Denis White Roach Fishing On The River Aire

We join former England international, and match angling legend Denis White for a lesson in roach fishing on the beautiful River Aire in East Yorkshire.
He shows us how the WinWin range of groundbait help him catch more fish, while giving a masterclass in long whip fishing.

I remember read a article you wrote some years ago, mid 90's in "The Anglers Mail" Denis about a session you had on the tidal River Trent at Collingham fishing for bream, peg 91 or 96 I think? The club I fished with booked a match on the same venue. Believe it are not I drew the exact peg you fished and fished it exactly as you had described, same bait same tackle, everything the same. I had the best days fishing I have ever had in my life, to the point that some of the members sat behind me watching. I finished with a 94lb bag of mainly Bream, the biggest over 8lb. I still talk about it to this day. Thanks for the memories Denis.

Nice to see local and former Barnsley blacks Legend Denis White in action heard so much of him from my old friend and his fishing buddy Geoff Poucher. Lovely bloke done a lot for angling.

[@andybenstead7240]

Now there's a name Geoff Poucher .fished many a match with Geoff at my local lake Sally Walshes

[@easyfishing1936]

An angler I have always respected and I do agree with his thoughts on the feel of the fish when using a flicktip. Bill

[@maverick3743]

I used to run the midweek matches at Worsborough Res in Barnsley and Denis taught me more about fishing than any other angler. He's a bloody nice bloke and was one of the best all round anglers in the world

[@clivejones5880]

Hold old is Dennis now? I used to follow his exploits back in the early 1990's.

[@stevetowell6797]

[@nathtrodd]

A great angler

[@jasonthrower9344]

Watched this over and over now.Brilliant. don't suppose you know what pole/ whip Dennis was using. Maver signature?

[@catchmoremedia]

Not sure - I’ll try and find out.

[@markyork2551]

A refreshing change of venue ,style and most of all a sublime tribute to Dennis,great watch thanks for the variety of videos you bring nowadays Tom....Actually set up a couple of the very slim old Maver Falcon 6m flick tip whips for my match on Sunday only yesterday... ideal in the potentially bad conditions when targetting a few pound of silver fish on a natural deep brick pit where they don't like a pole over their heads.

[@roachpole1]

[@dianeirvine7624]

[@pauljames1307]

At the age he is Dennis should be taking the iron tablets seriously dogey on that bank

[@slingyourhook7526]

Nice promo but you were just catching tiddlers. Next time ask the locals how the men fish it.

[@californiancondor6860]

Dennis has forgotten more than "the men" will EVER know !!!

[@richardburns1287]

The Barbell brains? They sit behind a tip, drinking cans and on Facebook. Same as anywhere. I take a pint of reds and catch tiddlers all day.
