I don't like to see carp caught with a bow and arrow also, but i love his show. Almost every episode is available on youtube and i have watched them all several times. I like his humor and the way he gets exited about a fish. Jeremy Wade is also okay. My guess is that you have a lot more fishing shows on tv in England?
Frenchboy,
I respect your opinion about commercial lakes, but i still have to correct you ( a little). The waters on the Goncourt complex are property of the Briallart family. And Pascale is as French as they can possibly come.

This book delivers every kind of info you need to fish in france without having to discuss your fine with "the gare du peche"
One small problem: it's written in dutch...
Nothing what a little help from google translate can't fix.
