Paul and Bob catch the sleeper train to the Scottish Highlands to fish for ferox trout. Bob can’t resist the challenge to look for Nessie in the vast waters of Loch Ness.
Perch: River Thames, Berkshire
Paul and Bob take trusty terrier Ted to fish for perch on the River Thames. Comedian Richard Herring joins the three of them for dinner.
Carp & Barbel: Reigate Hills, Surrey
Paul and Bob visit the heart of the English countryside in the Surrey Hills, where they fish for carp and barbel. Health expert Dr Anand Patel joins them by the lake.
Brown Trout & Bream: Lough Corrib, Ireland
In a first for Paul and Bob, they venture to southern Ireland to fish the mighty Lough Corrib. At 43.5km long, it is Ireland’s largest lough and one of the best places in the country to try trout fishing. This is very different to fishing the Hampshire chalk streams, as they did a few years ago - this time they are out on boats and try out a new technique called dapping.
