World's First Indoor Fishing Lake! Cast North West

Jamie and Andy visit the awesome Apple Cast North West which is an awesome project designed to get more people into fishing in a safe environment. We love the project and you can find out more at - www.castnw.net

[@WinningWays]

Wow, loads of comments, so firstly thanks to everyone who took the time to watch, but just to clear a few bits up. This isn't designed as a replacement to fishing outdoors, they don't want every lake to be under cover, they don't want this to be the new era of fishing. What it is, is a classroom style environment which is safe (i.e schools, juniors and those with learning or physical disabilities are able to use it without upsetting the health and safety people) which either gives people a taste of fishing which may never have had the chance before, or through the winter when other waters are frozen or it's down right horrible to be outside the kids can carry on learning and fishing. A lot of the young anglers who started fishing here are now fishing (and doing really well!) in various clubs and open matches, so we still stand by what we said in the fact that as a tool to get people into angling, or give them a chance to try it when they wouldn't have due to whatever reason, it's brilliant and we urge you all to get behind it. Love you all Andy and Jamie

I started fishing last year, I were 14 I was constantly getting in trouble with police, getting excluded from school at least once a month. Since fishing I’ve not been in trouble with police one I’m getting in trouble at school half as much. I go to school get me heard down and get on bank as much as possible.

There is a local fisherie near me called Moor ponds, its brilliant, I think this is a really great idea but surely it must be a lot more cost effective to build individual shelters over the fishing pegs of little fisheries ?

[@DaveTaylor-fh1mh]

Wish we had this down south, I think it’s important to remember that if you go fishing during the week you’ll find a large number are OAPs and like me don’t have the best of health and are not able to fish during the winter time, The venues are empty during the week in winter time,I know quite a few that would be interested in somewhere like this in those cold months,

Angling is all about the great outdoors. Nature. I understand the concept of bringing young people into the sport, but the likes of Terry Hearn and other fishing personalities are far more inspiring than sitting in a dome without the fresh air and the great outdoors. Fishing is absolutely thriving so no need for this really

[@chrisjohnstone2392]

An amazing idea and what a fantastic way to get kids into fishing.. Well done to all involved 👍👍👍👍

[@matthewbaguley5511]

I think this is an excellent idea for beginners. As a 19 year old who started my fishing journey over lockdown in the winter this would have been perfect. However there is definitely something rewarding about sitting on a cold bank in winter and landing a nice winter carp.

can see the idea behind it to get kids into fishing, and would be a good classroom environment for kids to learn the basics. But they would get a greater passion for the hobby by being outside!

Good video mate but in all honesty its not something i could do fishing for me is outdoors but in saying that it is a good starting point for those who want to take up angling,show them the basic set ups ,and totally up for getting the kids out there bedrooms ,when i first seen the video i thought thats weird but as you say for people with disabilities who cant make the rivers or resorviors ans so forth im all for it,its gradually growing on me when you look at the bigger picture thanks for sharing atb crash ps ive just subbed😁

[@Daz0566]

Having read some of the comments on here. I don't actually think most was really listening. It's to get the kids away from play stations etc. More chance of them taking a interest if it warmer and out the wind and rain. They'll soon get fed up if it's raining. It might not be for you but if it gets more kids on the bank then all be it.

[@BUSHCRAPPING]

If you want to get kids into fishing you need to show them the more exciting methods like lure fishing or surface stalking carp both of which are banned on most commercial venues. I took my girlfriends younger sister fishing she is ten. We spent 2 hours on the float fishing for roach and she was bored stiff even though we had about 15 fish of a decent stamp then I tied a spinner on and she caught about 10 perch and loved every second of it.

Next is fishing your aquarium (garden gnome outfit optional).

Should be teaching kids about etiquette when fishing too. It's a well mannered and behaved sport. Nothing worse than getting on the fish then a 14 year old lad starts casting on to your spots and shouting etc.

[@portcullis5622]

Not for me as I like natural looking lakes; the wildlife and the seasonal weather is a large part of the appeal of angling for me. It is as much about the places as it is about catching fish. I would much rather have a blank day on a beautiful river or lake than a net full of easy fish on an ugly pond. Having said that, I have seen outdoor commercial waters that look less natural than this indoor pond!

[@MrB-bl3bf]

This isn't angling, its "catching".

[@jamsams]

That's how you get kids into fishing....by making sure they catch. If you send them out "angling" as you put it, they probably won't catch and we might just see the death of our sport for future generations.

[@ethq741]

Mark Coleman yeah of course it is, listen to what’s said at the start of the video “we know less youngsters are coming into the sport now and that’s a problem” the industry is having a knee jerk reaction to thinking fishing is becoming obsolete. Personally I think there’s a million obstacles in the way of a budding angler, for one it just isn’t that safe anymore, period. And kids are exposed to way more than an older person is, they actually know who the people are doing the crime and your asking them to go outside and sit at the waters edge all day, when they could be in and not worried about anything. Sad but true. And then there’s the generally patronising tone that older folk like to take with youngsters who are entering the game, I liken it to the building trade and it’s actually got pretty much the same consequence, while it’s sound to have a laugh and keep some banter rolling there comes a point where you are simply being a cxnt and making it so that person doesn’t want to work for you anymore, exactly the same thing applies to fishing, it hasn’t got so much to do with being a snowflake as much as it has about not being an idiot to someone for no reason and maybe, just maybe we would see a shift in the direction of the sport?

Reading the comments I can see and agree with a number of posters regarding "encouraging" the younger generation to fish indoors, they need to be outdoors, in the real world and not a cyber one. As technology evolves our kids evolve with it, they are more in tune with technology than they are with nature, one day they will end up like " the Borg" off Star Trek, kids of today can't function without their phone's, these day's they don't converse any more, they "text" literally when they are sat feet apart!!. Would love to drop them in the middle of a moor with just a map and compass, and no gadgets, obviously we would need to keep an eye on them....................................................obviously!!. P.S. rant over.

[@northernthrifter8817]

Unfortunately and this may seem extreme but they want to turn the kids into borg it's very worrying how they've quelled any common sense out of teachers and the like who should be encouraging kids to get out but the authorities want us to believe its not safe out for kids which is nonsense smart phones and xbox aren't healthy
