best angling show ever

SeaFields

I cant remember the name of it but fosr year i had on a VHS tape an old angling program that was made around Ireland. There was fly fishing on Mask, Peter O' Reilly fishing the Slaney for grilse and there was spring salmon fishing on he Blackwater in Cork.

It was fantastic. Anyone know the name? Or remember it?

Edit : the program was made in the early 80s I think

Does anyone remember the show when John was fishing in South Africa and he got stuck into a huge fish that ended up breaking his rod? He had to try and hold the rod pieces together and reel in a huge catfish. Absolutely brilliant tv:D

Ya seen that. I actually love when his daughter gets a better fish than him. You can see he's getting p***d off :pac:

I liked the Matt Hayes series with the Duke. The great rod race was an original concept.

Aye Jungle hooks with Jeremy Wade was quite good.
Was a hairy moment in one programe when he was in a light plane and it crashed in the jungle!

Came across this on the web recently, Lee Wulff & his wife Joan probably some of the most famous american fly fishers. Nice video from the olden days must have been amazing fishing.

Lee also put his name to a few of the famous flies we use today bearing his name.

i saw some recently of Oliver Kite on utube, the creator of Kites Imperial dry fly, they are from the early 1960s around the time when he made his early TV series. They are old and in black and white but worth a look for anyone feeling nostalgic!! He was a much respected angler of the time.

just go yo utube and search for Oliver Kite and they are all there.

Came across this DVD the other day, The underwater world of trout, american angler who has done extensive videos of brook, brown and rainbow trout under water, I was amazed at some of the clips of fish behaviour. From fish taking bits of twigs and leaves then spitting them out in a milisecond to the different lies a trout can have and that trout in fast water use less energy than trout in a slow pool!!!! :eek:. Can't recommend it enough!
