It is so great to see Bob and know he is content with everything he has accomplished in fishing. A Passion For Angling is without a doubt the greatest fishing programme ever. Every episode was incredible and both Bob and Chris were a superb duo. There will never be another like APFA but if would be good to see both Bob and Chris return to the old venues and see how they have changed in the intervening 30 years or so. Life is too short and fishing is far too important so we should all seize the day. A bucket list simply means completing a multitude of once in a lifetime dreams before you literally kick the bucket.

Great interview with Bob, I'm pretty sure I know roughly the area he fishes, lovely part of the county

@@RobertMCGAULEY I do consider myself very lucky to live around here, I go walking by the wye quite often. My memory as a kid on thr farm was talking to an angler who had a bag full of eels one evening, I'm not sure if that was his target species or not, and also salmon fishermen used to turn up on the bank, it was private land but we didn't mind. I'm biased but the wye Valley is stunning. And of course the famous redmire is in this county too

Does anyone remember a fishing programme that was broadcast on a Saturday morning around 1970. It was introduced by a heavily built gentleman with an Edwardian style beard. I can see his face but can't remember the name. As a very small boy it started me off on my fishing journey to lakes and rivers, near and far.

I would love to see Bob and Chris fishing together again, but I’m not even sure they are still friends. I believe both families were really close until another lady caught Bob’s eye, more easily than a trout gobbles up a juicy nymph……lol! Anyway, rumour has it Chris wasn’t too impressed about that back in the day. But, as you get older, and the currents erode away your immediate pain, eventually in life you may reach calmer waters and look back up the stream in retrospective reflection and laugh at yourself. Laugh at how foolish you were in the heat of youth. And two old boys reflecting on life, watching a float Bob down a stream whilst sharing hilarious legends and anecdotes, would seem a nice antidote to today’s mindless hustle and bustle.

He is talking about the secret estate lake that once housed the monster carp Harry and maybe going back sometime. The estate lies in Wimborne St Giles, at that time 30 years ago very much a secret and not open to the general public. The story of the - then - Earl is actually quite a sad story, but luckily now his son has restored the estate to its former glory. Bob must know that the lake (completetly overgrown and silted) was dredged a number of years ago and the foliage was cut back. The fish that were there in 1992-1993 are long gone.
