About Me
I’ve been fishing since the age of 7 and have spent the last 20 years fly fishing rivers for trout and grayling. Over the years, I’ve explored a variety of waters, including rivers in Spain and Italy, targeting brown trout and marble trout.
While I’ve fished internationally, I have a real passion for my local urban rivers, which are often overlooked but hold some truly remarkable fish.
Teaching is a big part of what I love. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing someone develop a new skill and experience the excitement of catching a fish for the first time.
