Not aimed at yourself in particular, I’ve fished the swale man and boy for over forty years now, and I’ve noticed that people like to fish close to bushes snags etc, it seems the trend nowadays is to have your rod high and sit back from your rods, surely if your casting and fishing in a spot where you are close to bushes, the barbel are very good at learning there surroundings and usually leave the shade of the snags in low light conditions, now that first couple of seconds in my experience when a barbel takes, he is already heading back to his snag, with the stretch of line, the give in the rod, surely it would be more advantageous to sit next to your rods, to hit the bite and turn the fish as soon as possible, I can understand it in a big river like the Trent or even the Ouse, but in a narrow river like the Swale I would have thought it would make sense. Just an observation. Personally I always fish down the inside so I’m always sat with my rod, as soon as a bite my rod goes low and turns the fish and I play it along the bottom which is more natural for the fish and it’s shape, I’ve found if I try and bring it straight up to the light it’s a much more intense fight. Just an observation.

It used to be "Leeds Book Holders Only" - is that still the case ?

Mate how bad is the weed in pond a this time of the year

Massive length of river fished it all some really good barbel and pike in there

Decent chub though

And you put the crayfish back in,you should have killed it...

Its a Dace but hey its a fish no blank lol

About to net a chub of a couple of pound on the Nidd last week, when a pike grabbed it. Played them for several minutes and had the net under the pike when it decided to let go. Returned with pike gear and soon had one of 13 lb, but I don't think it was the fish that had the chub. Rivers are so low you could walk across in wellies at the moment.

Hi Stephen. Might have to try further afield and get onto the Nidd and Trent. Crayfish are invasive on stretches on the Swale also which can hamper the fishing although not as much in faster flow it seems... Where the crayfish are have seen a few otters about crunching away in the darkness. 😂

Put 2 bivvy pegs in your bag for your rod butts.. 👍

Hi Liam I’ve just subscribed to your channel as you show the blanks to make us all feel human 😂. I’m an old barbel angler . I’ve fished with the Leeds book for years and recently given it up as I fish the Aire and Trent mainly. The Nidd is a good place for barbel. The Ulleskelf stretch is dead due to pollution and the Ouse has a cray fish problem. Anyway tight lines

Enjoyed the video, certainly different fom your last trip at Topcliffe, have watched tthe LADASA Barbel restock video from 2023, would be very interesting to know if any of them have stayed in this area or moved on.

What club own that stretch

I've put some time in on this stretch recently and struggled, Good chance I was the other person on at the same time. The wind has been mega. Trying to learn what I can before the river starts fishing well.

You can but only If with someone from club with you who books it What strength line you got on bud ? No offence meant just observation but rivers are in worst condition for fish this time year , and considering no flow at toppy ,it took you an age to get a modest fish in ,thought you had low to mid double how long it took atleast u rested it tho

Can you get a day tickets for that stretch.

Not no expert by a long chalk but i zero my scales with a wet sling so i know the actual weights of fish cqught just throwing it out there nice chub byw 👍

What rods you using?

We're bo you get a day ticket

I’m I hearing ASOT in the background?

Thanks, nearly got snagged up but I got lucky

nice chub

That wasn't a gudgeon mate.

Know that peg. Had a huge Chub hang me up on the tree to your left. Sorry to tell you though, your gudgeon was a dace.

Is that a day ticket water ?

Hi Liam. When barbel fishing with 2 rods do you use anything to hold the rod butts down? I use bank sticks because pods just look heavy and cumbersome. Just a bit worried that the rod butts can fly up on a take.

looks marvelous, do you need a permit there?

Drinking whilst fishing is utterly irresponsible.

hi liam did you drive or walk to pegs?

Nice fish, suprised you managed to see that tiny bite, lol, great video!

£15 for 3 rods. York lakeside lodges and brickyard fishery Ripon i believe are syndicate lakes.

Mate how much is it to use 3 rods, and do you no of any syndicates or clubs round that area

Hell of a lot of swims.

They should re name the top pond bell end 😂

Any 1 no what it’s been fishing like lately

Nice one 👍 never heard of that place is it day ticket or club water mate ?

Quality video mate! Glad you had a few! We’re there next weekend, did you use solid bags on the cabin lake too? Heard everyone bait boats it out to the far margin☹️

Ibiza meets Yorkshire on a river bank....😎

I know it’s nice to catch but is there any big carp in there pal ? I’m going this weekend.which lakes the best?

How's it been fishing mate has there been many carp been coming out

Hi Liam, loved the video. I rode the Red Route last Summer, I coming back to do the Blue Route to The Fort soon and later into the Summer I'm hoping to come back and do the Red Route again with a Friend.. 👍 Keep Up the Cadence.. 😊

Wow mashallah good job 🥰🥰🥰
