Martin believes that attempting to make the series today would be madness and it took us more than four years when it was possible.

IMPOSSIBLE HUGH MILES - WILDLIFE ADVENTURES: CATCHING THE IMPOSSIBLE

The Avon Roach Project is going from strength to strength, and I helped Trevor Harrop and keeper Pete Orchard prepare the pools at Longford for the protection of the previous years fry. Nothing is impossible of course, and if you are a specimen angler, maybe you too will rise to the challenge and see how many of our “impossibles” you can catch each year. There has always been an enthusiastic audience for British wildlife so what better than to show them something they’d never seen. We’re beginning to get to grips with this new challenge and the results are fascinating, in fact I almost enjoy filming fish as much as catching them - but not quite ! Though I didn't blank, I didn't get the two pounder that I hoped for and a few days later; despite getting a 5/4 chub on the pole, I blanked on the final day.I made up for these failures by catching a three pounder for the Anglers Mail during a thoroughly enjoyable couple of days at Linch Hill with friend Gary Newman. I rarely watch it now but when I do, I feel it would still be enjoyed by big audiences, especially given the success of the Mortimer and Whitehouse series on the Beeb which had less substance and fishing. Now in it’s third year, Trevor, Pete Orchard and I recently completed the ponds into which last years ‘babies’ have been released for growing on ….

From the library of Barrie Rickards, given as a review copy, with a note to him from the publisherVery good in slightly used dust-wrapper. The book of the series by Martin and I is a full account of our adventures and will also be available in October/November 2008. But with Martin’s advice and deadly rig, I managed a couple of good barbel, though he wouldn’t give me ten pounds for the largest.We also sell a wide range of refurbished Mobile Phones and Tech from major brands like Apple, Samsung, Sony, Microsoft and much more. Co-star Bernard Cribbins was hoping to join us for our annual ‘fish-in’ but is so busy with BBC radio and TV series that he couldn’t make it this year.

Please note that we have no direct relationship with sellers and as such offer no guarantees for products or listings. Our aim was to raise the profile of angling and Britain’s freshwater fish and if we succeeded, it would help to highlight the many problems facing our fish. Chris Yates and I were asked by Kev Green to catch some big crucians for “Improve Your Course Fishing” and we had a thoroughly enjoyable day, partly because we both caught crucians to 2lbs 12ozs. Our star angler and close friend Martin Bowler is getting busier by the day and he and wife Jo are making films, writing books and articles, blogging, facebooking etc.They are also ranging far and wide for food, raiding valuable carp fisheries and even garden ponds - like ours! Filming for over five years while trying to catch our “impossible” sized fish was challenging, but the enjoyment we had and the kindness and generosity shown us by the many land-owners, bailiffs and angling friends was remarkable.
