Back in the 1950s/early 1960s I used to fish there regularly, there used to be some big shoals of cracking roach back then, some well over 2lb. The favourite method was very light ledgering using a small shot that would run through the swim and always holding the rod. The most productive bait was silk weed collected from the bridge stones. We used mostly natural baits back then, don't know why they're not used nowadays.

Great video. I love the multi species stuff. The size of the tail fin on that Roach on minute 10 was awesome ❤.

Yea I clocked that, thought it was some hybrid to be honest!
@scottpoulter916411 ай бұрын
@TheAmericanDane possibly, the tail does look a bit Breamy perhaps? Although no other obvious signs to my amateur eyes other than that big tail.

I absolutely loved your video about Gudgeon on the river Wandle, there are some absolutely cracking barbel, just up from there in front of the Sainsburys, but I remember you fishing a forgotten forgotten ponds in north London, where you caught a 40lb carp, I'm sure I know where that pond is, I read the article in Carpology fishing Magazine

Simple fishing is so good, 1 backpack and some comfy trainers for the day. Bivvy and sleeping bag has it's place but short sessions packed light hold a special spot for me.

Great video. I fished the Lea throughout my childhood and in to my late teens. Never caught a Barbel even at Kings Wier. Plenty of Chub. Is that the old river lea at Hertford?

Get so caught up with carp fishing sometimes and don't go unless I have the time to do a night or 2. Videos like this make me get out more and enjoy short sessions... great stuff Alfie 👌

I grew up in wheathampstead, next time go more towards brocket hall. you can get some series barbel fish. If you become a member of verulam, you can fish the golden stretch of river going towards harpenden or towards hatfield.

Yea really like this video friend…. easy watching with a bit of excitement thrown in… that’s a really nice mornings fishing being able to catch all of those different species…. i’ve watched a few of your videos now and decided to subscribe… you’re a nice humble fellow like myself… some of the videos on here that people make can be a little patronising… you’re the opposite…. I was getting right into it… especially the nice barbel at the end… the pile sticking out of the water concerned me a bit until yyfor it into the open water!!! keep up the good work…..
