Adventure Fishing UK Heads into the Mountains in Search of the Next Hidden Fishing Gem
Adventure Fishing UK's latest film captures everything that makes adventure fishing so rewarding. Rugged mountain scenery, untouched water, unexpected catches, and the excitement of exploring beyond the next ridgeline all come together in an adventure that reminds us why we love discovering new places to fish.
In this latest mountain expedition, George Lamb relies on the compact Rigged & Ready World Traveller 10 Year Anniversary Rod and Reel, switching effortlessly between spin fishing and fly fishing as he explores remote waters. The trip highlights just how much versatility can be packed into a truly portable fishing system, allowing anglers to adapt without carrying multiple full-size rods.
But this journey is about more than the fish. It reminds us that some of the best adventures begin with nothing more than a map, a hiking trail, and the curiosity to see what's waiting around the next bend. Against a backdrop of breathtaking mountain landscapes, George's latest film celebrates the simple pleasure of discovering waters that feel untouched and miles away from everyday life.
Searching for a Hidden Mountain Fishing Gem
In the newest Adventure Fishing UK episode, George sets out into the mountains in search of a hidden fishing spot, never quite knowing what he'll find or which technique will produce the best results.
That's part of what makes adventure fishing so addictive.
Unlike fishing familiar lakes or rivers where productive areas and proven techniques are already well known, exploring wild water demands patience, observation, and the willingness to change your approach as conditions evolve.
For this trip, George packed two highly versatile Rigged & Ready rods: the World Traveller 10 Year Anniversary Limited Edition and the lightweight Fish Rig 180 telescopic rod.
Together, they gave him the freedom to alternate between spin fishing and fly fishing without carrying several traditional rods through challenging terrain. When one presentation stopped producing results, switching methods was quick and effortless, helping him make the most of every opportunity the mountains offered.

That kind of flexibility is invaluable when you're fishing remote water.
Mountain weather can change without warning, and each pool may call for a completely different presentation. One section of water might favor a small spinner, while another demands a carefully presented fly. Having equipment that adapts as quickly as the conditions allows anglers to respond naturally instead of being limited by the gear they packed before leaving home.

George landed several fish during the adventure, all surrounded by spectacular mountain scenery. The finished film is well worth watching whether you're passionate about fishing, enjoy hiking and exploring, or simply appreciate great outdoor storytelling. It also showcases just how capable compact travel fishing equipment can be when it's put to the test in real-world conditions.
WORLD TRAVELLER 10 YEAR LIMITED EDITION
The World Traveller 10 Year Limited Edition is built for anglers who want the freedom to fish wherever their adventures take them.
With three rod lengths, interchangeable lure and fly tips, dedicated spinning and fly handles, two reels, and a complete range of travel accessories, it easily adapts to rivers, lakes, canals, and coastal waters. Everything packs neatly into a protective travel case, creating a complete fishing system that's easy to carry without sacrificing versatility.
Whether you're heading out on vacation, hiking into the backcountry, camping, cycling, or traveling overseas, the World Traveller delivers the flexibility of multiple specialized rods in one compact setup.
Lightweight, portable, and incredibly adaptable, it's designed for anglers who refuse to let bulky equipment limit where they can fish.

