THIS Is Why You Fish a River In FLOOD! 

Make sure you check out the latest episode of the YPC UK here! Also my first episode will be aired on Sunday! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RbnEED2SYV8.htmlsi=rK2zOUb-3VXqatPf

I must admit I’ve struggled to get my head round fishing the floods around where I live this year but watching you I now know I should get my arse out and stop complaining about it , fantastic video 👍

I've been angling my whole life, you've really raised the bar with coloured water lure fishing and opened my eyes to so many missed opportunities. 👍

You are one of the best fisherman I've seen . I pove your videos

Hey Chris. Fished in the UK 2 years ago. Caught one of my bucket list. Double figure Pike on the River Nene. Thanks for a great show.

Bonjour , c'était excellent 👏

I love your videos mate. All the negative stuff happening in the world and all the worries about life and work in general get put on pause when I play one of your videos. So thank you, keep going and I hope you keep getting more success and popularity or whatever it is you’re after (other than fish).

The Ginger fisherman makes Matt Hayes look like a beginner

Some lovely fish Chris ,Amazing what you can catch in coloured water.

I appreciate the effort you put into the visual quality as well as the action.

Thanks for proving it's worth fishing in conditions like that, I have always avoided doing that thinking it wouldn't be worthwhile, I am glad to be proven wrong.

I will be cheering U on in the ypc banks from my balcony in Jamaica 🇯🇲🇩🇪can't wait🙏🏼😎💪🏽

Great content, well done. Lovely stuff ❤️🎣

Oh man! Some cracking fish. Well done mate, appreciate the insight and inspiration

Those are beautiful baits. They work very well! Good job and thanks !

Brilliant Chris really enjoyed that

Hey Chris, love your videos. Actually i started fishing small streams because of you. They brought me some great perches before :DD

Absolutely loved this video keep it up Chris 👍

Love the content, I grew up in County Mayo, Ireland and love the Pike, perch, chub, barbel, etc.

Awsome video Chris. cant wait for sunday tournement video good luck🐊🎣

More cracking fish thank you for sharing again good luck in the competition I will be rooting for you

Great video thanks Chris🤘

Thank you for the videos! You inspired me to start fishing for Pike & Perch, still looking to improve my lure fishing however. Keep the videos up :D

What a perfect day!!! Congrats to you for doing the right thing in conditions where others stay at home :)) Always a pleasure to watch your chanel . Tight lines from Germany

Awesome session

Wow😳that was great session mate🐟🦈👍you are doing a fantastic job👌

Some really lovely fish chris 👍

Some fat Perch there! 🔥 Well done Chris!

Really cool video!

Great episode ❤❤❤❤❤

Come on chris looking forward to seening you win🎣🙂🙏God willing

Seen you use them trolling and had some big pike on them.cracking lures and wellmade .b3st of luck to all how enters .top pize and top lad..

Mans smashing it 🙏🎣

Some crackin perch there m8 good session 👍🍺

An eye-opener for a lot of people, including me. When my landing net fell overboard (un-noticed) I put a half filled plastic bottle in the river and followed it downstream. When it hit a flood raft there was my landing net beside it.

A fantastic session, well done. You really need a longer handled net. I followed your link about those lures and was astonished how expensive they were, many times above my price range. I make all my own.

Some cracking perch and pike there buddy small rivers in flood present some great opportunities for predator fishing I’ve had some of my best sessions for predators from flooded rivers and my best ever barbel session from a rising river which included a twenty pound carp four double figure barbel and two six pound plus chub people should never ignore a flooded river but always be careful as a flooded river takes no prisoners

Some great fish there, 👍👍👍.

Good sesh Chris. Some lovely Perch AND you didn't lose your net either. Bonus!😀

Awesome fishing mate 👏 rooting for you in the competition, go smash it

Can't wait to watch this one to see how you approach these conditions , but ill watch on the big screen just here to leave a comment and excited to see you fish ypc

Cracking video and been watching the comp your in and from what I've seen and this video today you should smash it can't wait to watch your first round

Great video as always. Not sure who falls over more at the minute you or Bob Mortimer 🤣.

Love you're video's watching from Ireland 🇮🇪 hope you win 🏆

Absolutely stunning Perch in conditions I wouldn't normally look at (I will now) - Epic

Great vid, I fully expected for the end of the video to come and you say you lost your new net.

Wow. That’s a decent perch. One for the pan❤

Can't wait to see u WIN THE TOURNAMENT BUDDY GREAT VIDEO AND CLASS PERCH CARCHING BRO

Best of luck I’ll be watching you and I’m up for you man con from Ireland 🇮🇪

Quality mate 👍

Oy Mr Ginger fisherman that was great again but don't forget one slip in heavy water could be your last! Safety first especially when you're on your own!

