jimdfish Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Bit pony really. I love Wilson, like Hayes an brown, even your man green does it for me but can't seem to get along with tarrant. The whole thing was like an advert. I don't like bowler either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarsdad Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 It's terrible. I never thought I would say it but he's worse than Nobson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGHT SEARCHER Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 It`s a shame John Wilson has retired from doing his TV shows. I was surprised to find that he is 70 years old so good luck to him. I can`t believe he is selling his massive house and two big Lakes. That he has spent 30 years digging out planting trees and stocking the ponds with prize fish. He is selling up and moving abroad but who can blame him.

Tim Kelly Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I quite enjoyed the program. Perfectly inoffensive. John Horsey's product placement was a bit painful, but Tarrent was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penelope Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Nope, I stand by my comment. Last week's effort was a lot better than the Maldives one though. I'll still watch it though.

I will still watch it as well but it is truly worse than Nobson. Even the start annoys me when he says something like "anglers are as happy fishing a muddy inner city canal for gudgeon as they are a Scottish salmon river" - now I love gudgeon, they are one of my favourite fish but who in their right mind if going to choose to fish a canal over a salmon river. Presumably the programme was filmed 15 or so years ago and we only now have it on terrestrial tv as the quality of the film is awful, almost like a VHS home video.

JDog Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Can someone tell me the name of those rather special and rare migratory trout that Tarrant referred to. I believe that they only run into one lough. They are not sea trout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Dollaghan There are a number of different types/sub species of brownies in the UK and Ireland. I think the Irish have the most, with some living in the same Loughs, but occupying different niche habitats.

Penelope Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Sonaghen, Gilleroo and Ferox are the others. Sonaghan feed on fly life in it's various life stages, Gilleroo eat mostly snails and Ferox are cannibalistic predators. Thank you Penelope. That's the one.

Piebob Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Off on a bit of a tangent, but is there a name for trout that I've heard about that start becoming sea trout, but don't ever quite make it to sea? They stay in the brackish water in estuaries. So not really brownies, and not really sea trout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penelope Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) They are. Although they are still a browny, even sea trout are brownies, just an anadromous form. Those may be Slob trout. Edited November 13, 2013 by Penelope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sako751sg Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Last weeks was a decent enough gig,but found the first one hard going.Tarrant is fine but the other fella is fast forwardtastic but will still watch the programme.Personally,couldnt stand Wilson although he had some great episodes and for my kind of fushing Paul Young takes a bit of beating with his salmon,seatroot and broonies.

I couldn't stand Wilson either - too much faffing with the drag to make the fish appear bigger or fight harder. Some fantastic locations. Matt Hayes, Jeremy Wade and my favourite of Yates and his beardy mate (Brownn?) with their pair of blak lab bite alarms were the best.

Penelope Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 His beardy mate is called Bob James. Nicked by the EA last year for out of season Barbel fishing on the Wye for a mag feature, 14th or 15th June I think. Matrin Bowler's 'Catching the Impossible' featuring Bernard Cribbins was good too. The black labs were flatcoats. I couldn't stand Wilson either - too much faffing with the drag to make the fish appear bigger or fight harder. Some fantastic locations.Matt Hayes, Jeremy Wade and my favourite of Yates and his beardy mate (Brownn?) with their pair of blak lab bite alarms were the best. Yes they are.

He used to annoy with holding the fush oot of water for about 5 minutes and then say,right then,lets get this fish straight back? Bob and Chris were pretty good watching too and i seem to remember Bob started porking the others missus and that led to the split i think.
