Lenmcharristar 9,910 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 I watched the mid winter madness and the search for salmon today lol. Brings back memories Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,416 Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Specimen fish caught on vintage tackle, fantastic commentary and camera work catching the atmosphere, traditional methods, bottles of wine and some banter, wildlife and two eccentric anglers. It is the definitive angling show. 4 Quote Link to post
Lenmcharristar 9,910 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Feck I can't wait to go winter piking, crisp frosty winters morning where it's still and sunny all day but the frost never melts, good campfire on the go and feeding maggots to the resident robin red brest 7 Quote Link to post

ratbuster 807 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Not to my knowledge, only 6 episodes in the first series. Sadly, that's all we have Quote Link to post

tomburras 2,730 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I used to watch it nightly over and over again and never got bored. I loved the redmire one - hopefully going to fish it next year. Quote Link to post

J Darcy 5,871 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 The most pioneering angling programme of all time. It will never be surpassed because nowadays the angling films are all about bigger, faster, more, more, more. The magic has gone out of much fishing, for me at the very least. However back in the day PFA was groundbreaking and as good as any attenborough film of the time. I love them all, redmire is a belter though. The salmon one was filmed at the top of the River Dulnain, a tributary of the Spey. We spent many a memorable day trying to find that pool, but it's not the sort of place you can just walk around, and , besides, there's not many silver tourists in that pool until very late in the season as it's a long way up. So I believe. 1 Quote Link to post

So I believe. I know what you mean, life is just in one big hurry these days, even when fishing you always have something in the back of yer head that needs done. When they were made I was in 2nd year of high school and life then was simpler so we got to appreciate what was happening and our surroundings. Spent many a winters day fishing for jack pike in old mill ponds in the snow, ice etc but wouldn't change any of it 1 Quote Link to post
