OK someone help me out here. A long time ago before I started fly fishing I seem to remember a programme on the telly where some bloke was wandering around the UK searching for fly waters. One episode he was in the middle of London searching out some real grotty places to try and catch a trout.
Any ideas who he was what the programme was and if there is a DVD film around anywhere
Thanks in advance
Frank

Bloke's name is Charles Rangely Wilson. He is currently the president of the Wild Trout Trust The Wild Trout Trust and was the first president and founding member of what was originally the Wild Trout Society (later to achieve full charitable status and become the WTT).

Projects like the Wandle Trust in Greater London (Reg. Charity No. 1091000 — The Wandle Trust) as well as Charles' TV programme and book chapter "London Trout" were included in the basis of the successful funding bid for my own project, Trout in the Town which helps local people adopt and look after their local urban rivers.

My project blog for Trout in the Town is here: Trout in the Town and Charles' website address is Welcome to My Site ...

Digital TV channel "Dave" has repeated the accidental angler series (I think slightly shortened from the original BBC episodes) but I don't think it is available on DVD.

Here is the current content on "Dave" website: http://uktv.co.uk/dave/series/tvseries/247189

He is also a member on here, username Accidental.

Fantastically (is that a word?) rapid response. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled on the telly then
Thanks to you all
Paul G.... I'm taking a look at your blog as we live near a small river that I may like to get the schools interested in looking after it
Cheers

Sorry just seen this has already been posted above

Ace, you can email me on pgaskell@wildtrout.org for any support (note the lack of a "dot" between "p" and "gaskell" in the email address - it often catches people out and their emails disappear into the ether.....)
