Have loved this pastime of ours for nearly 50 years now but no matter what anybody says it just isn’t like it used to be. This video superbly portrays those days gone by where the fauna was untouched, the stock was unknown, fish didn’t have names and you could fish simply and effectively undisturbed by other anglers. It really did feel like you had your own lake at times. Halcyon days recreated. Well done Alan and Nash 👏👏

Only 15 min in and this is my favourite Alan film, genuine carpfishing right here

That segment with Vivaldi Summer is absolutely stunning. Thats a job extremely well done by the editor!

This is one of my favourite Nash films to date! Incredible story of an incredible lake 🎣👏

Those pinpoint sun rays through the trees shining on Alan was everything. Extremely jealous of this venue with the diverse wildlife, Stunningly captured guys 👏

The amount of time and effort that goes into these videos is unreal, no other like it, big up Alan and the team 🔥

Whoever filmed and edited this ,did an incredible job doing so👏🏻 Alan cracked into a little piece of heaven and delivered once again another banging video

This feels like a Terry Hearn film. And I mean that as a massive compliment. The way Alan tells the story and the incredible videography. Best Nash film to date. Big ups Alan, Dan and Sam incredible work 🎣🏆

I've always had a view that for me, true art induces emotions deep down within me whilst the other stuff expresses emotions - I think it's easiest explained with music - songs you like the first time you hear them but get bored of quickly and the songs that grow on you so you can never get enough of them. I get this with pictures, with words, with film - that little thing that creates a spark in my heart, creating true meaning - true art. This film induced emotion with me - bundles of it! Excitement from exploring the unknown, jealousy from wanting to be there myself, happiness from seeing Alan's passion & listening to the birdsong (fuck that makes me homesick - maybe more jealousy), the apprehension of watching the orange float tips sitting in the water amongst the lily pads - through to the sadness of seeing the otters for the first time. I actually had to stop watching a couple of times to catch my breath. Well done Alan & Dan. Best film since the first Redmire trip IMO. it may sound like false hope but I want to assure you that carp can survive with otters around them - we have thousands of lakes & rivers here in Ontario where they live side by side - the balance may be swinging towards otters in the UK at present but it will swing back in time, I have no doubt about that. keep up the good work guys & thankyou

Incredible film, Alan tells a story like no other and you can really feel his passion and emotion towards fishing. My favourite Nash video to date this one, unbelievable ❤️

Alan’s best film for sure! better than any Euro/Urban Banx. Well done to Dan and the media team

Best video yet Alan. Cheers for a nice 58 mins on a dull evening

What a wonderful film. Nash films are the only ones i feel compelled to comment on for many reasons . Well done to Alan for being , un ashamedly , an angler , not just a carp fisherman. These days , and im sure its because its where the money is, its all carp carp carp so who can blame the manufacturers for concentrating on that so applause for Nash for this project. The money could easily have been spent elsewhere yet more views than subscribers so excellent. Brilliant to see John Bailey on film. I had the best days fishing of my life on a small river nr Worchester many years ago fishing for barbel that he managed. Hopefully some youngsters will see this and realise its ok to like other styles and you dont need 5k plus worth of gear, nike air trainers, dodgy haircuts and tatoos to enjoy being outside.

What a peace of ART!! fair play boys ! You don't Half create movies that stir emotions and inspire massive thank you.

Wow Alan and team! Loved this video so much reminded me of a passion for angling series, I know 99% of anglers would know of the amazing cinematography and music that it had and this definitely bought back memories of watching those series on vhs with my dad over and over again. I think what I’m trying to say is thank you for a great film to spark all those memories. And so close with the edit to those epic episodes! Tight lines and wet nets and thank you again Nash 🎣🎣🎣

"I don't want to be a carp angler I just want to be a fisherman" 👍👍👍. That is what fishing is about.

My farther in law was fishing obsessed. Recently passed 3 months ago not managing to reach his goal of getting our local 32 pound carp. I hope my boys get this for him one day . He watched your videos and thousands of other more. And spent years sat at fishing banks. We even had a carp made out of flowers for him at his funeral. I watched this video thinking of him and knowing how much he would of loved this video. Thank you. X he got to meet Alan and get a picture, this made him very happy. Absolutely magical film x

Perfect no drum and bass or bruv, banger nonsense. Just the true essence of angling. Take a bow Alan and nash

Knew this was coming after Alan's performance at orellana. Couldn't tell how much of the enthusiasm was genuine this time around.

Blown away, great watch, surrounded in mystery and what drives us to do the sport we all love. Not always the catching but the feeling you get being at one with your surroundings. Stepping away from the rat race

It feels so right , the direction Nash are taking . I think it’ll be so good for Nash and people who fish , and fishing in general .

We need a sit down, Angling Trust & Natural England - the Otter debate. There is a full population rewilded now, enoughs enough.

An absolute wort of Art.... X Inspiring to say the least Alan Blair = Legend 👍💯❤️

Capturing the passion for angling vibe loved it. Fecking otters!

