Hadrian Whittle Float Fishing For Barbel

We join Hadrian Whittle on the River Wye in Herefordshire for a masterclass in stick float fishing for barbel.

Some of the best action shots I've ever seen. The aerial shots are superb, in one sequence I could see the fish twisting and lunging just before the swan went over it. Great shot of the rod in full action curve. More of the same please Tom

[@joebrennan1272]

Absolutely brilliant video Tom, with an awesome angler. Reminded me of the excellent fishing I enjoyed when I was younger. More of the same please!!!!

[@catchmoremedia]

Joe Brennan thanks Joe 😊

[@MrTim207]

Can’t believe I’ve never seen this one. Searched after listening to Tom’s interview with Matt on Guru, I’ll look forward to watching later 👌🏻

[@johnrouse880]

[@neilmurphy9926]

2 barbel from river teme Knightwick, on a stick float. Best fishing memory I carry with me. Really looking forward to the summer now, beautiful video great camera shots.

[@2wheelsrbest327]

Thanks Hadrian very interesting and informative. Just starting at 66 and boy its a steep learning curve.

[@mitsubisher5829]

Great video makes a change from a fishing video where the guys are just selling tackle keep it up

[@ShubExplores]

One of the best river fishing videos i have ever seen. superb

[@jimmystaelens]

I love to see this man fish. I have seen him a few times on video (feeder, pole) , just brilliant!

[@jasonheath6490]

Superb angler Amazing filming Cracking video

[@adamthrall1]

Fantastic ariel filming, loved it top angler as well

[@coops9871]

If you use a clutch you can't stop the fish? You can...press your fingers on the spool!

[@tomstorey7267]

Professionally presented, superb,the use of drone was the icing on the cake

[@DJTINY001]

awesome video, great footage.

[@adriannicholas5480]

Wow, brill barbel from Hadrian captured on film. Doesn't get much better than this. ps do you use a drone for the wonderful aerial stuff?

[@catchmoremedia]

Adrian Nicholas yes Adrian 😊

[@andreww704]

Boooommmm 🔥 ... yet again Mr scholey, definitely the way forward for angling videos etc is catch more media !!!!!!! . You sir are taking this to level " in a galaxy far far away " pardon the star wars pun lol .. would love a feature hr long 1 mate 👊🎣🐟Andy watts

[@adrianfarrow9356]

Some good tips looking forward to the summer ...thank you

[@sammeredith459]

Great video , also where can i buy that landing net it's the perfect size for me

[@JonArthur]

Brilliant!

[@johnmccormack1154]

Excellent video loved it ,,

[@26Tackle.reviews]

Best fishing you can do full stop! But think you was a little light with 3 and 4 pound maxima on a fast pace swim"

[@johncady8]

Wow 10/10.

[@paulturner7198]

Beautifully filmed Tom, well done.

[@georgetaylor5433]

From 13:48 to 13:53 the noise of the hook being ripped out of the barbel's jaw ...Quelle horreur !

[@bromyarda]

I do like the look of that rod, where do ya get one?

[@nickburrage]

Cracking video I’ll watch it again tonight 👌 What was the power 13’ rod used mate; lovely action 👌

[@catchmoremedia]

It was the Cadence Power Float

[@stephenwilkinson8149]

Amazing camera work great to watch .

[@richardbarrett7544]

What I like is this chap knows how to use tackle to its best. And how he uses a rod to the full. Too many barbel anglers use two rods in the air tactics with heavy carp gear when most fish they catch are of modest size. Well done you,

[@lucyaustin9785]

[@TheConstantAngler]

Wonderfully shot video, stuffed full of excellent information. Could see big barbel flashing everywhere. Although not a Coarse Angler myself it inspired me to up my game with my own videos and have a go for Barbel and Chub. Thoroughly enjoyed that. Were they Cadence rods you were using? If so which ones? Subscribed and inspired!

