Former Appletreewick, Barden and Burnsall Angling Club president Hebert Normington fishing the traditional upstream wet flies on the Kilnsey Angling Club waters of the River Wharfe. The footage was taken from Anglers Corner presented by Bernard Venables. Not only does it show the delicate and sophisticated upstream wet technique, but also the blinkered and pompous attitude of the southern chalk-stream stockie bashers.

In a way, it's reassuring that dry fly anglers have been looking down on those of us who fish wet for many decades at least. Their current disdain for us is not new; it's just the way it's always been (and probably will continue long after all of us are gone).

Nice one Robert, thanks for sharing. Reminds me if there were a Time Machine, I would probably go back in time.

Awesome movie, Mr. Smith. Awesome the flies, the place, even the never ending debate, I often wonder what they would have thought of the French NAF or NAV, or euro euronymphing or similar. Many fishermen do not consider at all of being philological to the most ancient angling sport, its literature, the studies, what is beyond the simple catching of a fish. Many, many thanks.

What a joy to watch Robert. I particularly enjoyed the gentleman's disagreement over Wet and Dry fly fishing. I still have my original late 50's copy of Mr Crabtree goes fishing. I seemed to recognise some of the river scenery which looked similar to that which Ollie Edwards fished in his DVD's. May I ask whilst I'm writing, could you perhaps demonstrate the Yorkshire Greenwell that appears in your excellent book sometime. Once again, thank you for posting

Great timing with this video Robert, just tying up some NC wets though more in readiness for next season seeing as the rivers re high. Thank you for sharing.

Think they would be turning in their graves. Euro nymphing is for people who can’t cast and only want to catch fish at any cost.
