No mention of the canoes? 😆 top tip for fishing the lower river during the summer.......don't start until about 5pm!

[@jimking7400]

The best short, straight to the point, barbel fishing video I've seen. Packed full of tips. Excellent work

[@fishface1872]

Simple but top tips especially the last one about resting the barbel in the water before weighing and taking a photo 👍

[@Marek.Synowiec.PhotoAdventures]

Those was a realy wise words: let's give the fish time to recover if we wont to talk about fishing for sport and we have welfare of the fish in mind. You have outstanding series of FISHING GURUS, it's really enjoyable for me and I can learn a lot from it. You're doing a good job, keep it moving this way! Greetings from Poland!

[@markshettle3257]

Enjoyed this, some great tips...thanks Dean

[@stuartsemple795]

Really informative short film. Thank you.

[@qjarman7753]

Fantastic advice and in particular good on you for advocating fish welfare... that's a great tip to rest them in the landing net. For my money the second most improtant thing is the use of barbless hooks - I only use barbless and dont think that ever looses me a fish, and it makes unhooking a joy. Tight lines everyone

[@geoffreycarson2311]

I CRUSH my Barb lightly !!!to Leave Enough To NOT WORK IT'S way Out and DO BAD DAMAGE !!!EXTERNALY 😨TRUST ME !!! it IS SAFER & THE hook comes Out ok 😊When You touch it Lightly in the Net 😊& REST the Barbel In the Net !!!👍 g

[@Enpassantful]

Agree 100%, never lift a barbel straight out of water, always rest it for 5 to 10 minutes first, especially in hot weather when oxygen levels are low.

[@Enochthegreat71]

Love it there, amazing place.

[@thejoker7323]

Cracking information as always.

[@johnloxley8705]

River season open today. My old man is on the river swale fishing. I’ve just sent this to him. Hope he doesn’t feel offended by the word idiot. What a cracking video and Dean is a proper gentleman. Plenty of tips and advice and hopefully my old man send me a picture of a fish to be proud of 🎣🎣😀😀

[@justinmorgan494]

Great little video. I'm lucky I live less than half an hour from the Wye and fished for Barbel regularly for the past twenty years. Some great tips there spot on👍🏼

Thank god for a video like this I’m no idiot lol but I’ve struggled on my first ever 2 sessions on the river trotting no problem but I’ve had problems with my feeders now I know what the problem was I was tightening up instead of putting a bow in the line which was moving my feeder thanks mr macey for clearing that up on to my 3rd session this weekend god bless everyone tight lines

[@jedishawry]

Great information, cheers guys 👍

[@robert14569]

this changed my life, thanks buddy. I caught barbel with authentic romanian cheese and I had some incredible days, both chubs and barbels. My gear back then was so bad, but still caught em.

[@rushmano6994]

Excellent thanks Dean great video 👍

[@mrw9513]

Good on ya Deano for stating the recovery period, before unhooking etc. Fish welfare has to be the big priority for us all, watching them swim back as healthy as before we hooked them is the icing on the cake. Tight lines.

[@samdub]

Great tips! Thanks 🙏🏼

[@Scottsalchemy]

Some great tip in there, cheers Dean, I'll be hunting Yorkshire Barbel very soon

[@Chriscarper]

That's a great vid Dean, avid carper here and that vid really gets rid of a few clouds for me about barbel fishing 🎣 thanks

[@michaelbeale42]

Spot on about the recovery matey. Get yourself a retaining sling. Pukka. I've found if a fish turns belly up in the net, whilst you're doing as you said, getting camera etc, it's done more harm than good. Retaining slings keep the fish fully submerged so there's no chance of it gulping down massive quantities of air.

[@alanmeasures8337]

Really enjoyed that Cheers Dean.

[@llr_hazey4203]

I hope you have caught one now barbel are illusive creatures sometimes the best cant get them good luck just enjoy it still. usually you will get chubb instead and be so bummed by it but still a fish so see it as that lol

My first time on the Wye I'll never forget drove 60 miles to the river only to find it had rained the day before and the river was an absolute torrent. Didn't have anything heavier than 3oz and could not hold bottom.

