The Plodcast

240. In search of the water wolf - the mighty pike - with TV presenter Will Millard


Listen Later

This week we're spending the day on a waterway in Gloucestershire in search of a creature that has spawned a thousand myths and monster stories – we're hoping to meet the mighty pike, Britain's largest predatory freshwater fish.


Angler and TV presenter Will Millard is joined by the Plodcast team of Fergus and Jack – and later Annabel – to see if they can get close to one of these beautiful and extraordinary creatures.


Plus we discuss the ethics of fishing – is it cruel?


Listen on for a truly extraordinarily tense end to this season of Plodcasts.


If you've enjoyed the plodcast, don't forget to leave likes and positive reviews.
