ABOUT: I love all aspects of angling, from trotting a small stick float down a small stream for chub and dace to lure fishing vast reservoirs for perch. I set myself targets as the seasons change, with new challenges seemingly always on the horizon. There is no better feeling than the success of a red letter day targeting your chosen species and that is what drives me to take every opportunity I get to pursue the sport I love.
