carp fisher man you should give it a try out on a mild rainy day you will have a lot of fun if you can hook one anyway keep up the good work and tight lines
Only just bought some gear to start fishing, I’ve never fished before, I am 21 from the uk. Any tips on how to start at this time of year?
Depends a lot what kind of fishing you want to do and what venues you’ve got around you mate!
Well I want to catch small fish until I get used to it but I really want to try for a pike
It looked a bit like the Ouse Valley viaduct(Balcombe), but if you're up north I guess I am wrong. Nice anyway, grayling are a great fish.👍
Lol is top-secret have to kill you if I told you lol
I was thinking North Yorkshire way....
Can neither confirm or deny! Thanks for watching mate, they're a really fun species to fish for
If he wanted you to know where he surely would have told you...have you no respect? How about you share some of your secret locations for us all to plunder ?
@@RGRIMOWEN Hi. Thank you for your friendly conversation, and do remember to have a nice day. 😁
Congrats on catching the most beautiful fish on this planet, the true Lady,
Thank you! Definitely has to be a contender
Lovely fish well done not my preferred method to catch the lady of the stream but good on you
Thanks mate! Hoping to try myself either on micro lures or flies soon
@@adventurefishinguk yes I’ve had them on the fly and lures great fun look forward to seeing how you get on
I'm gutted we don't have grayling in the isle of man infact not much course fishing at all but I do sometimes use this 12 ft float fishing rod with a centrepin reel and jus trott a worm down stream when I'm trout fishing in season, it's as close as I can get and it's great hooking a 2lb + wild brown trout on super lightweight tackle designed to catch roach n rudd. Mega fun..
It’s a shame you don’t have them, they’re a great fish! Thanks for watching
Don't think I've seen a video with so many Grayling in one area, Happy Xmas to you and your family George and thanks for the fantastic value viewings this year 🎄
Thanks mate, really glad you’ve been enjoying watching the videos! Hope you have a good Christmas 👍
Do you ever eat the fish you catch? Are grayling tasty?
Very very rarely, and i'm not sure actually. They aren't a known eating fish but i believe some people do eat them!
@@adventurefishingukthere used to be a song about grayling poaching, the Grayling was sometimes known as the Umber, the song goes Umber Umber stick it up your jumper ! It was to stop the bailiffs from catching you . More verses but you get the picture
Never caught a greyling. Stunning fish though. Great work!!
Thanks mate, they’re a really fun fish to catch for sure!
Another excellent video, Graying , Chub and Roach provide good fishing in hard conditions and do tend to shoal up!
Thanks mate, definitely explains them all in the pool!
Definetly getting some adveture kit now so i can explore when i am on the road.
It;s nice in Derbyshire this time of year, glad to see you enjoyng the river as much as I do 😏
That doesn't look like Derbyshire to me??
Thanks mate, i'm just discovering how much fun rivers can be to fish in this time of year!
@@adventurefishinguk Oh I was'nt suggesting you were in Derbyshire just pointing out how nice it is here at the moment and how good it is to enjoy the rivers at this time of year, sorry for any confusion
You ever find with grayling that they really need a rest before releasing?
I never targeted grayling specifically but one of the rivers I frequent holds quite a few. Ive found quite often that even after unhooking quickly they dont like to swim off, maybe thats my habbit of holding fish upside down while unhooking to keep them calm, but yeah, as a carp fisherman turned float / river. Nobody ever told me that grayling are as delicate as they are! If anyone reads this, let your grayling rest in the net, even more than you would a barble or pike, they tire themselves out just the same if not more!!!
Funny you mention it, last time I went grayling fishing every one needed a good rest before releasing. This time they all were really keen to get off straight away. Maybe the colder it is, the easier it is for them to recover?
@@adventurefishinguk
Sorry lad long message here:
Love the videos BTW
I noticed in this video. When you said about holding them over water and that fish slipped away I could hear it swim off instantly, gone! Admittedly I've only had them out in summer / autumn I think your onto something there maybe the cold weather perks them up a bit.
