Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing
Season 3 Episode 4 of 6
Paul and Bob fish for brown trout on the river Test in Hampshire, using a Victorian fly-casting technique pioneered in the area as well as an authentic 19th-century rod. The Mayflies are hatching, and the famously short-lived insects inspire some thoughts on the ephemeral nature of life, and what they would do if they only had 24 hours left
