271. A quest to go fishing on a lake where anglers are rarely allowed
Description
We've gone fishing! The Plodcast team of Fergus, Hannah, Jack and Lewis plus angler-writer Kevin Parr are given a unique opportunity to spend a day fishing at at lake where anglers are seldom allowed. Sutton Bingham Reservoir is a vast body of water just south of Yeovil in Somerset and is only usually open to flyfishers going after trout. So what else lives beneath the waves?
Under Kevin's mentorship, the team enjoy an extraordinary day... Listen on for magic and drama.
