  • The aim of this session was to throw my gopro into an Urban lock on the local canal to see what lives down there and also to hopefully catch some fish at the same time. I lowered a gopro fitted with a torch down into one of the largest locks on my local canal. I got some fantastic footage including perch feeder on the maggot feeder. The footage makes for some real interesting viewing!

    Hi Chris, you deserve a big reward for the beautiful way you treat the fish, all of them, that you catch. Your love for the fish matches mine. Treat them with respect and release clean of problems if retuning. I fly fish for a meal, tie my flies with a fish in mind on the plate. I catch a fish for my meal and stop. Play it gently, cleanly dispatch, clean through the gills and a slit at the vent, give the guts to the nymphs etc who feed on them, go home and cook and serve with love. Nick from York

    Amazing how looking up from the water you can clearly see the edge of the bank - so you can see how easy it is to spook fish if you're not sat back - & why some of the match guys use white pole tips so they blend into the background of the sky.

    The humble Perch has been responsible for creating at least 90% of the anglers in the UK. Almost every angler's first fish, and the one that gets them hooked on the sport.

    I was very fortunate to work with Fisheries Biologists in the early 2000's. We worked on tagging and tracking Great Lakes Steelhead on their spring spawing runs. But we also studied salmonids, Walleye, Sturgeon and other species. It was fascinating, and I would say, understanding fish behaviors according to variables like dissolved oxygen levels, temperature, water clarity and more can make you a more knowledgeable and successful Fisherman/Fisherwoman. I am enjoying these videos. Thanks Chris

    I love reviewing under water footage, so exciting finding what you've captured. Only thing that beats that is fishing shallow, clear water for trout through a large sight fishing hole while ice fishing. I do this in a pop up shelter that blocks out all the glare. It's like a window into the fishes world. Great video as always Chris!

    The underwater footage is never disappointing is it, TGF? Watching it back is like getting bites, the excitement of what might be next to appear.
    It's changed our way of thinking about feeding fish. It being far more chaotic than I had imagined personally for sure.
    I've always appreciated that fish 'migrate' through locks and hole up where there is oxygenated water by the gates but never ever thought of actually trying to fish in one.
    Great planning and filming, enjoyed it very much. Thank you.
    George.

You deserve every success and I hope you soon get you're first one million subscribers!! All the very best from a lady who loves to fish but is now disabled and finds it very hard to be able to do so, so you're videos fill the void for me!! So thankyou so very much my friend!!

    I love canal fishing, mostly spinning in winter is my fav time.
    I went the weekend just gone with my 7 yr old lad, he caught a signal crayfish and a few perch, absolutely loved it .
    I was told by a dog walker who was passing by the time my lad caught the crayfish that I shouldn’t put it back in the canal and I should kill it, I didn’t kill it ….. just waited for him to go and put it back in the canal ….. then only to find out that it may be illegal to put crayfish back in to the water 😮
