Another lovely video Ian, not just about the fishing but the surroundings an some history too, this is what fishing is all about being in places like this catching some lovely fish, tight lines guys 👍

As one of the other subscribers has already mentioned,it's not always about the fishing. I can imagine myself taking a break and just sitting on one of those benches with a cuppa and a sandwich just feeling blessed to be in wonderful surroundings. You have a fantastic channel...long may it continue 👍👍👍

Great vid with fantastic memories of when I was a child. I went to whalley c of e.and lived in front of the first ache of the arches. I walked accross the iron bridge every day for years.I fished both banks in every spot you can get a rod in! My biggest was 4pound+ perch in the same spot just after flood. Also 5+ 3/4 barbel opposite theAbbeyunderthe tree you mentioned..What great memories. So pleased to see how much the whole area inc the factory stretch has been cleaned up and no more pollution. I'm so pleased to se

[@PikerBiker]

tony currie wow you know Roy my good friend! Thanks for the lovely comment mate, I knew those tree roots would hold the barbel! It’s such a beautiful location mate! I will return!

[@marcusharrison6913]

Anthony Currie! Good to hear from you mate (I'm your brother Michael's old mate from Whalley). It's amazing how clean the river is now compared to when we were young, it's teeming with fish now too. I had the pleasure of fishing with Gary Williams himself today on this stretch, Gary popped down for a chat while I was fishing and I persuaded him (easily done!) to grab his gear and join me. We caught some fantastic grayling and a brownie between us. Thanks again Gaz, great to meet you today...top bloke. See you on the bank again soon mate.

[@graemeaitken1018]

Great stuff!! These river videos have rekindled my interest in fishing. I commented on another video that I will need to dig out my old Shakespeare Mach2 Boron (great stick rod) and get on some of our Scottish rivers.

[@PikerBiker]

Graeme Aitken thanks mate! Really great to get some good feedback!

[@jamesvan-lint7351]

Super film, thankyou. Such sad music though ! Fishing isnt sad its joyous !

[@PikerBiker]

Thanks James!

[@ianmoorhouse3678]

Great stretch of river, I fished it in the 80s you had to be there 2 hours before light to get a swim, I love the Calder

[@PikerBiker]

ian moorhouse I’m definitely going to be back! Thanks for watching mate

[@1Cast1Fish]

Sweet trout...awesome fishing out there

All Ian's work. We love fishing and great to just film a typical session. Well done too Ian for his hard work.

[@jakedeal6508]

That’s a nice looking river, good fishing

[@PikerBiker]

Jake Deal thanks Jack! Next time I am going to do a bit of fishing too! It’s a lovely river!

lovely video boys 👍🎣🎣

[@PikerBiker]

Jack Milligan thanks Jack!

[@channeI-doge]

glad to see that river recovered, nice Trout, we almost don´t have chubs in Portugal but we love Barbels, our Barbels are predators, you would love to fish for them with small artificial lures :)

[@PikerBiker]

Fishing Channel I sure would love to catch a Portuguese barbel! On my list! Thanks for watching mate.

[@channeI-doge]

@@PikerBiker if you come to north of Portugal I can take you (for free course :) )

Good to see the old 506 doing the business

[@PikerBiker]

Gary Nicholson Thanks for watching our video mate!

[@Vincentdonnelly5158]

Great video. Wow some beautiful trout have to confess if I was catching them at least one of them would have ended on the frying pan. Pleasue to watch True sports men.

[@PikerBiker]

Vincent Donnelly thanks very much for watching our video mate! I did envisage you cooking one of those delicious trout under one of those big chimneys in the abbey!

[@roystonlancaster2839]

Great video pal well edited as well we will have to sort a session out one time .

[@PikerBiker]

Royston Lancaster thanks Roy! Yes it’s definitely on the cards soon mate! We definitely need a day on the bank together soon!

[@4wheels23]

how deep are you fishing??

[@rollingnome]

Nice river. Fished it as a teenager. Ugly backdrop to a bonny river!

[@PikerBiker]

Thanks Wayne, it is a very contrasting backdrop and the abbey is a great place to fish beside

[@rollingnome]

@@PikerBiker Yeah, I know. The Abbey, the railway arch, and road bridge are historically belle - it's just that those prosaic small firms in the background take away some of the Calder's inherent charm!

[@PikerBiker]

@@rollingnome I agree mate. It would be so much more charming without the factory. A row of trees planted along the bank might improve the scenery on that side of the banking. Those ravens in the Abbey! 😮 What a place!

[@lazycarper]

hi who has the stretch that connects to the ribble just below whalley , thanks

[@phatmanc7078]

i fish the Tame in manchester this year we have had 4lb brown trout very nice.

Which part of the Calder is the video shot? How far from my home town Burnley..

It’s in Whalley Lancashire, next to Clitheroe 10 miles and the club is www.hyndburnblackburnangling.co.uk/our-waters-and-fisheries/. Thanks for watching

@@PikerBiker Hey Piker Biker from the accent i`d guess your from the same patch of the world as me, i`m in the Castleford region and was wondering that `if` with only a rod licence i can fish for trout from the 31st March just about anywhere on the River Aire? :)

[@PikerBiker]

@@seandaniels9168 www.gov.uk/guidance/regional-rod-fishing-byelaws-north-east-region Hi Sean, thanks for the comment mate. I think we have the wrong Calder here. My local is the Lancashire Calder a tributary of the Ribble. At first glance of the bye laws for your area, it looks like you can fish for non migratory wild brown trout from 24th March with a coarse and non migratory trout rod license, I put the link in the message so you can check the information is correct. Thanks for watching the video. Have a great new year.
