Barbel videos on YouTube

[Ian Murfin]

I'm working away overseas at the moment and missing my fishing, so started looking to see what I could find on YouTube. There's a lot of films that are distinctly average so thought I'd ask if any of you have any particular favourites to try and shortcut the search process.

Please drop a link in the thread for any favourites and then we can get a few 'pre approved' by BFW members for us all to drop on to when the need arises.

Many thanks

The Stuart Morgan/Guy Robb ones were uploaded to YouTube a couple of years ago so that anybody can watch them for free.

I think they are titled ‘up close and personal’ and ‘barbel even closer’.

I’m afraid I’ve no idea how to provide direct links…..

Matt Hayes has uploading some nice films onto YouTube entitled Fisherman's Country. The river sections cover the middle Severn principally and as you would expect from Matt they are very well presented ( along with Mick Brown) and nicely shot. Another guy I like to watch has a Facebook group 'Robs Angling' and has quite a few YouTube videos, again principally based on the middle Severn. Comes across as a really nice chap. Then there's the 'Silent angler' films on YouTube mainly shot on the Wye. Sorry, no idea how to provide links.

silent angling

Following a break from angling and a career change in 2020, I re-immersed myself in the world of fishing through You Tube. To my dismay, I encountered a stark contrast to the angling I knew and loved. The content was often over-commercialized, lacking the heart and soul of the sport. Through...

I find the vast majority of stuff on Youtube to be amateurish, product placement mad or both.

I’m also finding the latest Matt Hayes content to be a little dated in its style.

My recommendation is take out a one month subscription to Fishflix, as the content from Martin Bowler is awesome and the new bench mark in angling films:

Fishflix

There’s a Fishflix app too.

I'm sure i'll succumb to Fishflix at some point but there must be some good free stuff to watch first

I watched summer last night and enjoyed it thanks for sharing. The film quality dates it a bit, but the content is good.

I once made a few YouTube videos, wasn't going to mention them but a few people enjoyed them and I got good feedback off them. Have a search for 'the barbel project'. It's only amateur stuff and the first ones I made are terrible but the later ones aren't so bad

Hi and welcome to my channel. I'm a barbel angler from Shropshire in the west Midlands (i also fish for other species such as carp and tench). I decided to make this channel (nothing serious) solely as a blog around my barbel fishing (mainly on the river severn) and bait making due to a lack of...

I quite like Avon Angling videos. Seems a "no-nonsence" guy. Also has a 2nd site on YouTube where he gives hints and tips about bait, rigs, equipment etc.
He insists he is not sponsored, so that's reassuring.

Here's an old Fred Crouch film with him at King's Weir. Simpler times.
