Many thanks for posting. I think I remember this programme from when I was very young watching it on a 12 inch screen. May have been Anglia's "Survival" series or one called "Off the beaten track". Anyway, thanks again.

Amazing to watch a master at work. No bobbin - just thread, feathers and hook. What a shame there was no audio of what he said. Still - thanks for putting this on YouTube.

nice to see a piece of fly fishing history but why did he allways have dirty finger nails ?

[akiwiflier]

Because the man was a worker not pen pusher or toss pot or Hooray Henry

I used this very same technique to snay a trout-pheasant in the gardens of Alnwick Castle this week. The truth is trout there.
