Paul, Bob and trusty terrier Ted travel to the Hampshire Avon, where the leaves are turning to red and gold as autumn begins to set in.\n\nThe Hampshire Avon has one of the UK’s most diverse fish populations, and the section of the river on the Longford Estate has been left to grow and adapt with little human interference. This means there is a huge variety of fishing on offer, and Paul and Bob target roach, dace and also river carp, a species they've yet to try for.
