Casting with Ceri Jones

This week’s episode Ceri travels down to North Devon to meet Lewis Hendrie. They fish an evening for the bass only walking distance from Lewis’s home. He has been in the competition scene for many years since he was a teenager. He is now taking time out and enjoying his pleasure fishing again. He chats about his bass fishing and his recent pb brown trout, nearly 6lb from a South Wales river while fishing with his good friend Terry Bromwell.

In this week’s podcast I talk of my recent trip to Lough Corrib, a very special place for me. Even though the fishing was tough at times, she was again kind to me taking good trout to dry mayflies most days and a magnificent 14lb Ferox.

This week’s episode I chat with Lough Corrib expert Ted Wherry. I meet up with him for a few hours as he takes me out on his boat. The fishing was tough with only a few Mayfly coming off but managed to get a few fish. We fish around Ballynanty Bay and surrounding islands and talks of the drifts, the ECA and some funny stories thrown in.

This week’s episode I chat with the leading expert on catching carp on the fly. I’ve chatted with him before on my podcast, episode 9 and he also appears in the issue of the Flyfishing Journal. He holds the record for a fly caught carp tipping the scales at 39lb. He gives advice and tips for anyone wanting to try their hand at carp on the fly this summer.

This week’s guest I chat with GAIA’s Head of Assessors Alun Rees. He tells of how he became a casting instructor plus advice on anyone who is interested in becoming an instructor and coach. Plus, in the second part of this episode he gives advice to anyone wanting to give sea trout a try this season, and shares his top 3 flies which has brought him success.

This weeks episode I chat with former Wales International and Captain, Mark Thomas. I meet up with him on the bank of his local water Talybont. He tells of his love of Lough Corrib and especially buzzer fishing and the Campto. Plus his huge brown he had last season of 13.5lb from Chew Valley.

This weeks episode I head to the hills and visit Llyn Clywedog one of the leading trout waters in the UK. If Clywedog was a football team it would be in the Champions League for sure. Not only is it a well run water it is set in the most majestic surroundings in the Cambrian Mountains. I fished it this week and in this podcast I talk of how we did, successful methods, plus areas to try.

Some big fish are coming out this month, dont miss out on the action.

This week’s guest I chat with Ann Kitchener a familiar face across social media and at fly-fishing shows around the world. Together with her husband Andy they created Semperfli, one of the most successful UK based businesses making and supplying innovative synthetic materials for fly tying. She tells of how it all started and her passion for the business and plans for the future.

This weeks episode I take a break from my day fishing at Talybont to record this podcast. I had one of my better days there catching 7 stunning wild browns. I chat about my mornings sport plus go on to talk of the many signs at Springtime that will help you when fishing the next few weeks to get you success.

This week's guest is Scottish International, Ken Kennedy from Orkney. I have wanted to fish Orkney for sometime and decided to give Ken a call to find out more. He tells us how to get there, best time of the year to fish, flies to use and which Lochs are best, such as Harray and Swanney. Enjoy!