Grayling are so under targeted and amazingly beautiful.
As you've done, get out on a river with a lighter spinning rod, and even though your not spining it gives you an amazing fight! If you ask me some of those lighter 5-15g spinning rods really do flick a float quite far.
Id love to see a trent video from you one day! Lots of free (or incredibly cheap 2 quid day ticket on the bank sort've thing) stretches around nottingham city where im based, some lovely pike fishing to be had I cant tell you the amount of times I've had a pike chase in a roach. Even brought in half a minnow just a month ago! the perch are absolutely top quality too, its great for the predator fish. further out of the city barble and chub hang around, 10 foot out it will drop to 20-30 feet deep in places and its 100 meters wide yet crystal clear! so its a very interesting place to fish. It's mostly gravel bottom.
If you did have interest in fishing the trent google "bob roberts trent guide" its a very updated map (2019), look at maps 23/24 thats all free fishing...
as of recently two local lads pulled out some lovely carp from there too! It was thought for a long time (im 22 and we're talking before I was born!) that the carp had died off in that area but nope they're around still, recently I've seen bream jump out its a mishmash of every stillwater and river species you can imagine, insane stuff. The fishing there is something else, had pikes on maggots sortve crazy and its so underfished but so heavily trafficed that the fish do not spook!
Beautiful fish. I've not tried them but I've read they have a slight cucumberish taste when cooked.
I’ve not tried them either but apparently they smell a lot like thyme!
Don't you eat any? They are delicious. I cannot put fish back.....unless they are too small.
I believe in catch and release for the vast majority of instances mate!
That was a great day's fishing!!!!
Thanks for taking us with you.
😎🐟🎣
Thanks for watching and joining me!
I've just started my subcription to this channel and I enjoyed this video a lot despite we've got no grayling down here in Spain. Wonderfully beautiful fish with that red dorsal fin. Their scientific name suggests that grayling smell of thyme when just taken out of the water. I am curious about that.
Thanks for watching mate! Next time i'm out fishing for them i'll see if I can smell it 😂
What a session! Going to try for a grayling tomorrow. Hadn't thought about using a ledgered rig but if it's cold the grayling will hold bottom and move less looks like it could be useful. Might take a weighted maggot feeder with me and give it a try if I struggle trotting tomorrow!
Thanks mate! Yeah it seemed to work really well actually but I’m sure a float rig would’ve done too if fished effectively
Now then George. Hope all is good with you and the family and hope the little one is looking forward to Santa coming or should I say Father Christmas. I’m more of a Father Christmas than
a Santa.. . Anyway that’s just me … well what can I say! What an amazing tally of fish you caught my friend.. Grayling are a beautiful coloured fish and you had some nice specimens there my friend. It’s been so cold lately working outside and just glad this week has been a bit milder. We still got plenty of winter months to come. Hopefully I will get a few hours over the next week or so in between Christmas. Anyway, all the best to you buddy and you keep doing the cracking videos and enjoy what you love doing 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎄🎄🎄🎄👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁
Alls well thanks John! Hope you and your family all have a great Christmas. Thanks for watching the video and for the comment I’m glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully you manage to get a bit more time out on the bank next year!
what a place that is......great xmas vid mate
Thanks for watching mate, glad you enjoyed it!
If you like that you should try the limestone streams of the Midwest. Just miles and miles of streams like this that are almost untouched because most locals only think you can catch fish on the Mississippi.
I'd love to fish in the us one day, a dream of mine!
That my friend, was a very entertaining video, thank you.
Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it!
Beautiful fish! Here in Hungary, it's very rare and protected.
Thanks mate, that's really interesting to hear!
Lovely video and a beautiful location, I am envious! Grayling are making a comeback in our rivers now they are cleaning up after industrial pollution. They will feed when its too cold for other species, they are so beautiful and deserve their other name of "the lady of the stream". I never use heavy weights, feeders or tackle just a light rod, sometimes one of my old cane rods and a Nottingham centre pin. Light line and 14-16 hook, and trot maggots or worms using a stick or porcupine quill. Its old school but it works A grayling is a fish to be respected, they are beautiful, put up a good fight and its great to see you setting a good handling example, not everyone does!.
