Part 2 of Quest for a big Stour roach. I got out for a short 90-minute session on Boxing Day, set up one camera, and here's the edited result:

Re: Fishing Youtube videos
If it’s nostalgia you’re after, then I’ve just set aside the second ( or is it third?) layer of breakfast milk tray and gorged instead on the wonderful 1982 Granada series depicting Arthur Ransome’s Rod and Line
15 short vignettes around 10-15 mins each.
If nothing else the cello and piano soundtrack will have you drift off in front of the fire
Grainy old productions and dubious fish welfare at times but so evocative and always has me dig out the book again

For pudding try Toms River ( Tom Williams River keeper on the River Avon )

Re: Fishing Youtube videos
I’m really enjoying your films. This one 35 years later from Old Country The original was superb and I really enjoyed that one where Dave Swallow used a Short ( maybe 5 ) Pole roving around .. Did he fish like that a lot or was it a one off?. It led me to experimenting with 5 m pole ..good fun .. can’t manage a nothing longer .. Classic London Roach Pole I’d sayDaceAce wrote: ↑Mon Oct 19, 2020 7:04 am I'm continuing to learn about making videos.
Back in about 1985 Jack Hargreaves took Dave Swallow up to the upper Stour and Dave fished for roach and chub to make an episode of 'Old Country'. I returned to the same stretch last week and we filmed what happening, albeit in different conditions.

Re: Fishing Youtube videos
Dave was a versatile angler who I knew from 76 onwards and he was in our winter league team circa 84/85. He wasn't averse to fishing as he thought fit rather than following convention but was a reliable team angler, and he often used a pole. 1985 marked the end of the good big roach fishing on the upper Stour as two pollutions that year did a lot of damage and whilst there was something of a comeback it has never been as good since with cormorants doing much damage. Plenty of small roach on some stretches but a pounder is to be celebrated.Tench Dreamer wrote: ↑Thu Dec 31, 2020 11:07 pmI’m really enjoying your films.

Re: Fishing Youtube videos
Thanks DaceAce. I’ve heard a lot about Dave on here . All good. I also really liked your other film you did too retracing the steps at Fiddleford Mill. When the Old country film resurfaced on YT I was so pleased . I saw it in 1983 aged 16 , and it’s funny how we remember things but my Dad at the time referenced Jacks Camo coat in a positive , you’ve got to move with the times ..
Maybe you could find The Turks Pond because that was a classic
BTW passing on your knowledge on Roach is very good of you. It’s there forever now . Thanks TD

Re: Fishing Youtube videos
Unless someone can tell me where Turk's Pond (by PM) is I'm a bit stuck though I have some possibilities. What I intend to do is find somewhere equally unfished and secret come summer and see what happens.

Re: Fishing Youtube videos
That would be great. Jack used a modern rod ? and even more modern reel but fished ever so Traditional, I really enjoyed that film
Thanks

Turks Pond.
Clues are - Dammed a chalk stream.
In Wessex (in a sparsley populated area)
Strip Farmed Field adjacent.
Not easy!
