The BBC confirmed back in June that Bob and Paul would be returning for an eighth series.
On its commission, Patrick McMahon, BBC Commissioning Editor said: "We’re so happy to welcome Paul and Bob back for another slice of fishing, friendship and riverbank philosophy. Following their adventures and spending time in their company is always a treat, and this series promises to be the most personal and pleasurable yet."
While Whitehouse added: "I can’t wait to get back to Gone Fishing with that other bloke in tow."
And Mortimer said: "I’m looking forward to visiting old haunts from my younger years as Paul and I will be travelling back in time for this series, going to fish in places which shaped our lives."
