Jim,

 I seen this advertised last week and the trailer looked very interesting BUT I was speaking to a guy at work and he says that BBC Alba is not for the likes of me with cooncil TV  :mad

If this is the case then BBC please don't show the trailer on MY TV - you monkeys!

Countryfile had an interesting bit on the effects of human waste on fish. Not only is "the pill" taking effect on fish reproduction, but the combination of chemicals from all sorts of human waste is causing a chemical block to reproduction.

All rather scary as the Water Authorities say its nowt to do with them. However, this issue is affecting other animals that eat the fish such as Otters, Mink, Kingfishers, Herons..and yip...us!

It is going to be repeated on ITV later this year, so you will be able to see it on council TV then.

Hi all,
          Watched it last night , not too bad at all. Nice touch having a salmon flyfisherwoman as the host . She could spey cast better than most of her man freinds too.

Then watched Robson Green. Oh dear , what a contrast .

HI Harri,
             Yep, the BBC have a block on this for some reason . Drives my eldest son mad in America when he can't pick up on the Aberdeen football games !! :cry

I think someone said that they might be repeated on terrestrial TV. I wouldn't worry too much .The program was good but hardly earth shattering . Usual kind of salmon fly fishing footage that we,ve all seen before and definitely could have benefited from a bit more Scottish scenery,  in my opinion anyway.

Hiyah Paul

I was just curious about the waters they were fishing, to se what they look like.
Anyway, I am not a salmon fisher, but there might swim big trout’s, to dream about.  :wink
