Winter River Fishing UK Wye Chub maggot feeder tips rigs tackle silent angling 

Hi Clive, You are so very kind, thank you. I draw great inspiration and motivation from reading and responding to viewers comments. Apologies for the delayed response.

Hi Harry, I was hoping for a trotting film but alas the river had other ideas. I was thinking of you when I included the night clip and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you as always for your loyal support

Hi Mark, Thank you so much for both watching and commenting, I admire your knowledge and skill as a rod builder and now I admire your dress sense.

Hi Jozse, Thank you for replying there's is so much in your impressive CV I'd like to cover on this channel although I dont think Mrs Silent Angler would sanction a Marlin trip. I contemplated getting a Salmon licence for my local river Usk however I felt it would be a case of chasing unicorns as there's so much angling I want to share, I guess one life isn't enough. I experimented with underwater filming during the summer and found it like yourself fascinating. However when editing a film it just didn't work, I felt the mystery of what lies beneath the surface was lost. Thats what captured my imagination as a child and perhaps it might inspire someone to grab a rod and head for a river somewhere. Thank you as always for your support.

Hi Mike, The thanks goes to you guys as without an audience I wouldn't make them.

Hi Mark, Thank you for your time in both watching and commenting. I was once told to only keep a fish out of the water as long as you hold your breath.

@@silentangling I think you and I went to the same school, ............. and I do not like some of the ''new ways''

Hi Mark, Sorry to hear about your health issues and please accept my love, best wishes and speedy recovery. I shall aim to continue to keep your piscatorial fire burning. Thank you as always for your continued support.

I'm okay, just have to wait, till I'm back fishing. Keep that fire burning.@@silentangling

Hi Jozse, I glad the relaxed vibe came across because I set off wanting a relaxed day by the river instead of the usual roving approach. I've got some interesting films in the pipeline but is there anything you would like to see ? Thank you for your continued support and time spent commenting.

Hi Paul, It was in fantastic condition and lovely rich colours. The tawny owls have been very vocal of late, guess it's coming into their breeding season. Thank you for your time in both watching and commenting.

Hi Martin, I'm sure Des would be flattered to be compared to me. Can you imagine how scary it must be for the wildlife hearing that call as darkness falls. Thank you as always for your support

@@silentangling oh I'm sure des wouldn't mind 🤣 as for the tawny owl 🦉 there pairing up as you no doubt noticed on your film and that bloody screech they make catches me out every time parking the car up the other night and I know there in the trees at the side of the bungalow " they wait to ambush me as I'm walking down the path . 🤣🤣🤣🤣🦉🦉🦉

@@martincallaghan8817 It's the foxes mating that always sends a shiver down my spine

@@silentangling vixen sounds like someone being strangled ' I new roughly when it was coming because the dog usually gives 3 sharp yaps . 🦊

@@martincallaghan8817 that's interesting I've never noticed that but I'll be keeping an ear open for that this winter.

Hi, Many thanks for your continued support and kind words. I guess it must be Owl breeding season as they've been very vocal for a few weeks now.

Hi Steve, Thankfully the bleak seemed to of vanished around these parts. I must admit I never go far without a small pot of pellet paste but I never added fish oil so thanks for the tip and thank you as always for your support

@@silentangling Welcome. I add fish oil into blitzed halibut pellets and smoked paprika oil into robin red pellets. My theory is that in colder water the paste needs a bit of help to leach out its flavour. It can even be frozen. Adding egg means it has to be used fresh though.

@@stevewilliams5428 thank you so much for sharing such great tips. I always wanted this channel to be a depository of angling knowledge so thank you for the contribution.