25:50 gave me absolute goosebumps man! That is a shot of everything I love about fishing. The beauty of nature, the optimism, the opportunity, the passion. The unknown! Love it Alan! You are the best in the business.

Really enjoyed this one. Alan was at his best and Dan did an awesome job of capturing the magic of the place. Lakes like this are incredibly rare. At the start, Alan talked of how the lake would be in in 50 years time. The sad truth is that is might not exist...

Great video! Really captures the whole experience. It’s a lot like carp fishing in Canada. No records, no info, no names, no weights. Just you and nature, and the future to find out.

Saw many videos from you. But this one...may i say, its what fishing means to me. Thank you!

to date one of best carp videos ive watched ive watched every alan blair video there is defo a dream to meet and fish with him 👌🎣🎣

I wanted to start writing a comment, but I realized that it cannot be described in words. An incredible video with thought and mission. Well, thank you.

First 5 mins and you can see Alan's passion for this style of fishing.nice to see him back at it!

What an beautiful place . Great film .Well done to all involved . Magical

As A Lifetime Carp FISHERMAN In The States, Here In Southern West Virginia, The Otters Are A Very REAL Issue. Completely Shutting Down Various Areas We Carp Fish, As Well As, Trout & Bass. Killer Episode Man. Real Fishing Truly What It's All About.

pure alan blair no nonsense fishing none of the stupidity no daft music just pure alan at his best stalking climbing and trying to unlock the lake thank you very muchly

These films ignite and stir the mind. Alan and Nash your videos inspire me. Please do not stop making your films/video’s no other person or tackle company portrays and conveys the love you and the brand have for fishing. I also would love to see more urban banx and Eurobanx. Keep up the great work Alan. PS recently purchased two 9ft Scopes with the aim of being more mobile 👍🏻

Alan and Nash are on top form here… absolute quality!

An amazing film, best Nash one so far. What a venue and portrays the natural magic of fishing. Up there with the Terry Hearn ones. Well done Alan and the Nash team 👏

Absolutely brilliant, a different side of Alan, John Bailey, legend. Beautifully shot, fantastic watch.

The hole reason I got in to carp fishing was watching Alan's videos you've taught me so much over the years and I can't thank you enough your videos are the most enjoyable are just the easiest to connect with its to easy to lose yourself watching your video's aswell as the team also but this has to one of the best videos so far amazing editing well done guys👏👏👏

Absolutely magical, beautifully filmed, great storytelling, captured the atmosphere perfectly! more content like this please

Alan Blair will go down in the history books! Not an angler on the planet can tell a story like him and literally pull you into the TV screen! A true gent and unbelievable fisherman! Amazing film Nash 👌👌

I got emotional with this one... Amazing work lads! Thank you!

a great and very special moment...... What a pleasure!!!!

Captured the pure essence of fishing. Best film yet alan! Looking forward to part 2

Loved it! The mystery lives on. Hats of to Alan

Great watch keep up the good work you all do at nash 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻

Fab film. Digging up memories of history lessons was a bonus too. 👌🏻

Great watch again. Alan Blairs passion for fishing is inspiring. By far most entertaining angler for me. Such a drive and so down to earth Great film keep the spirit alive 👍🎣👌

Now that's a proper film, very well done. Not just another documented trip but an engaging story, and the " big un" didn't miraculously come at the end🤣. Great effort🎣

Truly captured the magic of fishing… brilliant, simply brilliant

What can I say Alan that's probably the best vid post I've seen from you it just kept pulling you in for more its sad that you won't be going back there I've got a small one near me set on a flat bit of ground on the side of a mountain the carp are not massive but it's peace and quiet in amongst the trees 🎣👊💯

Alan’s properly the best Narrator in the game

I can honestly say that was one of your best films alan from start to finish mate unbelievable fish you had what a lovely place aswell 👌

Yeah you absolutely nailed it. The essence, ya know? Made me wanna go fishing...

The ending was as great as the start stunning carping at its best Alan blair on top form total passion

Alan Blair is by far my most favourite angler to ever grace this earth what a legend and the G.O.A.T of the angling world

From the moment you said "hasn't been touched" that was it, you had me hooked!!!!

Alan what a beautiful beautiful magic video Nash should be so proud of you. You are truly the best ambassador for the sport. I've been carp angling since the eighties and your enthusiasm for sport helps keep me going. Still getting the butterflies in my stomach every time I go. Cheers Alan!!!

This has been simply one of the best Nash videos to date, amazing fishing told through the camera well done all involved !

Being a young angler, Its films like these that seriously give me the urge to uncover hidden gems like these with cracking fish in their waters. Unreal work from Alan and the team once again, gives me real drive and determination to take my angling to different levels. 🎣👏

quality raising the bar once again,great job boys.

Best Nash video to date . Has a real touch of Mr hearn to it . Big well done to Alan great story. And a great place to go fishing 🎣 u found a true gem 💎 wish all the lakes was like that .. 🔥🔥🔥💥💥

Shouts out to the good ole big pit/suntrap etc aye Al! another classic

Love the fact you are a angler, not just a 'carp' angler. Catching tench and bream along the journey amongst the carp. Bravo Alan. If u fancy a bit of barbel and chub fishing drop me a message 😉💪

What a video, what a lake, and what a fisherman...Mega!

