I Hiked HOURS to Fish this Mountain Lake... (CRAZY ending!) 😯 

Thank you very much for watching! The BRAND NEW Adventure Fishing online store is now live, I’d massively appreciate it if you could check it out! www.adventurefishinguk.com/

Great video.! Even better to see you feature my mug shot with a schelly. Brought back some happy memories of my many hikes up there

Class video as usual, the underwater footage is unreal such a cool perspective.

Excellent mate 👍🏻👍🏻

I am glad your ankle is well! Great video and the new underwater footage is a great addition! You do a great job on the video's with spectacular scenery! Thank You!

Fantastic video thanks! 👍

awesome inspiretional video. going fishing tomorrow now for sure. ❤

Respect mate, the places you get to are amazing. You deserved that fish and that pool looked amazing. great experience. Love the underwater shots too. Well done buddy.

Brilliant video chap!

Great video 👍👍👍

Lovely video!

The camera quality is awesome well worth a sub 😀

I have fished the tarn in the video quite a number of times and have camped there on occasion as well. There’s not a lot of food in the tarns and the trout rely a lot on terrestrial flies getting blown onto the water and using small dark flies in size 14 and 16 tend to work better than spinning or bait fishing. In fact there is a saying of using any fly of your choice as long as it’s black and you won’t go far wrong, but if possible fish in a ripple or wave.

This, was brilliant🤝

very nice, reminds me of my days in the infantry,bathing every 3 daysin small brooks, no matter how foul or cold the weather was, great vid and a very good sceenery!

Great content as always, ever thought about an overnight stop up there kind of Hiking/Camping/Fishing trip.

The creature: Could well be a leech, but the size is hard to guess - it looks a bit like a buzzer. Possibly a water beetle or dragonfly larvae. If I had to make a choice, I'd say it was a flatworm - Planarian. Nice video, and good on you for jumping in. Pheeew!

Great video. That critter at the end looked a lot like a midge pupa. Though it seemed a bit on the big side.

Great video as always! Glad to hear your a ankle is doing ok. I have to say, looks you have lost loads of weight. Must be all the hiking!

Nice one George that certainly was a good workout hike. Not so sure about the swimming tho but fair play in that freezing water. The views were amazing as was the underwater film. Well done on the trout too 😊😊😊😊

Loved this 😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Absolutely love the vids, I admire your patience I’d of thrown the rod into the water and left for home along time ago, all that hiking in a beautiful place for 1 trout, raging 😂

keep up the good work...

Nice one glad i subscribed 👍

Great video, thanks for sharing, was it a tadpole?

Epic walk, so that's dedication 👏. Try sending out a camera with a pike rod. Use a free running bung, so it lifts up off the bottom on retrieval 😊

Hard to get a perspective on size but I am pretty sure that is what us fly fisherman call a buzzer - making its way to the surface to hatch. Great vlog, well done !

Great adventure, but where are the hiking sticks after your last trip? Enjoyed the underwater coverage, what a great idea, hope you can do more. Was the mystery fish a baby eel? I think there are some mountain tarns in ths Scottish highlands, but i suspect they only have trout

This is what youtube is all about!

Absolutely amazing video as always💯 where exactly is this lake and what the name?

A really great video as always. I`m really interested in these Skellies as I have never heard of them before and wonder if you could give a little bit of background info on them? i.e. are they unique to the lake district or can they be found in Scottish Lochs, are they related to Trout or Char or maybe they are a course fish? That creature you were asking about in your underwater footage looked like a freshwater leech or something of that ilk as I used to do a bit of diving in lakes and rivers in my younger days.

Great video George

Would love to see you chuck the camera in buttermere 😍 so many perch caught but it would be good to see if there is any pike there aswell.

Smashing video George, you really do put the efforts in. Keep up the great content mate😊

I love the idea of the compact rod but worry about the reliability of it. only ever used 2 piece.

Watched vid, liked it, watch a few more vids, liked them also, watched vid on the van, 👍, dammit, subscribed 😁.

