After a nearly two-year break, UKfisherwoman is officially back on YouTube! Her latest video, “MY FIRST SESSION BACK! // LETS CATCH UP!”, marks her return to the water and provides a heartfelt update on where she’s been and what’s next.
Here is a breakdown of her comeback session:
Life Update: Where has she been?
-
Motherhood: The primary reason for her 22-month break was the birth of her son, Leo, in late 2024 [02:07]. She shares that motherhood has been both “amazing” and the most “challenging job” she’s ever had [16:34].
-
Health Update: She candidly mentions developing an essential tremor in her hands following childbirth [06:32]. While she was a bit nervous about it affecting her fishing, she handled the session like a pro.
The Fishing Session at Longbridge
-
Why Longbridge? She chose this familiar venue to “ease back in” and regain her confidence without the pressure of learning a new lake [13:23].
-
The Setup: * Rigs: She used a size 6 Fox curve shank hook on a slip D rig with lead core [03:32].
- Bait: She relied on CC Moore Live System boilies and pop-ups that had been soaking for two years! [06:05].
-
The Outcome: Despite the winter chill and a busy lake, she didn’t manage to land a carp this time. She also tried some pike fishing but unfortunately lost her lure [10:00].
Plans for 2026
-
Content Schedule: While she won’t be back to weekly uploads yet, she aims to fish and film at least twice a month [17:47].
-
New Locations: She promised fans she won’t just stay at Longbridge; a trip to Broadlands is already in the works for the near future [14:04].
-
Family Content: She clarified that while Leo might join her on the bank, she won’t be making “family content” or forcing him into videos unless he chooses to be involved when he’s older [18:14].
It’s a great, honest “catch-up” video for anyone who has followed her journey. You can watch the full return here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWwl6UPgt5c
