In this week's episode I chat with River Test guide and instructor Gilly Bate. I met up with her earlier on in the season at Lower Mill, a beautifully manicured stretch of crystal clear water which holds both browns and grayling, to shoot a feature for the Flyfishing Journal. I chat with her this week on the phone to see how her season was plus to find out more about the chalk streams which she has fished for more than 20 years.

Casting With Ceri Jones : Ep. 158  Gilly Bate

Ceri Jones is a passionate fly-fisherman, professional photographer and photo-journalist. Casting with Ceri Jones is the story of Ceri’s fly-fishing career, the days, weeks and years spent on boats and riverbanks. Tales of the catches, the tackle, the lakes, the rivers, the ones that were landed and the ones that got away. Interviews on location and in the studio, with fellow fishermen, gillies, boatmen, friends, champions and fisheries managers. 
There will be tackle reviews, venue guides and even the winding yarn of the Big 23lb 12oz Corrib Catch.
So pull up a chair, settle back, relax and enjoy an uninterrupted hour of fishing talk. Because as Ceri always says ‘The next best thing to being out fishing … is talking about it’
