Casting with Ceri Jones

From a small boy casting for rainbow trout on the banks of the Eglwys Nunydd Reservoir - with a simple home-made rod and Rimfly reel - to renowned international fly-fisherman and Lough Corrib catch record holder. Ceri Jones’ fly-fishing career spans over 30 years, which have seen him him expertly fish the reservoirs of Wales and England, the many Loughs of Ireland, the mighty glacier-fed rivers of Iceland, and the rivers and lakes of Finland, Sweden and Switzerland. Writing, photographing and talking passionately about his beloved brown trout and his love of fly-fishing. He is now the editor of the Flyfishing Journal, an International quarterly for the modern angler.

The Casting with Ceri Jones podcast is the story of that 30 year fishing career. The days, weeks and years spent on boats and riverbanks.  Tales of the catches, the tackle, the lakes, the rivers, the ones that were landed and the ones that got away.  Interviews on location and in the studio, with fellow fishermen, gillies, boatmen, friends, champions and fisheries managers.  There will be tackle reviews, venue guides and even the winding yarn of the Big 23lb 12oz Corrib Catch.

So pull up a chair, settle back, relax and enjoy an uninterrupted hour of fishing talk. Because as Ceri always says … ‘the next best thing to being out fishing … is talking about it’.

BOOK FLY-FISHING TUITION OR GUIDING SESSION WITH CERI

Ceri offers fly-fishing tuition and guiding services in Ireland & Wales, 1-2-1 and small groups.

“Knowing the waters, reading the conditions, selecting the right equipment, choosing the right moment to change tactics or knowing when to stick with it. This is the fly-fishing knowledge that separates those who catch from those who don’t get a take.

With over 30 years experience on riverbanks and boats, all across the waters of Europe, a tuition or guiding session with me is an investment well worth making.

Whether you are a beginner or an improver, or just fancy a relaxing day on the riverbank with plenty of fishing chat and one to one tuition, a few hours with me and you’ll have them hitting the back of the net in no time.”
