[@jeremymanning2132]

My father and I met Bernard on the Hampshire Avon in the early 1970's. He took the time to set up my tackle for me, whilst pointing out a good spot to fish. What a gentleman & legend he was!

I often got in to trouble as a young man with my primitive tackle and my worm .

People several times mention the condition of the Roach. This was quite common in the sixties due to the old waxed/oiled yellow cotton "fin shredders" keep nets. At

bernard venables is a legend.

This is one of a number of mid-1960's films called "Anglers' Corner" all presented by Bernard Venables. If you check out "Anglers' Corner" on here, there are a few more posted including Salmon, Grayling and Trout. Each one was for a different species.

Does anyone know why he doesn’t check/hold the float back in the current as you would nowadays?

[@DocQuince]

I love it but I believe he's trotting for roach not stret pegging ?

"Well the hook is quite small...a size 12" Wow! I'd put a square of luncheon meat on that for a barbel!

Beautiful part of the country Avon and Kennett now a days I fish Yorkshire rivers

[@beardwierd2783]

And not a trout pellet or stew pond grown carp to be seen, proper fishing.

Nothing kills bread fishing quite like nicotine.

Great tv series love the music at the beginning, any idea what it is?

[@pipins3616]

The new modern heroes of angling on here who think they are better fishing, on commercial fisheries, a blind man man with a stick could catch on them venues