Thank you, very interesting

I fished Red Tarn for a two day trip (camping overnight) in 1986 and again in 1987. I caught 36 trout up to 12oz and one skelly on the float with maggots. The skelly was caught high in the water late on a still, warm evening. They smell of linseed oil! To be honest, you were silly to go up there fishing without a tent. If the weather closes in you need to be able to stay put.

Great video George 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

The lake 'monster' at the end was a hatching chironomid, an insect larvae, Trout's favourite food, the larvae hatches from it's egg on the lake floor, rises up through the water to the surface, where it hatches out into a winged insect and flies away, Trout will eat them at every stage, and will even eat the 'shuck' (casing) that is left behind after the insect flies away! these are the reason for the Trout 'topping' on the water.

Minus the Costa plug cracking video.

I've subscribed, was it a Tadpole?

Top video loved it and nice clean healthy fish ❤

I broke my ankle up a mountain fishing once. Had to crawl in snow for about 3 mikes back to the car then press the clutch with my busted ankle foot and drive to the hospital in Bangor. That was bad!!

Superb, G Dog! Youve got some bottle mate going in there, with that hike back. Great video, mate. The scenery is just next level!

You had a nice bit of colour in your face on the way down,wonder why lol, top video as usual bud

Wow. I've not seen a great white loonfish in a mountain stream for years.

My bet is a Dragonfly emergence ! Looks like a Mousetail lure which imitates this. Trout love them ❤

Almost had heart attack just watching it! Steep doesn’t quite give it justice! But what a location! Wow! Another great upload as always! Thanks George!

Great video like the underwater film nice to have more 👍

A friend of mine helped recover a WW2 mosquito fighter bomber out of there in the early 90s and fun fact its believed monks put the skelly in there hundreds of years ago they are also a different colour in the lake at the bottom of the mountain those ones are bright silver

Jesus George, my gonads shrunk during that dip! Good effort, lovely trout, hopefully the scallion? next time.

Im going to plan a trip up there , awesome dude.

Ullswater used to have a lot of skellies in, don't know about nowadays, saw a lot dead after spawning about 30 years ago, a local told us about them as we didn't know anything at all.

Great video! Fantastic! I loved it. True pioneering spirit. Pete 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

fished this the other day its class

that water look really cold lol

Mate please do a video with one of you’re subscribers I think this would be a wicked idea 💡 Dunno 🤷🏻‍♂️ what everyone else thinks??

Me an a mate jumped off the side into that pool though I was having heart attack it was that cold 😂🥶👍

Excalibur blade, at the bottom.of that tarn... Interesting footage anglers are getting of late. Fly fishing will be met with more success I feel

looks like a blood worm, good footage pal

Greay video George. Very interesting with the x3 underwater. Looks ike some sort of larve at the end possibly dragon fly?

Awesome vid. One of these days you should fish the creek coming off the lake. Keep em coming. Thanks for sharing

We do not call water in the mountains in Scotland, in the lake district of course a lake.

Well Done man! Always enjoy your Content. Can’t wait to see more Underwater Footage 🍻👊🏻

Well done. Your persistence payed off you worked hard for that trout. Stunning lake and location.

Great video!

Glad that your ankle is better, perhaps it isn't a good idea to do things like that alone though, if you'd really damaged your ankle badly it would have taken months for it to have healed and you'd have had to be rescued. When I did mine it took over a year for the swelling to subside. Can't think why on earth you went swimming there, don't think that any sane person would do it!! You should have fished that pool instead, I bet that there's lots of good fish in it. Keep them coming.

Highest piece water in the Uk is Loch Etchachan in the Cairngorms, 3041 feet above sea level…..

A big tadpole maybe

Hello mate I started pike fishing only in December I'm only in my early teens I've only ever fished rivers but I would like to give the canal you fish a crack what's the name off it mate ?

Where is this?

I am guessing it begins with E, been on that edge many times in deep snow (years ago and dangerous). Also been up there on a horse :-)

Some kind of Larvae but thats a pure guess, i hope someone in the comments knows. Could you mention it in the next video if you find out?

i reckon it was a sea horse

That thing could have been a tadpole or a lava of some sort

The creature was a chironomid (midge) on the way to the surface to hatch.

