Thank you for the comment Jay. I can honestly say that it was the worst year for me. I only returned back to fishing after a 4 year break. I don't know if it was me, or just the fish but I didn't catch any chub or barbel. Two weeks ago proved much better (last two videos on my channel) at this location. I'm hoping to be back this week, unless I go walking.

Sure I'll do that in my next video!

@@daelpixphotography ok

Thanks, will do! I'm planning on going tomorrow, or Tuesday, so look out for a video :)

Addingham

Agreed with the wide angle. It's ok for different scenarios, this isn't one of them

Is this Bradford no1 water cowthorp

@@nathanmcintosh2527 No this is the Upper Nidd. Cowthorpe is 27 miles farther down the valley

New video coming tomorrow :D

@@daelpixphotography Look forward to it.

I'm sorry I haven't fished it. I would suggest you joining www.flyfishing.co.uk/forums/ ..... You'll get a lot of good advice.

I was once surrounded by spawning grayling standing in the middle of the river about 25 years ago. Only seen it once. We've also caught one grayling per cast a few times. My father and I have caught some decent sized trout there too. But we stopped going due to joining Bradford City and life. Yes there's plenty of fish rising and fly life when I was fishing it. I only started going again 2 weeks ago. Going again next week since it's had some rain so hoping to catch more fish then.

@@daelpixphotography Many thanks for your reply. I fished here stalking brownies predominantly on dry flies and caught a number of 2lb fish and lots 1lb plus also. Splendid sport in such a small river. I'm glad that the fish and fauna have returned as last time I was there as mentioned in my first post the river was barren and seemed to have a silty residue covering the whole of the river bed. I may give it another go this season now but as it's a 100 mile round trip for me I'll have to make sure I have a full tank of diesel 🙂.

@@brianperks7278 I was going to use dry fly but just didn't feel like it. It's a 60mile round trip for me. Bit annoying that the Blubberhouses road is closed, but I'm used to driving to Barden, and then following the road from there. I've asked on the clubs facebook page if there was any pollution. Silty residue? Strange. I'll keep you updated.

@@daelpixphotography There was a major incident reported downstream of Gouthwaite around the same time that caused issues. I believe some groundworks at Gouthwaite went wrong and silt washed into the river. Of course that was downstream of the stretch we are discussing. If/when I do make a trip I'll report back.

@brianperks7278 Yep someone mentioned about York Water causing some pollution.

Thanks for the kind comment

Doesn't bother me. I'm just happy to be out of the house. What you don't see me doing is staying in one spot for half an hour or longer. But obviously I'm not going to bore anyone with me just sitting there.

@@daelpixphotography Genuinely hope my comment wasn't being negative, that was definitely not my aim!

@@stewartmercer19 No I didn't see it as negative, but you were right.

@@daelpixphotography Cheers man. Just want to see the fishing... even if you blank. I /we want to see the float.. want to see you casting, feeding. It gives info. Especially with your camera which has a huge aspect and view of the area in front of you. Look at that view in front of you especially when you say'listen to the bird song for awhile'...c'mon... never mind the fish....that moment listening to nature....oh yeah......look at that view! I'd also suggest a very smaller float and letting it very slowly drag the worm along thebottom without any weight apart from the worm letting it drag. If it is 2 foot in depth. give it 4ft as a tail... maybe even 6.ft... but with the minimum amount of float possible in weight. Not trying to tell you how to suck eggs...

If you watch last years videos where I fish for chub and barbel, I tend to not catch anything apart from a couple of videos. I hate not catching anything but that's fishing for you. Might be my fault with me not getting out of bed early enough because they tend to bite more in the morning (and evening) than when I arrive. Maybe this year I'll wake more earlier. I chose that aspect ratio because it has the stabilization. I don't want anybody to be sea sick with me moving around so much, especially if I bend down. Maybe I'll try different views :) .... I actually caught more fish taking the float off and leaving the shot on. It was the same last week too. I should have gone back yesterday (24th May) because of the rain we've had but had something to do. Might decide to go next week. Thank you for the feedback it's always appreciated!!

Oh that rock. True haha

Thanks Stuart

It's the rendering settings I used which is why the video is so bad. The grass (and everything else) looks perfect in Davinci using the vibrant setting, but once RUclips compresses it, the video looks awful. Such a shame they compress them so much. Looks like I'm still trying to get my head around the rendering settings. I'll be fishing back there next week with floating beetles and worm. I'm sure I haven't seen any beetles there before, or I haven't took any notice.

