Fishing Youtube videos

Turks Pond.

Clues are - Dammed a chalk stream.
In Wessex (in a sparsely populated area)
Strip Farmed Field adjacent.

Not easy!

Using Geomaps, my own old O/S maps and lists of ancient monuments I have probably found the pond but no-one will confirm it. Whether it still has fish (cormorants/otters), is used for duck shooting, is a carp syndicate is anyone's guess, hence I will find my own equivalent somewhere more local and known to me.

sounds like a plan, a good one

There is another video of JH fishing on Kent marshes in iced over conditions. Once again simple float fishing. Its why i like his fishing films . Simple but enjoyable angling

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

Well done on posting these David - I had forgotten all about the series - very enjoyable - I trust all the chocolates are now finished?


Just about sir, just about Glad the series resonated with you too.
