Describe yourself as an angler
I love nothing more than walking my local river with my dog in all weathers locating where I intend to target on my next session. The majority of my fishing is done in short sessions, unless I am on the river Wye for the day or night fishing on the middle Trent. 

Favourite Venue:River Wye

Favourite Species:Barbel

Favourite Method/Approach:Feeder fishing and Surface fishing

Favourite Hinders Bait:Elips Pellets

Most memorable session:There’s been too many special moments on the bank too name just one. So I’ll probably have too go with the time I landed my first barbel as it intensified the need too catch more of the species and in turn I’ve created better memories along the way.

Target for the next 12months:I want to land a new River Trent personal best Barbel and I also intend on spending some time Tench fishing on my local club waters.