Amazing footage. We are desperate to visit the Wye. This has inspired us to get something booked! Also, the fish welfare highlighted in this video is very refreshing 😀 Dropped you a sub!

Been trying for 2 years to catch one this is the year!

[@marcfoy6277]

Nice video 👍

[@richardneale6828]

Hi great video, but can you tell me why the hook link is the same breaking strength as the mainline, I’ve always used a slightly lower breaking strain hook link

[@savmunago8007]

Cheers Deano - some great tips

[@shaundawson5639]

Thanks dean I’m going to try and catch a barbel on the Trent

[@driss409]

Dang you use the exact same knots my dad has always used :D

Can I ask what sort of bait is best in feeder would you recommend please?

[@SRobinson1485]

Are there many day ticket sections on the wye

[@marktallentire4335]

Got my first one on river ribble it was 12lb

[@SEFullmetalJake]

And which of the three river Wye are you talking about in this video? Although I’m guessing the bigger of the three

first of all can i say what beautiful scenery there is on this video. Second why was this video named the way it was ?. good info for barbel fishing DEAN.

[@charlieuk1983]

Swear I can see a zip lead at 7.04 in line with the feeder from screen side 😂

[@laurentlebreton5569]

Hi Dean, do I need a permit for fishing the Wye during holydays? I live in Corsica. Thanks a lot for your interesting Guru videos.

[@robertharris2818]

You need a license to fish in the U.K. and a day ticket

Just go to river trent got loads bigger barble in and you don't have to travel far

[@Accyboom]

Ever use 2 rods on the wye?

[@jackwilson4284]

WUF and Angling Dreams, whose waters he's fishing both have a single rod rule.

[@jaywhiite6024]

Would an 11ft feeder rod with 8lb line be ok for river fishing and for barbel fishing. The tip is 1.5oz. I can easily upgrade if needs be, I've never river fished but will definitely be trying out once I've done enough research. 👍🏻

[@riverspecialist732]

best thing you can do go buy a korum 1.75 barbel rod 1.5oz tip just won't cut it pal

[@stucrossland3719]

A heavy feeder rod will do the job,use 8lb line for your main line.We started on the Severn using 6lb line but it was snag free.

[@jaywhiite6024]

Cheers for replying. I will probably invest in a barbel rod 👍🏻

[@wulfiesmodels6763]

Hmm, I don't like barbed, or micro-barbed, you only need barbless. If you are targeting Barbel, they set their own hooks and those lips don't drop them easily. There are some anglers out there using barbed on a heavy hook line resulting in mainline breaks and terminal tackle being left in fish, due to a lack of running rig and pre-tied (shop brought) hooklengths/hairigs being stronger than their mainline.

[@stucrossland3719]

Totally agree,i always use barbless hooks they do far less damage.

[@james6495]

Anyone know what reel that is?

[@SAMNOTTS]

I was wondering too.@4.24 Daiwa but not sure on model.

[@johnconlon6732]

Record barbel will come out the tidal trent in next few year......

Probably already has loose lips sink ships

How to make rich people even richer

[@CristiNeagu]

1:27 How can they be "overfished"? Almost nowhere in the UK are you allowed to take fish home, and no one in the UK eats freshwater fish, so they're not commercially fished either. How can any stretch of water in the UK be overfished?

[@richardtuxford1812]

When fish get caught repeatedly in a short space of time by multiple anglers, they become hook shy and much harder to catch.

[@Unborn-Stillborn]

Jesus ..... is that fishing in the uk ... thank god I don't live there ...

[@stucrossland3719]

There are lots of ways of fishing in the UK,its just that Barbel fishing is both fashionable and adictive.

[@georgetaylor5433]

Ce programme est débile, surtout le présentateur qui n'a jamais pêché de sa vie, il cherche quoi au juste ?

[@Scouse.raver1]

The fish don't read the same magazines as us LMFAO! but hang on you say the fish will be in the foam line how am I supposed to know where that is you never said no info! My god you said it's an idiot guide you're talking out knots and all kinds it's a foreign language to me I'm sorry I find it really annoying you said it was easy but you're talking about things I don't even have a clue about and you're not explaining it
