Angling Test
24:34
Fishing legend Paul Young chases Brown Trout on the fly in this episode of Hooked in the king and queen of chalk streams, the River Test and River Itchen in Hampshire. The gin clear waters and abundance of life in England’s premier chalk streams represent some of the best fly fishing sport in the world. Paul learns the art of upstream dry fly fishing from the local guides that dedicate their lives to the Test, analysing the insect life, casting techniques and watercraft necessary to catch big brownies! Paul is also joined by fellow actor and fly fisherman Bernard Cribbins as he fishes a beautiful stretch of classic chalk stream water.
