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”

A jewel of Welsh Waters where fish over a pound are not uncommon and with a great chance of catching a 2lb specimen. Ceri also shares with us his method of fishing dries to pick out the better fish. A beautiful lake with its Rowan tree lined banks in full colour, free rising exquisitely coloured wild browns and Red Kites soaring above for company.
