I started fishing at the age of 5,I can remember being on holiday in France and my mum and dad taking me to a trout farm,as you can imagine it was a fish every cast and from that moment on I was truly hooked,I always consider myself lucky and very fortunate to be born into a family with a father that was a keen angler,

from that moment on,Robert took me under his wing and showed me some of the joys of fishing,starting with fishing on my local rivers,these waterways were to become a background for many fishing adventures and mishaps.as my confidence grew, Robert showed me how to catch Barbel and Chub and I eventually found myself venturing into Tench and Carp fishing.
I'm in my 30's now and the fishing bond between my father and I is as strong as it was at the very beginning and although we don't fish together as much as we use to due to Robert's health,everytime he manages to go fishing I still see that twinkle in his eye,that spark of passion which he kindly spent his time patiently imparting to me as a youngster and which I carry with me today in an ever evolving pastime, where you're never too old to start out on the fantastic journey that is angling.
