Fishing with the Experts: Fishing for Trout - Bank Fishing

Today, John Horsey demonstrates how to catch trout, bank fishing at Bristol Water's Blagdon Lake. Not from the bank in the literal meaning of the word, but rather up to his thighs in the margins! John is a professional trout fishing guide who spends most of his time either here on Blagdon Lake, or alternatively at Chew Valley Lake. His knowledge of the water is second to none; this coupled with his extensive trout fishing experience makes him an obvious choice for an instructional DVD. In this programme, John will show us various techniques for catching trout, using floating and sunk line tactics. He will be using all sorts of flies, from dry fly to nymphs and from buzzers and lures. There's even a section that demonstrates just how effective the innovative lure, known as the BOOBY can be. From tackle to etymology, John explains it all and he clearly demonstrates that trout can be caught from the bank, just as well as from a boat. Presented by John Horsey