@@daelpixphotography You're not the only one with problems with RUclips compression woes. It's often complained about. It's while since I fished up there but sometimes there were no beetles about at all but they still seemed to catch. Good luck on your next visit.

Hi Richard. It's a nice little river. The water is owned by Bradford No1 (the club I'm with) and Leeds Amalgamation has How Stean Gorge and to where I fish. No day tickets for either club. I was thinking about joining Nidderdale for below the reservoir, but I won't think about it more just yet..... No1 has a length at Summerbridge too. Email me via my website if you require more information.

Yep they still have the water there.

Agreed. This video is better than Ep 33. It must have been something to do with the High Sharpness setting. Just been fishing, so I'll edit this video and see what you think. You have no idea how much it means when I get feedback. You're the first person to give me any. Thank you

@@daelpixphotography I seem to remember the high sharpness setting on my webcam seemed to make things worse. If I can help I will. There's no point in leaving people floundering about.

Which is why I'm testing

​@@daelpixphotography Hope you get it sorted, and catch a fish while trying.

@@jorvikangler I have another video coming tomorrow. Didn't do any fishing sadly. Should be the final 'test video' I do, but I might do a 4k 60fps in my next video. The setting set to High might have been the cause of the quality for this video. Gone back (and staying with ) the Medium setting, as well as High (Vibrant) Colour.

Thanks. I have appointment on Thursday. I should be better then, but I'll probably be back to being in pain next week.... The reel is a Hardy Gem and love it. I think I only like it because of the sound it makes🤣

@@daelpixphotographyOne of Hardy's many attempts at a cheap reel. Perfectly functional and, as you say, makes a nice noise.

I'm not too sure if it was an alder. They have upright/vertical wings - this one has flat/horizontal wings.

@@daelpixphotography Yeah. he alder looks a bit like a sedge. Having watched the video again I'm certain it's a stonefly.

@@jorvikangler Just looked stonefly up, you could be right there. Thanks. Hmmm stonefly patterns might be on the cards then.

@@daelpixphotography May be worth a try but don't know many people that have done much with them in this country. They work early season in the Nordic countries where they hatch a bit later.

Look a nice stretch that is it the Bradford City angling club water

Yes they still have the Aire at Skipton

Nice video, river looks lovely, those jig hooks work when fishing upstream, like Czech nymphing or high sticking.

I don't mind if I don't catch anything, for me it's being outside in the fresh air. I'm hoping this season will better and I'll catch more fish in general. When I started fishing, it was ledgering and float fishing in rivers, and stillwaters, so I know what to look out for when finding fish. It depends on the river and the way the current flows. I look for seams (between fast and slow moving water), top and bottom of rapids (shallow areas) - Maybe I'll do a video on it next month because it's easier to show rather than tell someone as there's so many different factors to look out for when it comes to finding trout and grayling in a river. Because I've fished this stretch of river numerous times I know where the fish will or should be.

Fishing with another fly wasn't going to help me catch anything. It's more down to the fly I use.

@@daelpixphotographyI'm talking about fishing your nymph under an indicator

@Gfour3flyfshing I did use an indicator a couple of times last year but didn't see the point, so I don't use it any more.

I'll be tying some jig flies with tungsten beads soon when I get the hooks by a very kind soul in the USA when I have them delivered. I was thinking about trying the river again tomorrow, but I won't have the time. So maybe Tuesday

I have no idea what it's like in the Spring. I hardly fish it.

I couldn't wade out further because it became much deeper. Both the Wharfe and Aire used to be stocked and I'm glad they don't any more. It gives the wild trout a chance to recuperate.

Thank you for the kind comment. I can't wait to get out fishing again in March. It's just a little too wet, rainy, windy and cold at the moment.

A lot of it is quite shallow at normal levels with the odd deeper snaggy sections.

I did think it was for debrs when editing the video. Thanks for confirming

I'm in the 2 clubs that are next to one another on the areas I fish on the Aire.....This day on the Ribble wasn't the best to day to go out but it was worth getting some fresh air. I'm going back here this week. The weather is supposed to be better, hopefully it won't be as windy. Need to use the maggots up before they turn into casters.

Sorry no I'm From Yorkshire. I have holidays in Scotland once a year. Link to playlist ruclips.net/p/PLP0njdKr4zytPFHAhfrc6jeo8tLzIHqgd

The river eden has some big greyling

Thanks for the comment. It isn't vintage.

Thanks for the comment. I've had the fly box for a number of years now and I think my father won it in a raffle. I couldn't tell you the brand of it.
