Marina Gibson has just released her first book- Cast Catch Release- but the journey to get to where she is now has been anything but smooth.

The story begins when she was a child and her family spent a lot of time fishing. Although she wasn't all that interested at the time, over the years her interest grew and became a huge passion that helped her in her darkest times and has now become a career through the Northern Fishing School and many more enterprises too.

But to get here wasn't easy. Marina has overcome prejudice, preconceptions, painful personal circumstances, judgements and so much more to develop her businesses, welcome more people into the world of fishing, support those suffering with cancer, and share great work in salmon conservation.

Marina is hugely inspiring- not just because of what she's done in the fishing world, but how her work has helped to make fishing more accessible to so many more people... she's a real trailblazer and I think you're going to love this episode.
