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”

This week's episode, I talk about the attraction of the Mayfly that brings anglers together. The experiences and the feelings the hatch gives us. A magical time of year that stirs so much anticipation and excitement, at this spiritual time for us, fly fishermen. The Corrib this year is seeing the biggest hatch in a very long time.... go and get your doctor's paper and get out on the lake!
This week, I chat with Evo Smyth. Originally from Latvia, but for the last twenty years lived in the Midlands of Ireland. He is known by many for his fly-tying presence across social media and exhibiting at flyfishing shows. Like me, he has a passion for Irish Wet flies and gives his own twist to some of the well-known traditional patterns. Not only does he enjoy tying them, but it is also his favourite method when fishing the loughs, notably Corrib, Mask, Sheelin and Ree.
He is donating an Irish Wet fly selection for this month's prize to paid patron members. Competition and details will be announced soon.
Enjoy!
This week I chat with Galway angler Niall Gelston. He is relatively new to the flyfishing scene only first picking up a fly rod just 5 years ago. He is now a regular on the Irish competition scene and recently a member of the Melvin Hoppers taking first place in the Airflo Open heat at Lough Lene. It's great to see new faces in the sport with so much enthusiasm and living in Galway it is no surprise he has a passion for Lough Corrib. He tells us how his season has been up to now fishing the duckfly, campto and the Mayfly.