Thanks mate! Heard great things about fishing with a centre pin, definitely something I want to have a go at. Thanks for watching!
I thought on cold days like this it was standard practice to keep a few maggots in your mouth before hooking them to keep them as active as possible. 🎣. I've never actually caught a Grayling yet. Beautiful fish. Well done for getting out in all this frosty weather & lucky you for getting access to this very nice spot.
Hmm an interesting idea that’s for sure, can’t tell if you’re being serious or if you’re having me on 😂 thanks for watching!
@@adventurefishinguk I was serious. It's a trick the match fishermen use during the colder months of the year to keep the maggots more active on the hook for longer in the cold water. Not sure I would do it myself but then I would not be out fishing in cold weather. That said I could persuaded if there was a prospect of catching that many fish. Stay safe..
@@colingoode3702 well thanks for the tip I might just give it a whirl one day
🤢
Maybe get hand warmers gel pads things that last 1 or 2 hours I think. Not used one but that's maybe an option to keep them warm. I wouldn't put it in my mouth but each to their own
Cracking stream I do miss these small streams and coarse fish sometimes.
Sure that's a no fishing spot 😂
Sweet talking local farmers can get you a long way mate!
Great video. Its a awesome venue. Fished it a few times when visiting my parents. We used to walk along the disused railway with the river running below. Iv had sea trout, trout and lost a few, salmon. You should try using a stick float and center pin. Mush more fun. Tight lines
Thanks for watching! I’m really surprised to hear there have been salmon in there with it being so small. I’ll have to have a go with a centre pin one day
I'm going out for my first ever grayling between xmas and hogmany, weather permitting. I hope my session will be as productive as yours was.
I hope it is too mate, good luck!
@@adventurefishinguk ta
Aup mate tell Callum when you next speak to him keep his mouth shut about fishing spots in are little town please :)
😂 Callum knows his stuff! Been out with him in the area a few times
how do you find these places...
Word of mouth, research, maps etc. It takes a lot of time!
@@adventurefishinguk i bet!! I been trying to find a decent spot near me just for some night fishing and theres literly nothing within a 3 hr drive that I can find online. What i find frustrating is that every bit of every water seems to be owned by somebody. Rivers especialy i find impossible to work out where and how you can fish. Have you ever had problems with fishing somewhere you not meant to?
Is there a difference between the yellow and pink maggots apart from the colour? Taste? Sex? texture?Both gross me out anyway 🤢 Chilli Doritos for me too 😂
I prefer the taste of the red ones to be honest! 😂
What you have is great, and great watching your vid, you are so lucky.
But I need to honestly warn you though? Their are people called flood prevention engineers, they care not for habitats. There's a little stream I used to fish in, used to be full packed with 3 -4 lb chub in the pools, Kingfishers and water rats were so common place right far up in the little pools. They built houses all over the flood plains in the last 40 years 10 miles downstream, and consequently built weirs, damns and little flood prevention reservoirs called pocket parks, or if they want to make some money, stocked carp ponds. They dig everything out, plant foreign species of water plants our species can't eat etc. Nothing natural makes it up into my little stream to spawn any more, it's dead. Sorry for the rant, but protect your lovely space.
It’s a shame to hear about that stream mate. Unfortunately fish stocks are facing a lot of pressures from various things, pollution is the one that scares me the most though. Thanks for watching!
@@adventurefishinguk Cheers. I think the smaller streams like the one here are very delicate things. The vids wonderful and what a gorgeous day you picked, far more to fishing than catching fish :-)
Still cant believe that many fish were in that pool! Such a magical video as well 💓
I know, an amazing place to fish too and the snow was a bonus ❄️
Best type of fishing for me , always action with grayling ion cold days .
