Fishing With Des Taylor: Barbel Fishing on the River Severn.

[@backpitbivvyrat]

Des Taylor is the angling Dad everyone should have. So much respect for you Des.

[@Natureandfishing]

Thank you! 👍

[@MrMdebenham]

Just Discovered Des Taylor on here his voice is so soothing and knowledgeable never fished for Barbel but would want him with me, if nothing else I could listen to his stories all day long, fabulous!

[@barrycooper8640]

When he's in the pub he's even lovelier.

[@dk2428]

This is what it's all about. So much wisdom shared in a wonderful way at a beautiful place. Des is a legend.

[@Natureandfishing]

Thank you ! 👍

[@robwebber1217]

My god I haven't seen Des Taylor for years I'm so glad he's still fishing and making content. I've learned so much from him it's great to carry on learning. The man is a national treasure. 🙂

[@Natureandfishing]

Thank you very much for your kind words 👍

[@ernstcoetzer809]

Bob Ross of fishing…. Thank you!

[@zackmoore147]

Was going to type the same thing 👍

[@kevinsteele7232]

Except Bob Ross is a charlatan who can't paint.

[@andrewdowns5979]

Your enthusiasm is infectious can't wait for the floods to recede to get back out on the mighty trent.

[@R1ckyfrankl1n]

I learnt to fish for Barbel following big Des on DVD many years ago. I caught big fish in rivers close to a city thanks to him. Follow this advice and you will catch great fish. What a guy

[@Natureandfishing]

Thank you Ricky!

[@jamesross1799]

I remember watching "a specialist approach to barbel " donkeys years ago and I have to admit you won't go far wrong if you take des's advice.

[@monoworldwielkopolska]

What a beautiful place to fish. Beautifully captured nature and its surroundings. I envy the silence. Thank you for the guide

[@Natureandfishing]

Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed it

[@josephquinn7356]

I'm a beginner Carp Angler (in experience only {Im 58 yrs old😉}) from the USA. I’ve heard your name (and references to your incredible angling history) mentioned on YT about a thousand times and finally came across one of your videos. I loved it! As you likely know, we don't have many (if any) professional/Legendary carp anglers over here. So I’m forced to live out my carp fishing dreams vicariously through many of the great Channels/Anglers I find on KZbin. You've now been added to my list👍 For certain, I'll be binge-watching as many of your videos as time allows. - Joe

[@Natureandfishing]

Hi Joseph, great to hear. And thanks for adding us. Good luck with the Carp Angling !

[@stephenholmes1036]

Im just a cray fisher, but i love watching,listening and learning. You put everything back , i take the signals out. Thank you

[@steveg3981]

Great video. Brought back lots of memories of Severn and Teme fishing for barbel 30 years ago, before I emigrated to Canada ( for the fishing). Used to frequent Birmingham Anglers Association waters. Hope they still have them. Many thanks.

[@Natureandfishing]

I bet you get some great catches out in Canada?

[@herrjanssen8531]

Watching and listening to Des Taylor is always a great pleasure. It's funny to be German while all my favourite anglers are Britons. There must be a reason for that, and I think it's just the relaxed way of talking about fishing and not taking it deadly seriously.

[@Natureandfishing]

Thank you! Do you get to do much fishing in Germany?

[@herrjanssen8531]

@@Natureandfishing Thank you for asking. Well, yes, I live near Düsseldorf and we have the River Rhine and countless gravel pits with partially massive fish (carp, pike, tench, bream, catfish, sturgeon and so on). Barbels can be found in the River Rhine but it is a It is a large stream, and heavily optimised for shipping, so you have to come to terms with it. There aren't that many rivers like the Severn nearby. It would mean travelling hundreds kilometres to find similar conditions. I don't have the time to do so. That's also part of the appeal of watching British fishing videos. Despite the fact that the UK is also a densely populated country, you can obviously find spots that look very picturesque, at least in the videos. I was just fishing today in one of the syndicate lakes where I am a member and due to the quite cold water I could only catch one bream using "the method". I was secretly hoping for a carp but being realistic, I knew the chance would be rather small. Anyway, I didn't blank so it was a good day.

