The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

Many thanks Danny. Very enjoyable link to watch. I thought I recognised the rod rest RB.

Definitely one of his own Rob - it's getting plenty of use....

Thanks Danny.
Great to take a peak into Mr Whites workshop.
I reckon Chilli will soon have a new catchphrase: "Light my Kelly!"

A really great watch Danny Boy, thank you for the link.

Thanks Danny, really enjoyed that...

I noted that too, I don't use anything else since being gifted a pair recently, they are a wonder to behold and tough as old boots!!

Wonderful footage by the way, really enjoyed it and to see 'Chilli' enthuse about simple methods and cane rods was delightful

While I was watching them fishing this river Stour I thought of the river in the stories in "How To Fish.
Is it the same river?

Yes, I believe it is. The pal who Chris bumps in to on the river in the book is Nigel Hudson, ie Fennel. And Jason is indeed the bailiff for that stretch.

Great watch, thanks for posting it up.

Thanks Nobby,While I was watching it I thought it was the river he describes so well in the book.