Fishing Beyond the Familiar
Adventure Fishing UK has built its reputation by exploring waters that many anglers never think to fish. Instead of returning to popular destinations or taking the easiest path to the shoreline, George is always searching for places that offer something new.
His adventures have taken him to mountain lakes, abandoned quarries, private streams, hidden ponds, quiet rivers, and countless other waters with stories waiting to be uncovered. While the fishing itself is always the centerpiece, it's often the scenery, history, and sense of discovery that make each trip truly unforgettable.
That's exactly why we're proud to support George and Adventure Fishing UK. His passion for exploration reflects everything Rigged & Ready stands for.
We believe fishing gear should create opportunities, not limitations. It should encourage anglers to hike farther, explore new water, and take the trail less traveled instead of staying close to the parking lot because carrying traditional tackle becomes too much of a burden.
Every Rigged & Ready rod is engineered to pack into a compact travel case while still delivering the performance you'd expect from a full-size setup once it's assembled. Many of our rods also feature interchangeable tips, multiple rod lengths, and the ability to switch between different fishing techniques, giving anglers exceptional versatility without the need to carry multiple rods.
They're built for anglers who like to travel light, cover more water, and stay ready for whatever opportunities the day brings.
Whether you're hiking into the mountains, traveling in an RV, cycling along a canal, paddling to a secluded cove, flying overseas, or simply keeping a rod in the back of your vehicle for an impromptu trip, compact equipment gives you the freedom to fish whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Traveling Light with the Fish Rig 180
Alongside the World Traveller, George also packed the Fish Rig 180, one of our favorite rods for lightweight travel fishing.
Built with portability and versatility in mind, the Fish Rig 180 fishes at either 180cm (5'11") or 160cm (5'4"), then collapses to approximately 49cm, making it easy to store in a backpack, suitcase, RV, or the back of your vehicle without taking up valuable space.
The rod comes with interchangeable 8g, 10g, and 20g tips, allowing anglers to fine-tune their setup for different light-tackle techniques and changing fishing conditions.
It's an excellent choice for targeting trout, perch, chub, and a variety of other freshwater species in rivers, creeks, canals, small lakes, and remote waters where precision, mobility, and finesse often make all the difference.
For anglers who enjoy covering ground, that's a real advantage. Hiking miles of riverbank or moving between isolated mountain pools is much easier when your gear works with you instead of slowing you down.
The Fish Rig 180 can be assembled in minutes whenever promising water appears, giving you more time to fish and less time setting up.
Its interchangeable tip system also gives it a clear advantage over many traditional telescopic rods. Instead of relying on a permanently fixed tip, anglers can choose the option that best matches the conditions and the technique they're planning to use.
The result is a rod that's more adaptable, more dependable, and better prepared for the variety that adventure fishing often brings.

Adapting to Wild Water
Throughout the trip, George made full use of the versatility that comes from pairing the World Traveller with the Fish Rig 180, switching seamlessly between spin fishing and fly fishing as conditions changed throughout the day.
Rather than sticking with one technique, he was free to experiment with different presentations, explore new sections of water, and adapt naturally to whatever the environment demanded.
That's what adventure fishing is all about.
Wild waters rarely come with guarantees. There's no guide telling you which fly to use, where the fish are holding, or how deep they'll be feeding. Success comes from paying attention, reading the water, and being willing to change your approach whenever conditions require it.
George's films also remind us that the most memorable days on the water aren't always measured by the size of the fish.
A beautifully colored wild trout caught from a remote mountain pool can leave a much stronger impression than landing a bigger fish at a spot you've visited countless times before. The hike, the scenery, the uncertainty, and the excitement of discovering somewhere new all become part of the experience.
That's exactly what we mean when we say Rigged & Ready rods are built for anglers who want to Go Anywhere & Fish Everywhere.
It's about having the confidence to explore farther, travel lighter, and know your gear is ready for whatever water lies beyond the next trail.
Can You Help George Find His Next Hidden Fishing Spot?
Adventure Fishing UK is always looking for unique places to feature, and George would love to hear from anglers, landowners, fishing clubs, farmers, and anyone with local knowledge of waters that deserve to be explored.
The next unforgettable adventure could be closer than you think.
Maybe you know of a quiet farm pond that's rarely fished, a private stretch of river tucked away from the crowds, an abandoned quarry with an interesting history, a remote reservoir, a mountain lake, or an old estate pond that few people ever get the chance to see.
It doesn't have to hold trophy fish.
What matters most is the story behind the location, the journey it takes to get there, and the adventure it offers. Some of the best fishing films begin with an ordinary piece of water that reveals something extraordinary once it's explored.
With a campervan now part of the Adventure Fishing UK setup, George can travel farther than ever before, making it possible to film in exciting new locations across the United Kingdom. Longer road trips, multi-day adventures, and previously unexplored waters are all now within reach.
If you have a location in mind, we'd love to hear about it. When you get in touch, it helps to include details about the type of water, its general location, the species available, access information, and, most importantly, what makes it such a special place.
Of course, every location is approached responsibly. Private fisheries, working farms, and environmentally sensitive areas will only ever be visited with the appropriate permissions and with respect for landowners, wildlife, and the surrounding landscape.
