Micro Cranks Get Demolished In Tiny Stream! 

Hope you guys enjoyed this one. Just thought i'd mention my new rubber mesh full carbon net (fancy i know) just turned up. As well as my replacement single hooks for these baits ready for the next time i target these wild brownies!

Just rewatching some older videos when this pops up! Nice!

Been out doing loads of sessions like this, it's quickly becoming my favourite way of catching fish! Nice trout catches!

Awesome session Chris. I think you had the right lure, right weather and right venue there. A perfect storm for a brilliant day.☺ Those brownies look absolutely stunning with their colours. Well done mate.👍

Absolutely brilliant content! Why on earth do people give this a thumbs down? Ignore the wakes, more of the same please!! Great channel!

Been a carp fisherman for around 20 years but hung up my kit some 10years ago due to work commitments. Decided to come back to the sport but rather than for carp i went spinning for pike instead... Unfortunately there are none to be had in my local canals and rivers so I built another kit for small lures like these for perch. Your videos have been a wealth of knowledge even though you might have been actually teaching anything. Just watching you fishing is a lesson in itself!

I always love your videos but I have to say these are the sorta ones I mainly like just so peaceful and therapeutic good work buddy

UL fishing is so much fun, love the videos 👍🏼

G... D... im getting addicted from your movies! Great movie TX!

Chris I've been watching your videos since you were singing in bathrooms. I love all of them. But this by far has been the best one. What a top class session. Super fish handling as well. Top notch man.

Great vid: this tiny stream holds excellent trout!!!

Crackin trout from a little river. Awesome days fishing. So jealous 🤣🤣👍👍

Its amazing how u catch those fish in these shallow waters !!!

Great video! Love the trout bites/attacks! Welldone Chris!

These trout behave more like piranha than what I'm used to. So lucky to have access to such spots

no one else fishing ! Fantastic !

I have never seen a smaller river and I have never seen so many beautiful brown trout, but in this video ... beautiful ... :))

The trout put up a good fight .. I enjoyed every minute of that video.

Good video Love fishing for wild trout

I love coming down to my spot seeing them casting on there heads and seeing the take love it

High jinks with the trout fishing...very atmospheric..

Those trout look awesome 👍

I used to fly fish a tiny stream like this in Co Durham, I used a 6 foot 4 weight fly rod, catching almost every cast on dry, no false casts, right and left handed casting, spent more time in the trees than on the water! loved the challenge more than anything else, bought the rod for the stream, real back to basics, you vs fish!

I think you handle the fish really well and clearly take it very seriously. If you are getting smart ass comments criticising you, they might just be trolls. Keep doing what you’re doing, Chris!

Brilliant video ging 👌some real nice brownies caught there to keep them cumin bro love it 👍

Top video pal thanks for sharing 👍😀

I invite you to become a honourary Scotsman. You have the hair, nailed the accent and your Glasgow kiss is on point. Call them broonies and your in😂

Nothing better than hooking a brook/river trout... Nice one, Nuff said!. 🙂

Brown trout is the most beautiful fish for sure. More vids like this pls :)

I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who shakes my lures about to untangle them 👌🏼😂

Superb Video Thank You.

Wow you caught a bunch of beauties. Loved this!

Really enjoyed that Chris - cracking size fish on light tackle - 👍

In the summer, terrestrials and the Rebel Crickhopper as an imitation would be murder. A floating, lipped grasshopper imitation. Twitch and drift over the target along overgrown banks, BOOM! Surface strikes!

Hey Chris, i enjoy this session too! What a nice trout man, here we can't catch them in the wild, makes me sad cause they're nice wild kind of fish, like them! Till the next vid mate 👍🥇

Great, best video by far! Cool👍

Not long till the rivers re open now ginge can’t wait to get after them summer pike

Looks great fun mate awesome video well done 👏

Great video again. Best make sure you get back in time I was back several hours late after my last pike session and was in the doghouse for a while 🤣

I'm not a huge fan of trout but those browns are such beautiful fish. When I used to catch the odd one as a kid it was always a red letter day!

ABSOLUTELY beautiful fish ! You should make your way over here to Alaska! Fall Dolly Varden are really colorful too. Going King salmon fishing tomorrow... live the videos as always, cheers!

Some beautiful trout Chris well done pal yeah a rubber net is one of the best things I've bought as it is alot easier to land the fish in the net and not get the hooks hung up most time's anyways ye always get a odd hook that will get stuck but no were near as much as a fabric one best of luck Chris love the videos pal keep them coming 💯👌🔥

I'd say you had a very good day there pal.. you just dont want days like that to end 👍

Cracking video well done

Would love to see you come down to the Midlands for some Zander fishing!

Some stunning fish there and I would love to do something like this all the best for your next session I'm counting down the days until then river opens and doing a night or two opening night Hopefully get my first river carp this season aswell

a great dat fishing!!!! a hi-five form America!!

some really nice trout

Nice one 👍

Well done on making a career out if fishing I've been catching some nice high single finger pike on deadbaits on my local.camal in Scotland having so much fun before the weed destroys the fishing on our canal for bait fishing anyway might take up lure fishing this year

Haha no way , just got back from a session with that exact bait ( white colour ) and smashed the trout , keep the vids coming , tight lines !!

