'No Blacks, No Dogs, No Fishing'

[@ifsobczwhy]

Jesus Tim, how you're not being hit up left right and centre by agencies I''ll never know. Dude, what a documentary! You're a great story teller. Mad respect mate, I hope you're well.

[@flyfishinglondoner]

Many thanks, those batteries you bought definitely helped out! On to the next one.

[@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker]

Great job on this, such an important topic to cover and you did a great job. Really loved it! You should submit this to the fly fishing festival circuit.

[@ifsobczwhy]

And every indie film festival, deserves a place on a big screen! Couldn't agree more.

[@flyfishinglondoner]

I will be entering it into a competition or two that's for sure. It was a long an involved process but the results are very satisfying.

[@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker]

@@flyfishinglondoner some festivals dont like having it out being shown before they get their hands on it, you may need to unlist it during the application process

[@flyfishinglondoner]

@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker Very true, I'll likely just leave it here then.

[@josephbossley2599]

Thank you for representing and educating through another beautifully crafted video.

[@flyfishinglondoner]

This was a real labour of love and I'm very happy with the results and humbled by the warm reception it has received.

[@WCFLYFISH]

Never thought id watch a video which was insightful and thought provoking even though i was part of it 😂 Well done Tim amazing amazing video!

[@flyfishinglondoner]

Many thanks for featuring, see you tomorrow hopefully.

[@thefishermansfriend2622]

Tim this is fantastic, thank you. Well done to all involved. I think it’s great that we in the outdoor pursuits community are having this conversation. Something I noticed which is really interesting to me is the difference in body language and tone when my fellow contributors and I go from speaking about how we first got in to angling or came to be in the UK to speaking about our experiences of racism. It’s a sensitive subject but an essential one, so bravo to everybody that’s put themselves out there to discuss it.

[@JOSHWANTIE]

This was a masterpiece👌🏻 big ups tim and all those involved 🙌🏼

[@flyfishinglondoner]

Many thanks Josh, much appreciated.

[@liamwild666]

Very insightful Tim, thank you. Not even close to being the same, but my Mum taught me to fish in the seventies and we did get some strange looks, me mum and my brother. I can't even imagine. I hope and believe that the brotherhood of fishing transcends all barriers. Keep doing your thing. Thanks again.

[@flyfishinglondoner]

Thanks for checking it out, I really enjoyed putting it together.

[@justinschoon1359]

Super cool documentary. Really elegantly done and captures the stories of everyone who features in it perfectly. Loved it mate!

[@flyfishinglondoner]

The video wouldn't have been possible without the people involved. The work done by a couple of people was for free and would have costs thousands!

[@StevenMurgatroyd]

Tim, this is fantastic, original work, a story that needed telling, brilliantly told…

[@flyfishinglondoner]

Many thanks Steven for watching. It was a real labour of love and thoroughly enjoyable.

[@DamonValentineFlyFishing]

Well done Tim. This is so well done mate. Congratulations to you and everyone involved on such a great documentary ❤

[@domgarnettfishing]

A piece of work like this is long overdue. Great work and a stimulating film, Tim. What I love best is the shared passion- at heart, we are all into angling for the same reasons. It's only prejudice that could convince us otherwise. Still some way to go, but what an inspiring group of people you tracked down.

[@flyfishinglondoner]

Many thanks Dom, your kind words really do mean a lot. It was a labour of love.

[@kennyv.7247]

I came for the tales of fishing, and stayed because I was enamored with the wonderful people that you were interviewing. Thank you for a stunning look into the other side of the pond. Absolutely compelling. I will be back.

Excellent film, thank you for making and sharing it.

[@rosstones8820]

Amazing and necessary film!

[@knowthyself5647]

Beautiful video. Thank you for making and sharing. Nearly brought a tear to my eye. As a person of colour and a keen fisherman, ecologist, I can relate to big time. A thinking angler is a successful angler (Isaac Walton).

[@flyfishinglondoner]

Many thanks for watching. I've been getting good feedback from people of colour over in Europe. It's my most meaningful piece of work yet.

