Tobago
Lars has taken his family with him and settled on the island of Tobago in the Caribbean. BÄ‚Ä„rd travels down to find out how Lars is really doing and why he has stopped fishing. In their eagerness to get both in bag and sack, BÄ‚Ä„rd and Lars become entangled in a web of lies and broken promises. What should have been a cozy family holiday develops into a nerve-wracking drama about the father's role, time constraints, betrayal, fly fishing and infidelity.

Lærdalselva
Things have not gone so well with the queen of salmon rivers, Lærdalselvi, in recent years. Failing salmon populations and the parasite gyro have almost destroyed the king's old river. The table is set for Bård and Lars, who really only go to confirm how bad the fishing has actually become. To their great surprise, they winch in one fish after another and spend a few memorable days in the small fruit village together with the friendly locals and world idol Kurt.

Egypt
Perch fishing with ground and dip has always had a special place in BÄ‚Ä„rd's heart, so he becomes terribly envious when Lars sets a new unofficial Norwegian record for sea bass one October day in the Oslo Fjord. He orders a spur-of-the-moment trip to Egypt with the aim of catching a huge Nile perch and thereby knocking Lars in the boots. After a short toll trip on the Nile, and the worst bargaining attempt in history, the boys take a train to the world's largest artificial lake, Lake Nasser, where the really big Nile perch live.

England
BÄ‚Ä„rd and Lars finally get to go to the cradle of fly fishing: the gin-clear limestone rivers in Hampshire in southern England. Having underestimated the importance of tradition and custom among the English upper class, they elegantly catch up with tweed and sixpence. And after a visit to the local pub, at least Lars gets more fish than ever before. When Lars also sets a new world record for rainbow trout, it starts to itch violently under BÄ‚Ä„rd's tweed and his tongue curls when he meets his great idol, the footballer Eirik Bakke.
