Desert Tench - In the depths of Dungeness
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- The Tench is perhaps the most English of fish. Their connection to country estate lakes is synonymous yet they thrive in more unlikely places if the angler is prepared to seek them out.
Dan has known the shingle expanse of Dungeness for most of his life; his parents owned a pub down the coast at Camber Sands where he grew up. Many years later he heard rumours of mahogany-coloured tench that populate a gravel pit a stone’s throw away from the sea and under the shadow of Dungeness Power Station.
With words inspired by Dan's written piece, as featured in issue 35 of Fallon's Angler magazine, Garrett Fallon reads an ode to this strange yet magical landscape, still considered by some to be Britain’s only desert.
Mean, moody and magnificent. Another stunning little film.
Beautiful. The only fishing-related production I watch on UA-cam, barring another channel which is really nothing like Fallon's. In terms of actual 'films', then Nick FC is the heir to Stan Bréhaut, who filmed Jack Hargreaves' films. So little is made any more, in both literature or media, that actually captures the England that I know. I work so damned hard these days, it's nice to watch something like this when I get a spare few moments; it helps me scheme, and dream about my next adventure.
Perfect antidote to today’s fast pace of life!!Thank you boys!!
Beautiful channel, one of my favorites. I feel the beauty of fishing in a similar way and I try to follow these films as an example. It's truly something beautiful and my sincere congratulations.
Many thanks for your kind words.
Excellent little piece and the music composed was superb. Moody bass lines, I assume a double bass. Maybe another video, set on river with a good chub angler, stalking using splitcane would be great.
Could have called it " A shingle Tench"
What a?fantastic little film, always loved dungeness. It has a raw beauty.
So stark and beautiful, like Dungeness. Fantastic music.
Nicely done, words, images and music....
Nice work, really beautiful script, filming, the whole shebang. Never been to the UK, but here in Oz, by osmosis, it crept in via coarse fishing mags in the sixties that inexplicably found their way into the local post office. Tinca were reputed to be in the creek, but I never caught one. Loved the music with some echos of Eno, The Big Ship in the final score that capped it off beautifully. Many thanks.
This video felt like a cowboy hunting. It’s a very stable, movie-like atmosphere, so it feels like healing. A great video is like a gift. Thank you for your hard work. I hope you win.
Expertly executed, I’ve always associated Dungeness with sea fishing. Nice touch splitcane rod with a Centrepin , classic Mr Crabtree style.
❤ beautiful film, showing the peace and tranquility of angling.
Great little film , poetically captures the Dungeness magic.
Beautiful film.
That Tench scrap, with it's elegant ripples, magic.
Find it boring...like most fallons stuff, looks ok looking for what you want but it's for the split cane silly hat fraternity...not for me.
Another wonderfully enjoyable video! 👏👏😊
Thank you! Cheers!
