Great video, worth remembering the pollution mentioned, it wasn't all roses back then. The tributaries to the Mersey where I used to live were absolutely dead and lifeless when I was a kid, now they have brown trout in them and they've found Salmon parr in the Mersey.

 

I grew up reading books of men tickling trout and dreaming of catching a good brownie or sea trout on the fly....the stocked lakes really spoiled the anticipation of fishing for me. One of my most memorable fish was probably only a 3/4 Lb wild brownie I caught when we had a weeks fishing near Lockerbie when I was a kid. I was on my own and will never forget the excitement of reeling it in and taking it home to eat. I wouldn't dream of eating a Rainbow, they taste like soil.

the Mersey

when I was a kid it was dead ,black with pollutants...all that lived there hundreds of rats on the bankings

now I have caught salmon in it and last night as I walked the dog I saw someone catch a grayling
