This week I chat with Marina Gibson. She needs no introduction as she is one of the biggest names in our sport. Anyone who knows her will tell you she lives and breathes flyfishing. She is often seen across social media catching many species of exotic fish but it’s fishing for salmon which is her true passion.

Last year she realised one of her pipe dreams and together with her husband Stefan took over the lease of the salmon beat at Bywell on the river Tyne. She talks of her love of Spey casting and along with the positives, the negatives that come with social media.

This week is also an exciting time for her as it’s the launch of her new book Cast, Catch, Release.

Also especially for Patron members Marina is giving away a signed copy of her book for this week’s competition prize.
