 I was introduced to the works of Falkus (writing, angling ect....) by some of my angling mentors, before leaving the salmon & trout fishery of the Great Lakes where I use to fish. I have herd of "the leaper" years ago, but sadly never had a chance to see it in full.

It's awesome to see it all! What you have done by putting this video up is excellent & I can't thank you enough.

@niallberwick thank you! I've been called a lot of things but that wasn't one of them! Glad you enjoyed.

Thank you. I haven't got Self Portrait and unfortunately have never seen it. I'm not sure if it was ever released on video. I had to convert this to DVD before uploading it. I just had to do it as it is such a wonderful documentary made by an amazing man.

This is an all time classic made by the master. Everyone should be made watch it! Maybe then people would care about salmon and sea trout survival in our own rivers rather than pandas and bloody polar bears!

one of the best fishing series ever made.

Thank you so, so much for uploading this !! Had the indescribable joy of hearing Falkus lecture on migratory fish/fishing back in the 70's (he also signed my copy of Sea Trout Fishing !!), and remember this vividly from it's original showing. Splendid ! I'm 14 again, and waiting for summer dusk on the River Eden...

PS You haven't by any chance also got Self-portrait of a Happy Man, have you ? I'd love to see that again too !!
