Magical Waters
Starring John Searl
Filmed and produced by Paul Witcher
Written by Jason Inskip

When ‘A Passion
for Angling’ was released back in 1993 it bought a breath of fresh
air to how we viewed angling through TV. Was it the relationship
between Chris Yates and Bob James that made this production so
unique, probably, but for me it was their childish excitement of the
thought of going fishing, wherever and whatever for that was simply
enthralling? Add to the equation Hugh Miles and well it was recipe
for success and although many times we’ve been promised follow up
videos to surpass this, well let’s be honest, none have even come
close. Well that was until I sat down one evening and watched
‘Magical Waters’ only to be completely drawn into another angling
masterpiece and enthralled once again.
Starring the late
John Searl, artist extraordinaire and extreme passionate angler it
was obvious that the initial seed was planted to create another
masterpiece. Just the words describing water during the first few
minutes captured my imagination and from then on it just oozed
quality from start to finish.
Filmed during the
heat and height of each day so that the film could bring crystalline
lighting quality, no wonder it took four years to create. Covering a
multitude of different species from massive Avon barbel, chub and
roach to the lady of the stream, grayling, captured in what I
consider anglings finest elements, snow. Chasing truly amazing and
rare wild carp to the most temperamental of our species, not quite
coarse but in my book they classify, mullet. Big river carp and pike
have always fascinated me and feature within this video and the venue
I love more than any, Frensham Great Pond, well watching these guys
just brings a smile to my face and the mix of under water footage,
which is as good as I’ve ever seen, is just breath taking.
Words that come to
mind are visually stunning, elegant, humbling, passionate and
atmospheric and if you loved ‘A Passion for Angling’ then you too
will love ‘Magical Waters’.
