Hi Charly, my 8 year old son loves anything to do with fishing and is spending lots of time watching videos on KZbin. It looks like you’re local to us? I know nothing about fishing and haven’t a clue where to start. Is there any local fishing groups my son and I can come and watch before we look into him starting/getting all the equipment etc? Any Information would be gravely appreciated, thanks.

Such a shame that what looks like a really nice fishery has been neglected. Some 50 years ago I remembered hearing rumours of big pike being caught there . If Thirsk ac offer day tickets for that ve venue I'd give it a try .

I was there last week in all rain and struggled but all came good

Sadly couldn't be more wrong about fish stocks up North we are in exactly same boat as you reffer to down south , year by year it's noticeable the decline in all species , especially pike and perch , but also barbel and chub ,areas on wharfe and Nidd that were prolific are now very patchy and in some cases almost void of fish. There is always right conditions where fishing seems to improve but that's only cause everything is right to catch . Sadly pollution , predation , and humans especially foreign people take fish to eat , which is why I think not to far down line we maybe need to stop advertising the remaining fishing venues that are still in reasonable condition

Seem to be a good head of Barbel there, unlike the southern rivers nowadays! 👍

Its not Leeds , its a lightly fished area ,and hope it stays that way ,seen so many places change because of people sharing stuff , and its not prolific its hard going most of time ,just as anywhere catch it right like tom did u get better sport

Some good fish there. Was this a LDASA stretch you were catching on? It doesn't look tree-lined enough to be Topcliffe and wrong side of the river for Asenby?

Well done, buddy. Some lovely fish there, Tom. Well done as always. All the best.👍😁

Stokesley AC club water until June 2017, syndicate for 12 months after that

I was waiting for one of your rods go wrap round like it usually does on the river Tom !!!!!! Never mind buddy …… When I lived in Teesside back in the day it was always said there was some nice fish in there. There was supposed to be some Pike as well someone told me but that was probably about 20 years ago or more. There’s got to be some monsters hiding in there somewhere. Could do with some underwater cameras and see what’s going on. Anyway, all the best buddy. 👍👍😁😁🎣🎣

Fish are supposed to thrive on neglect. Not always the case, as this lake illustrates.

Well in mate enjoyable videoc

Not looking promising Tom .

Very good description.

Quite a day Tom! Thoroughly enjoyed that. 🙂

You hit the jackpot with that slack. Stunning barbel.

Fantastic result there, good water craft.

Well done Tom, just hope I can do something similar when I am 81. 😀

Red letter day Tom congratulations!

Well done Tom!

When did you film this charly(tom) had some outstanding success on the wharfe this season. Had lots of multiple catches . Even beat my best and had 10 in a sitting. Nothing above 8lb 12 oz though but still awesome fishing.

Love the videos you put on hear thanks.

Neglected ponds are were tench always thrive , loads of weeds means predation cover . Mabe crusians to .. Id definitely go back crack of dawn when its still to see if they are around

Hi Charly - A worm chucked in, up against that "Mill House" wall looks very Perchy, assuming you're allowed ? I'd have a little Telescopic rod already set up just to try for 10 minutes on your way to your other pegs !! 🎣

Hi there, me and my dad watch your fishing videos and remember fishing these same venues years ago. I've noticed you fish bedale beck, but we were wondering if you know who now has the rights from what used to be the leeds angling club stretch that joins the swale? Many happy memories of good days up that neck of the woods. Great video's ,looking forward to more.

Last fished (officially) in 2018 - so it's only six years of neglect - was down there last month, strimmed all around the place and cut back lots of overhanging buahes.

Shame to what could clearly be a lovely place to fish left in such a state. Although happened here in Darlington with Brinkburn pond. Good local pond like this would be and should be family friendly days out for parents and kids, just a nice little place to take your little ones and teach them how to catch a few little ones without the worry of full time carp nuts bivvied up every 5 yards. But sadly we let these places rot as we're doing to so many towns and local areas. Every where you look these days somethings neglected or in disrepair. Anyways nice to see you out n about again tom.

Used to fish it 30 years ago, was full of fish and my mate had a 16lb pike out. Its always suffered with weed and at times blue/green algae. also parking not ideal.

Thanks for the video. I went to visit the top section yesterday in the evening sun and a lovely spot to fish. I’ve not fished in about 30 years and I’ve just bought a rod licence to take my son who’s 8 and can’t wait!

Was a really good pond back in the day, had some big Carp in it, plus Tench Bream and Pike. Could be great again but needs a lot of work. It was previously a Stokesley AC Water

Had some big carp out there in the past..

Lovely stuff!

Nice tour Tom , you certainly get your steps in .

Looks like it could be a lovely lake with a lot of work. Wonder why it was abandoned in the first place ?

boblaclat

awesome video dude make more, you got my sub 🙏 ❤

Hi Tom...wondered if you fancied helping me put my fly reel together , backing line and leader etc I'll buy you lunch 🙂

10:04 have you considered euronymphing to get the flys deep with a long drift

Excellent

So valuable and great video

That's a lot of editing... Thanks so much for taking the trouble to make this super-clear video, much appreciated.

Job well done! I bet a company would want 500 plus for that ,your an old Gem !

Doesnt look to be that many fishable pegs at Helperby nowadays.I fished a few club matches in early 80"s on that stretch..I seem to remember there was a small weir also that was packed with chub.

Seems to createn a clear path through the grasses

I like your appreciation of all fish big or small. Becoming rare. 🙂

Excellent video. I didn't know where to start until I found this video (the mower manual was useless). Anyway, having stripped off the blade and the cover I found the clutch belt was still in good condition, it had just slipped off as the clutch adjustment bolt had worked away too far from the body. To get the belt back on I further loosened the clutch adjustment bolt, got the belt back on, retightened the clutch adjustment to the right point and the power drive was back. Thanks and I now know what to do when the belt does eventually pack in.

Thank you so much for tutorial. Easy to follow…saved me £££ 👍

That water looked very inviting . It's better to catch all those baby's than none at all . Great weather and views. Really enjoyed. Cheers charlie...

Another Great session Tom, did you feel a bit 'Rough' the next day!
