Some of the Fish Are SO Small - Like the Bullhead Or Miller's Thumb - That Anglers Would Not Normally Attempt to Catch Them. Plus There Are Foreign, Big Fish Like Wels Catfish, Ancient Fish Such AS Eels, and Tiny Fish Including Sticklebacks.
to Catch Each Species Matt Uses Diverse Styles of Angling, From Fly-casting For Trout and Salmon to Legering With Modern Paste Baits For Carp. HE Demonstrates Classic Styles Such AS Free-lining and Trotting With Floats, Plus HE Uses Cut-down Tackle For the Mini-species, Such AS Loach and Sticklebacks.
