This week’s episode I chat once more with Alun Rees. Alun is no stranger to my podcast as he has been on 3 other occasions chatting about his passion for sea trout.

I rarely fish for salmon but have caught many while fishing on a lough in Ireland very few on a river.

So this episode thought I’d chat about the different fly styles while fishing for salmon including Tubes, Waddingtons and Intruders. When to fish them and why chose one over the other at different conditions.

Enjoy!

This week I had the privilege to travel to meet James Cosmo at his home in Surrey to record our chat. He is a proud Scotsman and been a professional actor spanning 60 years. As well as an extensive television career he has appeared in over 130 Hollywood films. He has a love of fishing, especially trout, so whenever he has a chance he likes nothing more than to cast a fly on the river. We also chat about his new venture, 'Storyman' his very own blend of whisky.

This week I chat with Craig Barr. He talks of his plans for the coming season and of his recent appointment with Greys. In this episode he tells everything you need to know when fishing Rutland Water early season and into spring. Places to fish, flies to use and methods which will bring you success. The Ultimate Guide you could say from an angler who has fished it for over 40 years.

This week I travelled up to the Cotswolds to chat with Tim Small at Lechlade and Bushyleaze. Tim opened its doors to the public over 50 years ago and today Lechlade is known as one of the leading big fish waters in the country. He talks of how it all started back in the mid 70s and tells of what goes on behind the scenes and how things have changed, especially the fishing season due to global warming.

In his own words 'it's not all moonlight and daisies'.

Enjoy!

Hi Guys, this week I chat with Nick Warren. He has a passion for the large sea trout of the Rio Grande, Argentina. He has fished there for the last 18 years with his biggest to date topping the scales at 28lb. He is from Bristol but travels with his work all over the world as an international DJ and Producer. Some of you will know him from the dance music scene of the 90's when together with Jody Wisternoff formed Way Out West. He talks of how music and fishing play a big part in his life even as a young boy fishing small rivers at his home in Dorset and spending all his spare money on records.

Enjoy!

This week I chat with Dan O'Neill, ghillie at the Mount Juliet Estate, Kilkenny. He talks about the River Nore and the story behind getting the job at only the age of 14. He is also a qualified APGAI single handed casting instructor and gives demonstrations around the country at various shows. An interesting guy to chat with a few stories to tell including, James Bond and Denim Blue.

This week’s podcast episode and the first one of 2024 I talk about winter tactics on Stillwaters. Both fishery and reservoir hints and tips to help get you success out of these cold and short winter sessions. What to look for, areas, patterns and methods, plus I tell of my experiences which can turn those difficult days into ones to remember catching double figure rainbows and feisty tigers.

Hi guys, I hope you all had a great Christmas and enjoyed listening to Part 1 of my Christmas Podcast.  There were so many guests and episodes in the last 12 months, I had to split it into two.  I had a blast recording each and every one of them and made new friends along the way and hope you enjoyed listening as much as I enjoyed making them? So once more sit back and relax and listen to my chats with guests of 2023.

Happy New Year!

This week’s episode I chat with Yorkshire angler Stephen Smalley. He has fished his local rivers since a young boy, however, it's the stillwaters and reservoirs he prefers to be. He started to flyfish at Stocks Reservoir and nowadays he enjoys nothing better than to be afloat on his local lake, Malham Tarn. Many of you will also know him for flytying and seen him at many of the shows including the BFFI and Irish Fly Fair.
