24 Hour Rod Race
24 Hour Rod Race is a race against the clock as one of Europe’s most famous fishermen, Matt Hayes, attempts to achieve a tough challenge set to him by his fishing pal and famous angling writer Richard Lee.
Wye Factor
Matt is back for another series of punishing fishing challenges. In the first episode of series two he’s off to the Wye valley for a multi-species hunt. But to make things interesting, he needs one of them to be a game fish.
The Trent and Mersey Canal
Matt’s at Kings Bromley Marina on the Trent and Mersey Canal with a double mission – to show that canals can offer top-notch fishing by catching a 3lb+ fish from the network. He’s keen to show just how much fun predator fishing in marinas can be.
Dove of hope
Matt heads to a river he’s never fished before – the Dove - and he’s got a serious challenge ahead of him - to catch a 2lb grayling and a 4lb chubb, but the cold weather isn’t going to make things easy for him.
Testing Time
To the famous Testwood Fishery this time, with a 2lb roach or a 12oz dace in his targets, either of which would be the fish of a lifetime. Once again the wintery conditions look like making life a bit tricky.
Angler's Paradise
Going to be easy. Matt’s got 24 hours to catch 5 of the different ornamental species of fish that old stomping ground holds, but there’s a twist. He’s got to do it on the fly.
A Helping Hand
For the first time Matt has some help, as he’s joined by Babs Kijewski, a German carping expert angler from Cologne, but the challenge is doubly hard: they must both catch two carp: one from the top, one from the bottom.
