I remember being about 12 years old and reading his writings for the first time. He became a hero and huge influence on me from then on. Me and most of the rest of you lot too I assume. I wonder if he knows how many of us feel this way about him. He was a huge influence on me and my relationship with nature and of course carp. Thanks for this
THAT.....was possibly the best podcast I've ever listened to - and I listen to a LOT of podcasts. Completely unexpected, brilliantly and sensitively made, completely absorbing....one of my favourite 2-1/2hrs ever. Thank you.
His voice is just fishing to me ! Listening to him and bob and Bernard narrating was just epic, and gives u the same feel you get when your stalking a carp at last knockings, then lights going and you can still see fish all over your bait and that feeling you have in that moment is what watching and listening to Chris has does for me and he will always be a hero in my eyes
I really enjoy these podcasts, i'm even mentioned in one😅 This is the best one by far, When chris talks he reminds of the old boy we all knew as young anglers starting our journey, the tales they would tell you, infectious tales of monster fish, and encouragent to go out and get em! Chris is THE old school angler, such a chilled out, humble angler and person, could listen to him for hours. 👏👏 Top podcast
Hassan The is the best podcast so far by a country mile , brilliant interview, with one of my fishing heroes. It's just fantastic to listen to Chris Yates , so much history so interesting and a huge nfluence to today's anglers , a proper fisherman , a gentleman and one of life's truly nice guys. Absolutely loved it
Brilliant,Could listen to mr Yates for 4 or 5 hours,Best ever podcast,well done all at Nash for making it happen.he also writes for fallons angler which is a brilliant read.
Iam a almost 55 year old Dutchy, but what an impact chris did have on my fishing and private life......And still has nowday's.....Thankx for that Chris, your the only hero that stood the test of time 55 years🙏🎣❤️.
So great to see and listen to this lovely man. We can all learn so much about ourselves from this human being. He makes you contemplate the important things in life. Thank you for your writing and your unique view of the world we live in.
Brilliant…what a treat…two minutes in and I’m gripped. Chris is a master storyteller, a carp fishing elder and embodies all that is great about fishing!
Best podcast by far. Little did I know that Burgh Heath pond where I learnt to fish in the mid 70s aged 7 was a place this great man had also wet a line. Nicely interviewed Hassan.
I was 15 yrs old when I started Carp fishing!!! I fell in love with it immediately!! Then a year later passion for angling appeared on TV! Then I was then head over heels in love with Carp fishing!!! So Chris Yates set the wheels in motion for me!!!!!! 30 years later I'm still hooked🎣 thank God I found Carp fishing✊
Wow, so fantastic to see Chris Yates on your podcast Hassan. Congratulations. Chris Yates was the first angling name I ever knew when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s. He caught carp which were beyond our comprehension at the time. Before the word's, "Carp fishing" or "Carp angler" were even known. It was great to hear Chris talk about the importance of simplicity in his angling and how he feels complexity clouds his mind and stops him from focussing on the most important part of angling which is finding the carp and presenting a bait to them without them knowing it's connected to a line. Wonderful stuff.
such a beautiful man and I wish there was more like him in life. Such a big inspiration 2me as a kid and still till this day . Awesome interview and big thanks Nash for sharing
He should be honoured for what he's done for angling 🥇 pity it's not a sport that many people get noticed for their achievements #nighthoodforchrisyates
It is a privilege to spend a bit of time in the company of this man. My whole ethos, outlook and attitide to angling, nature, wildlife and life in general has been so influenced by the writing, the films, the poetry. Thankyou for filling my world with light on ripples, the turn of a fin, sunset over steaming rivers, midnight calm over lapping pools and the beauty of the world.
the man who started me on a 35 year carp fishing journey still on going to this day a pioneer of the pastime we all love today thank you Chris I could listen to your stories all day long ❤
I haven't been fishing sinse i was about 14, thirty years ago but still dream about it and every year or so watch a passion for angling and the nostalgia it brings back makes the hairs on my neck stand up. The fishing in the north east wasnt great but i found my redmire and the magical mystery that little lake with its boat house will never leave me.
This man is an absolute legend and will never know how grateful I am to him. He is literally the reason I became an angling writer. Great podcast too!👍
What a fantastic podcast,the legend and gentleman a true countryman you could listen to for days,His breadth of knowledge and subjects really define what a one off he really is.
