- Join me on a short day session in search of some pike on a small clear London river. It was eventful to say the least with some amazing specimens gracing the bank.

This will eventually become one of the most popular and best fishing channel s on RUclips.
Some good pike angling there pal. Impressed, thought you was mainly carp and chub/barbel mainly but youre a good all-rounder pal, and the all-rounders are the true anglers of us!!!
Great to see how you consider gathering pikes welfare😊 you're a top fisherman Alfie ! Great vids !
😊
I'm a big fan of Alfie, his appreciation of all types of angling is refreshing to see and a great all rounder! big perch, pike, etc... It's not all about carp, well done Alfie 👍
Thanks paul 😊
Well in mate I can’t lie you have opened my eyes a bit lately taking it back to the old free line and bagging a few
I used to fish this OLD LEA in the 1970's. BIG DACE, ROACH . Not a PIKE fisherman though. right by the side of the Ferry boat pub was this shallow bit of the LEA. Great fishing .. Good days then before the whole area was ruined. this bit though was the lead to the reservoirs if I remeber correctly.
Alfie - nice to see a Pike angler taking what he needs - and I mean the tool wrap.
Doesn't happen often (I have had 1 incident in the last 7 years) but those cutters are a godsend when you need them.
Nice Pike.............ever thought of just freelining a Sprat / Roach fished sink and draw?
Been watching you since the early nash days
You are the guy
like these videos Alfie.....keep them coming Gooner
Nice work mate and stunning colours on them pike

Hi Alfie! Well done. Congrats and greetings from Canada! :)
Look forward to seeing further episodes, have subscribed, all the best for the channels success 👍
Well done mate cracking pike, lovely markings 🎣👍
Well done fella.
There’s so many small fishing channels out there with good quality content not getting the credit they deserve. Keep up the good work and some great catches 👍
Thanks mate still early days :)
Thanks for the video. I live down the road from that stream. It has been massively depleted by the local cormorant colony so great to see there are still big pike in there. Although about ten years ago a 38lb monster was caught under the bridge where you got your first fish. I understand that there’s nothing of that sort of size left.
Great to see some good techniques in keeping the fish well and in good shape. Great video and I noticed the rat crossing the bridge behind you at 5:05 :-)
Beautiful fish and a lovely video, I live in rural North Yorkshire and I’m amazed at the river that you was fishing. Subscribed 👍
Hi Alfie - great video, lovely pike and amazing production! Watched your videos w Drennan for a long time and learnt lots - thanks for sharing. Good luck with this channel! I'll be staying tuned. All the very best for 2023

You know youre a modern angler when you take a single rod and a few bits for roving with a carp barrow.
Glad to say, I'm old school and carry my gear with my arms.
Aside from that.."laaavvvly content Alfie me old tweacle, pukka piking on a urban riwver"
Turning your dab hand to da Pike....as you say it's best to have all the kit and know how, for welfare of these fish....really impressive fish actually....
@snaggedbro needs some help from you Alfie 🤣
❤❤❤
❤❤
Are you fishing shallow Alfieor using a slipknot? 👍
Lovely! Are you self-filming?
Filming as much as I can by myself and editing everything myself🙏
@@alfierussellangler nice dude. Really enjoyable. I find it such a hassle, and something always goes a bit sideways 😳
How do you get a day ticket at copper mill? Also great video 🤝🤝
Hiya Alfie Have you fished Blackwall basin at Canary Wharf before for carp and if so any tips ?
Pepole have been trying years to catch a pike of that size and you make it look like it’s nothing mate 😂
I love your thick lower working class accent complete with plenty of glottal stops.
can you use lures for pike there?
Apart from the Walthamstow reservoir itself - The copper mill is probably one of the only places in the area you'll really manage to hook into one. There are so few of them in the neighbouring river lea itself which is very sad as the copper mill runs all the way to the mariner in the Walthamstow marshes along the river lea but it is what it is. I've fished both directions from lock 17. All the way to the Walthamstow marshes in one direction and Enfield Lock/Broxbourne the opposite way for a year and I gave up.
I used to fish the reservoir for big carp many many years ago and had a nice 18lb mirror out from the copper mill with a float rod freelining a small bit of bread, but im too much of a cheapskate to go there now as i think their prices are absolutely insane when thames water already make so much money. I think its something like £200-300 a year to fish all the lakes or £160-200 to have access to one or two of them. £15 for a day ticket. I'd rather go elsewhere.
Lea Navigation was the first place I fished as a kid 45 years ago. It's so plluted now the fish struggle to live and reproduce, you do find the odd pocket of silver fish though and along with them some decent perch and pike. I have heard rumours that some catfish have come out below Rammey Marsh lock.
@SabreTigerLover why would you give so much detail about the spot? theres poachers watching this who would happily go and take 3 pike for dinner. be careful
@@aimhigherking Catfish are not supposed to be in the Lea Navigation, if you catch one you are supposed to get in touch with the enviroment agency and get it removed. The other option is to take it home and eat it but the water is not as clean as it once was and the pollution can cause the Navigation to smell during the summer, so no thanks. This rule also apples to Zander and several other alien fish species that are causing problems in UK river systems.
@SaberTigerLover - the River Lea does hold Pike - you just need to broaden your horizons.
Broxbourne doesn't have many - the main aim here is the 'Donkey' Perch if you can connect with them.
I have had success with Lures on the Lea going beyond that point - Rye House, St Margarets, Ware and Hertford East - you just need to keep 'plugging' away (no pun intended!)
They aren't there in numbers - but that's part of the challenge - to catch a few. 2 years ago whilst at St Margarets I was speaking to a guy who showed me the picture of a 24lb Pike caught on deadbaits - and from the picture, I could see that it had come from the area.
You can't catch all the time! - if you did, it would become mundane. Not catching makes you think - particularly with lures. Shall I change the size? - the retrieve? - maybe even the depth I am fishing at? - what about the colour?
Keep at it - it can be soul destroying but they are there!
Absolutely love Alfie , take note all u pretentious “ gits “ including, most of the annoying mainstream culprits ie , Preston, guru , in particular, who aren’t worthy of mentioning in the same breath as someone who’s so genuine as Alfie .
Amazing Fishing man ! Where is this Spot? Can you leave a postcode here?
Nice fish. See the size of that rat behind you. Starts around 4:45 and goes through a few clips.
Mega 🦾🔥
Good angling fella
What
Glasses do you use mate
Look at 4:54 there’s a rat on the right
And you need a barrow? Why?
Because I’m carrying bait, tackle, camera kit, food and rods. I love my back I’d rather not have long term damage carrying my gear when unnecessary 🎣
spot the Rat at 4:48
the poles will be round there before yo know it to takeum away
With it being a secured fishery I very much doubt that. More chance of the otters unfortunately
Not deadbaiting. Quite clearly livebaiting
In fact your wrong. Walthamstow is strictly dead baiting only. So please follow rules live baiting is banned here.