[@jk-zf8eo]

Cadence rods👌

[@michaelmilburn3013]

Great video. To be honest, I’ve fished the Wye for 40 years and never thought to do it this way. Always from the bank. 12lb barbel 7.2lb chub 22lb common carp 3lb grayling 2.1lb roach 3lb perch Think I’ve done okay and really enjoyed every minute.

[@stevensmith8454]

This one takes me back to the Upper Trent many years ago ! Loved the way you talked safety & set up in the water first. I'ts set me off watching this , Hadrian you really are a star ,now where is that 12' Shakespeare Match International rod I used to use . LOL

[@MrMetalchamp]

Amazing performance. Strangely enough( unless I missed it ) he does not advertise the rod and reel? That's a shame ( and a rarity) , as here is a rod which you can see handles fish. The film is so well put together, with brilliant photography.

[@fishonistafil3774]

Great stuff!

[@paultarca7912]

Perfect in every way! A true profesionist! The action of the Barbels that are seen in water(playing) are astonishing! Never saw that live, just with other fish species. Great video!

[@KevinKempOvenmagic]

Brilliant video, will give this ago next week on the wye, I've not been that successful on the speciwagg mainly because I couldn't get my head round the Float dragging the bait behind presentation compared to the stick.. thanks for the master class Ps, did I hear correct your your using 4lb main maxima , and 00.17 hook length, I think I need to balance mine better as fishing to heavy

[@davep6286]

Truly great video by a top angler. Our KDAA stretch of the seven has fished like that, on odd days this summer, first part of autumn. Your wag reel sound so bad, like a old Mitchell 300. ATVB to you and the crew

[@MrAndrewholde]

I never used a clutch either Was John Wilson taught me that on tv maybe 8 years old!!

[@garryhudson8384]

Not as good as Blue Planet,but one of the best river fishing videos I have ever seen. Great work Tom please can we have more please.

[@stevenflint5271]

Is like a great war movie have to watch it time to time great filming and fishing

[@markryan8478]

Nice fishing barbel on the stick 👌great vid

[@stephenturner7949]

What a fantastic looking swim , can see the barbel rolling in the swim , how i would love to fish there ( heaven )

[@fredik2618]

Great Video. What is the fishing rod that you are using in the video sir?

[@chrisguygeezer]

Great video Hadrian. It would be best to rest the fish in the net for a short while, before handling it. Lovely rod btw.

[@daz3434]

Wow never seen such a massive shoal of fish turning over on the river great footage-well made mate.

[@DuchDoby]

WoW, such a great video! 8 people miss click or what?

[@pellowd]

Remind me not to buy the same reel as hadrian!

[@ha5enk552]

Dont buy the same reel as hadrian

[@sjmclean0]

Hi mate, you wanted reminded not to buy this reel.

[@Listermintsluesh]

I'll be honest I did snigger a little at ur river platform but hey...thumbs up for a great video. amazing shots. 👏👍amazing fight. just couldn't do this on my local polluted river without getting mugged lol.

[@garydrew2318]

[@daveberry9922]

[@mattwilson836]

Great video What rods are these please ?

[@lavidadetina2963]

Nice video, nice place and nice fishes.

[@jebos4982]

aucun probléme quand ils y a beaucoup de poissons

[@rrplanb4030]

4lb line seems a little light tbh

[@fishingfan17]

Really awesome video 👍🏼

[@beaumoore2470]

So was that barbel landed on 4lb line ? Cos if so that was crazy 😨

[@markfrosttiling936]

All you need is balanced tackle.

[@WealthWaveUnveile]

nice barbel 👏👏👏👏

[@johnrouse880]

good angler though

[@slappycarp]

Great Video 👍

[@sliderfloatmaster9834]

Great video!!!

[@normanchaddock3371]

great fishing

[@5times146]

Brilliant

[@Steven.Cartwright]

Great Video 10/10

[@lololooo5041]

The tackle is too light. Don't play the fish too long at the hot conditions

[@jamsams]

I'm sure he knows what he's doing.

[@paulkerry69]

Great video only negative comment to come from me is rest the barbel in the landing net before unhooking

[@tadhghayden8440]

Paul Kerry suppose thats the match angler manifsting..
