Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer travel to the picturesque River Usk in south Wales, where Paul's father first taught him to fish as a young child. The duo discuss their respective childhoods and reflect on their own family lives and values. In their cosy cottage accommodation in the heart of the countryside they compare school photographs and Paul serenades Bob with his guitar. Once outside in the picturesque environment, their quarry is the wild brown trout.

Bob has harboured a childhood dream to catch a salmon, so he and Paul set off for the River Tay in Scotland.