Finally, fishing discussions that are of interest to me haha. Please please please do as much as you can with him!!! more fishing videos, more tales from the banks, please
Thank you Hassan,, thank you chris Yates, that’s just blown my mind. My mrs is always moaning about every video , podcast I watch/listen too, ( she hates fishing ) 😂😂 she actually sat through the entire podcast and said that’s one of the best things I’ve ever watched , that guy is so charming and interesting 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 what a legend
Wow incredibly captivating stories , he makes everything sound so special , quintessential English angling from times of old . The essence of Angling without a company name even mentioned , or a product Ad . It’s not the era I’ve fished in but there’s something so very real, humble & simple in his approach. He completely captures your imagination & the real reasons we go fishing . Brilliant watch . Wicker creel 👌🏻
Great video thanks for uploading. I could listen to Chris all day. There is something liberating about him, living life on his own terms and ploughing his own furrow.
What a fantastic podcast with true angling royalty.This episode has been saved along with all my other favourite films i have collected over the years on youtube on the saved videos section of my account that has been titled “A Passion For Angling” for the past 8 years. I just love to listen to the tales and stories of the myths and legends surrounding Redmire Pool.What was and what might have been and i also always wonder just how large Harry was from PFA “Monster Myths” episode. Credit to Hassan for this brilliant episode with arguably the most well known and iconic person in fishing history 👏👏👏
How infectious listen to Chris talk and so eccentric a really lovely bloke with some fantastic fishing tales someone that's been through and done it all pure magic really enjoyed this one 👌
Absolutely brilliant! Thanks to all for doing this, I enjoyed it immensely. I've kind of lost my way fishing-wise these days, but listening to Chris just fires my imagination. One day I might find a small overgrown pool similar to those of my youth and cast a line once again.
Chris...Legend.. Passion was an awesome series and was the very thing that got me into fishing aged 25.. I'm 50 now and still remember every word and fish in those films. Who else would stand a scarecrow in a lake for days to "get the fish to trust him" lol... thx for this vid
Calum thank you for the support and kind words pal! I think the strength of this podcast is purely Chris, I can’t take any credit, he’s a true pioneer!
This ending up being a 5 hours long podcast.. just kept rewinding listening to the great stories taking it all in! Made me feel like i was actually there with him! Fantastic watch 🫡
I could listen to this great man read a news paper and be equally mesmerised what a old soul and so intune with nature and still exited as a child at his age it's contagious
What a wonderful man Mr Yates is. I've never been a traditionalist but I've always had time to listen to what the man says, he paints such an enticing vision of the world around us.
I would of been so chuffed to have pod cast him what a lucky bloke you are that is what dream are made of spending time talking to one of the few fishing gods and a great writer 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm just glad iv heard it from Chris himself in hes own way.. that's surely rubbed off on Alex lol the apple never falls far but who wouldn't want to either tell their tale.
How in the hell did you convince Mr Yates to do this?! Wow.. sad to see him looking so old but on a positive he's the same passionate eccentric Piscator he always was! 😄 Piscator turned twitcher! Blimey 😆😆😆
the original hipster fisherman, im betting he carries a 1900s typewriter to the bank just to write notes, when a normal person would carry a pencil and notepad.
Chris ,rod, maddocks, Hilton etc..much better anglers and probably way ahead of their time ,ok we've got better equipment now and technology but could you catch under the conditions and tackle that they did..probably not ....well done nash 👌
One thing for sure!! A passion For Angling Will Never Be Bettered......
100%
No-one else could keep me watching for 2 hours and 24 minutes, the man is a legend
I remember being about 12 years old and reading his writings for the first time. He became a hero and huge influence on me from then on. Me and most of the rest of you lot too I assume. I wonder if he knows how many of us feel this way about him. He was a huge influence on me and my relationship with nature and of course carp. Thanks for this
Best podcast yet!
If I didn't have my Dad already, I would love to have had Chris as my Dad. What a wonderful human being. He will live on forever
THAT.....was possibly the best podcast I've ever listened to - and I listen to a LOT of podcasts. Completely unexpected, brilliantly and sensitively made, completely absorbing....one of my favourite 2-1/2hrs ever. Thank you.
We all stand on your shoulders Chris 👍 Fantastic podcast so glad to see Chris still on our screens after all these years
