Hi Ian, You're a gentleman and a scholar. I truly appreciate your continued support not only is it helping our channel grow its a great source of motivation.

A lovely little presentation, some super results to be had in flood conditions. Thank you for taking us along.

[@silentangling]

Many thanks for taking the time in watching and commenting it really helps the channel

[@harryturner3063]

A very productive session in flood conditions. Enjoyed watching it, thank you!

[@silentangling]

Hi Harry, Many thanks for the kind words and your time spent watching and commenting its really helping our channel grow which is very rewarding indeed.

[@stevehodges4092]

A very productive session. Your tripod set up was quite a feat of engineering. On flooded rivers I tend to use just 1 rod and carry minimal gear in a rucksac so that I can move swims easily. Tea and flask for me as using a stove is fine but necessitates carrying some extra items for making drinks etc. I did like your filter coffee apparatus, bet it tasted great on the bank. Another enjoyable video, well done.

[@borderlands6606]

My favourite swims tend to be a 20 minute walk from the car, and across stiles, so a barrow is out of the question. A one rod set up beckons, as I'm worn out by the time I reach the swim nowadays.

[@silentangling]

Hi Steve, I wanted to explore the concept of using standard carp gear for barbel so I had to be a bit creative with the gear but it kind of worked. I’m totally with you on the 1 rod and mooching approach however it was nice to take a few luxury items. Massive thanks as always for your continued support and time spent commenting.

[@silentangling]

⁠​⁠@@borderlands6606 I’m with you on the 1 rod approach but this one stretch does allow for the use of a barrow. As a young pup I worked as a labourer and swore never to push a barrow again and this session confirmed my dislike of anything with only one wheel and no engine. Thank you for watching and time spent commenting

[@alexthompson3228]

Fished that peg ha ha loved that stretch when I went although it was a lot lower I remember getting 1 barbel on feeder in that peg and 2 chub on rolling meat

[@richardmillinson5111]

Really well presented, very informative..All the things that matter on display. Thanks for sharing. Tight lines

[@silentangling]

Hi Richard, Thank you kindly for such positive feedback and thank you for your time in watching. It not only helps our channel grow but it's a great source of motivation for myself.

[@stevewilliams5428]

More excellence. PVA bags make sense at this time of year for a more targeted baiting approach? I've tied regular knots in my safety rope for wet/cold hands. Thank you.

[@silentangling]

Hi Steve, My beloved and postie are going to start to ask questions about the amount of stockings arriving over the next few months. I'll knot my rope asap. Many,many thanks as always for your continued support it's going to make them cold mornings all worth while.

[@parklandpiker]

What a session well done,i have nanaged a couple of pike in my last 2 sessions...once again good video i liked the tree in front of the camera....

[@silentangling]

Congratulations on kicking off your pike season mine commences on the 1st November. Maybe a bit artistic on my part with the dead tree but one must flex the artistic muscle once in a while. Thanks as always for your continued support

[@AnAverageAngler]

That’s a good days fishing. Hopefully I’ll get out soon as the past 2 weekends have been flooded off 😞

[@silentangling]

Hi Mark, Catching the river right has been tricky of late but the Wye has needed a good flush through. Many thanks as always for taking the time to watch and especially to comment. Looking forward to your next vid

[@bryn3652]

Great video. Do you think the leader you are using could lift up with the flow of the water? Ive wanted to use them myself but worried this could happen

[@silentangling]

Hi Bryan, I had the same concerns as yourself so I opted for the use of a backlead and paying out a good amount of slack to hopefully overcome the issue. A huge thanks for taking the time to comment as it really helps our channel and community grow.

[@bryn3652]

@@silentangling I'll have to try it for myself and see what I think

[@silentangling]

@@bryn3652 please drop back in with your opinion as I'd like this channel to be a good source of info.

[@bryn3652]

@silentangling I think getting that last few meters of line pinned down is really important I have been using long heavy fluorocarbon leaders with rig putty

[@silentangling]

I couldn't agree more, upstream ledgering with a good bow has proved to be very affective for me this season as I think the tension of any line the fish come into contact with is the major factor in spooking fish. I will however give the long flouro with putty a go on a smaller slower moving river I'm about to fish for the next few weeks so keep your eyes peeled for that. Thanks again

[@Accyboom]

Do you think there is a real advantage in using two rods? Ive used two rods a few times but never really found any real advantage. Found that i lost focus and the extra rod was more of a distraction than an advantage.

[@silentangling]

Hi, I totally agree with you. For my preferred style of barbel fishing on the Wye the two rods setup is far more hassle than its worth, however I can see it being effective on the larger river such as the Trent. Many thanks for taking the time to watch and especially the time spent in commenting it not only helps the channel grow put it keeps me motivated.

[@Accyboom]

@silentangling yes I think on the trent because of its size 2 rods is good. I've tried several times and just don't feel comfortable with a two rod set up. I know I'm one of the minority though. Almost everyone I see uses two rods for barbel now. Anyway great videos. Very relaxing, educating and interesting. We'll done

[@bryn3652]

The wary fish can often sit further downstream picking up the food items from your feeder or pva bag so a second rod fished there can be a advantage. That's what I've found.

[@silentangling]

@@bryn3652 I’ve often wondered if that’s the case

[@silentangling]

@@AccyboomI was extremely fearful of a double take as the thought of letting a hooked fish time to get into trouble was very concerning.

Hi, Beautiful words thank you for sharing and thank you for your support

[@martincallaghan8817]

The more I watch you the more I realise our approach to this is very similar " except my poison is ringtons gold tea can't do tea out of a flask 🤣oh and I do take bacon oh and sausage oh and egg's on occasion, good bit of advice there young angler's get yourself a dog spike and a rope or as I bought a horse lunging rein cheap as chips of Amazon and could just be a investment that saves your life . Really enjoyed the video " when I put small barbel back I always wonder if they'll grow to be that monster we dream about" going mushy in my old age . 🤣🤣

[@silentangling]

Hi Martin, I shall take you up on your beverage recommendations and don’t be surprised if the next time you do a on the bank fry up you don’t see a on beaten up tiley hat appear from the undergrowth, make mine brown sauce. Great advice on the horse rein and I’ll be honest them little barbel always but a smile on my face as they’re so dam cute. Many thanks for your continued support and taking the time to comment its become the part of making films that I really look forward too.

[@martincallaghan8817]

@@silentangling with you on the brown sauce ' on the hat front it's a green tweed bucket hat I bought in Ireland more years now than I care to remember but it keeps the thatch warm and dry . 🤣

[@MrLouRules]

Another enjoyable video though I must confess to a tinge of jealousy at the number of barbel you seem to catch! Question - what was the thinking behind using the PVA bag approach rather than a feeder?

[@silentangling]

@@MrLouRules This is a known barbel swim with a match the day previous producing 40lb of barbel so I'm guilty of edging the odds in my favour. I was interested in exploring the concept of barbel fishing with a standard carp set up so PVA was the only tool available, as a spod would of spread the bait too far in the flow. I will however use PVA in the colder months just to get a few free offerings around the hookbait. Hope this makes sense and a massive thank you for your continued support as the channel is growing rapidly and it's you guys which have made it possible and for that I'm truly greatful.
