Small Stream Chub Fishing

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 music supporting the credits.
The fake (this is a modern film after all) lino cuts a la 'BB' and my much thumbed copy of 'Rough river and Small stream fishing' by David Carl Forbes who sadly died too young.
All of them contributed to my enduring love of fishing in a way that modern journalism probably can't, rooted as it is in these less innocent times.
We were truly a lucky generation. Thank you for watching.

NB: George and I would like to apologise for the inclusion of adverts at the beginning of these videos. Throughout, we have striven to avoid any form of advertising within our films, believing that angling should and could be a world beyond the reach of crude commercial interest. Unfortunately Google have changed the rules of engagement so that we can longer prevent it.
Many of Jack Hargreaves programmes can be found on Youtube on the channel belonging to his film maker Dave Knowles
Music - I don't know anywhere near as much about classical music as I should but to the best of my sadly failing memory, this is what I used, all of it from royalty free sites readily accessible on the internet.
Memories of the Alhambra - Francisco Tarrega
The 'Moonlight' Sonata - Ludwig van Beethoven

Not only a generously informative film, but one that beautifully captures the true essence of angling. A long time ago I spent 3 intense years behind buzzers and it broke my soul. I now travel light with a rod and a few basics and enjoy my fishing so much more. Thank you for this 👏👏👏👏👏

I spent my whole fishing life on that kind of river.... It makes a good angler out of you

David Carl Forbes was my father-in- law and one of the finest small water anglers I’ve ever fished with. He would be amazed at the size of the Chub we now catch on the Hants Avon, Test and Dorset stour. Incidentally, he would love the way your videos are presented.

I must comment again..after watching till the end, this is the best fishing for chub video i've seen. Exceptional. Keep up the good work.

What a wonderful reminder of the late and great Jack Hargreaves and at the same time, a tremendous film in its own right. Thank you ....

Wonderful video, very calm, vey moody, and just that feeling of being there, thank you sir.

The attention to watercraft is what really stands out here. Too often modern angling media focuses on the tackle and branded bait. It's finding the right place to fish that undoubtedly increases your chances more than anything else of catching your intended quarry. More, please!

Lovely. At the age of 66, I'm getting back to my roots and fishing small rivers again (and not carrying a mountain of rods and gear). This is just the inspiration I need. Thanks.

My goodness. I could watch your vlogs all day long. Thanks. And I remember well, Sunday lunchtimes watching Jack, although I was possibly a little young to fully appreciate.
