EASY FISHING. A walk by a beautiful small river on a sunny afternoon. 

What better way to get some exercise in the fresh air than having a walk by the river! Also this is a great time to spot fish and likely swims! Great anglers like Terry Hearn spend hours looking for fish and where they feed and it's something I try to do. Now I'm too old to be climbing trees but it is a great way to spot fish! Instead i just walk beside the river and around lakes keeping a sharp lookout for signs of fish. Polarised glasses help immensely. Most anglers would benefit by investing time doing this, so if you get the chance take a walk by the river or lake and keep your eyes peeled. Bill

Look idillic Bill. A most welcome video to watch 🤩 MJ87 also has a whet appetite 🎣

Hello Bill, check out the local history. The pool down from the bridge. Well those old slabs in the pool were once part of a Saxon mill. The river there ten years past was in much better order. About 9 years ago the EA in their 'great wisdom' decided that the river could be a cause of terrible flood. So, to save the village they widened it and stripped just about all the bankside vegetation, leaving it like a featureless ditch. As a consequence, the level dropped 4-6 inches, which on a little waterway like that, is a considerable amount.

Lovely Bill,good to see you out getting some exercise and vitamin D ! And why not!!

Wow what a fantastic short journey we'll put together can't wait to see you fishing some of those excellent swims. Take care my friend

Great video bill thanks for uploading good to see you out and getting abit of exercise stay safe hopfuly we be all back on the banks soon

Glad to see you out and about. Stay safe :-)

Cheers Bill. Stuck in my house,like many others,but you've given me something to watch and reminded me how I should approach a new venue.👍

Helo bill lovely little river that hole ur keeping well with all the madness going on and me and my sons looking forward to u next fishing trip all the best tight lines ....

Superb little spot Bill, can't wait to see the video when you get the rod out and explore. Keep safe and keep on enjoying life. Would love to see more videos like this, thank you for sharing, keep up the good work mate! Chris.

What a lovely stretch of water Bill... looking forward to seeing you catch some lovely fish there once we’re all back to normal again... take care and stay well Bill...

Very nice stretches of water. You’re fortunate it’s so close to home. David South Carolina

Nice stretch mucca plenty of spots to hold fish hope u keeping well

Smashing that was Bill, nice change from the norm. Stay safe👍🏻

Can't wait to be back on the bank, hopefully in time for June 16th. Will make it even more special! Stay safe Bill.

just like my favourite Rea brook, keep well Bill.

Brilliant bill great video .river looks lovely .will be interesting to see what fish it holds 👍

Great video Bill and there are people fishing on the canals I've seen them and not just one or two they are in distant pegs but come as a shock to see them and few told me baliffs had checked there licences..and let them carry on lucky them.

That river looks delightful, lets hope you will be able to fish it when the season starts, I rather think unlikely with the current situation. Im getting a bit tired of gardening , begining to feel like that graham on the: right move ad lol!

Certainly enough water going through there to make it worthwhile fishing, looks lovely. Being on an enforced break certainly helps you realise what you sometimes take for granted. I can't wait to get back on the bank, hopefully it won't be too far away!

Thanks for that, I’m foaming again the mouth now 😂😂😂 In all fairness that looks a lovely river that would hold all species. You lucky fella 👍

Lovely bit of water Bill and good to see you out and about. Had the same thought this morning and had a short (2 miles) cycle to a bridge over my local river (Bristol Avon) and watched a shoal of very good sized chub for about half an hour . . bliss. Stay safe mate. 👍

A lovely little stream that Bill, it certainly does scream fish. I hope you're able to get on it soon.

Lovely Day lovely walk

Nice video Bill I’m getting itchy fingers guess I have to wait take care tight lines 👍👌🇬🇧

Enjoyed our walk together along the stream ...Thanks Bill

you can see now everyone if these water ways and streams were cleaned out more often flooding would not be a problem also lovely fishing venue to teach the younger children of today about wild life and not getting into trouble. you never see dredging going on these days it was a common sight in my younger days i think you would agree Bill until next time keep safe and happy Easter to your wife and family.

