A little about me, I’m what you would call lucky!

I fish because it’s my passion and I share this passion with my close friends and fishing buddies. I’m a consultant for Wychwood, so get to use amazing gear and play with products before they even come out in the shops. I have a technical mind, so a love of what makes good bait and quality pop ups. This means I work with people to develop bait that helps me catch more fish! And at this point you are thinking “Lucky” right? If not then my real job is a designer for one of the largest chocolate companies that allows me to finish early Fridays so I can go fishing!10929255_753725668051902_941956666630788399_n

Every lake has a character fish, beautiful surroundings or simply amazing people and it’s these things that make every fishing day a good one.

Having to breaking down one of my lightweight rods every time the weather looked good. I...
