 I'm going to do a few little short sessions. Hopefully you'll enjoy it. I'm going to cover float fishing, swing tip, quiver tip, pole fishing, fish breadflake, hemp, tears, chopworming, colored water, and see how I get on. Do press the subscribe button if you like the vid. I'm on the River Choo during the second phase of lockdown in November, five minutes away from my doorstep and a tribute to the Bristol Aven. It's free fishing, so you can get here by bus, train, and there's even a tackle shop, Premier Angling, one of the best-touch shops in the South West at walking distance. So it's also got carpark behind for driving. There's a great little venue. I love free stretches. I think they're really important for getting you good at fishing. Typically, when you think roach fishing, you think very fine tackle. There's a lighter hook vent because you can possibly get away with. Still flies here, but the lighter can get away. There's probably four pounds because of the chub and the barbell. And also, it is snaggy as hell. So I'm gonna be using light homemade ledger links, basically using a sponge shot on a weak link. Yeah, swinging in the 60s, swing tips in the 80s. There are a very sensitive fight indication. It's all about roach. So when it's flooding, I use lob worm. When it's finding down, I tend to use bread flake. And I found from experience putting ground baits in, just draws in an endless shawl of minnows that never, will never be fed off. Yeah, if you start boiling out your ground bait, even if it's a very heavy mix, trying to predict where that's gonna land when you've got seven or eight, sometimes 10 foot of water for it to travel through, it's almost impossible. You need to be on top of the bait that you're putting out. And the easiest way of doing that is with a bait dropper. Well, I'm getting lots of bites on this worm. I'm not getting hookups. I might change to a lighter hook length and try this bread flake. Because it's doing my head in a little bit. There you go, another bite. Do something. Tiny fish or cagey roach? I'm not changing spots, mate. That's unforgiving. Hello, Fraser. It's best thing that's happened all morning, seeing you guys. No, I've got one. I'm back for a third time to try and catch this roach. What am I doing? I'm gonna fish with a little bit of a finer approach today. I might even pole for shit because the water's cleared right out and dropped right down. So I've moved into some deeper water, it's about 10 foot in front of me. There's no real features to fish to, but I'm just hoping that depth will offer them some cover. So it's one of the poles I use for coaching, which means it's gonna have a huge connector on the end so the pupils can get the rigs on and off easily without them to use their teeth. The other thing I do with beginners is give them really long rig winders and they don't have to worry too much about where the float is positioned when they're putting it away. Whenever I'm fishing hemp, I like to have some of these as well, a popular roach bait, and it run past the bend. So the point's showing. Shaling down to size 22, it's a lip hook. It's a black spot, it's quite a common roach. It seems to be looking fish with his red eye, with his red fin. Is there still any big ones in here? Who knows, caught any big ones, perhaps you'd have to tell the whole world. Drop me a message. Can't believe how big that fish was at the jumps, though. That's huge. Like a sea trout, a brown trout. My obligation to abide by lockdown restrictions and fish as locally to home as possible is what brought me down to the river in search of roach. And I have to be honest, it hardly filled me with excitement, but it is such an intriguing little...
