@@adventurefishinguk Your welcome mate. I hope you don't mind but I suggested to my friend Christian that he invite you onto his podcast. It's not a fishing podcast but rather about joy and meaning and what inspires us, and for me your videos are as much about those things as they are about fishing!
Great vid George. Shame about your underwater camera...Always interesting to see what lurks beneath. Fishing is good therapy for anxiety. As is gardening , swimming and walking I do plenty of all of the above andvs bit of solitude in nature is very soothing and very nevessary .
There is something so exciting about catching wild fish you just cannot replicate by visiting a fishery. I'd take one of these over a stockie 10pounder every day.
Totally agree. Fishing a stockie water full of identical 2.4 lb rainbows is better than not fishing at all.. but doesn't touch catching a tiny but super hard fighting little fish
@@waltgrisly509 plus you have to share a fishery with people who swarm around you as soon as you catch a fish desperate to know what you caught it on. Generally hate seeing the public when I fish and will actively put in effort to ensure I'm miles away from people.
Absolutely stunning country but no trees mate - lol. You should make it an overnight or two trip and fish the stream too. Mountains are a great place to refresh and find solace. Add fishing like you did even better.
A friend moved to Kyle in Scotland and he is into fishing so one of the locals took him on a whole day's march across the wild country with almost no track to follow. He had stay at an old shack (bothy ) which he didn't expect.next day he caught a fish of about 3lb which was the only food he had so they cooked it before the long trek home .... the only reason the fish was so big is the remoteness most people won't go more than a few hundred yards from there cars 🤔
This is like the other one of your videos catching these little brown trout in these mountain lakes. Though you did not catch many, the colors of these brown trout are fantastic, and what gorgeous views of the scenery! Thank you!
Enjoy watching your channel George, love the locations and makes me want to get back into fishing the mountain lakes near where I live. Keep up the good work George.
Love this, george. Watch that ankle, our kid. Stunning footage, and huge effort. You didn’t blank, mate. Look at the heather up there. Keep ‘em coming, lad!
I love your xhannel mate. I love your enthusiasm. Mate i use to fish these kind of corrie lakes etc in ireland. Unfortunatly i have stage 4 brain mets now and i cant get up there. For all the trout junping if the hook , have you tried doubling up on the split ring near hook ? Try it. So it would be 2 rimgs and a hook.
Thanks a lot mate I really appreciate it! Sorry to hear about your issues though. I don’t think I actually use a split ring when I’m spinning but I could give it a go!
@adventurefishinguk defo do mate . It makes a difference too for sea trout. They're a nightmare for throwing hook. An old timer gave the tip. Thanks, man. It's tough . I have a 2 and 4 year old. I'm only 42. We are doing incredible, tho. 2 years into a dim outlook . This episode shouted out bit to me as I've struggled with mental health. . Lower of mind is everythng . Keep that smile, bro . I bet you're a top dad, too.
@@eglwysfawr4076 It would also offer a different method. I reckon a fly might have worked better on these type of lakes. I always do better with fly on these types of water, but will always bring an LRF and a fly rod.
@@adventurefishinguk It's a good alternative for when the lures aren't working. Taking both has opened up good fishing in virtually all conditions for me.
Well done mate beautiful video, really enjoyed it, that's the sort of thing I love doing, trekking and fishing places no one else would. Give us a shout one day I'll come with you haha
What stunning places, didn't think that the lakes were particularly small though. Perhaps they were for mountain ones but there are many lowland ones much smaller. Cracking trout one would have been great cooked on that boffy stove. I'm not entirely happy about you being way out there alone though.
Thanks a lot for watching mate! The lakes were very small the video doesn’t particularly do it justice. I mean there are much smaller ponds lowland with coarse fish in but for a wild trout water it doesn’t get any smaller really! Catch and release only in my opinion for places like this too 👍
Inspiring and fabulous video - just to stand in these beautiful places is a privilege. Love the rod and your simple set up. Can I ask what type of spinner or lure you were using? Thanks for all your help and support. Cheers
@@adventurefishinguk was out on a lake yesterday here in Norway with my float tube. Had 50+ beautiful wild brownies in just a couple of hours, perhaps more. Transformed my fishing. One of the best investments I've ever made.
Fantastic George! What a stunning location. Your vids have inspired me to buy a new travel spinning rod which Riggie has sorted out for me. Lovely reservoirs here in the south of France where I live! Hope things calm down for you soon.
@@adventurefishinguk I haven’t gone after bass yet intentionally but there are so many species to go for…. Pike perch zander and whopper cats! Saw your french competition vid a few days ago. That looked brilliant 😊
There are various theories and no one really knows for sure, probably a combination! Another theory is that they were introduced by monks as a reliable food source. Part of the intruige about the location!

@@adventurefishinguk im based in ffestiniog look at Google maps chose a lake and ill take you there some secret lakes for artic char or even wild American brook trout even land locked salmon but those are very hard to catch
@adventurefishinguk he is referring to the many Cambrian Anglers Association waters so make sure you get a ticket and put something back into the local community and comply with the rules.
Just to let you know George. Better help have actually been steeling peoples personal information and also having people who are not actually therapists.
I hope he sees this. BetterHelp has been caught engaging in really scummy practices, and they go out of their way to make sure cancelling the service is very difficult.

