The Fly Fishing Duo
Send us a textEpisode 294 - The Fly Fishing DuoI meet up with Ewan and Millie to fish the River Wye in Derbyshire and talk about what fly fishing means to them.They are young and hugely passionate about our pastime and spend their working hours dreaming about going to the river.I get the chance to see fly fishing through their eyes and how it looks to them.They are both skilled anglers who catch some fish while we are talking.I often worry we live in a world that is dominated by social media and the lengths some will go to for a Like or the dream of sponsorship but they aren't interested in any of this. All they want to do is to try and introduce people of their age group to something that means so much to them.

The Test with Mike Blackmore and Neil Swift
Send us a textI got the chance to walk and fish an amazing piece of water at Mottisfont on the famous Test in Hampshire.Mike and Neil tell me about their policy towards the water and what they have done to improve the habitat for the wildlife and fish there.It is a really interesting story and as they get ready to offer the fishing on a day ticket basis in 2026 I hear about how they plan to make it available for a wide range of people to use and enjoy at a price that suits just about every pocket.Mike and Neil are good people doing something that is a little ground-breaking for this part of the world and I applaud them for it.The mayfly had started hatching and we managed to find a few rising trout.Learn more about the fishing below.https://www.wessexrt.org.uk/ChalkStreamExperience.html
