Episode 323 - A Day Trip To Glasgow
I get up early, drive to Bristol airport to attend the Glasgow Angling Centre Open Weekend.
I catch up  with attendees, friends from the trade and get the chance to speak with the man behind the store, Paul Devlin, to hear his story from a stall on a market to a 30,000 square foot store today.
I hear about some the latest products coming to anglers this year and talk fishing with all of them.
You'll hear from Eoin Fairgrieve, Gordon Armstrong, Simon Gawesworth, Steve Peterson, Rachel Brady, Jim Fearne, Jim Curry plus more.
As ever, I try hard to mix up each episode to ensure you'll have something different to listen to each week.
I hope you enjoy this one!

Episode 322  There's No Place Like Home Water
In this episode I am joined by my wife Emma and our dog Montana for a morning on our home water, the Taw, in Devon.
We talk about some of the times we have experienced here and share stories of fish we have caught.
We didn't plan to do a podcast but thought it might be fun to take you fishing, explain a little about where we're fishing and what it means to us.

New Podcast Ep 321 - Trout Fishing in Patagonia
Join me as I head to Argentina with my friend Ray in search of Patagonian brown, rainbow and brook trout.
We fish a variety of rivers, lakes and spring creeks with nymphs, dries and streamers.
The fish are like no other I have caught before and are sizeable and strong.
We stay at Argentina Waters Lodge as a treat for my birthday.
I have worked hard to capture what I can only describe as incredible fishing.

Episode 320 Will Shaw and Mark Surtees on Fly Casting and Instruction
In this episode, we explore the evolving world of fly casting instruction along with fly casting tips.
Will and Mark have looked at the traditional teaching process and have looked into other sports to learn from them and how they can be transferred into fly casting tuition.
Their modern approach focusses on their pupil and how they can take as much as possible from a lesson and to make the session enjoyable and easy to understand.
I really enjoyed talking with them both as they share some amazing knowledge that will help both instructors and those looking to improve their skills on to a new, more modern platform.
