The Art of Coarse

Paul Young discovers the growing popularity of coarse fishing in Scotland and learns some of its secrets. For example, why some fish have a liking for sweetcorn and aniseed - baits that are totally alien to their environment. And why some fish prefer the smell of coconut and cheese. Paul's tour, of some splendid coarse fishing venues produces Pike to 25lbs and Carp to 20lbs. He fishes the River Clyde, Lochmaben, the Tay as well as Duddington Loch in Edinburgh, Loch Awe and the Forth of Clyde canal in the very heart of Glasgow.
