Big Trout Live in This polluted City Stream 

No fish finders, no side scan, just exploration and watercraft. Top stuff.

Drone shots are epic mate! Somebody give this man a 6 series TV deal and send him around the world!!

Nothing but respect for anglers like you, using the single hooks instead of the trebles, putting the fish's well being first even when that means less captures, respect!

It's sad to see how some people are ruining the planet, nice to see you catch some really fine trout.

I can't go fishing right now due to a motorcycle accident so I'm fishing vicariously through people like you, Carl and the Snagged Bros, so thank you for helping to get me through the last 5 months

The rivers of this country have been ruined by the water companies. And fly tippers ought to be jailed

I posted a picture of my local river where they've been pulling up behind the supermarket and dumping everything from mattresses to full beds entire house clearances it's an absolute disgrace what some scumbags do to the rivers. Cheers for highlighting it chris😢

I learn a lot and loving my fishing again ......thank you.

I always feel I'm wasting time saying this here... But I was fifteen or so fishing my first match. Sandford mill on twyford and district. Caught one minnow, and enormous skinny browntrout. Won a landing net. I wasn't allowed to keep trout😅 A minnow won me my best prize Eva. 👍

Props on wetting your hand before handling trout! Something I wish everyone knew and actually did.

My favourite type of fishing. Exploring streams with a small spinning rod to see what’s about. It’s the unknown that lures me.😊

Fishing never stops! 🔥 Let's get them beautiful Trout!

Chris, another great video thanks.

My favourite season! Can't wait to get the fly rod out and catch some of these beauties! Great video! 🎣

My husband doesn't fish often but when he does wow he can fish!!! He watches you fishing and the excitement he feels I wish i could can it up and give it out for free!!!

you should inform the local river trust to go move that moped out the river before its oils and chemicals leak in the river, just a thought, great video as always keep them coming 😃

What a lovely video thanks Chris 👍🏼

Nice to see those beautiful trout & thanks for the single hook idea.🎣

Fantastic fishing as usual, missed these trout videos, looking forward to more!

Love your care of the fish brother 💯

yeah dude these are just getting better and better, love to see how far you’ve come since the early duo days

Great Chris thanks good laugh really enjoyed

Thanks Chris. Great footage!

Love seeing you catch the browns. Those are always an unexpected treat, when I do reservoir fishing here in the Intermountain West U.S.

A great session. You're fortunate to have access to such prolific, presumably syndicate or club owned waters and they aren't fly only.

Those little tips are class Chris, shows why your this years champ 👍🏻

Beautiful city slicker trout gracing the urban landscape Good hook positioning strategy..

Iv trout fished for years and always have the hook on the rear facing down for the hookup. Trout have really boney mouths too and depending how rocky your river is and how tight your fishing, you'd be supprised how quickly the hooks blunt too much to hook efficently too. I always keep an oring tool and spare hooks with me. Iv gone smaller on the hook too, as sometimes you can foul hook to the eye if there too long. I'd say I get about 70-80% of my hooks too. I only use smaller spinners and lures though. Great video as always, you always have the best fishing content.

Another goodie ,love the camera work . I loved the urban fishing .

These urban trout videos are pure class mate live them tight lines

Trout have this way of slashing at the bait with their head. Often it is aggression rather than out and out feeding behaviour. With trebles it is common to foul hook them when they do that. Single hooks are definitely the way to go. Nice tip about the rear hook.

I typically fish for bass...but I love how beautiful trout are!

That Drone is amazing. Great Shots.

7:36 cracked me right up, good video as always

Beautiful markings on the trout. I wasn't aware that brown trout lived in urban areas of rivers, another cracking video, many thanks 👍

You copped a feel!! “I’ll tip her!!”🤣🤣🤣

We use a barless single hook only here in Canada BC. It is easier to release a trout. I have a lot of success with a spinner bait called a roaster tail. Strongly recommend. Good luck fishing.

