Just found out the DVD is now available from martinbowler.co.uk

I have no affiliation - I just thought some of you would like to know. IMO it is by far and away the greatest angling film-series ever made... and I ordered it this morning.

Its been available from the Passion for Angling web site for years but only by Cheque or Postal Order. If don't want the hassle of snail mail you can buy PFA and also Catching The Imposable from Johnson Ross Carp Tackle online (very nice people)

Hope that helps

Jumping out of tree's, letting off fireworks, drinking on the backside, saying fish were caught from one lake when they were caught from another - everything that's bad with "modern" angling......

Ripping hooks from an Eels mouth is another fine example of the bad things that gets overlooked

Offering a fish to a dog was something I'd rather not see again.

Always thought that the tone of the conversations was false "put on " as if trying to replicate the excitement of a couple of small schoolchildren.

As far as I am concerned catching the impossible was better by far, the excitement of MB being obviously real.

I have found that the jolly chummy dialogue between the two anglers serves as a very effective emetic....

When we used to have a closed season; Have you never spent an evening on a private water and toasted in the new season with a glass of wine? and let off a firework at midnight on the glorious 16th June?.

Have you never climbed a tree on a private lake to get a better vantage point to look for Carp movements?

Have you never tried to keep the swim that you caught a specimen from becoming known to all and sundry?

Nothing wrong with any of these things surely, especially as it was done on a private water.
