Paul Thomas
Membership Secretary
I have been an angler for more than 5 decades, from childhood through to the present day, catching my first pike back in 1973 and, from that magical moment esox Lucius has been ever present throughout all of my fishing escapades, swimming through all of my fishing thoughts and long may it last.
As a dyed in the wool bait angler throughout the years, pike fly fishing only came to me 3 years ago and boy, am I glad it did as my fishing had gotten a bit stale but, after the first pike “hit” on fly I was entirely re-energised and my fishing was instantly fun again. Soon after this epiphany I joined the Pike Fly Fishing Association and took part in a couple of the organised pike fly events with like-minded anglers, many of whom have become friends, and being given the chance to act on behalf of the Pike Fly Fishing Association in a committee role is a very real honour for me.
Throughout my tenure as Membership Secretary I will strive to push the pike fly agenda, help encourage new memberships and hopefully be part of all of the successes that the PFFA experiences in the future.