Could be a tadpole

tadpole ?

Water a wee bit cold was it? 😂

Tadpole

It may have already been said in the comments, so apologies if it’s been duplicated. But having watched the video and saw the time running out for you. What would be awesome, and again I appreciate it’s hard with a 2 year old at home, but I was thinking it would be cool to have a camping video too, setting a tent up and some night fishing and early morning breakfast making on a camp stove :) 😊

At the end it’s a tadpole

It was a t rex

Was the mystery creature a leech?

I am so glad I found your channel. Love your content. And I like how you don't give up. Do you know who also doesn't give up, on you? He is someone who Loves you so much. Remember where you jumped into the water and you said something about "Living"? Well, we are never truly alive without "him". Please take just a couple of minutes to continue reading. It could possibly a the biggest, best decision you'll ever make, if you decide right. Our Blessed Hope, our Savior Jesus Christ. Do you know him? Do "you", ("whoever" is reading this), know Jesus? Even more, are you "Saved"? If Jesus were to return today, "now", would you be ready? Are you ready? That is the one question that you, and everyone, better know the answer to, because that is the most important decision you will ever make. Jesus is the "ONLY WAY TO SALVATION". There is no other way, "none". This "life" that you are living now, is a "limited" existence. The life after this is "ETERNAL", which brings us to another question: "Where do you want to spend eternity?" Well, you have only "two" choices: either "HEAVEN" or "HELL"! Not everyone will go to Heaven and likewise not everyone will go to Hell. It's your choice! It's always been your choice. Have you ever wondered why we all don't go to Heaven? Well, it's because of just one thing. But that "one" thing "separates" us all from God, and that one thing, is "SIN"! We are all born into sin, everyone is, and the Bible says that the wages (penalty) of sin is "Death". You see, because of our sins, when we all die, we are all "eternally separated" from God. But you know what? God Loves you so much that he made a way for you, for all of us. The Bible also teaches us that even though the penalty (wages) for our sins is death, we can gain SALVATION (a GIFT FROM GOD) through his only begotten son, Jesus Christ. God made a way! He sacrificed his only son, for "you"! That's how much he Loves you. ROMANS 6:23 kjv For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Here's the GOOD NEWS, (THE GOSPEL) Jesus took your sins and paid your sin debt in full. He took all your sins, past, present and future, to the Cross, shed his Blood and literally DIED for your sins, was buried and then God raised him from the dead three days later. Anyone who believes in the finished work of Jesus Christ will be Saved. That's THE GOSPEL (which means GOOD NEWS). 1 CORINTHIANS 15:1-4 kjv 15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. He paid the price so you don't have to. Jesus is the ONLY ONE who could. He is the ONLY WAY. JOHN 14:6 kjv 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. God gives you, all of us, this "GIFT", because he Loves you. How much does God Love you? Well, let me ask you this: "Could you sacrifice your only child?" That is exactly what our Heavenly Father did. He gave (sacrificed) his only begotten son, Jesus, for "you", for the "WHOLE WORLD"! JOHN 3:16-18 kjv 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Please, don't let Gods "sacrifice" (for you) be in vain. Jesus "died" for you. Please "Live" (eternally) for him.

Costa ad im out

Great video. But please don’t encourage trout fishing with maggots. They can’t digest them. And kills the fish

Right, I have subscribed like you asked!! now I want you to take a look at a little loch up on the isle of mull. They call it crater loch and it is in the top of an long extinct volcano (or so I'm told). I have never seen anyone fishing it but its a beautiful lock and a old local chap told me that him and his dad used to go up there when he was a kid and caught some proper nice brownies. he said they were very nice fish. Its a bit of a treck but nothing too bad although betting to mull from where you are is a long trip (But get out your comfort zone). But well worth the effort as mull itself is beautiful with the many eagles and dear as well as other wildlife that you will see. It would make for a great video as there is a lot of interest in the isle of mull and very few people know about that lock. They film the show Balamory on mull and is a very popular little island. My family had a house there for 15years and I miss it very much.
