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 chat with Don Mansell, he has fished Wimbleball Lake in Devon since it first opened back in 1980. I love this water and wanted to know more, it is overlooked by many anglers a fantastic water. Not only does Don fish it regularly he also works at the dam. He tells us the importance of the aerators and also his top areas around the lake which has brought him success. We also chat about his other favourite waters, Clatworthy, Clywedog and Rutland.
This week’s episode Ceri chats with Mark Underhill owner of Rainbow Valley Trout Farm at Tiverton where he brings on 350,000 rainbow trout for stocking lakes around the country including Anglian Water Reservoirs. Four years ago he also took over the fishing at Wimbleball reservoir which is now going from strength to strength. Plus, during lockdown he bought the George Inn at Brompton Regis only a mile from the lake perfect for anglers wanting a fishing break.
