An angler's portrait of a legendary and magical river, filmed by Paul Witcher. Music by Sir Edward Elgar.
Nothing ground-breaking, but there's some excellent coverage of the whole river from Pewsey to Christchurch and plenty of fishing, much in the Longford Castle area, showing good catches of barbel, chub, roach and pike. Plus some wild browns on fly higher up the river. All in all an hour very well spent....
