I love ponds like this. There were a few around my town in southern Lincolnshire. Sadly in recent years they've both been fenced off and posted with no fishing signs, due to a number of people caught poaching with fixed nets and long lines. One was dug by a nearby factory and fed by an adjacent drain. Originally used as a holding pond for part of their water supply, once they switched fully to main water it was full of perch and roach/dace from the drain inlet, and it was stocked with carp and tench. Speaking to older locals, we found out it was only 6ft at it's deepest and no one had really fished it for over a decade. We cut a few clearings to the bank, and cleared the weeds/snags. Managed to fish it every day for months before anyone else discovered it. The other was a holding pond next to a train line and was originally used to refill steam engines. No idea how any fish got in there, as it was miles from the river, but it was full of bream, roach, eels, and nothing else.. I can only assume they got stuck after a nearby dyke must have flooded before the relief channel for the river was built and flooding was more common. No one else ever fished there, never saw anyone or any signs anyone had been fishing there, apart from a one man boat that was always moored in a different spot... Eventually after almost a decade of fishing there all the fish seemed to vanish from one week to the next.

You're taking adventure fishing to a whole new level these days. These little hidden waters are almost always worth the effort. Even if you don't catch, the experience is something you can't get anywhere else.

Thank you for putting her back

Great one this one George! Love how excited you get, and what a trout? Almost hybrid salmon?? lol Well done working your way around that lake pal! Keep em coming 👍🏼👍🏼 Al

Seem like a genuinely nice bloke. Really happy to be out fishing, great positivity!

I love it, im relying on watching you catch the big uns, i broke my back a month ago so im stuck in hospital and in a wheelchair for the rest of my life but my goal is to be ready for some lure fishing the start of next summer ☀️

What a nice trout and a great fishing locale. Another great adventure. Hope to see some sea fishing again.

Amazing video as always and so jealous you get to visit these beautiful spots. I really have to stop using big lures and go back to my smaller ones as you prove time and time again you still get beautiful fish even with those small lures.

Top video matey 👍 love watching yourself, snagged bro and the Ginger 1 lol, oh and not to forget the OG at Ta fishing 😉 😂

Awesome vid mate 👍 had 6 chub out of the river yesterday, going big perch hunting on the canal soon 🎣

Lovely video pal , keep up the amazing work, takes a lot of effort, thanks.

great adventure. you have been enjoying the day. nice to see your channel growing 👍💪🎣

It's amazing what fish eggs water birds pick up on the legs and feathers and carry to other waters, ponds etc. Nice trout & Perch lad..

I worked in Quarries for 10 years as an Electrician. Every quarry has a source of fresh water and they have always been the most consistent fishing I’ve ever done. Mainly bc they’re never fished.

Awesome fish! and a nice little adventure :) nice video mate, well done

Mate that trout was amazing. Well done

Loved this vid .... exciting venue and beutiful trout thanks for upload bro

I love these kind of spots. So much mystery as to what's in them. I'm watching from Canada and as soon as I saw the water, the first thing I thought was, "Brown trout!" Though I am a trout fisherman, I'm always tempted when I catch a brown to keep them because they taste so good! You got 2 wet feet, but that was a beautiful fish!

Love walking through the woods and finding forgotten ponds. They don't always pan out but once in a while I'll find a honey hole.

One thoroughly enjoyable video and one new subscriber !

Got to say you are up.there with my favourite you tubers keep.the videos coming mate ❤

Brilliant little spot and a whopping trout. Great stuff. 👍

That was absolutely mad. No way would you expect brown trout to be in there. Really shocked. Also shocked about the crazy woman. You can get cramp in those conditions. Great find that gravel pit. Had a few two pound perch in my time. Always a great fighter

Incredible fish mate! Love your enthusiasm.but the lady that went swimming in there Brrrrrrr 🥶FairPlay.

What a fine trout! With a fish that size in a quarry that small, there has to be a good food source for them. Loved the video!

Excellent catch mate,epicdrone footage,the little man is growing up so fast 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I wouldn't be asking what a trout is doing in there, I would be wondering why people leave the trash behind

Fantastic video and what a beautiful brown trout in a quarry as well i never thought at the start of the video you would catch one of them in there 🎣👏definitely worth subscribing I look forward to watch the next one 👍😊

My buddies and I used to fish several old abandoned limestone quarries around our area and they all held monster bass and catfish - it was amazing to go there would be no one else around and we would be hauling in lunkers day after day. That was like 50 years ago and those days are long gone but the memories are still there! Lots of fun and good eating too.

Nice catch! Great video to watch this early Christmas morning in Grand Rapids, Michigan, U.S.A.

Cracking trout.. well done mate

How cute is your boy! 😊 You DEFINITELY have to go back and see what else is on tap. Best of luck and tight lines.👍🏻🔥

I don’t catch a ton of perch, but I’m never unhappy when I do!! They are beautiful fish, even the little guys!!

Brilliant to see fish coming out like that! Wish I had something like that near me!