[@billgates2903]

Best barbel vid on KZbin well done des

[@jamesdoyle3885]

Beautiful spot, screams out Barbel. Stunning fish with wondrous colours

[@martinjones3241]

Such a relaxing and informative video Des, your commentary and the knowledge you share is much appreciated. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

[@Natureandfishing]

Thanks a lot Martin.

[@JcWrightyLive]

Absolutely stunning footage of the river and surrounding wildle. The music is so soothing.Thank you Des, God bless. Best wishes John

[@Krammaster]

For me is one of the best anglers I ever had the pleasure of meeting many times. Great man with so much knowledge. Tight lines des. Keep bashing away.

[@darrenkeen3646]

Just subscribed I can no longer fish due to illness but I love your videos thank you sir

[@Natureandfishing]

Thanks for the comment Darren. Hope you're doing ok with the illness. More videos on the way soon.

[@davidsalter9592]

Nice one Des, started catching big bream here at Stourport. Great to see you're still with us. I'm getting a bit rusty now.

[@alexmeister6215]

Nice story! It’s great that you show respect for nature and its creatures.

[@Natureandfishing]

Thank you!

[@philippbagus4631]

Definitely the best riverfishing manual that I ever have seen - thank you soooo much!!!! 🙏🤝🤙🎩

[@Natureandfishing]

Thanks for such a nice comment. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mbench4174]

Capturing the magic, pleasure to watch

[@Natureandfishing]

Thank you!

[@Joe-sein-Hobbykanal]

sehr schöner angelfilm mit einem tollen angler. vielen dank fürs zeigen

[@Natureandfishing]

Thank you very much for the comment! Glad you enjoyed it .

[@pip110.5]

This has got to be one of the best fishing vlogs I’ve seen. Well done,and thanks for sharing. 👌

[@toniwilson6210]

I didn’t think I’d ever stop fishing in the US, then a couple of years ago I suddenly lost my passion for it. Slowly getting back to it and this helps. Des makes it a sweet science again.

[@daveoneill8235]

Had some good doubles by Ironbridge power station 20 plus years ago. Used to get large pike attacking the swimfeeders. Used to tie a treble to the feeder and use them as a lure. Down the river at 3 in the morning. Happy days😊😊😊😊

[@TheAmericanDane]

Fantastic. I love the enthusiasm, just a pure love for the sport and not pushing products, it just hits so differently. Thoroughly enjoyable watch 👍🏼

[@Natureandfishing]

Thanks a lot for the comment! Glad you enjoyed it .

[@KeefsCattys]

Fishing is a patient man (or woman's) sport. Folk need to slow down and enjoy observing the fish and wildlife. It's those that embrace the environment and think like our hunter ancestors that reap the rewards. Thoroughly enjoyed this video Des . Tight lines

[@Natureandfishing]

Thank you! And completely agree with your view on fishing .

[@garyrichardson8306]

G’day Des, thanks for presentation of the lure of nature and how fishing allows those who make the effort to be part of it. As a beginner I was trying to catch fish. Now many years later I am the one who has, fortunately, been caught by fishing and appreciate nature’s environs wherever I visit to fish, whether I land fish or dream about it. Regards, Gary from Oz

[@Natureandfishing]

Thanks Gary! what fish are you mainly catching out in Oz?

[@karladrian8640]

An absolute pleasure to watch this presentation and learn something at the same time ,thank you Des.

[@randybackgammon890]

First time with Des....but he seems just like the kind of old schooltimer I'm gonna like

[@Natureandfishing]

Thank you! Plenty more films to come .

[@markward8216]

Beautiful entertainment makes my day watched it a dozen times. Des is a lovely but great angler😊😊😊

[@TFG3381]

wonderful. Everyone can feel your love for nature and fishing. Breathtaking scenes. so much respect for the environment. Thanks. greetings from Germany

[@soulcarrot]

Wonderful video, Des is a local legend to all who know him.

[@twizzler3b]

Des, you were made for this. Fantastic video, your enthusiasm is contagious. Thank you or this.

