FLY FISHING for River Ribble BARBEL - As featured in the Angling Times
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ย. 2022
- This is arguably one of the most incredible fishing objectives we have completed to date. Huge thanks to our guest angler James for being the brains behind our recent success in FLY FISHING FOR BARBEL. Follow a single session with Joel and James on their hunt for a fly caught Barbel from the stunning river Ribble in the North West of England.
Expect powerful battles with strong river Barbel, chaotic tail thrashing scenes and of course, some beautiful, clean RIVER RIBBLE BARBEL ON THE BANK!!
Due to our success in this unique method, the Angling Times published an article (THE GAME CHANGER | Issue: 3587) with James explaining the methods and the finely tuned approach. This was our first Angling Times article at Albion Angling!

Brilliant video guys, Ribble looks fantastic.
Hi Mark, really appreciate your kind feedback, thanks mate.
The Ribble is utterly enchanting. We have a lot to learn still and I think in a single lifetime, we will only scratch the surface of this magnificent river!
We have more ribble videos from this season in production too (Grayling and Chub 😀)
Cheers, Joel.
Well you kept that one quiet! I've had plenty of chub to 5lb on fly but never a Barbel! A target for me too next summer. Top fluff chucking! 👌
Cheers mate! I would love a 5lb Chub on fly!
Joel
@@albionangling try a a surface lure at night dragging across the river fished across under bushes...
@@soultrader57fishingandmusi25 this sounds a lot of fun!
Joel
I have to do this! Give my 8wt Reservoir rod a good old bend.
Well done. Epic session! 💪🏻🎣💥
You can guarantee a barbus will put a bend in rod 🥵
Lovely stuff! Looks like a beautiful swim to fish!
Thanks John!
It was quite something, being able to see the barbel feeding and flashing in the clear water under the rod tip. We already have our tackle ready for those low summer conditions next season 😉
Cheers!
Fantastic angling and top video! Enjoyed that! 👏
Thanks for the support, it really is much appreciated 😀
Joel
Well done great video. This is how I've been doing most of my barbel fishing for the last few years. You can't beat barbel on fly gear. I use cream colour squirmys and big cream colour maggot or grub imitations barbel love light coloured flys. I'd ditch the indicators they just spook the fish. Great stuff fellas keep the videos coming.
Thanks Peter!
We will follow your advice and put the lighter coloured squirmies to the test this summer, thanks for the tips 😀. We want to make another video too!
We use the indicator where we can't sight fish for them, only specific conditions allow for sight fishing for them on our Ribble, otherwise indicators do help when in coloured/deeper runs. Very open to suggestions though! What rivers/swims are you employing this method?
Cheers,
Joel
Great video.
Thanks mate 👍
Enjoyed your Woolly Bugger Fly Tying video, one of our favourite flies!
All the best,
Joel
Great video - happy days
Thanks Alex!
Hoping that we have more of these days to come too 🙏
Cheers,
Joel
Brilliant video, thanks for sharing. On the fly, credit due. I must give that a try.
Thanks mate 😀
Just watched your Wye video. Keen to get a session in on there again, trotting for Barbel. What tickets do you tend to go for on there? I've only fished Hereford thus far, would be nice to see a more rural stretch and change of scenery perhaps 😀
@@albionangling I used a website called Fishing Passport 👍
Superb job on the video and thank you for the epic intro 😂
Absolute pleasure mate! Lets get our heads together for our winter plans dude 😉
Joel
Superb! That's all I got 😉
Cheers mate!
Lets get planning our next Avon skirmish 😉
Joel
Just awesome mate 💪🎣 this video worth for subscribe 👌
Thanks mate 😀 really appreciate that. I'll be fly fishing for pike for the first time soon, safe to say i'll be checking your pike on fly content to try get some tips!
All the best,
Joel
That was amazing. you looked blessed with the rivers up there, proper mens rivers.
The Ribble does sort the men from the boys, it can give you the best or the worst days fishing depending what mood its in 🤣. Sad to say that we have never fished it in winter, so we are keen to do some trotting there before the season is out and when levels allow.
Thanks for the comment mate! You should 100% give barbel on fly a go yourself if you haven't already 😀
All the best,
Joel
@@albionangling I don't currently own any fly gear but think I will invest in the close season, i really fancy some Pike on the fly!
Keep up the great work.
Paul
@PaulVicaryfishing cheers Paul, really appreciate the feedback 😀. Big fan of your roach videos! Barbel are easy up north (without sounding arrogant!) but finding those big roach is another kettle of fish altogether....
Well done the pair of you. Long time since I caught a barbel on fly but it's great fun. I've had small trout go between the legs but wouldn't want to deal with a barbel that did that. I must admit, though, I wouldn't want either of you as a ghillie chasing the fish with the landing net.
Cheers mate!
Which rivers did you fly fish for Barbel? The conditions had to be perfect for us to have any chance on the Ribble.
Rest assured, no plans for Ghillie work!
Cheers, Joel
@@albionangling The first I had was on the Wharfe fishing for grayling. I've had them from the Wye and the Swale deliberately. It is something that has increased in popularity over recent years.
@@jorvikangler i could see how it could work well on the Wye actually! Looking forward to another trip there next summer 😀
Joel
@@albionangling We weren't always sight fishing. A lot of the time it was a case of fishing through a likely looking run in what you now call a Euronymphing style.
@@jorvikangler interesting you say this! I tried this on Ribble and ended up catching Grayling (which are rarely caught on said stretch) no barbel though!
Amazing, great video, fish the Ribble myself, hard enough catching them by conventional methods.
Thanks Michael 😀
I've not caught big numbers of barbel this season but all the barbel I have caught have been on float or fly. No ledgering! Its been a huge learning curve but with unrivalled reward.
100% doing a combination of methods including static baits next season though (got to stay sane!)
Joel
@@albionangling I'm just heading into pike fishing now ,but i will definitely try barbel on the fly next year and i'm also wanting to try pike on the fly to. Will probably get a rod to cover both aspects. probably a #10wt or similar.
@@2705mrhodes Niall has a video in the pipeline for the channel which covers pike on fly! You should 100% have a crack, I am yet to try it myself
Joel
@@2705mrhodes Most of the people that fish for barbel on fly regularly seem to use a #6 as it allows small weighted flies to be flicked out accurately with a long leader euronymph style.
Caught a large barbel today on Mitton beat on a squirmy 4wt fly rod x5 tippet was scary, thought id hooked the bottom 😂
Well in mate! That is a superb achievement, especially considering your setup! No chance I would be landing Barbus on a 4wt 🤣.
I've not had time to fish the Ribble since open season yet, itching to get out there again.
Tight lines and all the best,
Joel
Brilliant! I've now subscribed to your channel. I need to invite myself to my niece's house. She lives within a mile of the Ribble. I remember watching salmon jumping the weir at Settle years ago. What a great river! If you are prepared to share it, where were you fishing?
Upstream of Preston 😀 not been much this season though!
Hi Great video. Who manages that stretch of the Ribble please? Cheers Kevin
Wigan one side and Prince Albert the other 😀
Thanks
Are you on the PA side
Cheers
K
Wigan, I've been on the waiting list for PA for nearly 3yrs and not had a sniff yet 😅
Cheers
so you use a boober and worm-like thing
so are you basically float fishing, but with extra steps? haha
Not quite... give it a try 😀