The fish in those mountain tarns are put there, originally anyway, by the environment agency. They act as an insurance policy against environmental disasters in the valley as well as providing sport for adventurous fisherfolk.
That's not the case mate sorry, the fish in these mountain lakes/lochs have been there for millenia. They are the remains of populations cut off when glaciers retreated. Yes, some species get there by other means, usually perch, some are remnants of lochs/lakes/tarns previously stocked by sporting estates. What you're speaking about has definitely happened with Powan. I believe they are called Vendace in England and a few populations exist primarily in the glacial waters in the lake district.

@@adventurefishinguk I’m home and now pressing play to watch :)
Stunning scenery. Pure bliss finding beautiful trout in such small high lakes. Enjoying such solitude is absolutely wonderful.
Absolutely stunning country but no trees mate - lol. You should make it an overnight or two trip and fish the stream too. Mountains are a great place to refresh and find solace. Add fishing like you did even better.
Trees don’t grow on mountain tops it’s too high altitude for them.
Great video George. There is always something special about catching fish in those remote lochs.
Thanks mate! Couldn’t agree more, such a great place to be fishing up in the mountains 👍

@@cedhome7945 Fortunately most fishermen are incredibly lazy and if it's further than 100m from the road, most won't bother.
United Utilities wants to know your location.
They think it looks too clean and want to dump some sewage into it.

From memory, Blackbeck and Innominate Tarns or the small unnamed tarn on Haystacks.

I know that lake I walked up Red Pike and flew my Paraglider over it in June.Caught some nice;little brownies in a small stream today
Can always count on stunning views and great fishing from George #mental health ❤

That little house could save a lot of lives, great place… thanks for sharing videos..
Really? It's less than a mile from a car park.
Try slowing your retrieve when you hookup. Less chance you're damage the fish. You always seem in a rush to bank it.
Very enjoyable. I've fished some them lakes , not as easy as it looks .
Lovely Video, the mountain are stunning thank for sharing your adventure
A shout out from North Borneo
Keep the chin up big guy and that's a stunning location
Do you never fancy fly fishing for trout? It's a lot more rewarding than spinning for them.
I agree, but I imagine as a content creator they want instant rewards for instant views maybe, I fly fish myself and enjoy it more.
@@eglwysfawr4076 It would also offer a different method. I reckon a fly might have worked better on these type of lakes.
I always do better with fly on these types of water, but will always bring an LRF and a fly rod.
I’ve given it a go a few times mate but it’s a method I’ve never properly connected with to be honest. I much prefer lure fishing in general!
@@adventurefishinguk It's a good alternative for when the lures aren't working. Taking both has opened up good fishing in virtually all conditions for me.
Fly is much more productive for this kind of fishing.
Like always beautiful scenery! A nice walk in fresh air. The air must taste great! Keep up the great work and the fishing. Thank you
Very impressive, stunning scenery .. any form of fishing is therapy but I would have preferred that you would have fly fished those beautiful lakes.
As ever George, your content brightens my day. Keep going!
Thanks a lot for watching mate!

Always great locations but do you not get bored always catching small trout ?
The view at 3:46 sure looks like mach loop. Any jets fly past while you were there?
Love yr Mountain fishing adventures. Question, mountain fish has always been there or it was recently?
Nice video. You put a lot of effort in. You deserve to catch.
...Wow! Outstanding video. Beautiful creations by God. Thank you, will keep you in my prayers...
Thanks a lot for watching mate!
Inspiring and fabulous video - just to stand in these beautiful places is a privilege. Love the rod and your simple set up. Can I ask what type of spinner or lure you were using? Thanks for all your help and support. Cheers
Really happy to hear you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching! I mostly use mepps spinners in a variety of sizes, can't beat them in my opinion!
Beautiful areas
Those lakes would be cracking with a float tube.
Game changer
These ones are so small you can cast to all of the water, but for the bigger mountain lakes a float tube would be so so good!
Don't take float tubes up there, the chance of introducing invasive species would be higher and our last wild upland stocks are highly sensitive.
@@adventurefishinguk was out on a lake yesterday here in Norway with my float tube. Had 50+ beautiful wild brownies in just a couple of hours, perhaps more.
Transformed my fishing. One of the best investments I've ever made.
Superb videos George I look forward to the notifications. What is the camera your using? Looks like a fun experiment.
Thanks mate I really appreciate that! The Insta 360 X3 i think it is 👍

Fantastic George! What a stunning location. Your vids have inspired me to buy a new travel spinning rod which Riggie has sorted out for me. Lovely reservoirs here in the south of France where I live! Hope things calm down for you soon.
Thanks mate! I'm sure you'll love your rod, do you do a lot of bass fishing down in the south of france?
@@adventurefishinguk I haven’t gone after bass yet intentionally but there are so many species to go for…. Pike perch zander and whopper cats! Saw your french competition vid a few days ago. That looked brilliant 😊
Would really really like to know line breaking strain and what lures you are using!
Wouldn't imagine any more than 3-4lb leader .
Thanks nice one buddy ❤🎉
Beautiful! - thanks.
How do the brownies get into these remote lakes?
Stocked years ago?
Eggs carried by water birds?
