Host Chris Sandford visits the River Kennet to fish for big Barbel, before joining friend of the show Keith Arthur down on the River Rother for some old school float fishing for silvers. The Kennet is legendary among Barbel anglers, as is Chris’s guide Nigel Botherway. While Chris relaxes on the bank, Nigel gets soaking wet in pursuit of the perfect spot where he believes these spooky fish will be hiding. On the Rother, Keith and Chris get back to their roots fishing for Gudgeon, Roach, Dace, Perch and Trout with the old schoolboy weapon of choice, the whip pole.
