Brilliant video bud. How the snowy scenes make the river look more serene 😊

Glad you enjoyed it mate

Trying to learn how to catch fish. I'm a newbie. I want to get better so I can take my nieces and nephews someday. Awesome informative video thank you sir 👍

Certainly with you on the move away from treble hooks! Lovely video mate and a real shame about the big common carp! 😢🎣

Thank you very much! A video coming how to switch lures to single hooks and a tester in hook up success!

Beautiful video mate! I've just got to give the Ribble a shot for pike with the fly! but big single hooks only for me! I hate trebles, I can remember spinning for trout years ago and hooking them in the back of the head, tail and once in the mouth with both jaws clamped together! no more! at the time no- one had thought of changing the hooks. You obviously know this river inside out! well done Ian👍👍👍

I agree 100% about the single hooks. I get 1/0 singles from a company in Ireland that makes pike flies. I’ve just bought a batch so this will be an upcoming video. Thanks for supporting the Channel mate

Hi Ian, it's great to see you back to what you do best. I love the new format & editing, the opening Drone footage really set the mood. There is alot of great information & tips to help people put a few Essox on the bank. I think that with your great Local knowledge & your love for the the River you should have Ribble as you middle name : )

Thanks mahal ko, love you

Hey man nice video. For pike fishing it's definitely better wire or titanium leader than fluoro, no matter what but fluoro up to 1mm could be cuted by jaws.. I'm fishing barbless treble hook as well ..but you nèd to be mors stiff and less lose on the reel .as soon as the pike is taking line you will lose it otherwise. Cheers

That is food for thought mate, thanks very much indeed. I will definitely address this in upcoming videos and many thanks for the advice and watching my video nic!

Lovely video again. I am looking to get into lure fishing on the river/ canal. Could you recommend a rod or rod/ reel combo.The rod in your video looks good. Very local to you, but not a member of prince albert so have to go on the free stretch. Love fly fishing for chub on those lovely summer evenings too. Cheers

Was lovely meeting you and Thomas, a breath of fresh air meeting lovely folks like yourselves. We are just heading out for a bit of wildlife photography but I will send you some links over of gear I recommend. As a matter of fact u will make a specific video to answer this question.

It's the little nir nir nirniring about at the end. Bit of antidote to that tragic sight of the carp. Still had its tail. And some swimming capacity. Slim chance it will pull through... Me no trebles for years now...
