Jan 10 Casting With Ceri Jones : Episode 206: Andrej Urosevic

Hi guys, I'm always looking to up the game and occasionally doing something different for the podcast and this week is one of those episodes.

This week I chatted with Andrej Urosevic. He is known for his cooking ability specialising in fish. Over the last 2 years or so he has hit social media by storm in his goal of cooking every fish in the world. He has over 5 million views and just over half a million followers on Instagram (andrejcooksfish) His hook you can say is entertaining viewers by slapping each fish he cooks!

Although he has fished since a young boy he only recently taken up fly-fishing and shares his knowledge and advice on cooking Trout, Perch and Grayling!!!

Ceri Jones

This week's podcast episode is a special one for me. I never thought when I started back in 2020 during lockdown I would one day be celebrating 200 episodes.

I have had an amazing time and also made some great friends along the way. A big thanks to all my guests, listeners and especially to the patrons of my channel.

I decided I would do something a bit different, and over the years I have been asked numerous times to give my story. So this episode I am the other side of the desk and my turn to be asked the questions. I am joined by David Guest who was a colleague at the Flyfishing Journal.

Enjoy!
