This week Ceri chats with England International, Steve Pope at Blagdon Lake, Somerset where he has fished for over 50 years. He has many International caps including gaining the brown bowl. He tells us the history of Blagdon Lake and the changes he has seen, plus how the browns from Ubley hatchery were sent to stock the rivers of the South Island, New Zealand.
Ceri Jones is a passionate fly-fisherman, professional photographer and holder of the Lough Corrib Ferox Trout Record [23lb 12oz].
The Casting with Ceri Jones podcast is the story of Ceri’s career, the days, weeks and years spent casting from 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 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”
