Its not Leeds , its a lightly fished area ,and hope it stays that way ,seen so many places change because of people sharing stuff , and its not prolific its hard going most of time ,just as anywhere catch it right like tom did u get better sport
Some good fish there. Was this a LDASA stretch you were catching on? It doesn't look tree-lined enough to be Topcliffe and wrong side of the river for Asenby?
Sadly couldn't be more wrong about fish stocks up North we are in exactly same boat as you reffer to down south , year by year it's noticeable the decline in all species , especially pike and perch , but also barbel and chub ,areas on wharfe and Nidd that were prolific are now very patchy and in some cases almost void of fish. There is always right conditions where fishing seems to improve but that's only cause everything is right to catch . Sadly pollution , predation , and humans especially foreign people take fish to eat , which is why I think not to far down line we maybe need to stop advertising the remaining fishing venues that are still in reasonable condition
Well done, buddy. Some lovely fish there, Tom. Well done as always. All the best.👍😁
Seem to be a good head of Barbel there, unlike the southern rivers nowadays! 👍
Blanks don't make it onto UA-cam
Top angling
I was there last week in all rain and struggled but all came good
