In the first of his journeys across the world to locate unusual fish and the stories behind them, fisherman Charles Rangeley-Wilson is in Bangalore. In search of the legendary and mighty mahseer, the strongest freshwater fish in the world, he follows in the footsteps of colonial anglers and travels to Mysore, in India, to fish the Cauvery River.
It's good to see angling of whatever discipline getting an airing on mainstream TV.

watched the show last night,was pretty good as it held my attention,but i cant understand why they make programmes of fishing in places such as that :? ,when many an angler would never be able to afford to travel to such places.I WANT TO SEE FISHING IN IRELAND, :lol: :lol: :lol: IN PLACES WHERE MOST FOLK CAN TRAVEL TO AND IT AINT GONA COST THEM THE MOON AND STARS,COME BACK OLLIE MAGILLOWAY.....WE NEED A LOCAL ANGLING SHOW..... :idea:
Well said Bass Boy, totally agree. When was the last time you saw a series of programmes on beach fishing? I appreciate not many people want to watch a "how to catch a 20cm flounder" type programme but there are manys a good mark on these shores that could be featured. And before anyone jumps in, I know Matt and Mick went to Killary...... Thats the kind of thing though. A well known mark, some advice on bait and rigs and all being well, a few fish....
Fluff chucking is the new black..... Rampant Wreckfish is a fly angler in denial
I agree with most of the above but I found it a bit too drawn out and then when he did eventually catch something they didnt show the bite on the rod or the whole fight. I thought it gave the impression that it came in easy. I will probably record it next week and FF through to the good bits.
Thought it was excellent myself,I'd say though alot of people that weren't into fishing just wouldn't get the whole idea of going out for hours and catching nothing.I was a bit disappointed that he didn't explain what size hook and breaking strain of line he was using but I can live with that, it's great to see fishing programmes on the box no matter where they're fishing so I've no complaints and it beats watching Fair City or Heartbeat on a Sunday evening :lol:
A bad day fishing is better than a good day at the office!
I reckon we could make a pretty good SAI programme ...
Who would host it???

I enjoyed it, and it was a programme the gf enjoyed too ( she is a veggie so is not big into the fishing thing.)