[@craigerrington2369]

Great viewing, reminds me of watching Johnny Wilson back then, love a day or two on the bank with him ....🎣

[@Natureandfishing]

Thanks Craig 🙌

[@nickcheets]

Thanks Des absolutely loved this video and weirdly so scared of river fishing and not understanding what is needed but this video explains how easy and basic rules to implement and it shows that light tackle not tonnes of bait and a simple mornings fishing, can be so rewarding without all the expense and stress. Thanks

[@dawnlouise-if1qu]

Nice clear commentary des ,carry on barbeling .love coalport 👍

[@FireCrack83]

I enjoyed this a lot. your voice is so calm and easy to listen to. Beautiful river aswell. I fish for Barbel in the river Rhein in Germany....but i have to say i like your small river a lot more!!

[@Natureandfishing]

Thank you, hopefully we can get out to the Rhein to fish for Barbel, would be a lot of fun.

[@jiefrog]

What a lovely and informative video , Des you are a legend

[@Natureandfishing]

Thank you!

[@ArchDrake]

I used to love watching Rex Hunt Fishing Adventures during my childhood days and I just discovered your channel. You brought back the same memories and I daresay an even better educational experience!

[@bozidarnovakovic4049]

WOW. BRAVO FOR YOU FROM SERBIA!

[@Glaciershark]

Ah the desk art is lovely there

[@thedarkmittetoast7967]

WOW Des Taylor, I remember him back in the days, mid 90's when I started Carp fishing ... and the 1st video on carp fishing with him ... 👍👍👍 cheers from France

[@Retirement_Life]

As Des said, absolutely fabulous!

[@alanbrewin4639]

you've earned my respect des. great video

[@adrianporter8403]

Great video! Love your enthusiasm Des!

[@Natureandfishing]

Thanks Adrian!

[@Feederfish74]

Lovely video.

[@Natureandfishing]

Thank you!

[@jmsBungz]

My 1st ever barble session next week looking warm so 🤞🏽...I won't listen to anyone but Des💯

[@TDTMatt]

How did it go?

[@supernoodles91]

I fished from about 11-18, on the Witham, canals and reservoirs so never had the opportunity to catch Barbel. When caring for my late dad after cancer diagnosis I took it up again, this time on the Trent.....soon introduced to the beauty and majesty of the Barbel! I only weigh fish if I think they're heavier than I'd caught before. My best was 14lb 3oz on sweetcorn. Probably my favourite Barbel catch though was a pristine 12/14" long fish, probably never caught. Fingers crossed he/she is still going strong!

[@SteveClements-ju9rr]

This helped me to catch my first river Barbel 8lb 8 oz and it fought like hell, can't wait for summer 😊

[@Natureandfishing]

That's great to hear. Send us a picture of the barbel !

[@leftymadrid]

Very nice. Here in the outskirts of Madrid, Spain there are wonderful places to go fish, common carp, Royal carp, and barbel. Only I normally use a fly rod. Making flies for these fish is half the fun !!😊 Great video, a wonderful peaceful place to fish!

[@Natureandfishing]

Thank you! Hopefully we can get out to Spain for some fishing .

[@SOYOAS]

Piękna rzeka i ryby. W Polsce łowimy Brzany na kawałki żółtego sera, uwielbiają ten zapach.

Well done gents, Brings back a lot of memories for me, 👍👌

[@mickgrundy4615]

Enjoyed that so much, lovely video. Thanks so much des hats off to you, learnt so much, you made it look easy,

[@derekmallows6092]

Some Lovely Chub & Barbel Caught there Superb Des 👌

[@tonymarshall4164]

What a wonderful video, thoroughly enjoyed it. Never got the chance to fish the River Severn, but did catch Barbel on the Hampshire Avon to 9 lbs. Now live in New Zealand, so it’s mostly Tench, Rudd, Perch and Koi Carp.

[@niekgerritsen4350]

An masterpiece video 👍👍👍

[@paulellam6926]

What an amazing upload, thanks Des!

[@mussim2919]

I just love this video so much! Make more videos like this one please!

