Float Fishing For Chub on the River Swale LDASA Asenby

[@user-se5iy1gm6g]

Great video John, my favourite kind of fishing.

[@alycidon12]

John...Belting vid mate, am a Leeds DASA book holder, and would highly recommend you buy this in the near future. Am busy organising myself a trip on the Wharfe at Ulleskelf next week, some BIG Chub here, got my 2 PBs from here 5lb 4oz and 5lb 2oz, also some quality roach and bream fishing. GO ON PAL get in there Best regards Ian

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Love it Ian, Keith told me Ulleskelf had been fishing well again, I often fished it on an evening 20 years ago, pegs in the late 60s fished well back then. Tried again a few seasons back but they weren't there. I do like the lower Wharfe though. 👍

Some cracking spots and the lads are a cracking bunch ,,,, my old mans down there today in search of a barb or too ... keep them videos coming. Keeps me entertained on my work break !!! Lovely chubly 😀😀🎣🎣

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Thanks for the sub John. Glad you enjoy the vids and it breaks up your working day. Working on the next vid, should be on the channel on Monday. Hope the old man gets a few whiskers out today. Tight Lines 🎣

[@tonyrobinson3808]

well done looked like you were on come dancing with that first chub

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Yes, it was incredibly difficult to land, almost impossible to steer it, hooked in the belly and in that fast water, quite how I managed to get it in is beyond me, lady luck.

[@keithsnaith6676]

Hi John love your float fishing on rivers, it's got to be the best way to fish! Great camera work.

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Awesome thanks for watching Keith, keep on bagging 💪🎣

[@riverfossfishing]

Nice video 👍 chub on the stick float is the best. That river looks cracking too!

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

The Swale is probably the best chub river in Yorkshire, although there's plenty in the Wharfe, Ure and Nidd too. If you ever fancy a day out, give me a shout, I'll be fishing these rivers more in the future returning to old stomping grounds from my twenties and some I've never fished.

[@riverfossfishing]

@@HOOKEDFishingChannel looks like I'll be getting a Leeds book next year too! Defiantly up for a days fishing.

Great video. Proper fishing. 👌🏻🎣

Thanks Martin 🎣 Tight Lines.

Top Angling John👍

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Thanks Mike, couple of errors, couldn't do much about the first foul hooked one though, was lucky to land it.

[@mikeoglesby9009]

HOOKED Fishing Channel We have some cracking rivers in gods own country

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

@@mikeoglesby9009 indeed we do Mike. 😀🎣

[@keithknowles1700]

Nice one John, that performance might help to sell some club yearbooks. Yearbooks available online, very reasonably priced, no joining fee, no extra charge for a second rod and some of the best waters in Yorkshire. Enjoy.

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Thanks for sorting the day out Keith. It's a great value club book, with probably the best river stretches in Yorkshire, just wish I had more time to get out on them, thoroughly enjoyed it, we'll sort another session out in October if you fancy it? Whatever species we're targeting. Coming up for my busiest month match fishing in September, then I'll have a bit more time to go where I please.

[@keithknowles1700]

@@HOOKEDFishingChannel October is fine with me John, looking forward to it.

[@robhill3299]

Nice video ... I’d be tempted to use a pin in that peg ... better control when playing the fish

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Something I don't use any more Rob, but I may treat myself to a shiny new one, any recommendations?

[@markrichmond1468]

Nice one 🎣

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Cheers Mark

[@pnico3775]

Hello John what a beautiful place to fish and what a good stamp of fish you had, you looked really at home on the river is that your favourite type of fishing or do you prefer the commercials many thanx

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

The Swale is gorgeous isn't it. I love my river fishing best, any kind really but it's really satisfying catching them in inches of water, keeps you busy when it's that fast.

[@anthonycarroll1965]

Gd vid john . If you ever fancy doing a vid on the wharfe I'm a member at Boston spa can get ya day pass no probs 🎣

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Thanks Anthony, sounds great, I used to fish the Spa baths length years ago when Lower Wharfe Angling Centre was still in the town. I'm stacked out this month but drop me an email (my email can be found on the about page of the channel), with your contact details on and we'll sort something out pal. 👍🎣

[@neilmason158]

Just moved back into the area. Lovely looking stretch. My usual Fish up stream at Morton have down stream is this?

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Hi Neil, it's about 14 miles.

[@rich4738]

Great video mate, I'm back to rivers and fishing the Swale this season. Is the closed face Abu worth the messing about with the backwind?

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Quite honestly no, I've got rid of my 507s now, they were causing me too many issues with line lay and bedding in.. I do prefer close face reels for stick float work but I'm using open face with the stick at the moment, if I don't get on with them then I'll probably go back and find some earlier Abu's for sale like I used to own.

[@Charlyfarly2]

I enjoyed the video. One of Leeds DASA excellent waters. It will be good to see you on the bank with a Leeds DASA book. I saw an albino chub caught on that swim on two occasions. The fish which broke you will have been barbel. They like the well-oxygenated water when the river is low. What body-cam do you have?

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Hi Charly, glad you enjoyed it pal, I've watched a lot of your barbel fishing vids on the Swale and elsewhere, always informative and entertaining. I've never seen an Albino chub!? Action cameras are fairly cheap items, they're Akaso V50 Pro's.

[@Charlyfarly2]

@@HOOKEDFishingChannel Thanks

[@dang9269]

How do you keep float in place on a fast moving river

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

I'm not sure why you'd want to? Float fishing fast water is about making the bait go naturally with the flow by mending the line, you can slow the float down by letting the line trip off the spool using your finger as a brake, this will make the bait rise up in the water sometimes inducing a bite. The point is, when the bait is flowing fast down the river, the fish don't get much time to inspect it so they generally fall for it more readily than a static bait.

[@davep6286]

Nice bit of fast water fishing👍 did you fit the pipe cleaners to the spools on the new 507? Just bought one in the sales, but not used yet. Stay safe and thanks for the uploads 👏👏

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Hi Dave I think mine came fitted with the brushes, all the spares are still in the cases I didn't fit anything additional onto them.

[@davesmith325]

Nice fishing. I Just wish people would be more responsible and not name specific venues in their KZbin videos.

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

It's always a dilemma, do you or don't you. This kind of fishing isn't for everyone, the walking,, climbing tree roots and standing up all day is what keeps most people away. Can't please everybody all of the time.

[@davesmith325]

It’s the poaching I worry about. Been a few incidents on the Swale in the last few years, and probably more that have gone under the radar.
