Mortimer and Whitehouse.

 First time I've tuned in. Worth a watch if you've never seen it. Bob steals the show for me. Whitehouse is a bit bossy for me.

Paul Whitehouse is the  experienced angler. Bob is the novice and he plays up to that. Paul is intense and takes it seriously. I just about wet myself when Bob whacks a ghillie  over the head with his rod. 

Paul lies to think he's a great caster but like everything in sport , it's all about levels. He's not really that great tbh. When fly fishing ,either spey or overhead , the rod should stop abruptly at around a gradient of two o clock. Paul stops the rod at 5 o clock, so he loses a lot of tension/ spring in the rod.

I love the scenery, the chat and the music more than the fishing. Good programme, especially if you are over a   certain age.

When fly fishing ,either spey or overhead , the rod should stop abruptly at around a gradient of eleven o clock. Paul stops the rod at 3 o clock, so he loses a lot of tension/ spring in the rod.

You still doing much salmon fishing?

Yes but salmon stocks are critically low. They are finished. I don't think they will ever recover.Global warming,pollution,salmon farms where they pick up sea lice,factory trawlers hoovering up everything. My mate caught a sea trout with 27 sea lice on it. It could only have picked that level of infestation  from passing salmon farms. It was lethargic and pitifully thin.

There's too much stacked against them mate.Numbers have not just steadily deteriorated. They have fallen off a cliff. The Environment  Agency is weak,toothless and corrupt. Really sad for future generations.

I give that Bob and Vic reeves a good bollocking in London once because they got in my way on the street when I was clearing a job, they looked most put out when I finished the tirade with “…..and you ain’t f***ing funny anyway you pair of c**ts !” Lol

Seen any of those carp fishing films mate ?……they f***ing do me in ! 
Not that they have any agenda beyond selling people shit they don’t need, but just the general “laddish” nature of them.

Your fishing you f***ing idiots, not having a lads trip away to Magaluf “fella”……f**k me, “Fella” ?…..I could drown those c**ts when they say that.

Yeah I'd agree with that assessment of the salmons future. Sad thing is we now have a mile and a half of previously good salmon and sea trout water attached to our shoot. 

I think the only future is hatcheries but they don't seem to want to

 No, "those in the know", are dead against hatcheries. And opposed to genetic mixing.

 But I went to a presentation by the chap who cleaned up The Tyne and made it one off the best rivers in the country.  He said he had deliberately broken all the rules,  begged and borrowed spawn and hatchlings from any river who would give or sell him them. He said look at the result.. a strong spring summer autumn and winter run. Now one of the few rivers where you could actually expect to,catch a fish . When you point this out to the boffins they simply won't accept it. Like those who were determined to insist the world is flat. I genuinely think its all academic now anyway. Anglers on The Wye reckon salmon will be extinct on their river in 6 years time. The rivers in Scotland  are reporting the lowest catches on record. The Scottish government's  response is 'head in the sand' and to allow more salmon farms. But some countries insist on landlocked salmon farms, the technology exists to build these so they can't possibly infect wild fish with lice, but money talks and the Scottish government is in bed with the chinese markets who buy a lot of farmed salmon,   so armegeddon beckons.