What a day :)

Would be good to see u fly fishing the stream 👍

Awesome Trout Chris, well chuffed aren't you 😂. All the best from Downunder 👍

Top vid well done m8

Good job👍👍

Them rapalas are great stuff!

In our country in the Czech Republic, we have crushed barbs on trout raviers with hooks and triple hooks, and the fish gets rid of the bait better. Even from the landing net, the lures are better removed.

Those ones at the end were awesome…. I highly doubt too many fish in there, too difficult that’s why they hit so easily. There’s likely the odd 5 pounder under a bank in there, but they are picky eaters, hard too catch by day. The biggest browns often come out at night,

What a prolific session! Brilliant stuff. Where abouts are you in the country Chris? Not looking for specifics obviously! Was going to suggest a rubber net, I got one for my trout fishing and it's been great. Tight lines.

You hammered em 😉👍 have a go at up stream wet fly I promise its bloody good 😉👍🎣🎣🎣

you want to do some searchin into BFS mate if you havent done so already thatll be bob on for these trout videos its ultra light baitcasting under 3/4 grams some lures and spinners weighing less than 1g ! its a technique popular in japan that the uk have adapted and made BFS UK Style which ranges 3.5g-8g which is bob on for jacks, perch and chubb but traditionally the Bait Finesse System (Reel and Rod) when paired correctly you can cast very low weights very very far distance with just a flick of your wrist !

The one around 20 mins ish is a good eater size 👌🏻

I've never considered eating anything that I've caught but my sons mate is a bit wild and he gutted and prepared a trout that we caught, fried in a bit of butter it was the nicest fish I've ever had. Didn't taste remotely fishy and it melted in your mouth. Must have been 20 minutes from river to plate

Great.

What big camera are you on? Footage is crispy! Love these small stream videos btw

have you got any tips on how to find streams/creeks like this that are populated with trout ? how do you find such good locations ! thanks

I know somewhere on the river Calder near Copley that you would be able to catch massive brown and rainbow trout, grayling, chubb and even barrel.

I get a great sense of achievement from catching that caliber of trout with my little Shakespear 6foot fly rod and a tiny size 16 dry fly. A totally different experience, different mindset, deep content.

What rod and reel were you using? Such a simple way of fishing and a great vid as always.

Nice video. Just wondering, do you cut the third hook from the treble or replace it with a double? I feel a bit guilty using treble hooks and have considered doing the same.

Great bit of fishing! I know trout are in season Chris but the rest aren't - how on earth do you not get perch/ chub taking the lure? Same stretches of predator water being fished. Not accusing you of fishing out of season but genuinely puzzled.

Do they do an XR2 ?? If so does it come with pepper pots ???😂😂👍🏻 just a 90s joke there 😂👍🏻 great video again Chris ....thanks for the superb content as always 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻

theres not a fish alive that isnt a good sized fish to the ginger fisherman lol love the vids

Nice to see that super giant hornet eventually left you alone mate!

Massive ginger beard! "Men Only" beard fertilizer?

Brilliant what's the set up your using

Love your videos, but do you not use barbless hooks?

Anyone who has doubted that there can be love between humans and fish: Here is the counter-evidence.

That looks so fun, properly jealous. Wouldnt be able to resist bringing one of the bigger ones home for supper tbh. Crank open a good French Chardonnay and your good to go

Pozdrawiam serdecznie i życzę miłego dnia

I have a question. When I do this should I cast upstream? Does it make a difference?

👍

Hi Chris, great video mate, a quick question from a fairly newbie here: why were you annoyed when you sat you rod down and the reel went in the water? did it cause you issues after? did you need to do some sort of maintenance after the session- if so what? OK so that was more than a quick question 😆 just curious, I could maybe see an issue if it was saltwater but I thought fresh water would be ok? I thought it would just be a hazard of the sport and they would be built with this in mind. please excuse my ignorance.

get a rubber trout net mate :) will save you from those hook problems

what reel are you using? is that michell mag pro?

Upstream dry fly for wild browns 👍🏻👍🏻. The only way 👍🏻. Hunt them. Not prospecting.

Trout are wicked fish to catch you can catch them on bread and big bunches of dead maggot or live maggot they love big worms as well

It does make you wonder about fly fishing's "match the hatch" philosophy when the litle buggers will go for anything.

I can't get used to you calling them jerk/crank bates they always used to be called plugs in England. You're very fortunate to have permission to fish that stream they're usually all owned by closed syndicates.

Clicked so fast lol

I need to get some chesties

Do you ever keep any ?

Girlfriend, your not kidding anyone ;)

I have the same rod, it turned out well. Fishing lock.

It only counts on fly ☝🤣🤣🤣

What rods this matey the 0.5-6g

Hey. Im sorry that im asking but can you Tell me what rod is it? Tight Lines!

I caught over 100 trout this year and I haven’t touched one. I have seen people say that touching them isn’t ideal. I simply remove the hook in my net and place my net right back into the water to let the fish go. 👍🏼

Well it appears you don't need a fly cast reel to catch a trout,.......I have never caught one around me,......because I don't think they occur naturally here. But shit shiners and shad are fun for me.