Superb as ever. Love the channel

Well done m8 good to see you put em back , looked a lovely place ,nice n peaceful .

...Outstanding! Great video thank you...

Hello George. …. Hope you and the famalam are all doing great …. What a cracking video and an amazing place … that big ole wild trout certainly loved that lure you were using and congrats on your P.B perch too. What a lovely fish and I’m still trying to break the 3 pound barrier !!!! Hope you’re all sorted for Xmas and have a good one and congratulations & thankyou for making these amazing videos and sharing it all ……. You’re a top bloke !!! Cracking my friend and you deserve all the happiness for all your hard work ! 👍😄🎣🎄🥰

Brilliant video buddy and what a surprise that trout was 👌

Yes mate. What a cracking location. New sub

That was class mate

Such a unique low impact lake to fish. It would be fun to lower a small boat and paddle around. Perch are very tasty, and what a beautiful trout!

That's just crazy. Your boy is adorable.

now that was fantastic well done to catch a wild brown trout in a old quarry with no internal stream flowing in to it is amazing

Fantastic location as usual goerge wish you and your family merry Christmas definitely go back👍

I love yellow perch fishing, here in the states, we have a unique fishery where the migrate through salt water to a brackish or fresh water , then congregate in the small creeks to spawn , usually starts in February here on the eastern shore of Maryland

I miss fishing already, beautiful spot buddy😊

what a stunning fish..Top bombing dood... have a great christmas 👍

What a gorgeous brown!

Cool fish, bro!

What an adventure that was. I think on hindsight it was worth the wet feet for the pb trout 😂. Im guessing you are starting to have a new favourite lure now. It wont be long until you have Alfie on the bank with you now.

Wow loved the video first time watching .

What a mean looking proper Wild Trout that is...fantastic

I like to Go Fishing and Those were great Catches. Especially that Beauty Of that Rainbow Trout.

Beautiful Brown Trout. ! See on caught in a quarry is amazing in itself.

Impressive brown trout from such an unlikely place. Great video

Nice fish and Beautiful scenery

Great vid and totally agree about the trash issue - many D-heads out there. So did you clarify how the trout got into that wee lake??

That is a gorgeous trout. Just found your channel and it’s awesome. Subscribed

Your lil man is adorable!! Mine is a few months short of his 5th bday…and trust me, the fun has just begun!! Mine has finally started to really take interest in my fishing!! Once the weather breaks, I’m hoping this is the year he becomes my mini fishing partner!!

Nice catch!

That fish will keep getting bigger 😲😲😲

Spot on catch.

Yep, that does deserve a subscribe! Well done mate. Please don't shout at me, people, but I honestly think that rascal would have been coming home with me and would be on a plate with some new potatoes and mangetout peas. Maybe. Nah, I doubt it actually. Beautiful fish, though! Pete 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

looks like it's worth a dive in there, could get some great UW footage of the wildlife. Cool location.

Nice work Awesome

"It's only 5 degrees..." Hahaha, that means something completely different where I'm watching this from. Cool beans man, cute kid. Thanks for the video and please have a good New Year Sir.

What a crackin' trout. Awesome location to. 👊🏻🇱🇺

Nice work mate what a lovely surprise 🫡🇬🇧

That's a nice big brown trout

Pretty fish!

Thats what i call dedication, and nicely rewarded too 👏🏼.I can't see your average southerner doing that 😇👀

I'd try deadbaiting using a small roach or something like a minnow while lure fishing aswell I think that would pick the bigger perch out that live there

Que agradable y interesante video ;)

I am not a fisherman but it could be catching! Great video.

Excellent !

What a lovely location Not interested in heavily stocked carp lakes with toilet blocks and tackle shops but this sort of thing really interests me.

Beautiful brown trout

Beautiful trout 👍👍

amazing!!

Nice trout. That quarry must have some cold water. Nice chubby perch too.👍

Very nice colouring and spots on the wild born trout.

If it's where I think I used to go scuba diving there. Lots of small fish back then it's good to see that they've grown up. There used to be a tunnel on the south end which we used for access.

Well done fella

Incredible. I’ve always wondered how fish get in these abandon quarries

I used to fish in a very similar pond with my grampa This brings back some good memories Thanks for posting this

a beautiful fish 🎉

What a lovely spot. Fantastic catch with the Trout. Subscribed.

I just clicked to see if you hooked into the Loch Ness Monster. Even though the lack of Nessy was a bit disappointing the video was still really solid and enjoyable.

Great video

That trout is worth my subscribe!!

Stunning trout mate

Fantastic 😊

That looks an epic location to fish, smashing Trout that, massive head on it.😊

That was defo worth a sub so I did nice one dude ✌️

Nice one, pretty sure i had the same fish out last winter! Live bait works well in there for 2lb+ perch.

Fished an old quarry myself the Bass were crazy hit the bobber and if you caught a bluegill good luck getting him past the Bass very fun though 😊

I love fishing there 😮

Wow didnt expect that. We have quarries like this in usa an we usually only find perch bass or carp

Insane swimming in there it's a bit isolated.
