I have been fishing for many years now 38 probably, starting on my local river axe catching small brown trout minnows and eels fishing with worms and hand lines until I got given my first 4 ft rod and pirate 1 reel ,after that there was no stopping me, I now fish for most species depending on the season’s but it’s mainly pike and catfish on the fly , I love a challenge and catching large predator on the fly is what makes tick and trying new things that people think is impossible, like catfish on the fly being one of them, pike on the fly is exciting for sure, but hooking a wels catfish in the pitch black of night though your finger tips is something that everyone should experience once in there life’s and being stripped down to your backing in seconds is not something you really get with our fresh water species. Sorry to go on a bit but my love for this sport is real .