[@robinc4486]

Lovely film Tim, really insightful and well made.

[@Nick-01536]

I've been coarse fishing on and off now for nearly 50yrs. I can honestly say that I have never seen or met a black,indian,Asian fisherman or lady on the bank. Angling is a sport for all,regardless of race,age,gender and disability etc.... This is the best fishing based video I've seen in a long time 👍👍👍

[@TJC020]

What an important film Tim , can feel how much work you've put in to this.

[@FirstCastTV]

❤ Beautiful storytelling.

[@andrewchatterley7877]

Another great video, much respect and love to all these people in the film, fishing and the countryside is for everyone

[@solitude-films]

Excellent piece of work Tim, groundbreaking and refreshing. This needs to be shared around all communities… educate and hopefully get a few new anglers of colour on the bank.

[@flyfishinglondoner]

My tasks now is to begin to promote it outside of the fishing world, in fact one reason I chose the topic was to broaden the appeal of my channel.

[@PegasusBridge1]

Great film, nice to see the love of fishing making bridges between communities. Anglers in general are a welcoming bunch (aside from some specimen anglers chasing big fish - they won’t give anyone the time of day 😂😂😂) 🎣🎣

[@georgelight123]

Great documentary Tim.

[@flyfishinglondoner]

Thanks for watching it George... I should have studied something in the creative arts in hindsight!

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Outstanding work Tim!

[@brosi]

Great job you did here. Fishing is for everyone ❤

[@philglasgow5815]

Fabulous piece. How do we create more opportunities?

[@flyfishinglondoner]

I'm not sure we need to do anything in particular. But seeing a reflection of yourself in anything is a good start. So seeing more anglers of colour in magazines, adverts and within companies would be ideal - which you're seeing in the US flyfishing scene.

[@MUFC399]

What a brilliant documentary that was. Fishing is for everyone ❤

[@noblestsavage1742]

back in the 80's in my village where i used to sea fish there was a black guy who was a regular on the rocks with the rest of us. i never knew his real name but he was imaginatively nicknamed 'Chalky' by everyone. I realise that name might be seen as discriminatory these days but no malice was meant, he was a popular guy. This is a fantastic and thought provoking film.

[@adventuretimefishinghunting]

This was fantastic!!! Great job! My favorite thing about fishing is the fish,the river nature doesn't care about your background! It just is! It's you, nature, and the fish!

[@graemeedwards2476]

Great job. Nice to see a different angle of angling. You could delve more into the why, rather than the how. Slick film.

[@antoinerougier6693]

Well done, great documentary!

[@robertstanger258]

What a wicked documentary, we need to talk

[@SouthsideFlyFishing]

This is a really important film, Tim. Thank you for shining a light on issues of race and ethnicity in the fishing community. Hearing the stories of all of the anglers in the video was especially impactful. Hopefully a great many white anglers, like myself, will watch this film and feel motivated to be better allies. It's also a beautifully made film that must have taken you many many hours to create. Very well done!

[@flyfishinglondoner]

Your comments are much appreciated and coming from a peer mean a lot. Where I go from here I have no idea! ha

[@adriant335]

Your best yet Tim … anyone who wants to meet up and fish in the Elan Valley just let me know !

[@flyfishinglondoner]

Not sure where to go here!

[@Gach254]

Love this.. this is not a black or white thing but a poor v rich thing. Poor people have too many loose ends to tie up and can’t even think of hobbies- even here in Kenya- poor people are trapped in the city and they get sucked in but the rich people make money and leave. We have forest where you find rich people jogging and they have dogs etc.. Poor people are too busy working or hustling because that’s how the Matrix works

[@paddydoyle4234]

Is this so rural areas in the uk can also become crime ridden ghettos to?

[@domgarnettfishing]

Ghettos are about deprivation, not what colour skin people have!

[@paddydoyle4234]

@@domgarnettfishing but the areas in the uk with the highest murder rates are of what demographic?

If you'd bothered to actually do some research you'd find out that the county of Cleveland has the UK's murder rate!
