A very nostalgic film

[Steven Hodges]

Just come across this on you tube, a very nostalgic film and well worth watching:

 

[Pete Collins]

Nice video Steven

 

[Roger Hopkins]

Thanks Steve!

 

[Derek Funcks]

Thanks for sharing Steven, enjoyed that.

Good find. I love these old videos, no bait sponsorship, no brand sponsorship, no talking about the same rig everyone else uses just simple fishing.

Now that was a great watch , and a masterclass on how to hook and play good sized Barbel on relatively light tackle , looks like Fred was using a MK1V Avon rod , no 2.5 lb TC rods , baitrunners,bite alarms and rod tip pointing to the sky , excellent , thanks for sharing

 

[Paul Whiteing]

Great video. I cannot believe it was over 9 years ago that I was last talking to Fred

 

[Neil Smart]

Enjoyed that.
Thanks.

Anybody found anymore little gems on YouTube to watch?
I’ve found all the early John Wilson Go Fishing
I enjoy all the old stuff pre sponsorships

Not barbel, but you have all the Alan Wilson with his record Tench, Phil Smith, John Knowles, Jeff Mills on Hollowell, Queensford for the monster Bream back in the day. Those types of videos, for me are the best

 

[Andrew Jackson]

Yes. I watched that recently for the first time. I enjoyed it so much I bought a copy of Fred's book on world of books as well. It reminded me of the more prolific days past on my local Stour and Avon.

I've watched some of Andy Orme's old stuff, Hunting for Barbel and The Mystical Barbel, very nostalgic with a lot of it filmed on the River Teme back in the halcyon days!

Really enjoyed that !
I am with Gavin on this, not a brand name in sight , no pushing the lastest rig that in all honesty probably is no better than a simple home made feeder or a simple free running ledger rig.
A simple honest approach that works as well today as it did then.