Well done cracking broonies Lordy from Scotland 🐟🎣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌🏻

Love the video , as a fan of the legend John Wilson MBE RIP! you can be the next John Wilson! Your definitely going in the right direction. You deserve a fishing deal so you can fish the world so we as the viewer can enjoy more stuff from you. I love what your doing anyway mate Respect! Jc

Awesome fishing and footage as always.

That "polluted" stream looks better than most of the streams I have ever fished lol. Great stuff.

We need more trout fishing videos this season 😂. Today I went fly fishing with streamers and had a few brownies. Would love to see you fly fishing for trout 😁. Have a good one Chris!!

The brownies where I fish are darker with gold bellies and bright red spots along the sides. The trout you were catching were very silvery and look like the "slob" Trout we get in brackish water. Great video, thanks for the upload.👍

Great tip about the orientation of the backmhook on the hard bait. I’ll have to give it a try!

Flytipping - same here. maybe not major junk like your plastic corpse and moped but bad enough. Thing is, the local authority's still not restored skip sites to full operation. Only open several days/week instead of every day. Now you must make an appointment with using a trailer and if the staff feel you're making too many trailer trips then you can be barred or classed as a business user and have to mega-pay to use the place. How many trips allowed? They refuse to say... It's like the council has decided to discourage skip site use for - what reason? Covid concerns can't be used as an excuse any more. So - people fly tip since rubbish still gets generated and is now harder to dispose of because of altered council policy. They can't have it both ways!

Brilliant brilliant shows mate.... Look forward to seeing a lot more..... I much prefer seeing our sport stripped back and using the very basics. Instead of all the branding and kits on display for advertising only. I like how you explain little tips as well. Keep up the fantastic work.......

Any hole is a goal LOL you had me cracked up at that point

Nice fish tight lines for the rest of the season hope I can get some trout like the last two you got fingers crossed😊

Lure fishing for me for trout on singles is the safest way to fish them even vs the fly very low chance of killing them from deep hooking 👌

I love you videos ❤

Смотрю твой канал 👍 хорошие видео, показываешь как ловишь и на что, молодец!!!

G'day Chris, awesome Brownie mate. All the best form down under 👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

some stonkin browns at the end there i have to say!! mepps thunderbugs always go well for me and the mepps longe, top stuff mate 👍👍🎣

Nice catches ! Very good video !

Great start to the trout season! The embankment is eroding more and more each year on the river I fish and exposing rubbish oddly enough where there is a farm, can only assume some farmers over the years had dumped and cover rubbish and now its beginning to become visible. Such ashame to see. I think us wild fishermen spot see these problems more than regular folk, people don't realise the impact these problems have on our rivers.

great stuff man, you know your onions that's for sure

Strange how the bigger fish are in the urban area, I thought fishing pressure would have made it the opposite case! Great vid as always 🙌🏻

Wonderful Chris.

Good video mate. Please show us more of your setups in your videos

I’ve fished that same exact stretch I’ve had some MONSTERS right where you stood to catch it!

credit to you for going single hooks and barbless, too many people prioritise catching fish over fish welfare, if you ruin all the fish nobody gets to catch them some good fish in that wee stream, would be great on a fly but the overhead foliage would make it a nightmare!

nice video mate :)!

The rubbish is a big shame some people have no respect and no heart. Love the video and beautiful brown trout mate well done

It's may for us on the isle of man but the sea trout run the estuary near my local river and I had a 5lb 80z sea trout 34 years ago at this time of year spinning in there.

Another great vid, I enjoy pretty much all of yours! And I‘m really looking forward to you competing at the YPC Bank this year, it‘s my favourite competition to watch and I‘ll be rooting for you even though I assume fishing the Dutch waters will be a challenge for you compared to your home turf but I think you‘ll figure it out !

Great session Chris . Mad and sad to see fly tippers damaging our country and rivers .

