Tench - A Long Awaited Spring
A slow start to the tench season reminds us that it is our impatience after a long winter that is more often the problem rather than any change in the weather or fish behaviour.

Perch - Autumn bites
มุมมอง 9K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Filmed in those few gaps in the various stages of lockdown, when all was quiet, boat travel needed to be essential and both fish and fishermen were benefiting from the hiatus.

Throughout, we have striven to avoid any form of advertising within our films, believing that angling should and coul...
Silver Bream - In Search of the Forgotten Fish

This film was somehow lost from TH-cam in April 2020 but was reinstated on 17.04.2020 Views at time of loss were around 5k. Universally ignored by much of the angling world, we maintain that this oft-overlooked fish is a very worthwhile quarry and no less significant than any other coarse fish, from Dace to Carp.

Barbel - Slacks and Creases.
มุมมอง 32K4 ปีที่แล้ว
How many other obsessions can spring such huge surprises in the least likely of conditions? For the avid angler, every nuance of the art is a joy, but, arguably, nothing beats the euphoria of success wrestled from the most adverse of conditions; whether that is simply a nice fish, a personal best or the 'fish of a lifetime'? NB: George and I would like to apologise for the inclusion of adverts ...
Small Stream Chub Fishing
มุมมอง 45K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Anglers of a certain vintage will spot my homage to some of the inspirational writers and broadcasters of my youth. A time when fishing was all about the pleasure of taking part and not the kudos of becoming a legend in one's own little world. So I take my metaphorical hat off in the credits to Jack Hargreaves' Out of Town programme about rural life (just as it was dying out I suppose) with the...
