River Lea Lure Fishing for Quality Perch

[@MrPaulhr]

Great to see you fishing the Lea..I learnt as a kid at Enfield Lock with the background noise of weapons testing at the Ordnance factory (now a housing estate). I’ve not fished the section you were on in this vid but have seen double figure carp cruising down the cut there!

[@TheBudgetAngler]

Nice one! Yeah the river is looking well at the moment! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 👍😀🎣

[@fishingsgreatescapeuk8052]

Last week i had a Stone Loach out of the river Lea around Stratford. So that shows how well the water Quality has become. Hope your well Andy.

[@TheBudgetAngler]

Oh wow! That's absolutely fantastic! It's great to hear that the lea in London is producing, and to see a loach is absolutely fantastic! 😃 , Thanks for taking the time and watch and comment! 🎣👍😃

Great evening session Andrew as you say some cracking Perch well done mate. 👏👏👏👏🎣🎣🎣

Nice one Andy. Going old school. Love it. It made me all nostalgic.

[@TheBudgetAngler]

Great session and always enjoy the tackle rundown too.

Thanks mate, Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 👍😀🎣

[@simonholloway9814]

What a lovely video and so encouraging to see urban waterways providing good sport. I have recently retired and am trying to find things to do to fill my day. I fished as a lad, and I live close to the Olympic park. I might follow in your footsteps! Keep up the videos, they are great viewing. All the best.

[@TheBudgetAngler]

Hi Simon, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. The Lea is a tough old river especially in London but there are some good perch and pike in there when you can find them! Best of luck with your angling, and do let us know how you get on! 👍😁🎣

[@martyh5127]

Great stamp of perch mate nice one, great vid as always 👍🎣

[@TheBudgetAngler]

Thanks Marty! As always thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 👍😀🎣

[@stevej1818]

I work round there and used to have evenings like this regularly. It gets a bit busy with walkers which is my only criticism. But along that stretch by the weir pool I saw a perch well over 3lb just sitting in the margins. Wish I had my rod at the time lol.

[@richiemac8410]

Hi Andy, great video as usual and good to see you back along the Lea.

[@TheBudgetAngler]

Thanks mate, it was a fun session! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 👍😀🎣

[@johncroucher6053]

Some lovely Perch mate- the river looks great

[@TheBudgetAngler]

Cheers mate, yes it's looking great at the moment! 👍🎣😀

[@viaphone8354]

Another grate video . Thank you

[@cliffdixon6422]

Those little Perch always scrap well on a light spinner rig. Used to have a few decent ones out of my local River Frays using the cheapest one available, the Mackerel spinner - Guess the red beads at the end and the rotating silver centre simulated a small roach

[@TheBudgetAngler]

Mackerel spinners are fab little lures! I got a perch on one when I was a kid, I think that might make a good video actually!Thanks for taking the time and watch and comment! 🎣👍😃😃🎣👍

[@andrewpalij4691]

Nice one Andy, good to see plenty of Perch coming out on that stretch, ive fished the river over the back a couple of times this year and keep getting smashed up by trout.

[@TheBudgetAngler]

Hey Andy, yeah I saw a big trout under the wooden bridge by the weir, and I've bumped into a couple of my subs round there, they had trout and grayling there, it's a really good sign for the river! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment as always mate! I 🎣😀👍

[@kevinparker2919]

Just taken early retirement and have dug out some of my old fishing gear and intend roving fishing on my bike along the Lea from my home in North Chingford. I watched several of your videos which are great and wondered what landing net and handle you are using. I want to get something similar that is easy to pack away and carry on the bike. I have a telescopic rod so all good on that front. Keep up the content.

[@TheBudgetAngler]

Excellent! You'll have a lot of fun on that stretch of the Lea. I use the spro free style 4m telescopic, it's not super cheap but it's very compact when folded! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 👍😀🎣

[@Bi_joden]

Just said hello to you at the river Ivel making another great video as always, my friend talked to you a few weeks earlier when you was there and I found your channel from there, keep up the amazing videos!

[@TheBudgetAngler]

Hello mate, I appreciate you remembering the channel, and saying hello, that's a cracking stretch of river, although it's been tough fishing the last week or so. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment too. I expect I'll see you on the bank again soon. 😀👍🎣

[@Bi_joden]

@@TheBudgetAngler We probably will I go there very often

[@peterream9437]

Stripys you can't beat them for easy little game fish... Went back on the Trent this weekend, not river fished for a very long time , life got in the way. Caught a cracking big perch.

[@sme70]

Great vid thanks for making them 👍

[@TheBudgetAngler]

Thank you so much, thanks for taking the time and watch and comment! 🎣👍😃

[@jodep2198]

Great times I started fishing the Lea at Ponders End/ Brimstone then as I moved I fished it at Waltham Cross/ Abbey Broxbourne but I'm afraid there's no river Lea in York.

[@TheBudgetAngler]

Thanks mate, yes it can be very productive still, althiough not what it used to be. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 👍😀🎣

[@pockie86]

Grate vlog mate nice to see u on the bank again bro 😎

[@TheBudgetAngler]

Thanks brother! Nice to hear from you, it was great to get out on the lea! 🎣😃👍

[@tomodonnell00]

Great videos these Andy. Really enjoy watching. Had a couple of sessions on dobbs weir recently but hit blanks. Can you recommend any other stretches of the upper Lea?

[@TheBudgetAngler]

Hello mate, thanks for watching and commenting, the Lea is really hard in cold weather. Anywhere north of Dobbs will produce on the right day, with the right method, I like lure fishing the Canal in Hertford in autumn. I must admit I swerve the Lea until summer 👍🎣😀

[@nemzi5722]

top stuff andy mate, glad to see the lea as buzzing as it use to be, i feel a barbel session down there coming soon might have to bike it down since im now geared for it, did some bream over blackwall basin at the weekend was slow start but did ok towards the end of day much respect bro ;)

[@TheBudgetAngler]

Thanks nemzi, appreciate it, there are some cracking fish to be had in the old Lea, if you can bag a barbel, you're doing well! Nice work for getting down the docks, I understand it's fishing quite hard at moment! Thanks for taking the time and watch and comment! 🎣👍😃

[@nemzi5722]

@@TheBudgetAngler yeah mate a couple down there have gone a few days with blanks but to be expected 🎣 👍😀

[@markgriffin6640]

Great video again buddy

[@TheBudgetAngler]

Thanks Mark! As ever for taking the time and watch and comment! 🎣👍😃

[@clivelangham435]

Enjoyed this a lot. Glad to see you catching so many fish. The environment looks good - weather, too. All in all a great day's fishing. I almost felt that I was there! Were there any other people fishing?

[@TheBudgetAngler]

Thanks mate, there were a couple of kids fishing at one place, but I didn't see anyone else. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 👍😀🎣

[@barrytaylor4751]

Love your videos, but can you tell me, do you ever fish with cheese as bait?, used to use it many years ago when I used to fish.

[@TheBudgetAngler]

Hi Barry, thanks very much, I must say I rarely use cheese, it's just not something I've tried that much. I have used cheese paste for winter chub, but I seemed to get trout on it! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 👍😀🎣

[@gamesfishing325]

Nice perch 🤗🤗
