It was time to explore a small forgotten river that I’ve only ever fished once before! I know it holds a good head of chub, so the plan of attack was to use small topwater lures and spinners to try and catch as many as possible! It’s really overgrown and access is minimal, so getting to these fish wasn’t easy, but like most things. If you put the effort in, you get rewarded!

Amazing what a great little session and healthy beautiful river and fish love it.
multiples species challenge could be nice.. In denmark there is a competion – catch the most different species in 1 year. Number one is on 60 ish and im on 22 this year.
Droppens are my go to, only actually, spinners, tried others always came back to them. The 2gms were fantastic for wild Brownies and Chub, don't know they stopped making them,have to settle for the 4gms now. And 3cm floating Rappalars.
As the Droppen must be 40+ years old, how about a session just using classic plugs, spoons & spinners?
What a beautiful venue to do a spot of fishing on a sunny warm day, and great fishing by the way. Love it.
Quality video mate! Being from yorkshire (barnsley), theres some great rivers and canals to fish. Im living in lichfield now and the water quality isnt the best on places around here, although the river tame is pretty decent and has good barbel
What a hidden gem! Well done mateπ
Request to do the Isaac Walton stretch of the river Lea, w.abbey onwards, Essex! I fish this and it feels decimated for a lot of reasons, but if thereβs one person to prove me wrong! Itβs the Ginger!
Matching the hatch.
You nailed it.
I fished with spinners years ago and couldn't get a bite because the fish were feeding on flies.
chub a chuck