Can’t wait to see you fish this stream

Hope it doesn't jump to our fishy friends, stay safe you I'd bloody miss the fishing vids. You n the Mrs stay safe. Ps didn't mean stay safe so we get to watch you fish I meant we would miss you too. Big time

What a beautiful place, Bill. Can just imagine long trotting a chubber float on the centrepin. Keep well.

Thx for the clip mate just love it Grts from belgium 🇧🇪

Hi, another excellent and thought provoking video, albeit i’m a little late in viewing it. Pressures of gardening and painting. My morning walk takes me past Dromod Harbour, a freshwater harbour on Lough Bofin, part of the Shannon, its usually full of boats by Easter, its now empty. I also have the River Elwy passing through about 200 yards away, you have prompted me into further investigation. I have told you my wife, Val enjoys your vlogs but this one she was over the moon about, why ??? The Bluebell snapshot, we usually see them over here but not this year, she loves them as they they remind her of childhood in Holywell, Flintshire.. Take Care, Phil

Thanks Bill.. Nice to see some fresh water.. Look out my window and its the river mersey..👍💙

What a lovely spot. Looks like it would be great for pike....possibly even brown trout?

Looks like a great river, would be all the better for a bit of river management. At least we can go for walks in groups of three or less.

Confined since March 9, in France it is 180 Euros if you go for a walk without a reason. Thank you very much for these beautiful images its feels good See you soon Alain

thank you for your videos , i like it very mutch . greets from germany Uli

I am missing fishing 😢😢 can’t wait to get back out

stop billy your torturing us lol, that place looks amazing and should produce some great content when safe too

Once again my friend what a better way to lift us all out of this lockdown you should arrange a day out with you and anyone that is happy to provide a donation to the NHS for a days fishing with you I'de be quite be happy to do it

Looks nice there bill don't understand why we cant go fishing as ..you hardly ever see anyone down the canal

Lovely river with a bit of TLC it could be a great river with plenty of swims.

Hi there River Hiz does contain brown trout but desperately needs dredging!

Echo all your thoughts Bill.

Bill which river is this? Great video as ever. Stay safe.

Thanks Bill. Will keep me going 👍

3 months since most comments were left, have you fished this small river yet, i would lv to see the video if you have...take care mate..

I can't understand the ban on all recreational fishing, let's face it fishing is a perfect pastime for social distancing. Anglers are always very respectful of a fellow angler's personal space

Hi Bill. You really do try to make any aspect of fishing enjoyable, even in times like this ! Good on you mate I watch everything you post and enjoy every single one of them !!!

I'm curious as to why you've never fished it before Bill, seeing as it's so local to you.

Great video as usual. I've only been fishing for 6 months and only on the Droitwich Canal, so this might sound a daft question to you... If you find a lovely spot like this & reasonable enquiries over who owns any fishing rights come up blank, is it legal to just go ahead and fish? (Especially if you have a few quid on you in case a bailiff turns up). Many thanks.

M8 i had a mirror carp on , but my hook broke 😱😭 never seen 1 befor or see a fisherman catch on i had him on a 3M telescope with 16 nylon . What kind off small hooks do u use for white fish ?

Similar to a burn near where i am ...

I hope the environment agency don't see this video as they will cut back all the vegetation and totally ruin fishing to increase water flow. Seen this happen to our local brook and stretches of the river Derwent. Then it totally kills fishing for at least 2 years. Nice to see your well. Hoping everything gets better by June 16th. Take care and be safe to all viewers.

Can't beat it Bill..!!! stay safe...( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) and thank you...

hey bill it would be worth taking some bread and sweet corn down throw some on the surface and squeeze some bread so it sinks to the bottom you often see fish appear from nowhere ,and it gives a good indication as to what to use on june 16th god willing or later if covid 19 is still about ,well bill keep safe you and yours and thanks for that taste of things to come fingers and toes crossed,tight lines,,

Looks lovely but who owns the fishing rights? Not free i bet

What river is that bill
