Float Fishing For Chub on the River Swale LDASA Asenby

In this episode, the 1000 subscribers prize draw winner, Keith Knowles obtains a guest ticket for me and we go float fishing for chub on the LDASA River Swale at Asenby. The river varies in pace and depth here, however we choose a couple of shallow, fast water swims that we hope are home to our quarry.
Leeds and District Amalgamated Society of Anglers hold the rights to this stretch just above Sheep Hills Farm and Cundall Lodge Farm. The River Swale is also popular for barbel fishing, with the deeper swims generally better suited to to this species and a bait presented on a ledger, feeder or a traditional stick float.
During the day, the fast water swims offer the chance of some prolific sport when targeting the hard fighting chub on balanced tackle. When trotting for chub in fast shallow water the rig I choose is a small drennan loafer float, 5lb line and a size 14 hook to present double maggot or double caster hookbait.

Yes, it was incredibly difficult to land, almost impossible to steer it, hooked in the belly and in that fast water, quite how I managed to get it in is beyond me, lady luck.

The Swale is probably the best chub river in Yorkshire, although there's plenty in the Wharfe, Ure and Nidd too. If you ever fancy a day out, give me a shout, I'll be fishing these rivers more in the future returning to old stomping grounds from my twenties and some I've never fished.

John...Belting vid mate, am a Leeds DASA book holder, and would highly recommend you buy this in the near future. Am busy organising myself a trip on the Wharfe at Ulleskelf next week, some BIG Chub here, got my 2 PBs from here 5lb 4oz and 5lb 2oz, also some quality roach and bream fishing. GO ON PAL get in there Best regards Ian

@HOOKEDFishingChannel 3 жыл бұрын

Love it Ian, Keith told me Ulleskelf had been fishing well again, I often fished it on an evening 20 years ago, pegs in the late 60s fished well back then. Tried again a few seasons back but they weren't there. I do like the lower Wharfe though. 👍

Nice one John, that performance might help to sell some club yearbooks. Yearbooks available online, very reasonably priced, no joining fee, no extra charge for a second rod and some of the best waters in Yorkshire. Enjoy.

@HOOKEDFishingChannel 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for sorting the day out Keith. It's a great value club book, with probably the best river stretches in Yorkshire, just wish I had more time to get out on them, thoroughly enjoyed it, we'll sort another session out in October if you fancy it? Whatever species we're targeting. Coming up for my busiest month match fishing in September, then I'll have a bit more time to go where I please.

Great video mate, I'm back to rivers and fishing the Swale this season. Is the closed face Abu worth the messing about with the backwind?

@HOOKEDFishingChannel 2 жыл бұрын

Quite honestly no, I've got rid of my 507s now, they were causing me too many issues with line lay and bedding in.. I do prefer close face reels for stick float work but I'm using open face with the stick at the moment, if I don't get on with them then I'll probably go back and find some earlier Abu's for sale like I used to own.

Hello John what a beautiful place to fish and what a good stamp of fish you had, you looked really at home on the river is that your favourite type of fishing or do you prefer the commercials many thanx

@HOOKEDFishingChannel 3 жыл бұрын

The Swale is gorgeous isn't it. I love my river fishing best, any kind really but it's really satisfying catching them in inches of water, keeps you busy when it's that fast.

Nice fishing. I Just wish people would be more responsible and not name specific venues in their KZfaq videos.

@HOOKEDFishingChannel 3 жыл бұрын

It's always a dilemma, do you or don't you. This kind of fishing isn't for everyone, the walking,, climbing tree roots and standing up all day is what keeps most people away. Can't please everybody all of the time.

@davesmith325 3 жыл бұрын

It’s the poaching I worry about. Been a few incidents on the Swale in the last few years, and probably more that have gone under the radar.

How do you keep float in place on a fast moving river

@HOOKEDFishingChannel Жыл бұрын

I'm not sure why you'd want to? Float fishing fast water is about making the bait go naturally with the flow by mending the line, you can slow the float down by letting the line trip off the spool using your finger as a brake, this will make the bait rise up in the water sometimes inducing a bite. The point is, when the bait is flowing fast down the river, the fish don't get much time to inspect it so they generally fall for it more readily than a static bait.

I enjoyed the video. One of Leeds DASA excellent waters. It will be good to see you on the bank with a Leeds DASA book. I saw an albino chub caught on that swim on two occasions. The fish which broke you will have been barbel. They like the well-oxygenated water when the river is low. What body-cam do you have?

@HOOKEDFishingChannel 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Charly, glad you enjoyed it pal, I've watched a lot of your barbel fishing vids on the Swale and elsewhere, always informative and entertaining. I've never seen an Albino chub!? Action cameras are fairly cheap items, they're Akaso V50 Pro's.
