Couldn’t help but keep looking at those house opposite…absolutely beautiful

[@stevebrookes7971]

Nice video. Nice to see that you also keep a long line between pole and float when caster fishing to get the best bait presentation. Caster fishing is still a great method for the roach on my local T&M canal and am still using the old peacock dibbers to catch 'em on.

Another great video from the Cadence team, Alan’s a top bloke and Chappy’s camera work is brilliant, I loved seeing the kingfisher, as all know Fishing isn’t just about catching fish. Keep ‘em coming lads. Tight Lines Steve Amison

Hello, I am a Japanese angler. I love fishing. Because it was a splendid fishing channel, I subscribe your channel.

[@delwigzieful]

we always fished the leeds and liverpool canal in the 70's it was stuffed with fantastic tench they where fantastic days the world was a better place then,i remember catching an excellent 8LB 2oz tench we won so many matches made great friends been along time since i fished this great canal to many idiot's now beating people up and stealing there tackle today i fish the rivers mainly the river wye amazing place,once again the cadence team bringing us another awesome video thank you, today it's all about commercial fishing people feel much safer at a commercial that's why all the canals are sadly ghost venue's i remember matches 80 pegs they where on leeds liverpool canal wish them day's would comeback cheers cadence awesome video yet again chappy the man,ALIEN

[@cadencefishinguk]

Pretty much the conversation we had on the day. You're correct of course, but there are areas, like this, where you can fish and not be at any particular risk. Cheers.

[@alanbarnes8766]

The canal scene is thriving in the North West, Alien. I am not aware of any muggings etc, other than feeling mugged when you draw a bad peg. The Leeds-Livvy and the Lanky offer rewarding sport as long as you choose pegs by doing a bit of homework beforehand.

[@delwigzieful]

Alan yes i agree but the head of tench this canal used to hold is long gone. The stretch we fished on was fabulous kevin ashurst would show up quite regularly.I'm not a fan of commercial fishing as the fish can't move anywhere there stuck in 1 place also there is far less skill in commercial fishing.But i understand why people like commercial fishing.Since fishing the river wye there is nothing like it awesome fishing chubb roach perch and the mighty barbel my best barbel from the wye is 14LB 2OZ absolutely awesome place to fish and it's picturesque drop dead beautiful ROLL ON NEXT SUMMER alan lots of people will not fish the canal anymore purely for safety reasons mate Alien

Cracking video, loved the washing up liquid tip, I am not a jealous person , but, I would love one of those houses, the view, fishing on your doorstep and 5 mins down the 61 to God's ground. Belting COYWM

Well presented Alan and informative vid. Got a tip for you ....try some hand cream every day to help your cracked fingers! 😅 Andy James

[@alanbarnes8766]

Nice tip about hand cream. Yes, my hands were in a right old state. Had spent a full day the previous weekend power washing the decking at Barnes Towers. I hate that job!

[@simonjarrard5330]

Me and my best mate huggett love fishing the cut years ago ,we were in at the time one of the top canal teams,he still fishing the caster today,great video, sly old me.

[@steveames8286]

Fantastic camera work.

[@cadencefishinguk]

Thanks

[@hewittb68]

Certainly am Ian although sadly, my rapidly advancing age tends to mainly restrict me to the local commercials.

[@rapala68]

Another great video. Lots of information and great camera work. Can you tell me when the CS8 reels are back in stock please.

[@cadencefishinguk]

rapala68 Thanks for the comment. We are expecting the CS8 reels back in stock in next few weeks. Cheers James

[@grahamnash9794]

Great session, really nice result. And as for Chappie's footage of the kingfisher, simply stunning.

[@markrichmond1468]

Great vid 👍🏻 some nice property on that far bank lol . One day heh 😏

[@cadencefishinguk]

Alan owns most of them😁

[@easyfishing1936]

Hi thank you for another great video. I love canal fishing tho’ mine is centred on the GU and occasionally the Wey Navigation. Some great tips for caster fishing. One nice point is that you see what Alan is using from preference not what the sponsor wants! As always Alan’s commentary combined with Ian’s superb camera work makes for a great video. Loved the shots of the Kingfisher! Bill

[@markwaterman8845]

Totally agree with your point about what Alan is using from preference. 👍

[@cadencefishinguk]

Cadence sell poles, whips, reels, rods and nets. James, Paul K, Alan and any other Cadence ambassadors are free to use whatever terminal tackle they want👍

[@markwaterman8845]

Excellent gear it is too👍

[@nigeljohns9760]

Great stuff once again and a pleasure to watch we'll done mate 👍

[@fishingrhod]

i'll tell you why fish love casters - because some freshwater invertebrate larvae turn into casters before emerging for the final free-flying, breeding stage of their life. the casters we used as bait perfectly mimic this natural food source.

[@cadencefishinguk]

Good call👍

[@garywilliamsandmitsy]

Cracking film again ian and brilliant to see alan on canal. This stretch I use alot when I do pike marathons in lancashire. Tend to fish at least 6 venues in one session . It's a feel good stretch full of fish. And the odd chicken. Well done cracking tips as always from alan.👍

[@cadencefishinguk]

What do you catch the chickens on Gary, corn?

[@garywilliamsandmitsy]

@@cadencefishinguk haha. Lol I had too prize the teath from a patterdale terrier who was trying to kill a chicken on the bank. Someone not walking there dog on a lead. And a family in house on opposite bank were very distressed. Unfortunately the chicken was Kentucky's 😮😮😮

[@garylawlor2288]

An excellent, informative video, but the star of the show was the kingfisher. Amazing shots, well done Chappy 👏. I have never seen such urban shots featuring a kingfisher, absolutely brilliant

[@cadencefishinguk]

lol, even Alan might agree to that. Yes, apparently old Kingy is there regular as clockwork!!! It's only five minutes down the road and it's the best view of one I've seen too (Chappy)

[@garylawlor2288]

@@cadencefishinguk Ah brilliant mate. I see them regularly on a few spots I fish but they generally don't hang around for a photo. But I had a funny incident recently with a kingfisher when it nearly took an artificial frog lure is was using, made my day TBH 🤣

[@tomwinterfishing9065]

This should be good😄

[@hewittb68]

Another cracking video and impressive camera work Ian, particularly the kingfisher shots.

[@cadencefishinguk]

Hi Bryan 👍 hope you're well sir? Still wetting a line ?

[@cadencefishinguk]

Very fortunate with kingy 😁 best supporting actor

[@davetaylor8858]

If the depth's a uniform 3.1/2' from the end of the keep-net why is he fishing at 15mtrs ?? His pole probably cost more than my car did ! I'd go for my trusty 5mtr whip fished long-line with the flick tip.

[@cadencefishinguk]

Each to their own,👍👍😄

[@alanbarnes8766]

Hi Dave, I fished at 13m and on the same line to my left at 15m because most of the leaves were gathering between the towpath and out to 12 metres, pushed there by the wind. You would have had a big struggle trying to fish a whip with the line catching on lots of leaves.

[@FishingMadDad]

Absolutely fantastic video Alan. Thanks.

[@alanbarnes8766]

Most kind of you to say so, sir!

[@terryyakamoto3488]

Alan seems to have a lot of old cosmetic bottles lying about at home. I can just picture him riddling his casters in a blonde beehive wig, high heels and chiffon nightie

[@cadencefishinguk]

Not sure who to worry about most, you or Alan🤔😁😄
