As a new fisherman myself, I enjoy watching Omi and her learning curve.

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks! Glad you can enjoy it with us :)

[@Emielio1]

Tench are actually my favourite species to catch! I mean, sure, I like a nice battle with a huge carp, but since many lakes over here in the Netherlands get stocked with carp bred in France, tench are somehow more "exciting" to me since they occur here naturally and lakes never get stocked with them. Also their irregular behaviour gives them a bit of a "mysterious" allure, if you ask me :) However, I'm not a snob, and my more generalist approach (braided helicopter rig with either 2 kernels of boiled feed corn or a fluoro red fake corn pop-up and 1 kernel of boiled feed corn combined with a light lead at the end) means that chances to catch either carp, tench or bream are pretty much even, and I'll be nearly as happy with a bream as I am with a tench or a carp, as long as I'm catching fish :)

[@kristianild2383]

I love fishing for roach or tench

[@kristianild2383]

The most important thing is to catch a fish

[@klr-canary7100]

I'm a carp fishermen but do love a tench session every now and then my son had a 7lb on his first trip. Hey definitely pull hard especially on lighter gear

[@chillwinston4216]

They fight like mad. Pound for pound little beasts

[@Emielio1]

@@kristianild2383 Exactly, I don't get the angry attitude some anglers get when they catch "undesirable" species (and I even think that concept in itself is rather stupid). It's all about catching fish for me. Sure, one can target particular species, but it's not at all necessary to treat other species you catch with anything but respect.

[@manusb6441]

Always a Great experience watching your videos Carl, Well Done to Omi. She's a great Fisherwoman!🎣🎣

[@fishwithcarl]

She's doing so well :) Glad you enjoyed it Manus!

[@gcarpmad]

Brilliant to see you out enjoying a fun multi specie hunt. I agree it's brilliant when out with loved ones.

[@needham831]

Excellent vid Carl. Reminded me of how I got into fishing as a kid on a local farm pond that was stuffed full of Tench and Crucians. That was the beginning of my learning curve as a fisherman. I hope Omi enjoys hers just as much.☺

[@denisbilkey4033]

Great looking lake. Well done Omi, keep on enjoying your fishing

[@JackPWMedia]

Nice vid, the frogs are marsh frogs they make a huge amount of noise! my wife is from dungeness which is where they were originally introduced and now found over most of the south east.

[@fishwithcarl]

So loud! First time we've heard them. Yes read that they were first introduced in Kent!

[@andyprest]

Still remember the video of when you guys met, a little warmer on this session! Good seeing omi progress in her fishing 👍 well done guys great watch

[@fishwithcarl]

Yes much warmer!!

[@tonymarshall4164]

Great video as always...Omi did excellently, casting accurately at distance and catching her first Tench, well done....Good luck to you both.

[@CreepzOnYT]

Hi carl i live on the same lane as newdigate fishing lakes, my dream 1 day is to come with you for a few hours to catch my pb I’m 11 and my dad is blind so he’s not really much help! Maybe one day you could make that happen, i love your videos!

[@hazfishing]

Love orfe, only ever caught 1 myself, also caught very shallow while feeding maggots. That seems to be the way forward for them, especially from spring to early autumn. Excellent and enjoyable as always Carl 🎣

[@Mikeyboofboof]

Lovely! Well done Omi and wonderful to see the fun and enjoyment of a day out captured so well.

[@fishwithcarl]

Cheers Mikey!!

[@zsstuff5089]

What a lovely lake on such a perfect day! Thanks for letting us tag along with you! It always fascinates me to see the diversity of fish on your side of the pond. I really need to see what’s biting over here.

[@fishwithcarl]

Ah you're welcome :) Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sturoe7361]

Great looking lake, love the more relaxed pleasure fishing aspect off the day, fishing is always better shared with a friend or loved one.

[@fishwithcarl]

agreed :)

[@josephquinn7356]

Awesome to see you sharing your life passion with your girlfriend!!! And even better that she obviously enjoys fishing, but most likely, fishing with you!

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Luke, glad you enjoyed it! Was such a lovely place. Yes loved seeing those shoals of orfe!! So beautiful. And was great to see her play a tench herself :) Yes Pt 3 coming soon! Fixed some issues, thankfully all sorted now.

[@craigmc83]

I love these kinds of fishing trips, just catching whatever comes along. It was great to see omi develop her skills and realise that fishing higher up would be better. Hope to see more of her learning and developing mate. I live in Sussex too at the moment so I'll have to try and make a trip to Newdigate myself.

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Craig :) She did so good! Yes, highly recommend it!

That last fish you caught looks like a giant version of my golden white cloud minnows I keep in my aquarium!

[@laserspewpew]

Months late I know, but I just caught up with this one - that was me and my dad on Copse Meadow lake! Sorry to have crowded you out, but you did well to move. I blanked and my dad had two tench all day. We came back in June and tried Lodge Lake instead - big tench on the float all day. They have some lovely lakes at Newdigate, whatever species you fancy targeting.

[@GPH2474]

Wonderful to see frogs in groups, normally its toads with the odd frog. Another great video carl and omi.

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Rob! Glad you liked it mate :)

[@matthewtanner9823]

I love tench. The Cistercian monks stocked them into pools where they stocked carp, believing that they cured the carp of any ailments (hence their nickname the Doctor fish) and they go so well with crucian carp also. I wish we had a few more fisheries like the pool that you both fished. Sadly, there is less money in that style of fishing and more in king carp fishing. Anyway, Well done Omi on your first tench.
