A tour of the beautiful Refugio Amazonas lodge in the Tambopata Reserve in Peru. A part of the Amazon, this resort is situated in the most bio-diverse area in the world. The lodge is green and made of local materials. Electricity by generators is only available for a few hours per day, there is no hot water, and there is an emphasis on low impact tourism. The rooms are open-air facing the jungle, with large rooms but only curtains for doors. The resort has a multitude of activities in the jungle (canopy viewing, blind viewing, tree climbing, fishing, jungle treks, etc) and is very remote. When the lanterns are turned off at night, it is pitch black. An awesome experience in the Amazon! Shot in August 2010

Fishing with the Experts – For Pike with Mick Brown

No Comments


For many years, fishing for pike was considered only as a seasonal option. Not now! When carp and coarse fishermen are waiting anxiously for the arrival of spring, the intrepid angler in need of winter action has a serious predator to consider. In this program we’re going to join Mick Brown, considered one of the best pike anglers in the UK. Mick explains the tackle he’ll be using and shows us some of his massive array of artificial lures. Firstly he’ll demonstrate his skills in the comparative comfort of the early summer months, landing pike from a secluded estate lake. Dead baits and exciting lure fishing are the order of the day. With the passing of the seasons, we join Mick on the snow covered banks of a gravel pit in the depths of East Anglia, where we learn the tactics needed to entice pike in pristine condition to take float fished or ledgered dead baits. Then we’ll move on to the river and during a blizzard…learn from Mick how to catch pike from an anchored boat using the live bait method. To finish off we briefly meet up with that other extraordinary species Des Taylor, as he successfully hunts for the elusive twenty pounder! Mick Brown and then Des Taylor in the same keep net? What a catch! Introduction by Liam Dale.

Fishing with the Experts – For Carp with Des Taylor

For many anglers the ultimate fish in British waters is the carp. In only twenty or so years we’ve seen this species capture the imagination of at least a million anglers and the carp have responded to a mass influx of food by just getting bigger and bigger. In 2001 the British Carp Record was over 59 lbs… the same fish has been caught again recently and now weighs a staggering 61 lbs. How long can this retain the British title? The goal of most fanatical carp anglers is the capture of a 30 lbs specimen in British waters, in this program we will see that other extraordinary species Des Taylor do just that… twice! Des is one of the most entertaining and informative presenters in today’s angling world and certainly is one of the better journalists. He demonstrates excellently the beauty of simplicity… landing all his fish on the simplest of rigs. Des really knows his stuff and after watching him… hopefully you’ll know his stuff too! In this DVD, Des imparts an abundance of essential information; which if put into practice on the right fishery, will definitely help you to achieve…or even exceed your angling goals. Whether you’re an expert or a novice, there’s something here for everyone. Firstly though, to whet your appetite; see the founding father of modern carping Kevin Maddocks in action at Ringstead Fisheries with a 46 lbs fish and his good mate Rob Hales tackling one of over 30 lbs. (Incidentally, keep your eyes peeled for a couple of cracking catfish, caught

This was my first fishing trip with nets in the Amazon. We caught about 50 fish in less than 1/2 hour. This is what the natives do when they need food!
