  Published to tie in with a BBC2 television series, this is the story of the piscatorial adventures of Chris Yates and Bob James, accompanied by film-maker Hugh Miles. With high hopes the team set off across Britain: to Redmire Pool, where they catch some monster carp; to Scotland's Spey, for trout and salmon; to the Kennet, where Bob catches a near-3lb roach and, soon after, lands a brace of spectacular pike. Their riverside banter and differing techniques offer insights into fish, fishing, and what fires people with a passion for angling.
