Jeremy Lucas and Chris Ogborne fish from a boat at Bewl Water in a bitter northeast wind and brilliant sun. Jeremy Lucas works a floating line to tempt fish to the surface while Chris Ogborne yet again shows his mastery of the intermediate line and very light tackle. The 1987 world champion Brian Leadbetter and the well-known angler Bob Church fish the mighty Grafham Water.
