Magnifique ! I didn't know hemp fishing for roach was popular in the UK. It used to be in France too where I fish but tends to be less frequent may be because it is rather technical in comparison with other baits. Anyway your video is brilliant in spite of naughty Avon pikes ! 😉 Merci for this nice programme.
I live in the US now and didn’t fish for years but I started up again. The fishing is very different and Americans consider Shiners( roach), suckers(barbel-ish), River Redhorse (big barbel) carp and fallfish(chub) as trash fish and most laugh at the pole and seat box. That is until you give ‘em a go with a ten pound carp! The best thing is that you have to figure out all of the methods for different venues. Still, I miss the canals and rivers oh, and bream. ( the three canal bream video aretops) but what can you do? Thanks James for the awesome fishing and lack of commercials plus the inspiration to get back out. Peace
The reason I really like this video is that it is about the craft, not the kit. Tackle lying around, nothing particularly neat, not with everything being branded, just craft, time and motion. Allied to simple explanations – beautiful. And bare feet – can't get better than that.
Love this. Love it that he's fishing barefoot and wearing a decent sun hat. James, you're a legend! Have to say though I was disappointed with the pork pie. Where was the brown sauce? Being serious, do you use barbed or barbless hooks?
well done again James – your love for our sport just oozes out of this feature – simple explanations, just a joy to watch. presentation of the piece so natural, as if we are on the bank with you – fantastic. More please.
Great video James as always and Ian I love some of the slow motion shots. A very nice net of roach on a traditional bait and method and not a carp in sight!! Some people might not think it’s an old method but I understand Belgium refugees brought it over in about 1916 and apparently they used the pole, albeit a hollow cane one. Apparently the locals were astounded by their catches on this method and bait on the Thames! Looking forward to your next quality video guys. Tight Lines
great video as always, good tips especially the old pop bottle and the hooking method (just put a needle in my box) I use hemp but normally only for loose feed, that may change now. I notice you too use yellow tips, since coming back to fishing I've found that my best colour but it's cost me a bloody fortune to change all my floats over. I leave my Lab at home when it's this hot too, he's a black!
I love hemp fishing on the pole on my local river the Suffolk Stour at Bures, great tips thanks. Hi James/Chappy really enjoyed the fishing and photography in this video. I'm getting sad, I look forward to watching these weekly as much as my wife loves Poldark!
Your terrific James. Would you consider using tares on the hook in conjunction with hemp? I find them easier to hook although harder to prepare, just got to cook em carefully. And where was Monty, hope he's ok. Andy James
These videos just get better and better,l don't know how you can improve on them James explains it so well and the quality of the filming second to none.well done everybody you should be really proud of what your achieving.
James, I'm sure you must be fed up with people such as I who constantly praise you but to be honest it is your fault. You explain things so clearly without going over the top like many others. What you and Cadence are doing is a breath of fresh air for our beloved fishing so once again I have to say great video mate and you and Cadence keep it up. Tight lines my friend.
I just use Tares on the hook. Much easier
As below… best films….
Absolutely love these videos. The tackles pretty special too. Keep up the good work

Good vid. But why that irritating music? Surely the sound of the fish splashing the birds singing etc is far more enjoyable.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍

Great video but what did you use to pierce the hemp with?
More great, professional, well presented, informative videos. Keep up the good work.

Must try hemp… Thx!
I watch Cadence fishing regular and I think James is a natural in front of the camera.
A brilliant video on the art of hemp fishing, wow that Cadence CP2000 pole looks the business. I’ve gotta try it.
Just brilliant, just brilliant
Jamies up there with the best great explaining
Awsome net full great bit of kit as well
