- 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 👊😂
@@antsfishing 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!
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.
Well done lad.A lot of fish being caught in the video. Just again a huge well done mate
Nice one 👍 great to see what these small rivers old ... makes me want to get the float rod out again ....👍👍
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.
It’s amazing what these small rivers hold in town centres, where the Cormorants and Goosanders don’t get a chance to clean up 👍🏻
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...
Quality video 🎣
This was a lovely looking spot to fish…
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. ☮️💜☮️💜☮️
Steady job Alfie, real nice watch 👌🏻 Thanks
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!😊
Love it Alfie! Keep the videos coming mate 👍🎣
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.
Perfect winter mornings fishing....Cool!....
Lovely video alfie, can't beat catching some of the smaller species on the float 👏 so much fun
Quality stuff!!
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 😊
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.
Nice chilling watch Alfie . There used to be lots of barbel stacked up in that part of the river .
Happy new year Alfie best wishes, look forward to more vids
Remember that bridge in Carl and Alex videos before barbel of the surface on bread.
Great stuff mate. You can’t beat that sometimes, nice and simple, maggots and a float rod for whatever comes along 👌🏼
Good luck Alfie
Well done, especially for the care in handling the fish 🎉
Keep them coming 💯
Nice one Alfie that minnow was massive 😮
Lovely fishing mate I enjoyed that 🎉
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 . 👍
Cool catches. Love how you can find so many species in such an urban area.
Very promising!
I think you need to take more maggots next time 🤣
Another superb video!
Keep them coming 💪
Great to see some smaller barbel populating the rivers provide some hope for the future
Excellent! My favourite type of fishing 😁 Best is 9 species in a session, but never had a baby barbel.
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
Well done
Excellent fishing
What a cracking little spot especially for winter
REally enjoyrd that mate, well done!
Thanks mate !
I've had brown trout and perch out of there too, it's a great little spot
Shocking music but great viewing well done👍😉👏👏👏
Nice video, very engaging.
Love your vids young sir
Thank you 😊
Great content!
Thanks!
Great video mate. Tell mr whitman i said hello, old school friend of his.
Great video, is it free fishing there?
Where is this I want to go fishing with my son not been for about 20 years looks nice and peaceful would be ideal
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.
Second species of the day was a baby barbel😊. I no my baby barbel
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
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?
What, no bleak?
Where abouts in Nottingham is this stretch?
Wheathamstead Herts
♥️👍🇬🇧
Not feeling it, coming across as a bit flash 😊
Im never going to be everyones cup of tea. but glad you watched thanks!😊
