Description

Series Two special guest Rob Ward says, ‘There’s no fish in’t beck’.  The sad recent demise of brown trout in Upper Wensleydale prompts a diversion from dialect into fishing.   Three more voices from 1977 are heard: Fred Nuttall recounts the formation of Hawes and High Abbotside Angling Association; Jessie Blades speaks of her family’s fame at fly dressing and their work as bailiffs; and Chris Heseltine talks vividly about grobbling (tickling) trout.  Presented by Andrew Fagg from the River Ure, Hawes Bridge and Gayle Beck, this episode was published on Friday 20 January 2023.
