[@FranStefanyszyn]

We are absolutely loving your videos Graeme. We're not fishers but we are TA fishing fans. Please keep them coming. We look forward to your videos everyday!

[@leej4914]

Thanks again Graeme keeping me well and truly entertained

[@FREELOADERSS]

Really appreciate these films, always look forward to watching👍

[@danebennett3433]

what a fantastic video, i thought it was going to be a doom and gloom vid when i saw you take your rods apart...thank you mate you keep me sane at the moment, living in a flat on your own aint much fun but the smashing ov the statue was brilliant... stay safe you and yours

[@1987KAS]

only thing keeping me and my kids going in c19 season is waiting for the ping of a TAF show from you tube lol thank you graeme

[@kevinfarren4564]

I am loving the totally awesome lockdown show 👍🏻🎣

[@TAFishing]

More to come next week..editing another two right now for scheduling.

[@chrismccartney8668]

Awesome Fishing Violent Gardening...great video

[@davidmitchell2292]

Tut-tut, Graeme - no ground sheet for all that soil? You wouldn't have had to clear the grass. Good humour as usual. Roll on the freedom to go fishing. My son and I will give it a few days, to let the rush die down !!

[@ben_snow4497]

Lovely video of the Red Kite Graeme! 👍

[@stevesrepairs3815]

Brilliant Graeme, I'm still laughing. Great to see Colin. Take care and all the best. Stevie

[@grahamwilson6093]

Hi Graeme, great music once again.........looks like you might have had headphones on when you were laying into those roots with the sledge hammer. Such anger........Graham Wilson.

[@davidbutler6024]

A challenge for you Graham!! During the lockdown tie three flies yourself. One lure, one nymph and one dry fly. When the lockdown finishes you have to catch a trout on each of the flies you have tied. Are you up for it?

[@Steve-rr8qf]

Thoroughly enjoyable video, lovely garden you've got there too 👍

[@got2bstuck]

Great video again Graeme👍🏻would love to see a video of all your fishing tackle Cheers 🎣

Way too happy cracking up Romeo and Juliet mate!

[@TAFishing]

Got to take this lockdown out on something.

[@mrwarlock5070]

"Dad"...says my Autistic daughter as she walks into the room...."why is that man beating up a plant....Oh no now he's hitting it with an axe?" I attempted an explanation, but she was far too focused on the fact I was watching a man on KZbin beating up a poor defenceless plant....LOL

[@TAFishing]

Ha...that's got to be tough to explain...Just tell her "that's what happens when you don't eat all your vegetables"....

[@trampster7306]

Waht did that poor Statue ever do to you? !! Nice footage of Colin, Graeme! Stay safe - stay well!

[@IOMFishing]

Our fishing ban ends Saturday morning, can't wait. I will never complain about catching doggies again :)

[@virginiacopeland108]

Thumbs up!!! Clark

[@WACRE44]

Love you “G” lol

[@colinmiller8361]

Can't help but ask, whats Smith up to these days? Yeh, I too am going stir crazy and have also done the garden seats and sorted the tackle out. Nice video Graeme., brightens the week up. Stay safe!

[@TAFishing]

Smith is currently on Furlough,I pay him 2% of his pocket money ,provided he keeps out of my way..I notice there has been an increase in purchases of Smarties,Kit Kats and Mars bar though..

[@books.reviews.pelhamhardim9758]

Good stuff.

[@TheTranquilEye]

I have taken the lines off my reels, stretched them out on a field and then stored them in very large loops indoors (after a good clean). That way, they are in good condititon and have no memory. I paid £90+ for each line this season and I want to get the most out of them.

[@TAFishing]

Good idea.Like all line ,keep out of the sunlight.

[@davidb.7093]

Graeme, great video. Can you or anyone out there explain to me where the soil goes? I noticed when you had finished splitting your plants and were re-planting them you used a lot of compost to bring the soil up to the right level. I'm for ever topping up my planter walls (once a year at least) because the soil level has dropped, why there is no soil on the ground! Same thing in my vegetable plots. Like the way you divide your plants but probably a bit to rough for dividing my Lupins. Slight concern over your mental health over the way you attacked the statue, I think the stress of this lockdown is having an adverse affect on you. Still you bring a smile to your fans, so keep posting. your garden is fabulous. As always you and your family stay well, and thanks for posting.