Epic,Alan is just amazing,roll on the next part ..

'Everything gotta feed, Everythings gotta live' - You have a way with words Alan, fantastic stuff.

Awesome film Alan. I loved it so much, no wander rig, no product punt and just made me want to get out there and find the next adventure.

Great video, very Terry Hearn like in his story telling. What a venue, great work Nash ❤

A wonderful story, beautifully told. Big props to Alan and all involved 👏👏👏👏

This is one of my favourite carp films to date!!! Well done Alan and nash Fantastic

Definitely the best program Alan's been involved in brilliant

Wow that was special.. love Alan’s passion

Wow. Speechless.

The painted picture at the beginning with the later animations in the film looks mega🙌🏼 There is no one better than Alan to get emotions for carp fishing into a film.🤙🏼

Don't know why, but this beautiful video just brings tears to my eyes. Lovely just absolut lovely.

I'm 1.13 in and I'm already in awe. Like that painting is mental. So detailed 👌

Great to see JB back on camera. He's was my old school teacher in Norwich for a short time. Excellent old school fisherman.

Brilliant story many thanks. Alan Blair, brilliant angler who happens to fish for carp, this film make all his other work that much more authoritative.

Sickdiculus. Absolutely love it. The perfect combination of two artists blended together. Alan & Dan. Two of my favourite people in the world. No joke, the water colours artwork gave it a feeling of Beatrix potter.. which reminds me of that magical bunny rabbit frolicking in the Sun. It has a sense of freedom and passion but wrapped in a production only capable when two very unique people come together. What a beautiful piece of work. One that needs to (will be) watched many times over to spot all the clever avenues explored and manipulated in film. It’s art baby and art that will change anyone’s opinion regardless if they understand fishing or not. It’s a love story, it’s a child’s dream and it’s just lovely. It touches on the cruel cycle of life that they respect but are both obviously touched by with sadness and understanding as do we all. It’s a cruel beautiful world that was here before us and will continue after us. Congratulations. This is a new level even buy Nash standards. Dan & Alan I salute you. Borrowed time? Yes absolutely, should we intervene? No not in my opinion, nature finds away that we could never fully understood and why should we it’s much more powerful than anything we could do. Finally I’m not sure if it was planned or an accident but the soundtrack is pretty much in the same key throughout.. that’s masterful. It’s a mood that rolls you along at a pace that warms you.

Every video with Alan is just amazing

Love Alan his energy and dedication, keep up the amazing work!

Honestly the best film you’ve done in my opinion. Simplicity at its finest ! Wholesome. ❤

A good & very enjoable hours entrtainment. Thanks to all involved. Mega.

This was shot beautifully probably one of my favourite carp films

Loved everything about this film, watched it 3 times now! Just reminds me of how much myself and my boys love fishing. Awsome!

Well done to everyone involved in the making of this stunning film, you should all be very proud of yourselves. The shot of Alan in the fingers of sunlight coming through the trees is up there with the very best 👏👏

Keep content like this coming. Brilliant. No fence . Gunna lose some of these secret gems at somepoint.

Wow 😮 thank you for a great video. Watching Alan over the years seeing that you have not changed and your love for fishing have only increased and the respect you show is amazing LEGEND

waw that a film outstanding as allways...i find in my own fishing when im sat in the dark what would Alan do...go find um and i have on many occasions at strange times of the late morning...thank you once again your a inspiration to us carp anglers and this industry would not be the same without you never stop doing this please ...and to everyone else at nash banging job lads

Speechless, absolutely speechless! One of if not the best Alan Blair film to date, truly mind blowing! Imagine fishing this mega lake ...magical

Brilliant film.... keep up the good work. I love the notion of not knowing what's in there. I fished a really small tap clear shallow pool for 18 month's and only saw the big one on my mat. Taught me a lesson on how elusive carp can be. Congratulations all at Nash.

Ive loved many Nash films but this one really tops it! Fantastic story telling and filming! Amazing work guys 🔥🎣

WOW!! What a superb film, nostalgic, loved it. ❤️

This brought back some memories of what fishing should be.

Now starting my second watch. Awesome film guys, takes me back to lakes/ponds I fished as a kid. No swims, just meadow, open fields and cow parsley. Pure heaven.

What a beautiful video, mr Blair you are a living legend . Hats off to all those involved in the filming what a masterpiece , the standard of filming is second to none , keep up the great work guys

Loved this film, hats off to all involved. The way Alan told that story was truly captivating, What a beautiful place.

Yet again I can only say thank you to Alan and the Nash team for this video. Amazing story telling with the ups and downs we go through as anglers. The adventure of the unknown. I recently started fishing a venue with rumours of big and amazing carp in it as well. Campaigning it this year. Can't wait to see what it holds. This video just motivated me even more to put in the time and effort and documenting every session.

Your truly blessed to fish that lake that's not been battered by anglers well done and great full for sharing your experience with us viewers
