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”

Hi guys, the end of the season is drawing closer on the Loughs, so for this week's episode I'll talk about how I'm going to make the most of the time we have left. I am going to focus on trolling for the ferox; I'll talk about my approach, including some new gear to try out. I also tell the story of a memorable fish I caught a few years back from an area I am going to concentrate on this coming week.
Enjoy!
This week's episode I chat with my youngest guest to date and recent member to the Patreon Channel Brad Gair.
At only 22 years of age he has a fierce passion for the sport and especially the competition scene. He has 2 youth International Scottish caps to his name and fishes for the Balfron Piscatorials who have done well in both the Airlo and Greys Championships this season.
It was a real pleasure and encouraging to chat with someone with such a love for flyfishing at a young age.
On this week's episode I explain and run through my gear which I use to catch my ferox on Corrib. You don’t need high tech fish finders and expensive rods to catch a fish of a lifetime. Time on the water and knowledge is the most important thing you need.
I also tell the story of when I was fishing one evening in thick fog and experience firsthand Irish folklore involving fairies and castles. Also when my engine packed in, went straight on the oars and then took a great fish.
Enjoy!
Hi guys, I've had a few requests lately from new patrons of the channel asking for more ferox content. So this week's episode I tell the story of a special day back in 2006 where I get 5 ferox in one day up to 12lb while fishing Corrib. Plus at the end of the day as nightime came I had an unexpected take. Day's like this don't come around that often.
Enjoy!
This weeks episode I chat once more with Explorer and BBC Presenter, Will Millard. He tells us the story of the ferox trout he caught in Scotland only last week. Also chats about behind the scenes while filming two documentaries 'A year with the tribe' and 'Hunters of the South Seas' plus some powerful words of how fishing helped him through some dark times when he suffered with PTSD.
This week's episode I chat with Keith McDonnell who like me has a passion for ferox and big brown trout. Living in Dublin, he travells the length and breadth of Ireland in search for his quarry using his favourite method of articulated streamer fishing. He has had success in both rivers and loughs and talks of the River Slaney and Boyne and Kylemore Lough. He recently set up ‘Impact Flyfishing’ sharing his knowledge and selling his personally tied articulated streamers.
In this weeks episode Ceri tells his story of his 19lb Lough Corrib Ferox Trout. Even tho he has been a fly-fisherman all his life, the last 15 years has seen him having a passion and could be called an obsession for large Brown Trout known as Ferox. This is quite a story, sit back and enjoy.
