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 I met up with Irish boat building legend Jackie Mons at his workshop close to the shores of Lough Corrib. He has been building traditional timber boats since the age of 16. He has recently retired but still restores and repairs some of his customers boats. I wanted to catch up with Jackie before he closes his workshop doors for the last time. He talks of how it all started and what it takes to build these sort after magnificent works of art.