These past few weeks on my local River Nene (just to the west of Peterborough) have been difficult and I've been trying to find slack water when the main river's up several feet.... Still catching a few Perch though (nothing big apart from a 27cm and a 29cm), but did get a bonus 8.5lb Pike on a 2" Fox Micro Fry 3g jig (fluoro leader) at a lock......Bit of a fight when it got in the flow but got her out.....2-12g rod and 1000 reel stuff. Been lure fishing since I was a kid back in the '70's and always blanked in flooded and coloured water....Channels like yours and other anglers on RU-vid have certainly made me think a lot more, which is what it's all about in my opinion. I hadn't fished for 12 years until a year ago and have learnt so much in a short space of time....The joy for me is that I've not blanked a lot this season so far and I put it down to using the old grey matter in my head due to blokes like yourself.....Keep up the good work.

Absolute smashed it again Chris, although you've started falling over as much as Bob Mortimer 🤣 good luck in the YPC

Ask santa for a set of spring scales and get rid of the digital ones. They will always let you down and they'll let you down when you have a pb. They don't give you a correct weight in the cold either. Great vid bud just get a proper set of scales 👍🏻

You will win the comp Chris come on 👊❤️

Wow what a session matey. Wish. I’d have seen this last week went to my local river last week in similar conditions and thought waste of time and went back home. 🙈 never to old to learn am I 🥴😂👍🏻

Really great video, Chris. So exciting to watch. You need to offer your services to Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse in their 'Gone Fishing' series, as they struggle to catch every time. Nice manly banter though...

Banger as always

I feel like we did get perch that big in the states!!

Hi i love your Videos there so exciting ❤

I’ve always avoided flood waters since once trying as a teenager. (I’m now 49) But these were some great perch and nice pike!

You’ve got the win in the bag😂

Good day out!

Super video great fish from a river of chocolate ...oompa loompa !

Chris you are by far the best angler on you tube without doubt ,i have binge watched all your uploads from back in the days 9 years ago when you were starting out minus the beard !!!! absolutely awesome ,cannot wait to see you in action in the YPC competition you will smash it mate good luck too you ,please any info on your unhooking mat and backpack you were using in the last upload would be grateful, tight lines mate massive respect .

Lovely new net 😂😂😂😂

The canals Court Castle Marina in Lenton big pike as well

Hope all this new LMAB kit isn’t a spoiler for you winning this YPC 😂👀

I have caught big chubs in water like this, but with cicada bait. It makes strong vibration and my catch was about 20 chubs per day.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Wish I i had perch like that around here. Smallmouth bass dominate the river niche in my area, but perch taste so much better! Couple quarties have some small some small perch, maybe half pounders at best..

Imo the best contrast for dirty water or even night time is a black fly. Interesting thoughts with the shine, my money is on black though.

"Here's my new net, third one this week"😂

I love perch fishing there's a canal in Nottingham and some big perch in there big perch

Top shelf fishing Chris K/R Mr D

Hope you do the business on Sunday ginge 🎣🤞

Already on the fast track to buying yourself another net haha

Chris is such a superb angler.

I’m loving this , what pound line are you on there , tight lines subbed

Don't go losing that new net 😂

Love Your Videos, but Always sad we dont have that good fish populations in swizerland.

smashing pike

I had a very fast flowing river/Brook that would get swollen a number of times every year, and every time it did I would just avoid it altogether. Are used to only float fishing which is probably why… Didn’t ever think to bother going for pike or perch. Didn’t think anything hung around when the current was that strong

I think you should do a temu lure challenge

Anyone else thinking ye was saying slag instead of slack 😂 I was pissing myself

He makes me want to go fishing. I’d love to go with him

Hi ya, great video and thanks for posting. I really want to get into this type of fishing but I have no idea how to handle a pike once landed which puts me off a little. I don’t want to damage or hurt the fish, any tips on how to hold and unhook and the sorts of kit I might need to be successful?

Nice

Would you please put some 3 in 1 oil on your new net. Happy you got to use it a lot but that screech! 😂

❤

🐐🐐🐐

Hope u don't lose your new net lol 😂

Be careful on them flooded slippery banks i slipped the other week and winded myself but managed to stay out the river lol

Good stuff. Can i ask what the reel is? I use a lot of light tackle for Perch fishing and have seen these types of reels on a lot of YT vids, but dont know much about them. Cheers.

A new net Chris????? I wonder why 😂😂😂😂

Another new net? How many do you already have? Another great video. I like to see them.

wen i lived in aus we used to eat these red fin perch,tasty

Wow I was thinking that there is no chance to catch fish in this conditions 😳 that's the sign that I will take mine ass next day's off to a river 😂 mhhh will bring soft lures with myself will see how it will work

Chris, maybe a slightly more random question, your wellington boots seem to be quite wide at the tops like around the calf. Being a larger gentleman myself, I have quite large calves and struggle with most brands of wellington. So really to end a long winded question, I'm asking where ya got the pair in this video? Long time sub and watch almost every upload, keep the great content coming

I need some lessons off you I do 😊
