This guys Cuttle Mill carp fishing videos back in the day inspired me to take up the challenge of the sport, still trying today ! he gives good honest instruction without sales patter, top bloke ! 👍👍

[@gbwildlifeuk8269]

Without the sales patter? You mean apart from the Nash boilies and top and the praise for the cadence rods!

[@34136TS]

A brilliant watch! Love to see Des on the river bank, I've been following him for years. And James is so humble, an excellent angler in his own right and the nicest guy you're ever likely to meet. The new Cadence specimen rods are superb too, very nice actions that cast so well and yet are still a joy to use - remind me of the Carbonactive blanks from years ago.

[@MrTim207]

Some great advice from both Des and Chappie. Lovely stuff, thank you. I used to live just a few miles from that stretch of the Severn. I moved to Yorkshire before starting fishing again many years later. Sometimes I wish I was still there, I miss that river!

[@markthurston601]

Love him I could sit and watch him and listen all day he is one with the river not about making films and advertising total respect

[@jbradshaw4236]

I feel the need to comment , Des has always been such a creative and inspirational angler for me. He's a thinking angler and in my opinion what has made him so successful is his confidence not too follow the crowd. He has always had confidence to keep things simple and be creative. Equally he doesn't shy away from modern developments... Plus it's easy to loose sight of just how professional and natural he is infront of the camera. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@markthurston601]

I love how time doesn't matter to Dez that's a river angler he just loves the nature of it all

[@franckyberset1311]

Des Taylor the legend of fishing 👌👌

[@JS-xn3ql]

Another great one 👍🏻

[@dylanscally]

The cadence chap James is probably one of the best fishermen you will see on KZbin, I know he probably did not want to step on anytoes but I would have liked to have seen him knuckle down and get stuck in on the barbel with his methods. I know this is to promote the rod which are great btw but you cant beat a bit of healthy competition. Maybe on the next one.

[@CadenceFishingUK]

James tried his best to catch something on the day, but it proved tough for both of them. We didn't want to waste the day so added a teaser for better times ahead this summer with Des returning a lovely fish. We'll return and no doubt have a fish filled session in June

[@166Chatty]

Really enjoyed that Des, lots of tips from both the specimen angler and match angler combined.

[@KevinKempOvenmagic]

Great stuff, always enjoy watching these 😊

[@christophersimpson4093]

Always love your stuff des 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

[@markwood9987]

Des is a legend used to read is articles in the fishing mags way before the internet.

[@grahamnash9794]

Great video. No fish, but that means nothing when Des Taylor is spilling his wisdom for our use, I've long admired our Des for his up front honest tip delivered in his wonderful blunt way, that never dresses up his words with ribbons and rosettes. Just good advice learned from many years spent in the hard knocks institute of good angling. As for those rods, aren't they so very pretty. Real eye candy.

[@shropshireladoutdoors743]

You mean talking his bullshit

[@PhilORourke]

Programmes like this reinforce my love for me fishing. Great stuff.

[@silverfox2208]

No fish to show, but so what. It was nice to see Des again, haven't seen him for yonks. Good to see that Cadence are making the effort to expand their range of rods too. Nice Video team.

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Yes, you can't win em all.... especially following a cold frost...hey ho!

[@jamiemacdonald4743]

Really enjoyed watching this Dez Looking forward to a bit of fishing on the Severn staying at Bewdely for a week from Sat 👍👍

[@PatMo1888]

Sometimes it's not just about catching 👍 Great to see you out and about, James. Hope this means Chappie's up for more filming!

[@CadenceFishingUK]

I am Pat👍

[@robthomas2133]

Always great to watch these videos. What next for James? id love to see a canal video where hes targeting carp on the pole and showing that you dont have to go to commercials to catch them! :)

[@CadenceFishingUK]

@@robthomas2133 we have lots of ideas, just a case of turning them into reality. Thanks for your suggestion.👍

Two brillant person... thx for this wideo

[@markthurston601]

Love this man he was the one that made me try goyt river marple and I loved it love his calming voice

[@CadenceFishingUK]

How do you get on with the Goyt Mark? Any good?

[@robshaw3655]

The tinge of green on our stretch of the upper severn in wales is often the curse of death. Tends to fish better for barbel when varying degrees of brown or after the green tinge when its greying down to clear. Going to put a few tips of Des when we are allowed back in to wales to fish....looks like after the close season now..

[@raihtiup2835]

amazing technic of calling fishes....to be inspiration for us, success always its my uncle

[@bigchris80]

Legends.

