Morning all,
I heard about these videos a while back but never got a chance to see them. I have fished all of the weirpools on these videos. They're all on the thames in and around Chertsey to Staines. The river here is like a gigantic chalk stream in summer, crystal clear and full of fish. The view from above the surface is good (you always see fish)However, this view from below is astounding.
If you want to fish these weirs you can by way of hiring the local guide, Mark Anderson. Mark specialises in fly fishing for pike from his boat. However, he loves to fly fish for all coarse species and a day out with him has taught me lots. Charges are around ?150. good value when you consider the time, use of boat etc, not to mention the access to these weir pools, one of which is a private syndicate (the one with all the carp, tench and barble on the film). Mark can be contacted through Orvis's london Store on 0207 4997496.
Cheers
Rich
