A challenging session on a warm breezy day in the height of summer... we go sight fishing for chub in crystal clear water on the River Chelmer in Essex #fishing #riverfishing #chubfishing
Lovely little video that And great effort then chub are dirty fighters It wasn’t easy for us to put chelmer chub on the mat either especially on lures So cautious in that clear water All the best mates see you around some time 👊🏻
Took three fish to snap you up before you realised you were “undergunned”? So that’s three left with hooks in.. turned it off at that point, embarrassing.
Planning to do a little fly fishing on the river with some coarse flies. Not knowing the area, anywhere you'd recommend for some November stalking? Also are there bailiffs around or do you pay for your ticket in a spect tackle shop?
We fished the hoe mill lock area i think it's called, just a couple of trips during summer so I'm not sure about autumn form, probably best to stay mobile and move about until you find the fish. As for tickets, the sign there says day tickets can be bought on the bank. Best of luck!
@@thewatercolumnchannel that's whats great about fly fishing, very mobile, no seats and £1000 of gear on tripods. Will let you know how I get on. Ideally looking for a few small pike, but any fish is great
@@Johnnyalexwales Absolutely, always fancied getting into the fly fishing myself... look forward to hearing how it goes for you, there are certainly plenty of jacks about
The River Colne runs through Colchester. I've never fished it though, so I don't know if it's any good for chub fishing, you'd have to do a bit of research :-)
Great place to fish but the rest of the canal is full of poxy unlicensed paddle boarders who don't pay like me to use the canal for fishing..I was there today and had a load of the C's go straight past me without even an apology.