There even may be a big chub in the first pool you fished
Wouldn't surprise me if there was! I'd have expected to catch it at some point though 👍
Wow grayling galore- they are a stunning fish - larger dorsal fin = female - great video George
Thanks for the info mate and I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Male has the larger sail fin
@@magpies77 there is actually quite a bit of controversy but the latest research demonstrates that females fins larger males greater colour
The river Mersey at New-Brighton really is lovely fishing at this time of year 👍
Whats coming out at the moment mate? Plenty of cod?
@@adventurefishinguk Red herrings mate, boat loads 😉
Nice to see your exitement for some grayling, I am Norwegian and VERY picky about my fresh water fishing. If it isnt a trout, char or a salmon i am not fishing it and if i risk getting a different specie i am not fishing there. Luckily where i live most lakes dont have anything ellse than char and or trout:) Nice vid tho so good stuff:)
Thanks for watching, you must be missing out on some world class pike and perch fishing!
@@adventurefishinguk i hate them all, pike, perch, brim chub, barbel, carp grayling. the whatever lol so nope:) But i see your point indeed
Great video George, some cracking fish and a stunning location. Out of curiosity, I am looking at getting rig180 rod, what sort of weight size were you using? Have you ever used the rod with a swim feeder?
Thanks mate! This was a 15 gram weight and it worked just fine. I wouldn’t push it past 20 on the longer tip, but the shorter one can cast more. For lures though, I’d go much much lighter. Hope this helps!
@AdventureFishingUK thank you, main reason to get it is for lures but handy to have for bait setup if meed be
@@robertkirk1983 yeah it’s a great all rounder. If you do get one make sure you get 10% off with code AFUK10 will save you a few quid!
@AdventureFishingUK will do, used your code earlier in year when bought predator rod and reel
What fun time that was. Never caught a grayling so pretty cool to see you do it.
Thanks for watching, they’re great fun to fish for in winter!
Happy Christmas to you Two . All the best to you and yours fat fish
Thanks mate!
I've caught wild browns and salmon where I live at this time of year "February " is good if u float a worm on really light tackle also a friend of mine has caught a flounder 3 miles up stream no tide gets up that high and they ain't caught regular but from time to time you'll get one, excellent video m8.
Thanks for watching mate! I really hope I get a salmon this year, hoping for a few flatties too
Yeah hoping for a any type of flatfish or a skate or ray I'd be happy with any, but all that said I don't mind just being out fishing it's my own type of meditation when I'm alone by the river only sounds the birds and water, so peaceful ✌
I want to ask... Is it super cold😂
It was mate yes, everywhere else I wanted to fish was frozen solid!
Been fishing for 50 years.
Don't shoot me, but, I've never caught a grayling yet!
You should get out and try mate, definitely a bucket list fish!
Looks like river got one of best grayling rivers in country
Goyt
Could be up there mate!
Great Winter session 🎣👍
Thanks mate! Was great fun being out there in the snow
@@adventurefishinguk one for the memory bank
Is all your fishing pay- to-
play?.
Some of it, most of it is free though and some of it is knowing the right people!
Michigan, where I live and flyfish, is a full access state. Wade any river below the high water mark if you access from public ground like bridges or access pts. Come visit some time.
@@robertcross6834 I may well take you up on that! Hoping to visit America soon so stay in touch 👍
Nice video, looks stunning, you don't half pull the head off them, go easy you'll land more there not pike lol
Thanks mate! It’s a very slow soft action rod with this tip in so no harm done!
Thats a real gem of a water, well done this has given a lift to many of us anglers, lady of the stream, I have caught two grayling some years ago,
the sunlight bend in the rod, what more could you want.
Stunning isn’t it! Thanks for watching 👍
I love that ‘Lady of the Stream’ title!
@@alison8526 Hello Alison, it's a lovely way to describe a fish, but also a true saying, have a great Christmas and New year.
@@cliveeariss880 thank you 🙏🏻 you too!
if train spotters see this channel they will know where you are
Yeah maybe!
