Thank you Gentlemen for a wonderfully thought provoking debate on these many items, I have unfortunately only been able to watch this via the recorded production, however, I can 100% concur with Charles on all his values of our beautiful sport, there was only one question, I do not think was aired, that I would loved to have put to Charles, which I am sure we would have disagreed on, maybe I will get a chance next time. Tight Lines, Steve.
So I rock up on your river beat looking for all the world like a fly fisher. Getting to the water, I take out a 4 meter telescopic pole, to which I’d attached a small float, cocked by some bulk shot under which are 3 well-known imitative flies. I wade out and trot the flies at dead drift speed in all the likely places. They are proper flies, but is it fly fishing?

As it is you David I'd be very understanding!
