In this episode I head to Finland with my frinds Paul Procter and Chris Rownes.
We fish a series of rivers that connect lakes where baitfish known as bleak head out of the lakes where sizeable brown trout are waiting.
Aside from this, there are also some amazing caddis hatches where big, brown trout rise to them.
Join us for a few days fishing and hear what happens as 3 friends armed with fly rods tackle these amazing trout.

Episode 344 - Neville Broad - Saltwater in his Veins
I talk with Neville Broad about his fly fishing career that is based largely around saltwater fly fishing both here and abroad.
I learn about him fishing for various species until he caught his first bass and how it changed everything.
During our conversation I get to hear a lot of fishing tips that will prove invaluable for anyone considering trying saltwater fly fishing in the UK or if they'd like to learn a little more. 
One of the highlights for me was learning about fishing crab patterns for bass along with his record halibut on a fly too.
This is a fascinating look into saltwater fly fishing.
