TA|Insights | Volume Two | Chapter Two | Forgotten Mere | Gaz Fareham
Спорт
Back in the 80’s and 90’s, the meres of Shropshire were at the forefront of the carp angling world, with some truly wonderful specimens swimming in their depths. Stocked with the old Leney strain, amongst others, Birch Grove was one of the most popular and documented, thanks to the efforts of Tim Paisley. In recent years, it has been pushed to one side, in favour of the modern gravel pit scene, but could there be some special fish still swimming in the silty, lily clad angler’s paradise?
Having grown up in the north, fishing the famous Cheshire meres, we tasked Gaz Fareham to pit his wits against Birch Grove. With some specimens approaching 50 years old still present in the tricky, intimate mere, it certainly wasn’t a task for the faint hearted!

Gas fareham has to be amongst my favourite anglers, so good at what he does yet so very humble, not many left in game like that now so thank you!
Done Nick and Gaz, just greatness 👍🏻 catch one wild one from the canal or five from the mere, these guys bring it to life. TA such a great line up of sponsored anglers.

Your kind words are much appreciated, Paul! Thanks!
I can remember reading Tim Paisley’s books, and it was a driving force to keep us going on our own winter trips. And as others have said Gaz is a great bloke never met him, but really enjoy his videos.
Enjoyed that - thank you
What a magical trip! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Love gaz and thinking angers
Can listen to gaz all day long what a legend 😎
Something that I’ll be watching over and over again well done

Fondly remember my week on Birch, October, Early 90s, with some southern friends. None of us did well, I certainly blanked it, and probably didn’t fish it well. Lovely to see Gaz with those fish, it surely is a lovely place.

Stunning historical venue long way from home but well worth the journey Gareth rewarded with the captures of some of the venue's residents . Superb footage thanks for sharing this session as I expected knew would be worth waiting for look forward to your next video

Amazing fish
Shows us the thinking anglers C-Clip lead setup but later in the video at 32.39 he is using the Korda heli-safes on all 3 rods. Would like you to show us what you are using regardless of the company that makes the video. Yes, this film was made by Thinking Anglers but if Gaz is going to choose to use a different brand, it would be nice to know why. Great film nonetheless.
Brilliant 👏🏻

Do you need to cut the swivel of your led using the c clip method?
@samzy6102

Yes I do to make a heli lead
What net is that? Anyone know?
Do you use the heli leds with c clip or is a dumpy led ok?
@ThinkingAnglersTV
3 жыл бұрын
You can use whatever lead you like. Helicopter leads are probably best, but you can cut the swivel off normal leads if you don't have any. It just makes the setup a bit neater.
Idyllic settings, love it. What throwing stick is Gaz using?

Sorry about that, Lee. The music must not have cleared its license yet, shall rectify it soon! Thanks for watching!
This video, and others, would be far better without all the unnecessary over dramatic music.
