Mark I absolutely love Yr enthusiasm and joy that you get from fishing, yes we all love to catch big fish but that sheer wonder of looking at a small piece of water and wondering what magic it holds, the joys of being an angler that non anglers will never understand, keep up the great vids.

nice little stream roach were great and sometimes it good fun fishing these small waters ,you have found a great place there ,it would be interesting to see how a small feeder would work with bread flake and maggots,,really snaggy looking crabtree country .. the shots from the air those trees like spun cotton nice ,well done mark and until your next adventure tight lines,,

Does look a lovely hidden gem mate I bet it's absolutely beautiful in the summer.

Great video Mark. Your quite right about the water authorities and what they get away with. Predation will also effect where the fish prefer to lie. I got out on a backwater of the Thames yesterday and had a couple of chub. 1st time I've fished the water and that excitement you get from exploring a new water can't be beaten.

Enjoyable vid my ole mate good seeing you back on the bank , I think you could be right regards there being more fish above the sewerage works , having said that you have had the chub, great little small river fishing , well done Mark ,look forward to the next one 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Cracking video buddy. Plenty of mixed fish there. So even though you had Google Mapped the area did you have to find out then if a club owned that stretch or did you just turn up and have a look? 🎣🎣

Nice one mark. Totally agree; nothing quite like investigating new small waterways. A promising roach there too - do you think he might have been with friends? So often these days in our neck of the woods, with stressed waterways, I find the slightly bigger roach is a singleton who thinks he's a baby chub! competing in amongst the chub shoal....

Cheers Tim and Yes i suspect there are more about of that stamp and perhaps even larger than those! You are right regarding larger roach being non shoal fish at times too.

The EA need to put a stop to the pollution I've had to get on to the EA about restocking the ponds and the river wear in Sunderland Washington.Since the 80s it's went down hill and with mink Otters and other things it's shameful hopefully the EA will be getting back to me I've had an e.mail saying they are going to ring me back were paying for none existent course fish it seems if it's salmon and seatrout then they are on the ball but course fish they don't care.Anyway mate another enjoyable video 👍.

@@francolinobasco Honestly mate if you fished up here you would get a shock I broke my pb last year for a minnow lol I've seen it decline since the 80s .The EA are supposed to be ringing me up to talk about it I want fish not a conversation ,what got me they stock commercial fisheries who are owned by people who obviously have money to buy the land in the first place then the EA boast about it so we are paying to fish the commercial that's stocked using our money when they could be stocking rivers council ponds and lakes atleast to a degree clubs lease ponds from councils and chip in to buy fish and pay the lease agreement.So getting help from the EA is beneficial,but stocking private fisheries nah don't like it the money shouldn't be spent on them.As anglers we pay for other people to enjoy the countryside we are a line of defence for pollution control fish thefts illegal dumping and so on and if I'm honest we are treated like dirt by the EA.Now 15,000 otters then Mink and other things I won't mention ,they need to realise course fish are wildlife not just salmon and seatrout which the EA only seems to care about now.Sorry for the rant mate it really boils my blood.
