Vintage Upstream Wet Fly Fishing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- Former Appletreewick, Barden and Burnsall Angling Club president Hebert Normington fishing the traditional upstream wet flies on the Kilnsey Angling Club waters of the River Wharfe. The footage was taken from Anglers Corner presented by Bernard Venables. Not only does it show the delicate and sophisticated upstream wet technique, but also the blinkered and pompous attitude of the southern chalk-stream stockie bashers.

Nice one Robert, thanks for sharing. Reminds me if there were a Time Machine, I would probably go back in time.
Enjoyed that look back in time, thanks for posting.
My pleasure
Lovely bit of film. Thank you 👍
Glad you enjoyed it.
Brilliant stuff
Glad you liked it.
@@thedalesangler I remember watching these about 37years ago on VHS tape which I hired out from a video store these angler's were the grand masters of fishing thanks again for sharing
Great video and the comments below are as entertaining as the discussion in the video
In a way, it's reassuring that dry fly anglers have been looking down on those of us who fish wet for many decades at least. Their current disdain for us is not new; it's just the way it's always been (and probably will continue long after all of us are gone).
Their loss is our gain!
What a joy to watch Robert. I particularly enjoyed the gentleman's disagreement over Wet and Dry fly fishing. I still have my original late 50's copy of Mr Crabtree goes fishing. I seemed to recognise some of the river scenery which looked similar to that which Ollie Edwards fished in his DVD's. May I ask whilst I'm writing, could you perhaps demonstrate the Yorkshire Greenwell that appears in your excellent book sometime. Once again, thank you for posting
Wet fly fishing will always be my number 1
Awesome movie, Mr. Smith. Awesome the flies, the place, even the never ending debate, I often wonder what they would have thought of the French NAF or NAV, or euro euronymphing or similar. Many fishermen do not consider at all of being philological to the most ancient angling sport, its literature, the studies, what is beyond the simple catching of a fish.
Many, many thanks.
Wander what year this film was made
Everything is harder up North
Great timing with this video Robert, just tying up some NC wets though more in readiness for next season seeing as the rivers re high. Thank you for sharing.
If it rains anymore i think I will be getting webbed feet!
Cool! :)
Thank you so much for posting that. I wonder what Bernard and his guest would have made of Czech and Euro style nymphing,
I’d say they would hate it. Well for a start it’s not fly fishing
@@davidgregg8757it’s exactly fly fishing what you talking about
@@AlwaysOneMoreNothing wrong with it, if you’re that desperate to catch fish.😊
Think they would be turning in their graves. Euro nymphing is for people who can’t cast and only want to catch fish at any cost.
Brilliant…. Haven’t seen that particular episode for years…… any more of these gems Robert??
Cheers
Dave
Very interesting video! Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful. I wish I had been born posh in the 1940's
Let us all be manipulators of tackle - wet or dry.
Just try both…it’s all fun. I have been fly fishing the majority of my life and have never encountered any prejudice one way or the other.
streamers too, lol good fishing
No catch and release back then..
Classic.
Since the time of Skues dry fly fishermen have been jerks I guess. Really cool old movie.
Snobbery among anglers.....always tong in cheek😂😂. I wonder what he would of made of a Euro mop fly....
Wind the clock back.
