Happy days, remember catching Minnows, Stone Loach & Bullheads as a kid with a net in the local beck with occasional bonus Gudgeon. When you're little they all appear HUGE !!!
I used to have a weather loach as a pet. Once it jumped out of the tank and wriggled under my bed. I had to move the bed to retrieve it. It was ok but had a cigarette paper stuck along it. Much bigger than the loach mentioned here but otherwise similar and also famed for it's weather predicting abilities.
😂😂
Stone Loach, Bullhead, Three Spined Stickleback, Ruffe..... all smaller than Gudgeon.
You beat me to it. Stone Loach and Bullhead really should be there. Bitterling and Gudgeon are too big.
bullhead would make an honorable mention and are one of the easiest fish to catch. just slowly lift an old brick or stone from a fast flowing river or stream and slowly lower your hand into the water before quickly grabbing the bullhead. cant say the same about stone loaches

They used to be all over my local stream in scotland now there all gone wildlife in our rivers is massively in decline
Thanks for your videos jack! Enjoyed your podcast immensely too.
much appreciated
The loach is a target fish for LRF micro angles using tiny Japanese hooks very popular tick off fish
I fish the Suffolk stour and the gudgeon have reduced in big numbers, but we have lost barbel, Zander and a lot of other species, partly due to several pairs of otters being introduced into a water system that has never had them, then the over load of non native crayfish ( the ea seem to think there are native ones here, er nope ) and the occasional mess up with pollution comindown stream from sewage treatment works and haverhill, the river is a shadow of its former self, it's been left in a bad state, trees down, heavy bank to bank water bamboo growth, no work has been done on the haverhill to Sudbury section for a big number of years, which is surprising as they use the stour to pump from the Ouse through to various reservoirs, seems that the environment agency are not really concerned with the waterways around this area

Not to get confused with the weather loach - it’s them that breath in air and the spined loach needs high oxygen
they both do far as I know
Brilliant footage and very informative 👏 👍🏾
I'm creating a small pond in my back yard, and I definitely want sticklebacks in it. No non native fish though, because it's a very small pond, and if the population gets too big I want to decant the surplus into a nearby stream.
2:52 You clearly haven't seen the size of fishes I catch.
Very interesting!
Gudgeon can go to 4 oz
What about the stone loach and Bullhead ? Was it a size thing ?
Bitterling and Gudgeon too big.
Stone Loach and Bullhead should be on the list.
good one
Those sticker back have white spot
