  • River Dee Carp Fishing. A walk along the River Dee in Chester City Centre. Starting on the upper reaches of the meadows, down past the rowing club and the Boathouse Pub to Queens Park Bridge and the groves, then looking down past the boats towards the weir. The River Dee is tidal here, even above Chester Weir. Check out the link in the comments section to find out about River Dee tide times.

    Nice one mark I'll give it a go soon , I've not carp fished the Dee there before, launched my boat a few times on the other side from where you started but thats for the pike and perch, usually ride it up to farndon and back, few nice pegs in farndon too . Cheers mate.

      not as many carp in the city centre as there used to be mate, pressure has pushed some of them out and upstream but there are still plenty left to go at👍

    Hi Mark, great video of the river I'm moving to Chester in a month . So will be on here searching for them. I fished rivers in and around London so would be cool to fish a river not surrounded by housing estates :)

    • @MarkCarp
      @MarkCarp  5 років тому +1

      yeah it won't be that bad compared to London mike, there are plenty of places that are out of the way of the general public too, there is a rowing club in the centre and boaters can sometimes be a pain but apart from that it's ok, I think it's still free fishing too👍

      @@mogadog9184 the carp are literally all over the river mate, the city centre is still the best spot but they are also in the tidal below the weir although the fishing down there is very hit and miss and it's a proper dump, further up the free stretch at eccleston ferry is worth a look. when i fished the river i literally just used up any spare bait i had at the time, that was mostly bandit baits mulberry birdfood boilies, chick peas and tiger nuts, i caught on all of them but mostly tigers because they're bullet proof and i could just put the rig back out without having to rebait it in the dark👍

    Have you ever had any of the big barbel while after the carp ,I was trying for the carp up Farndon today and had a 13lb barbel , was a nice suprise. I'm thinking of trying this spot is it dee anglers pal?

    • @MarkCarp
      @MarkCarp  7 років тому

      barbel are still quite rare in the dee matt, you've done superbly well catching a 13lb fish, the river record is only a pound or so heavier than that, fish of a lifetime that mate 👍 I've never caught any barbel whilst fishing for the carp and I've never caught any carp from the farndon area although they have been seen there occasionally. You need to be further downstream to be in with a better chance of a carp, dee anglers have a stretch by farndon bridge opposite the free swims and they have the city centre where there are more carp so yeah they are a good club to join 👍

    • @mattcrowder5168
      @mattcrowder5168 7 років тому

      Paul Cooke plenty down there as well paul, I can't get on with it though, access is poor and I noticed rather a large amount of used needles down by the racecourse when I was doing my recce's, its not a stretch of the river I ever intend to fish.

      as far as I know you can night fish Robert, you might get someone moan and try to move you on if you are bivvied up, I always fished under a brolly so as not to fall foul of the camping rule 👍
      in order to not draw attention to myself I only set up half an hour before dark and I always left just after first light before the dog walkers came out, that way nobody knew what I was doing 👍