[@jptully6810]

Think I could watch that all day, just learnt loads and biggest thing I’ll take is his advice on bait. Simples 😊

[@azzastube9220]

wow, really nice editing job mate. Immersive.

[@Mansviews]

I still have the vhs of gesture fishing at Cuttle Mill.. He shaped my fishing from that video as a young lad.

[@robeardley3199]

Just subscribed to you Des lad... like the way you fish... and the way you put your videos out... need to try coalport... I go to the Woodbridge quite a lot...

[@Natureandfishing]

Thanks Rob!

[@wallerangler8862]

[@JS-xn3ql]

Brilliant and very well made video, very watchable

[@templarpg]

Fabulous video 👍

[@Natureandfishing]

Thank you!

[@SteveCrow-p2p]

Enjoyed this immensely, thank you for sharing such a wonderful day of excellence in fishing. I lived in England in the 70s and early 80s and still have all my rods, rod case, umbrella and even my little green box seat with my tackle. Sadly it just isn’t done that way across the pond here in the states. My dad’s rod which is with my rods is in the old leather rod bag was never used and still has the plastic on the cork handle from 40years ago…He passed away before he was able to fish with it. 😢

[@dommoore]

I'm sure he's up there hooking giants and can't wait to tell you all about it ♥

[@barryanthonywing4848]

Can just see my Dad and my Uncle Fred and Mr Taylor chewing the fat about the fishing they had done over the years, Des would be there friend for life and probably vice verse. RIP my Dad George and Uncle Fred.🫂🫂💙🍻

[@tomekhaczyk]

What a beautiful river you have! Using a pellets and boilies for barbels is completly suprasing for me. I need to try it in Poland.

[@tonylees9597]

Hi Des love your video is it baa water or what day permit thanks.

[@brucerae6508]

The lord did create the perfect barbel swim he created everything

[@Northstar-Media]

I caught my first ever Barbel from Severn at Iron Bridge, thirty odd years ago 🎣

[@satanobstler1239]

amazing footage 🐟

[@kalleschwansen8056]

Really nice video. Greetings from Germany

[@Natureandfishing]

Thank you! 👍

[@morskasvinja2049]

Nice fish and scenary

[@MrSuperobserwator]

Brawo Des 👍👍👍👍

[@andrewwilson9617]

The River Swale in North Yorkshire used to be a great Chub and Barbel river. I think pound for pound Barbel are the best fighting fish.

[@leebarker7563]

What a legend des is...he taught me how to pike fish over 20 years ago, without even knowing he'd done it. Dvd😂

[@stefanisler1602]

Very nice and helpfull Video

[@Natureandfishing]

Thank you!

[@juliennagel7797]

Ein sehr schönes Video, mach weiter so.

[@rogerbaker9163]

Lovely video, lovely man, fiftreey-three minutes passed like three.

[@lesliecrowther7004]

I have watched a few videos now, and just sitting reminiscing about times gone by. I have mentioned previously that my uncle Tom was a rep / traveller for Effgeco fishing tackle, owned by a John Goddard. It was him and my Father that started myself and two younger brothers fishing at a very early age. Back to the reminiscing, not sure about my dad but i know uncle Tom fished with Fred J Taylor way way back in the day. I was just wondering are you at all related to Fred J Taylor 🤔 by any chance ?? Hope you do not mind me asking ?. Cheers Les. As always wonderful viewing and informative 👌 Many thanks.

[@ilonalucasbunney5676]

Cool looking fish ,do youse eat them or are thay just for fun .iv never seen these fish as I'm from Australia.

[@canadiangemstones7636]

They make great fertilizer, just dig a hole and dump ‘em in, crops love it.

[@Natureandfishing]

We don't eat them over here, it's catch and release.

It’s not just me then getting splashed in the face from returning the fish !!!

[@ritchydog]

PICKED THAT SPOT AS IT STUFFED WITH BARBEL .. WINS EVER MATCH LOL

[@nickcheets]

Anyone know if you add the ringers sticky mix used by Des into the full mix then soak in water overnight or add it after the pellets have soaked?