Love your videos dude 🤜🤛

hey friend on of my fav trout lures is a small rapala countdown in rainbow trout color

Hello Chris. Been watching your videos for a while. I’m new to lure fishing. I’m learning from your videos. Just figuring out what lures to use at what time on what water. There is a lot more to it than I 1st thought. I’m getting there tho thanks for the content 👍🏻

Beautiful trouts. 🎉 It's jus sad to watch what's going on with rivers in UK in recent years. I work in Norway on contracts and I do fishing there. It's impossible to spot a single trash in Norway anywhere. UK river banks looks like .... 🗑️. sad ...but I do some fishing in UK as much as possible and there are some nice spots as well...I'm not good as you though 😂

Great content as usual. Would you ever fish working downstream?

Is it time to go to snag bro garden swim and teach them how to fish 😂

Big up mate!

I really do think all the YT Anglers need to get together and make a special each on the pollution in our rivers. Yourself, Carl, SnagBros and everyone else. At the end of the day. It has become a job or at least a means of income.

top video mate new sub loving the content keep up the great work

Matching the hatch is the only way for me.Nothing more rewarding then catching on your home made flys.

Rather you than me wading in a British river ..considering the news how much real sewage is being pumped into the rivers on a regular basis…take the Thames for example the E. coli levels is of the scale …

Beautiful trout and chub 😝

Every holes a goal 😂😂 thought i was watchin brother Dom 😊

I remember when the Teifi, one of the best salmon and sewin rivers in uk used to have fish like that in it. Now totally decimated by farming run off.

My hooked my first pike today it came off then a hour later my misses hooked it and landed it was her first one 😂😂

For over 60 years all I've ever fished for is trout. It's a pity you're not up to fishing in that way, fly and nymph. I'd like to see that. Fishing for trout with spinners and jigs is just too easy. Trout are total suckers for spinners and lures which is why they're banned on trout fisheries. You could always tie (or get someone to tie) your own rat 'streamer' which would be an interesting challenge. I'll never forget the amazing success you had fly fishing for pike and I wonder what you might attract fishing a very big streamer in that urban trout water.

I love fishing my local river for trout and grayling but unfortunately grayling are classed as course so I’ve got to wait till season starts

What a fish🎉

I went to the lakes in October years ago sea trout fishing got a massive fine i didnt know trout fishing had finished in September 😂😂😂😂😂

Ive fished down that river before river ryton barely any accessible spots however some monster trouts can be caught in it especially by the side of the park and going towards kilton area Now i fish more often down the canal some great carp can be caught 7 to 8kg and some enormous perch can be caught especially in months like july and august.

Already a banger

Great video , i do a bit of this fishing up north ,interested in using single hooks , seems much better on the fish , may i ask the size that you use please

those buildings in the background are unique. Everyone within 5 miles of that bit o water has been down there with nets dynamite and Symag.... that big fish was eaten.

Mr gingerfisher man , trout are a good looking fish . Roughly what area of the country are you ?. Good session.

Would love to catch trout but there isn't any down in the waveney River in norfolk ,well as far as I know I don't think there are.

Do you use a fluro leader or do you tie the braid directly to the swivel mate ?

Oi Oi what’s up gang 🎣

5:45 got me 🤣😂🤣

So sad to see the fly-tipping in such a small body of water. I'm always picking up other people rubbish and disposing of it responsibly when out fishing.

5:30 Chris acting like he just stumbled across that

Where I am in Kent, it is dry fly only. Not the end of the world I suppose, but I would prefer to be able to use lures.

Hello there, I've left a message on your previous video, where you caught the 21.8 Lb pike. Could you tell me which reel and line you were using on that session, please. with the Westin W4 rod Thanks

What i do to improve hook ups on singles is use my pliers and cock the point of the hook out to the side a little. Some hooks are straight inline with the shank of the hook. I believe this helps or use siwash hooks that already have a side bend in the hook

I am so jealous. Up here they are so picky with their food it is really hard to get them to bite on anything else then flies.
