Stunning trout. When using treble hooks, I will bend one of the barb points so it's resting against the hook shank. That way you can avoid those triple hooked jaw locking hook sets. Makes it much easier to release the fish and it doesn't affect the weight or action of the lure. Give it a try.

This is such a beauty video! Exactly the same kind of fishing that I do my self in Yorkshire, cant beat that feeling of wild waters and wild brown trout. Do remember to wet your hands though before touching the fish, a vital step to prevent future harm to the trout after it is released. Great video, look forward to seeing more!

Great fun catching trout on small streams. Have a look at Panther Martin spinners! Simply brilliant for this style of ultra light spinning

When using spinners, I snap off the treble hooks with a metal plier und then replace it with a snap ring and a single hook. Because the trouts mouth is so fleshy and soft and I dont wanna rip out any tissue. Great Video!

Fantastic. Fishing on streams, and getting loads of action. Almost beats the stick float and centrepin!!!

Hi from Scotland. Beautiful wild brown trout. My favourite fish, ever. Get yourself a wooden handled rubber mesh landing net for that kind of fishing. Your treble hooks won’t get caught in it. Around £20. It’ll be worth it. Keep up the great work. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎣

I used to love the Black Fury 00. Caught me so many Parr and Brownies in my local stream.

Quality stuff mate! That take at 6:20 was epic

You're fishing back to front in this clip. Fish these tiny spinners directly upstream, not down. Like Alexander wanless wrote about "upstream minnow". And be less inclined to get in the water, wading micro waters causes much disturbance, can bugger up redds under your boots too,, I saw a magazine mention of clipping off the treble, substitute a long shank snecked single with a bit of scarlet wool up the shank but keep the hook bend/point clear. I adopted it as a trial, never changed back. "Nibblers" get hooked on that set up that otherwise would only have been followers. and it's massively easier to free the fish from a single. I thought it'd impact hookup rates but if anything it improved that too. Remember, keep your feet dry and fish upstream, especially in fast runs, you could be surprised what's lying there, their dorsals barely covered. Quick retrieve needed to keep the blade rotating. My trout spin gear as a youngster with almost no £ was a (very) old mitchell 300 with the shallow spool, loaded with 2lb main line tied direct to the lure, usually a silver Mepps Aglia no.0. (No pike present) Fished on a soft solid glass green rod, a 7ft "Milbro Spinwell". Virtually indestructible, those were. Served me very well till I discovered fly tackle. You've had quite a season. May your next be twice as good! ...

Some nice slabs of spotted butter there mate.

yeeeeeeees!! super cool!!thnx!!! 00 - it's my passion!!!! all the fish is taking!!! personal record - pike 4+, chubbs 1+

Hi buddy just came across your channel just now. If your a catch and release fisherman i would highly recommend snipping of the treble hooks and get yourself some mustad kaiju inline single hooks and split rings.

In my experience with trout, small spinners are the best for enticing both big and small fish. I never usually go bigger than a size 2 mepps. Also, on a small river like that, an equally effective method might be trotting with a small bubble float and a daddy long legs (cranefly) on the hook

Personally I've re-hooked a lot of my small spinners (Mepps Aglia sizes 0, 1 and similar) with Matzuo Sickle siwash hooks in sizes 8 and 10. Hasn't adversely affected hook-up rates with Chub and Perch on small streams, but has greatly eased unhooking.

the release underwatercam is such an extra

softer rod- is perfect for micro-spinners!!!! *(my favorite is nasci 1-4gr for trout is made)- no sensivity- but perfect spinner-spoon play!!! have a lot of UL rods... but - softer-better! and we have local hand- maker of spinner-spoons = 0.6 gr with tripplehook-beard - it is catching much more then mepps 00-000 - in black colur with red hook thread !! *(You can re-colour mepps adding beard and try!!) Thnx a lot for perfect video!!

love your vids

brilliant video i'd be happy with those fish anywhere and testament to your precision flicking that amongst all the trees and scrub. Anyone remember Landa Flipz spinners? they cast better and i would say even out-performed the mepps but the manufacturers changed the design to a nasty plastic blade swivel and ruined it for themselves. Mepps Aglia the victor in the long run. ( Landa also did a very respectable knock-off toby called "Lukki" )

Here in the Cambridgeshire fens if you property backs onto a river you usually do own the fishing rights. So that chap may well have been entitled to ask you not to fish there, he was polite. He could have easily formed a small club to fish it. I'm sure that a stream like that would belong to someone. Its your responsibility to check with the landowners before you fish anywhere. I'm the bailiff, have been for over 30 years, for my local club and we have trouble with signs they often get removed or just wear out. Its an expensive job to keep replacing them. I've never experienced any trouble asking people to move, mostly they join the club.

Great catch, I like watching your program. I have a question: do you use a barbless hook when fishing for trout? Will they be able to take any fish home for dinner? Regards Robert from Poland.

That could have been a great dinner!

Nice job out there

Some people just don't like fishing and it seems a bit suspect that it was a 60 yard stretch, at the back of someone's property that had no signs up and he apparently owns the club. I wonder if the guy comes out to everyone who fishes there to check if they are a member of 'his club' lol. Maybe ginge should have enquired about the club and asked what it was called, how much it is to join to fish his 60 yards and if they have a website.

As usual, superb vid, amazing quality of brownies from that little stream. Don't know if I'd be inclined to fish up rather than down, and keep out of the water as much as possible. Wading does not spook fish in a bigger river, but that spot is tiny. I thought you'd be using your new found fly fishing skills!

2gm Abu Droppens (can't get them any more), I hardly ever use mine last few as I don;t want to loose them. 3cm Floating Rappalas great for floating down under overhangs. 5gm Tobies, if they are still available, trout and big chub attack them as if they are an abomination, not to feed, just to kill.

Have you used the tiny plastics? I found the 1" Berkley Gulp! minnows to be murder, and there was an American lure company that made this stuff specifically back when. It was called Renosky IIRC. Also, get a Rocky Jr. and Rocky Sr. Whoops, I just looked at the price, forget it. If you find a river that has BIG browns nobody can get to eat, the Cowboys out West here figured out MOUSE patterns at night did the trick.

All I've managed to catch on the 00 size Mepps is weed and rocks. Tried faster retrieve but it still snags. Must be a technique I've not mastered yet

That must be a healthy little river to still posess bullheads