[@superfinster]

31:07 Looks like you missed a bite there Des, just as you were preparing to catty some boilies in ! Typical, always get a bite when your hands are full ! 🤷😁

[@markthurston601]

Well up here in the northwest Jerry gleeson is my main hero when it comes to barbel and river fishing and I class the rivers around stockport a definite harder level and Gerry has worked his majic and pulled some unbelievable specimens

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Yes, I did a feature with Jerry for angler's Mail quite a while ago..I put him on the map👍

[@stevenflint5271]

It dont matter not catching when you got a lovely place like that will be another day hopefully

[@234cheech]

love des

[@danielsmith3562]

It looks like a nice place

[@stephenhollinrake916]

Brilliant video,, can definitely agree on this information on the ribble to ,, would like to know if anyone finds braid hook lengths better than flouro tho it's not good in snags unless it's coated,, , the level of knowledge from des delivered spot on, 👍 , how do the rods compare to say others ,, I got a 15 ft match 0, it's absolutely superb only drennen ultra light compares to it without going silly money.,

[@Jamie-Barbus-Broomfield]

Cracking video once again gents 👍🍻

[@tommos16]

What a genius and a treasure this man is

[@markthurston601]

A river changes by season water levels temp speed new snags it's always changing and fish can be travelers it's so much more to the angler when they get there aimed catch forever learning

[@markthurston601]

River fishing is for the super clever anglers with running water and snags

[@dylanscally]

Last question from me, what cadence reels were on the rods?

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Hi, Des was using the CS10 5000 reels. You can check them out in our website: www.cadencefishing.co.uk

[@paulcole4902]

Is this stretch just below the boat Inn pub ?

[@MrAnderson321]

No, a lot further downstream. It’s called the ‘meadow’, the last few pegs of the Rowley Angling Club and its great all year round stretch of the river, especially in the Winter.

[@jjanglinguk]

Great video... Do you think the close season should be shortened a bit? Or is it perfect the way it is now to keep fish populations healthy?

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Ask around and opinions will vary. Personally, I think it should be scrapped with perhaps a keep net ban enforced between the dates. James I think agrees with it being changed/scrapped. However, there are plenty of places to fish, so we have to accept for now. But what a lovely time of year we miss out on by the rivers, unless you fish for eels and game fish.

[@mickbrooks8114]

Think it should go proved it worked on natural venues over years

[@shropshireladoutdoors743]

The closed season was devised to keep us rif raf of the river while the salmon ran up the river so the only people on the river would be the gentry salmon fishing its a class thing

[@CadenceFishingUK]

@@shropshireladoutdoors743 and probably why it will stay in place, despite no real evidence to support it🙄

[@shropshireladoutdoors743]

@@CadenceFishingUK here on the severn there is a call to stop taking salmon and to return them and even stop fishing altogether if that's the case we should be allowed to carry on fishing but it's not just fish it's the fauna and flora that has a chance to breed and grow without people 😀 and that can't be bad

[@dylanscally]

How long ago was the segment at the end? Des looks younger.

[@CadenceFishingUK]

He had his beard and hair shorter so probably pre covid. Does it really matter?

[@woodengarden7698]

What diameter is the thread in your reel;

[@markthurston601]

I've always thought in my mind that a match or carp angler comes to there prime after fishing hard for ten years a river angler bides his time lives his life and for ever learns river fishing and nature is more important

[@christophersimpson4093]

😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@markthurston601]

One problem that worries me is winter rains from dirty salt and drainage from roads how does that effect the natural life in the rivers were can the fish go to hide from toxins

[@stevieltiktokshop]

channel Loved the video! Gave you a sub so I get all your future updates!

[@Mr_Mank0]

Fished in that very same spot with Des. Don't shoot at the rabbits when hunting the deer.

[@kissarnold9124]

Can you tell me where is it please? Thanks

[@danielsmith3562]

Were abouts on severn is this

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Full details on club website (details at end of video) and Des says where at the start of video....🤔

[@stucrossland3719]

Coalport

[@andrewbrown8697]

Thanks James but this was so different from your usual vlogs. Nice guy and no doubt good at what he does, but oh my god very slow to watch. Would have been unbearable without your commentary. Put this on you list of ‘perhaps I’ll do it again’ list.

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Andrew, we do recognise how essential a fish being caught is to a video presentation. However, we all blank from time to time. It would appear the majority of viewers have enjoyed this video so far, but we can also accept the viewpoint you have expressed, and we know we can't please everyone everytime. Keep the faith 👍Cheers. Chappy
