Believe it or not this little river was actually running off from a minor flood, so it was a foot or two higher than usual. That could be why the fish were so active. The last swim where I was catching those chub usually runs just a few inches deep! As usual thank you guys for the support! Its crazy to think that in just a couple of weeks I could be at 100k subs!

I last fished at the age of 13yrs old, my life has always been firmly entrenched with nature though - and now professionally as a filmmaker. I'm a little on my back foot with fishermen that I meet as most, knowing my penchant for the whole bag, tend to start demonising otter and cormorant within a minute or two. I don't know your opinions, nor do I want to as you've just given me 20mins of happiness being on a wild tributary and seeing the most beautiful of specimens across the board (loved that Perch). You're clearly a lover of life and show great care - thanks for the experience (and bringing back a few memories). Si.

In terms of methods, quality, variety of species and time frame, I think this is probably the best fishing session I have seen on any freshwater fishing channel

You are one of the last dinos having fun without the echo and all the commercial stuff. Love it. Hi5 from Poland!

I was long trotting with red maggot on the River Alyn on Wednesday afternoon in the sunshine, stood in the middle of it ( 3ft deep) in my chest waders pulling nice Grayling, Chub and Brownies out for fun, it was epic and great to be out and about, getting back out up the bank is always the "fun" bit 😂😂, lovely vid dude 👍

Yes, that's a big trout. That's dinner 😁

The fish whisperer at it again

Another great video and cracking fish thank you for sharing again

Some cracking fun fishing.....this is what fishing is all about....one man with his net and rod at one with nature.

Commenting for the algorithm. More please.

That was a great watch and that brownie at the end, what a bonus 👍

That trout was a fish of a lifetime for some. Class mate

Memories. I used to do exactly what you did here on a local stream near me called the sow nr Eccleshall in staffs. Used to catch perch that size and chub, not quite as big. Unfortunately, due to dodgy legs, I'm unable to keep it up. Your vid was fantastic. I think I was watching with a stupid grin on my chops.😆

That's as good as it get's , thank you for sharing !

Brilliant! You're up there with Hayes and Wilson as a fishing presenter.

As a 1/4 ginger myself I had to sub when I found this video! Looked like big fun on little water!

Never caught a Brownie before but if any video was gonna make me go out in search of one, its this video. What a beautiful fish.

Just accidentally tuned in.. 🤩 amazing! I have subscribed. Beautiful chub just hitting the lure, not seen anything like that before. Great job buddy

Don't know what part of the country you live in, but you have some great places to fish!

That's a great size wild brown. It's great to know there are still streams / small rivers like this where you can get such stunning sport. Dream session !

Loved watching it mate Some very nice fish

Absolutely huge Brownie! When you said 50cm long I choked on my coffee. I used to fish small Becks growing up and never saw anything this big! Great multi species video!

WoW what a fish it's not common that you catch trout Well play I'm french sorry for the fault if there are any I'm not sure but crazy vidéo! You have stuch a good spot mate keep on going like that !!! Love your content it make me smile ! Thanks for all

That is a big old wild trout you caught,I've only ever caught one of similar size I couldn't get the smile of my face for hours afterwards. You had a session some of us could only dream of well done and thanks for sharing

The variety and size of the fish was impressive! This is my kind of fishing, smaller river, wading and spinning. Great fun. Great video.

That trout at the end though 👌 what a session

Great watch whilst having Breakfast.👍🇬🇧✌️

Some cracking fishing again. 👍

Great session... made me wish I was there...

This man can catch a fish in an empty barrel lol love all your vids keep em coming

Another superb video.

One of the best sessions ever on KZfaq - you fish with enthusiasm and respect for the fish - excellent Chris thank you

Those Chub were immaculate! And the Trout was the icing on the cake. Wonderful video!

These chub were absolutely mint! That trout was gorgeous! What a beauty! Nice perch too. What a brilliant session!

That is a absolutely belter trout for that size of river, just shows you that river has a serious amount of food source for them fish to thrive on

Makes me feel like a kid treckin along in the woods just adventuring, love your effort man can tell your havin fun

Just discovered your channel. I live in Texas and Love freshwater fishing! I watch these fishing videos sometimes. Never from a different country. I've never wondered until now about freshwater fishing in England. Never realized there was such nice fishing there! For some reason I assumed the freshwater fish were much smaller! Also, interesting to know the similarities of fishing equipment and techniques between Texas and England! I read the "about" section....and like a true fisherman....you are not revealing your fishing spots! I Love It! Here in Texas; you give away an unmolested fishing spot....it will quickly be overfished and polluted with trash! I had to google info. about your Perch and Chub. We have Trout and Pike here in the US. Not many Pike and Trout here in Texas. The ones we have are small. The further North one goes in the US; the bigger and more available both Pike and Trout can be found. We're known more for Largemouth Bass, Alligator Gar, and Catfish. Thank You for this education!

Well done lad 🎣

I haven't stopped in to watch you before. Kerry here from 🇨🇦🇨🇦. I mostly fly fish in freshwater but I occasionally go out with ultralight gear in the ocean or new backwaters. I have a friend in a distant country who fly fishes for big chub, aren't they a beautiful fish? Your approaches tell me you know quite well what you are doing and I appreciate your skill. People often get this idea that many of the "Coarse fish are junk fish but they are not. You folks have a pretty good variety of fish and most are beautiful when you look at them. I'm not a fan of Pike Fishing really, unless they smash surface lures, that can be heart stopping! I watched you grab a good sized Pike under the Gill Plate! Man that can slice up your fingers, please be careful!! That was a nice Brown you caught, put up a good scrap, you released it well. A great day on the water no matter what you are fishing. You handle fish very well, I'm happy you had a great day!

