- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- A post Christmas morning out on the River Lea in search of as many species as possible.
Home to a variety of species including Chub, Dace, Barbel & Roach we set out to see how many we could catch on light tackle trotting maggots.

Thank you guys for all the kind words and positivity as always! Means so much to me😁😊! 🎣
This was quality! Felt like I was there, fishing with ya. Love this type of fishing. 👌🎣
Carl vs Alfie challenge 👊😂
@@Ant88p I’d have no chance if it was for carp!!
Thanks mate! 😁 means a lot coming from you! Although I wouldn’t bet on myself in a carp competition 🤭!
@fishwithcarl you'd have no chance for any species!
Nice one 👍 great to see what these small rivers old ... makes me want to get the float rod out again ....👍👍
Back in the 1950s/early 1960s I used to fish there regularly, there used to be some big shoals of cracking roach back then, some well over 2lb. The favourite method was very light ledgering using a small shot that would run through the swim and always holding the rod. The most productive bait was silk weed collected from the bridge stones. We used mostly natural baits back then, don't know why they're not used nowadays.
Great video. I love the multi species stuff. The size of the tail fin on that Roach on minute 10 was awesome ❤.
Yea I clocked that, thought it was some hybrid to be honest!
@TheAmericanDane possibly, the tail does look a bit Breamy perhaps? Although no other obvious signs to my amateur eyes other than that big tail.
Yes incredible really..so others noticed it as well...
Well done lad.A lot of fish being caught in the video. Just again a huge well done mate
Hey good to see you again, great little days angling there lad, well done Alfie. 💯👌🙏
Happy new year to you and your family.
All the best lad. ☮️💜☮️💜☮️
Get so caught up with carp fishing sometimes and don't go unless I have the time to do a night or 2. Videos like this make me get out more and enjoy short sessions... great stuff Alfie 👌
Thanks 😊
Love it Alfie! Keep the videos coming mate 👍🎣
Simple fishing is so good, 1 backpack and some comfy trainers for the day. Bivvy and sleeping bag has it's place but short sessions packed light hold a special spot for me.
I absolutely loved your video about Gudgeon on the river Wandle, there are some absolutely cracking barbel, just up from there in front of the Sainsburys, but I remember you fishing a forgotten forgotten ponds in north London, where you caught a 40lb carp, I'm sure I know where that pond is, I read the article in Carpology fishing Magazine
Glad you are enjoying it all!😊
Quality video 🎣
Perfect winter mornings fishing....Cool!....
Well done, especially for the care in handling the fish 🎉
I love fishing on small rivers like that! 🔥 Superb fishing Alfie! 🎣🤘
Well, new bucket list item for me - fishing the UK. Glad I found your channel mate, thanks for posting.
It’s amazing what these small rivers hold in town centres, where the Cormorants and Goosanders don’t get a chance to clean up 👍🏻
Steady job Alfie, real nice watch 👌🏻 Thanks
Lovely video and a great session - just getting into fishing the small streams & rivers of Kent and it’s a wonderful way to spend a few hours in a day.
Shocking music but great viewing well done👍😉👏👏👏
Great video nice to see healthy fish and my favourite the gudgen, don't see any on our fishing club water no more great Linford angling club Milton Keynes, grand Union canal thanks to the signal crayfish I'd say
Lovely video alfie, can't beat catching some of the smaller species on the float 👏 so much fun
Great stuff mate. You can’t beat that sometimes, nice and simple, maggots and a float rod for whatever comes along 👌🏼
Them baby barbel always bring a smile to my face " you just hope they Dodge cormorants and otters and become the fish dreams are made of . Oh and well done on the winter fishing it's not everyone's cup of tea . 👍
Great video alfie
I think you need to take more maggots next time 🤣
Another superb video!
Keep them coming 💪
Great video, is it free fishing there?
Happy new year Alfie best wishes, look forward to more vids
Nice chilling watch Alfie . There used to be lots of barbel stacked up in that part of the river .
Great video. I fished the Lea throughout my childhood and in to my late teens. Never caught a Barbel even at Kings Wier. Plenty of Chub. Is that the old river lea at Hertford?
Nice one Alfie that minnow was massive 😮
I've had brown trout and perch out of there too, it's a great little spot
I grew up in wheathampstead, next time go more towards brocket hall. you can get some series barbel fish. If you become a member of verulam, you can fish the golden stretch of river going towards harpenden or towards hatfield.
This was a lovely looking spot to fish…
Excellent! My favourite type of fishing 😁 Best is 9 species in a session, but never had a baby barbel.
Lovely fishing mate I enjoyed that 🎉
Great video mate. Tell mr whitman i said hello, old school friend of his.
Great to see some smaller barbel populating the rivers provide some hope for the future
Cool catches. Love how you can find so many species in such an urban area.
Very promising!
Well done
Excellent fishing
Yea really like this video friend…. easy watching with a bit of excitement thrown in… that’s a really nice mornings fishing being able to catch all of those different species…. i’ve watched a few of your videos now and decided to subscribe… you’re a nice humble fellow like myself… some of the videos on here that people make can be a little patronising… you’re the opposite…. I was getting right into it… especially the nice barbel at the end… the pile sticking out of the water concerned me a bit until yyfor it into the open water!!! keep up the good work…..
Nice video, very engaging.
What a cracking little spot especially for winter
REally enjoyrd that mate, well done!
Thanks mate !
Quality stuff!!
Where is this I want to go fishing with my son not been for about 20 years looks nice and peaceful would be ideal
Good luck Alfie
Love your vids young sir
Thank you 😊
Great video, again like what Carl said, it felt like i was there with you. Do you think the Acolyte rods are the best there is out there at the moment
Keep them coming 💯
Remember that bridge in Carl and Alex videos before barbel of the surface on bread.
Great content!
Thanks!
Second species of the day was a baby barbel😊. I no my baby barbel
What, no bleak?
Are those club waters you're fishing there buddy?
if I was there I'd probably live bait a minnow for a big perch or chub
Hi Alfie where abouts was this please?
Where abouts in Nottingham is this stretch?
Wheathamstead Herts