Lovely river and a perfect winter day for grayling fishing. I prefer to catch them on the float, but I do leger for them if I am struggling on the float, or need a rest and a cup of tea! Deep hooking can be a problem on the leger, so timing of the strike is important. I suspect that static fishing with the leger gives a better chance of picking up the bigger fish from swims that are hard (or impossible) to trot due to snags or overhanging tree cover.
I enjoyed watching and I am looking forward to some cold, dry weather so that the rivers become fishable again.
thanks for watching and some good points made! I do fancy trying a bit of float fishing for them but it looks a little more complicated to rig up
@@adventurefishinguk To be honest, the only complicated part is assessing the depth. If the float keeps dragging under (even when held back), it is set too deep, so simply slide the float down a bit. All that is required is just float rubbers, an Avon float (or a stick float), a bunch of shot more than halfway down and a small shot about 12 inches above the hook to sink the bait and aid bite registration. Ideally, the bait should be just above the bottom. The float usually precedes the bait (current is faster at the surface) but the float can be held back at the end of each trot down. This causes the bait to rise in the water and can often induce a grayling to take. I would recommend practising on a clear area of river (on a fairly still day) without too much bankside herbage to get in the way. Once you have got the hang of it, then head to the areas where you know the grayling will be.
Thanks for the videos over 2022 have a good Christmas 🎣👍
Thanks mate, hopefully plenty more in 2023!
That viaduct looks like the 1 near me on the Welland? Before it becomes the main river ?
🤫
Well I never knew there were grayling there, but I won't say where lol
There's plenty mate!
Got river anton in back garden some cracking grayling in they love a meal worm 👍
Would love to have a river in my garden, maybe one day!
hi george nice video! does that weight move at all or not? is it trapped with 2 stops? also any leader used? cheers
Thanks mate! No leader, just thread a weight on, then one old school weight stop, then tie on a hook and the weight moves 👍
Unreal session mate! Extremely jealous🐠🐠
Keep up the videos loving the content atm👊
Thanks mate I appreciate that!
Just off the a1 in Northumberland 😊
No clues from me sorry mate!
I know where you are
I appreciate you keeping it on the down low!
@@adventurefishinguk no worries mate
Nice stretch of water with some quality fish)😬
Thanks mate!
Crackin fishin m8, a fish we don't have the pleasure of catching in N.Ireland 🎣
Thanks mate! Beautiful species aren't they!
@@adventurefishinguk definitely are man. I'm mainly a predator fisherman but they are called the lady of the stream for a reason. Lovely 👍🎣
@@adventurefishinguk all fish are predatory really. I've had roach take a fairly large shrimp imitation fly while out. Might start doin this RUclips stuff and post it just to prove it's not bullshit 😂. Ya should checkout my cormorant vids I posted on my last trip out. It's called "cormorant nos1" and "cormorant no's 2". Fished that lake for 15years and it's the 1st time it's ever happened.... 2days in a row 🤬
Hi George, great video! Fishing with Carl, Snagged Bro and yourself all seem to constantly fishing new spots. I’ve ordered a lightweight jig setup for myself for Christmas and bought myself a rod licence. However, I don’t know where I can and can’t fish, I’m able to find who owns the rights to the private lakes and some parts of the canals but how do I know who owns the smaller rivers and streams like in this video?
Any tips on how to find where I can fish? Cheers mate!
Thanks for watching! Yeah I do like to search around and keep it mixed up. Google is the best resource try searching around the names of the streams etc, and just going and scouting the area out tends to work well too!
Like George says, do your research. As a rule of thumb I'd want information confirmed by two or three people if relying on word of mouth. If the water is on private land a letter asking about fishing rights (enclose an s.a.e.) may produce the goods. A good old-fashioned letter probably makes a better impression than anemail these days. Quite a lot of rivers are free to fish. Tight lines!
My first ever grayling a little one jumped up and fly on a rock and died😅
Haha oh no that's a shame
Is this the river stour by any chance maybe not
Sorry mate no clues from me!
