Tales from the River Bank

What do Sean Connery, Robert Redford and Kevin Costner all have in common? Besides being big Hollywood stars, they're all avid fly-fishing fans. But, you don't need to be a legend of the silver screen to indulge in one of Britain's most popular pastimes. Find out what makes fishing such an addictive leisure pursuit in UKTV Gardens' new show Tales from the River Bank.

Geoffrey Palmer's narration shows us how important it is to choose the right flies and how delicate and convincing casting is of paramount importance in catching fish. Fly-fishing is all about deceiving the trout and disguising the bait - one wrong move and the fish will get suspicious! It might look like a quiet sit by the river with a flask of tea, but beneath the surface fishing is all about using your wits to outfox the fish.

If you haven't discovered the joys of fly-fishing yet, tune in to Tales from the River Bank and be inspired. With beautiful shots of the natural habitat surrounding the lakes and rivers and some stunning underwater footage, this series gives you a sense of why so many people devote so much of their free time to this compelling pastime. So whether you're an avid angler or front-room fisher, take a look. You never know, you might get hooked...
