Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing

Bob and Paul start the series by fishing the beautiful river Exe in Devon, looking for Grilse, also known as the ‘summer silver’. After a day of limited success, they enjoy a game of cricket before having a go at some shore fishing at Bossington Beach in Somerset.

Paul, Bob and trusty terrier Ted travel to north Wales to fish the River Dee for grayling. They try to rediscover their lost youth on this trip, with mixed results.

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.

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.

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.

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.
