Only re discovered these peaceful and fascinating programmes recently..... how wonderful to see them. Jack and many like him are so sadly missed. Thanks Jack and God Bless you for this window into lovely times I remember.
I believe it was Alex's farm that the Signal Crayfish escaped some 40-50 years ago, an invasive species which has devoured absolutely everything in British rivers everywhere across these isles, when there's not a lot else to eat, they eat each other. Wasn't expecting to see that.....
I'm a retired Fish Pathologist in Oregon, and I'd like respectfully recommend what we use pump out the stomach contents of a trout, which is simply called a "trout Stomach Pump" and is sold for about $ 7.00 to $10 U. S.D. which isn't bad at all and lasts a lifetime or more!! Thank you for the Great video 😊
I wonder what Jack would make of the damage caused to the ecosystems of many of the rivers by those very signal crayfish? So much for their breeding to be a difficult art!
@@therighthonsirdoug They were replaced in the food web. The impact is minimal. I remember years ago as part of a conservation job I moved a lot of native crays from the Caldon canal to some enclosed waterways. They are still there. The native crays lost out of course but the damage to the environment is minimal. The various crab species are worse. The reality is this. Once an invasive is in an environment it is here to stay. The environment adapts.
@@therighthonsirdoug Uneducated bankers abound. You want peer reviewed papers ? Or are you happy just sticking to the Sun and The Daily sidebar of shame.? I mean if you wanted to stop being an uneducated banker I could help you. Otherwise, well... one, two, you know what to do.... This is biology btw not environ..mental...ism. You know, actual science. Reading papers that you wouldn't even understand let alone seek out. So yeah the world according to nospoon. At least I see it you dumb whelk. Shouldn't you be out waving a little flag somewhere?
Correct! But I've always wondered why spoon it if you've caught it? The idea being I know is to decide what imitation to use in order to catch the fish. If you've already caught one you must be doing something right! What's the point?
Spooning a live fish , for Gods' sake. Anyone who does this should be barred from ever fishing again. Failing that, should have a hedgehog rammed up hi rectum. un-lubricated !

It looks like Jack is using a Garcia Mitchell 710, a lovely piece of kit!
His name is Barry Welham
Excellent video
Great little video; thanks for posting this clip, which had been taken down by someone trying to sell DVDs...
That wasn't very nice
Pet fish even in those days know its pet carp! Wild fish for me!

They don't cause that much damage. I liked his views on the Rabbit plague, Jack was spot on.
@@nospoon4799 so what happened to our native species?

@@nospoon4799 🤣🤣🤣 yeah thanks for that! Environmentalism according to @NoSpoon: fuck 'em all!

You do not spoon live fish!

Different times!

Seems to have a look of joyful glee when he's bashing that trouts head in.. & fish sharing isn't sporting 😕😕😕
Nonsense
It is not always sport friend i fish share with many young or new anglers.
