We wrote about The Lost World of Mr Hardy when it was released on DVD back in April 2009. The film was made by Andy Heathcote and Heike Bachelier and what you see here is a lost scene. The filmmakers explain:

While making our movie The Lost World of Mr Hardy, a major theme was how the classic chalk streams of England had changed over the 135 years that the Hardy’s had been dominating fly fishing. Problem was we could not fit this into the film’s main storyline, so it will re-appear in a future project. However while filming interviews with riverkeeper Donny Donovan and the legendary Vic Foot, Donny took us out fishing on the ‘aquarium pool’ of his beat on the lower River Test and this is what happened.