Very nice .and hello from Ireland.

That's a cracking wild brown

That Brown, beautiful specimen! 👌

that trout should be destined for the pot!!! Couple of very nice fillets, methinks!! Thanks for sharing your exploits -lottsa fun!!

Some well stunning fish Chris, and a great mixed bag . Nice rod & reel set up too 👍. Not to mention a beautiful river Too .

The quality of fish for such a small stream is absolutely astonishing! Who’d have thought it?!

They’re super healthy fish !!! I never know where to go fishing , the places you go (although you never mention exactly where ) look brilliant and as a trout fisherman I’m extremely envious of that brown trout catch what a stunning fish !!!

stunning trout

Amazi g session ending on a stunner of a brownie. Yes that’s big!

Excellent loved this session some great fish 🎣👍

Absolutely lovely session. Im not jealous, nope 👀👀

Great vid mate, every time I watch these I just want to down tools and go to the nearest lake/river and fish! Congrats on the PB!

Another enjoyable session and cracking brownie

That's just amazing fishing fella! It just makes me want to get out fishing!! Keep the brilliant footage going!@

Fantastic session - great to watch! First time I've seen you so I obviously subscribed - these small streams can be great to fish, really dynamic - that browny is a fish to be proud of - but the chub and perch were all specimens in their own right - cheers!

That trout was absolutely amazing

That was a cracking trout by any standards. Well done really enjoyable video

That brownie was a belter mate.

That was unbelievable. 👏👏👏

Proper fishing. What a superb video

Beautiful Brownie fish of a lifetime considering the venue and wild fish.

Fantastic season 👍🎣 Tight lines

Almost the complete predator set. Great session, displaying the virtues of a balanced light set up, with wide variety of lures. Tight lines Chris

Just subbed bud. About time too. Cracking vid as usual!

I would've never thought it had fish there! 🤔😅 Great content Chris! 👌👌

Great video ! I'm going to have to get me a lure rod set up and have a go

Wonderful session, great to see those beautiful condition fish . Go on Chris one more cast !

Epic session! Top content bru! Smashing it 🙌🙌🎣🎣

What a session mate well done some beautiful fish there buddy

I love your style of fishing, I used to love trotting & roaming small streams for just about anything that swims, keep it up

You’re a really talented angler. I really enjoy your videos 👍🏼🎣

Crazy good fishing session, enjoyed it with you, thanks

Wow, what a sesh! Good skills.

Can't beat a river session with all those different fish. Quality.

Awesome stuff ...this video has changed the way I think about fishing in the UK ... skinny water fishing at it's best

Awesome sir. It doesn’t get any better than this 🎣

What a brilliant video your enthusiasm shines through its all that angling is about 👏

"Chub" where I am from are either "bait" or "trash fish". The pike was awesome. The trout was AMAZING!!! (and, to be honest, ALL of the fish you caught are bugger than what I usually catch)!

Good fishermen enjoyed the show...ceep on going..._😃😃

Watching you fish brings back so many memories of my childhood adventures in the. UK. Thank you.

Cracking trout well fished good day

Damn! You are so blessed with the area you live in! So good fish stock in all those Rivers you are fishing. I'm jealous :D Keep it up!

Another great video Chris, thank you. It must be such a drag for you having to churn these out for us mere mortals, bet you really missing your old job 🤣🤣

Amazing vid loved watching it from start to finish definitely my king of place to fish my self

Cracking brownie! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

EXCELLENT footage thank you for sharing

Congratulations on 100 k Well deserved .

Well done mate! Love your attention to detail regard the quality of filming!

That, mate, was a brilliant video!

For a split second, and from side on, I thought you managed to get prince Harry with you haha. Excellent content 🙂

Never comment but been a sub for a while and watched nearly all your videos, this little stream reminds me of a little place i fished for trout as a kid. love the content keep it coming tight lines and stay safe 👍

Fantastic Chris , makes you wonder how all the fry survive with so many huge predators lurking about 😎

Another cracking video Chris! Many thanks, you are a magician!

Neglect small waters at your peril! Great little video. That's what fishing's all about!

Brilliant what a enjoyable watch , thank you and subscribed

Well done Chris, what an awesome session. Your best video for a while, really enjoyed it and jealous of all the different venues you have in your area.

Great video! There is a similar little stream close to where I live. The largest trout I have ever caught at 6.5lbs was from it, and I have also have a 5.5lb chubb from there too. Never overlook the little streams, they hold some big fish!

Nice simple session fishing without all the kit.. just how I do it.. travel light 👍

Been great to watch all the videos over last few years. Amazing fishing.

Having a pair of waders is a must have for your adventures 😄 Those fish were just perfect, and that Trout was a stunner. I treated myself to a similar Perch stick rod a while ago and I Love it ! Been catching some Carp on it recently up to 9lb and it handled them with ease. Another great video... Thanks for sharing.

What an awesome session! Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏻
