Joining Hassan in the studio this week is Cotswolds outdoorsman and Nash consultant Luke Bowns or how he is more "affectionately" known Cotswold Puke.

Luke is a die hard carp angler who has spent the best part of thirty years fishing the waters in and around the Cotswolds Water Park. He talks about his love of the area and why he chooses to fish low stock, busy waters rather than travelling to venues away from the area.

Luke talks about his significant Cotswolds chapters including his captures and escapades on Bramble Mere, Large Lake, Coate Water Park and various others as well as his "guesting" in the local area.

Fishing the water park he talks about his experience of otters and their impact on the fishing as well as how he has developed techniques to fish and overcome the incredible infestation of crayfish that inhabit a lot of his chosen waters.

One things for sure Luke is very much his own man who is proud of his roots and lives life and his fishing on his own terms.
