Episode 289 - Stalking Carp

I'm just back from Italy, the weather in Devon is bright and warm and I had been thinking of going to my local river but with it being so warm I thought I'd try something a little different.

I decided to see if I could target carp with a fly in clear water.

My plan was to spot a fish, cover it and if I was lucky, even catch it.

I took the mic with me and talked as the day unfolded.

It turned out to be a day of a lot of hard yards and a heap of walking. I checked and I walked 9 miles searching out either a cruising or tailing fish.

With sun on my back and walking in shallow, clear water it was easy to draw parallels with wading a bonefish flat. It was equally as exciting!

Episode 288 - Marble Trout in the Italian Mountains

I packed my rods, headed to the airport and flew out to Italy on a Fly Culture trip.

The destination was Friuli and the target fish was marble trout.

None of the group had caught them before but under the careful eye of Vito and his team of guides we felt the chances were stacked in our favour.

We fished a wide variety of water that you'll hear about but we all realised these events turn out to be about more than just the fish.

This episode is about fishing, food and good company.
