      I've never heard that phrase before, but how patently true, especially in the case of good old Jack here.
      Entire livelihoods and working knowledge never to be seen or heard again.
      I consider myself so lucky to be born in a gentler, less hectic time - especially as a youngster.

    I shall be out fishing with one of my cane poles today. Admittedly heavier length for length than a carbon version but easily handled once one has mastered the technique. At 19ft, it is by modern standards short and restricts the angler to margin fishing but I doubt it is any heavier or less easy to use than a modern 16 metre version. These films take me straight back to my schooldays, they were essential viewing. Thanks so much for posting them.

    Jack introduced me to fishing through these wonderful episodes 50+ years ago. I would have been only five when I started watching these. Used to watch them every weekend when they were on or later repeated. Such an influential man. I have nothing but respect for his quiet manner and balanced opinion. But given his background and knowledge, I doubt many then or now could hold a light to him. The second part is just as good, and I first learned about the Huntaway dog through him. Like many subjects, for me he was the authority. Miss him so very much, and quite quickly the albums of the series were no longer available. I do have two of his books, which give me much pleasure to read.
    I shall say it again, thank you for sharing these wonderfula nd still relevant videos.

      It doesn't have to be like that with pole fishing.. I have poles but no longer than 8.5 mtrs which means you probably use 4 sections at the most but usually 3 is enough for me. Some match anglers have 16 mtr poles and they can reach to an island from the bank. But then you need to have a lot of room behind you to ship it back.And as you say it can be a palaver. The great thing about pole fishing is the accuracy of where you can place your bait. You lower it in exactly where you want it. Much more accurate than casting a float. My favourite type of fishing is rod/reel/float but I pole fish often.
