Exploring the UK's Clearest River!

Спорт

Join me as I fish for a variety of species that live in one of the UK's healthiest rivers, known for it's water clarity - only, upon arriving, it seems that may not be the case at all...
Big thanks to my brother Stephen for helping me film this one, and to ‪@The_ginger_fisherman‬ for putting me on the fish!! You guys are the best :)

    I fish this river myself, and have had the same issue with them cutting the weed and it completely ruins the fishing, not sure why they do it as it doesn’t really benefit the river to cut the weed. On a good day though the river produces class fish, I’ve had double figure barbel and perch to 2lb plus as well as 5lb chub

    Never walk downriver as the vibrations can scare the fish below you, always fish against the current as the vibrations will carry away from the fish you're looking for :)
