Ex Saffa here, Lived in England for only a few years now….tried fishing in a few spots at campsites etc, have never had so many people check or try and stop the fishing … maybe it’s just me growing up in rural Africa and just having total freedom as a kid when fishing, but I just wish fresh water fishing here was more free and less of a closed club, and then more kids would be fishing instead of been on the streets

[@Hendy2022]

The level and quality of your videos after a few years of not watching (went of KZbin and fishing) it’s brilliant to see how much your channel has grown and the content you’re putting out! Finally getting into course fishing after years of being interested but after starting to watch you again! I’ve never been so excited been out once caught 4 trout and couldn’t of been happier ! Can’t wait to try get some carp and other species !

[@EzraSwannellFishing]

There is something wrong with your channel, Carl. Out of all the channels I subscribe too, yours is the only one that consistently interest me. All of the others I have slowly lost interest, but not yours. I think it’s because of the consistent quality in your videos, bringing them on par with most TV fishing shows.

[@papalegba6796]

It's crazy how good the fishing here is. I worked security at the train station a few years back & would go talk to the anglers during breaks. They'd tell me about the huge fish they caught & until I saw it myself I didn't believe them lol. I've witnessed 12lb barbel, 10lb Brown trout & 5lb chub caught, was told there's big carp too but not seen them. As to why the barbel are there, apparently, a few years ago the River Aire was stocked with young barbel, & what happened is a lot got stuck in this section cos there's a big weir downstream, the station rapids upstream, plus a good supply of food from various factors. It's perfect for them. Oh, & the Leeds -Liverpool canal joins the River here too, in the last bit of the canal before the lock there are 5lb perch, seen them caught also. Good perch fishing where Hol Beck joins the River near the canal also. It's amazing, you have to see it to believe it 😂

[@supergremlin78]

Hi Carl 🤙 the stretch you were fishing does usually do well for nice barbel during the day, pellet and meat on the method, I have seen huge catches in the day, and while it's been sunny! But wanted to say you should try the stretch at Thwaite Mills in Hunslet, the river splits off and the weir at the watermill fishes awesome, I go for the big pike at the armouries stretch, and also the stretch at the train station for huge chub! Would love to see you catch a 30ob river pike, I do believe these big rivers hold monsters. Tight lines bro 🤙

Only found your channel in the last few month, since you visited the river aire in leeds.

Some quality fish from the city. Do you think that people throw there food in the water after they come out of the pubs and clubs, so that keeps the quality fish there. From Justin in West Midlands.

[@papalegba6796]

It's a variety of factors. The river got stocked with barbel a few years back, a lot got trapped in this 1 mile section cos there's a big weir downstream, man-made rapids under the train station upstream (which are good for spawning), then there's the canal & a stream both empty into the River too, also bringing nutrients. Plus the river is canalised here too so doesn't have as big swings in depth/speed as elsewhere, & the rapids oxygenate the water. It's just a perfect spot for barbel to prosper.

Been fishing barbel in south africa for years, they look pretty much the same - dried corn is a really good "chum" grab a bag from the grocery store, mix like two hand fulls of water from the water you're fishing in the bucket.
