Yes it is excellent. Also a shout out for Tim's latest book, there are some remarkable Redmire photos which I had never seen before. It is a BIG book.

Am about half way through, thoroughly enjoyable. Spoke to Tim a few times as he spent some of his childhood around the Preston area (where I used to live) and fished a few of my old lakes.
Can't believe how sharp he still is for 84, and Hassan is really growing on me, great presenting style, just sets the scene and says 'tell me about.....'
It's a long one, over 3.5hrs!

Tim Paisley, learned a lot from reading just about everything he wrote. And of course he also personifies a totally different mindset regarding carp angling than what we are used to now.
Don't like those loooooong podcasts, but in this case i might give it a shot.

Some people just shouldn't do podcasts. To think, it was Paisley who persuaded us all to stop using peanuts. This from a man who believes those coming to a lake for the first time, catch the best fish, because the carp have become accustomed to each anglers different smell and they haven't yet got the measure of the new-kid-on-the-block. A few more vitamins needed. Such a let down.

Great podcast, would love some more of the old timers on. Lots of history out there will be lost when unfortunately some of the true pioneers pass.
I was lucky enough to fish with Tim (and Bill) back in the day so I'm slightly biased but I'd hazard a guess that carp fishing wouldn't be where it is today without the likes of Tim. When you think back to the early 80's it was a niche, strange pastime but through Tim's work with the CS and Carp Fisher, it brought about a seismic change to the popularity of carping, Carpworld and later Carp Talk fed on that.. and spawned a multitude of other mags etc. without his foresight carping wouldn't be half of what it is today, don't get me wrong I don't like a lot of the things going on in the scene today but that's progress.
His writing is still brilliant, I can and do read From the bivvy every couple of years, the way he gets across the thoughts and doubts we all have on a session make you step back and realise that sometimes it's not just about catching but just being there..
He does tend to fawn over Hutchy quiet a bit but they were close friends and influential not just to Tim but to a whole generation of anglers. I'm also sure he'd accept that he's made mistakes in the past re peanuts etc.
Not seen him for a couple of years now, he's still fit, active and very sharp mentally ,(I can only hope I'll be as good at 84 as he his) and long may that last.

I think the last time I was fishing on a lake with Tim he was probably approaching eighty I can remember looking at him across the lake thinking I hope I'm still out with as much enthusiasm at his age.
It wasn't the nicest of weather that week with North Easterlies blowing and night time temperatures dipping well below freezing for the first half of the week it was at least midweek before the weather picked up a bit, he worked at it all week and got rewarded it wasn't a big carp but he was buzzed up all the same.
We all have our own thoughts beliefs in what we think the carp are doing or up to I would gloss over his thoughts on carp recognize our smell (as it's his beliefs not mine) I'm not out to catch them all or fry my head with the mechanics of a rig or a carps olfactory epithelium, I fish as a hobby not a sport if one or two come along and trip up great.

Am about 3/4 of the way through it. Hadn't realised it was basically the Hutchy tapes TP did years ago. Even so,it's still a good read,which in parts makes you think. It also shows just how far things have moved, since carping became more mainstream.