[@garys628]

Graeme. that waistcoat would make a good pot of soup. 😂. get the stove on again

[@mariafongoul]

Hi Graeme, Did you say clean your fishing line? Is that just on your fly rod or on all your rods?

[@TAFishing]

Fly line. Its goes on the ground every time you retrieve so is going to get covered in dirt at so stage,so wipe with a clean cloth before storing away.

[@matthewtanner9823]

It's a lovely bird the Red Kite but I was talking to a chap yesterday and like he pointed out to me "It isn't natural to see 14 of them hovering around your house all at the same time" This is in Mid Wales (We have a feeding station nearby, I've seen between 100-150 circling there at feeding time). They've also pushed the Buzzard out which is probably why you see more Buzzard in Southern England these days. Someone please tell the so called experts "You have to think of other species before you reintroduce another".

[@TAFishing]

Probably right,just think of the Otter damage. I have filmed at the Wales feeding station and the Crows/Rooks swarm in first,then the Kites,which were like confetti. Even down South here there are Kites all over. I hope to put a film up shortly when my field outside was cut for hay and they came from everywhere,never seen so many at my place. Guess they learn to follow the tractors.

[@matthewtanner9823]

@@TAFishing Yes, the kites will follow tractors. Earthworms are also a part of their diet so they get the worms which come up after the vibrations of the tractor disturbes them. There's also mice left unprotected because of the grass being cut or taken off of them as it's turned. The otter have caused chaos here. They completely stripped my one mile stretch of the Ithon. It used to be a good chub river. Not any more! and when I told the EA, all they said was "It's not in an otter's interests to completely wipe out it's own food source" (Yeh right!). I told them to come and see for themselves but they wouldn't. I fish the Wye where you do at Hereford and have seen chub and Barbel caught missing fins etc. I warned that this was going to happen on the fishing Forums back in 2012 but just got laughed at and ridiculed.

[@bsa5650]

Graeme would love to see you do some fly tying perhaps some pike flies and fish with them

[@TAFishing]

I thought for a second your comment said "would love to see you do some fly tipping !!!!"...Must be that last red wine blurring my vision.

[@andrewpartington8642]

That's how I read it too haha

[@bogdankowal3442]

looks like you"re time in a chain gang came in handy.

[@TAFishing]

Yeah..managed to break away..they got the hounds on me but not caught yet,I think its the smell of the flyfishing waistcoat that's thrown them off the scent.

[@bogdankowal3442]

The wife must be happy getting the honey-do list up to date.

[@rokhnroll]

In the UK the Anglers Trust has been lobbying the government about allowing fishing with a phased plan as we tend to be more than 2 meter apart in most scenarios watch this space I suppose...

[@TAFishing]

Forget the 2 metres, I'm happy to be 10 miles out at sea in my boat !!!

[@charliehobbs6811]

I’ve watch a few of your videos now and in your ponds it don’t seem to be eany fish do you have fish in there and if not I personally thing it would be nice to get some after lock down keep up the good work 👍🏽

[@TAFishing]

Had loads,Heron ate all but one so I never bothered to restock.

[@adamheazlett1179]

Go mad tidy up your side fence keep you busy till smoko and coast the rest of the day. After her indoors scones sorry Graeme do not work the mix to much or they will not be nice and fluffy.I hope your strawberries are ripe for the jam and a Jersey cow for the cream

We all read the story. It was just a matter of time for Romeo & Juliet. Maybe you could tie a few fly patterns on film for us . I'd be shocked if you don't have a fly vice. Smith out.

[@dave-ux1iu]

thanks so funny.

[@martindorrance8133]

Graeme, what part of the uk are you? You seem to be very dry in your area.

[@TAFishing]

Hampshire..Mike is down in Somerset,just a couple of Counties further West but does seem to get more rain which runs over the West Country etc. I think we get drier because of the influence of Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire which is high...Think of the old saying.."The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain"...It must be a saying from olden times about rain falling on higher plains.

[@martindorrance8133]

Interesting. Thanks for getting back. Only a few months ago we were suffering the floods in Worcestershire just before lockdown.

[@Ilie1982___]

Hi Graeme, can you do me a massive favour and give a shout out to "Little Sharon Brooks" from Northumberland please? She's only been sea fishing a couple of years but she's gone from piers and jetties to boats and the little lass is damned good on a boat or a pier etc. She's got serious cabin fever and she's missing putting us guys to shame so a shout for her would cheer her up :)
