Alex Thrift - Dry Flies, Scratched Reels and Home Water

Alex Thrift talks to me about his love of fly fishing and the importance of simplicity in the sport. 

He shares his experiences fishing in Wales and North Sweden, as well as his favourite rivers, including the Usk and the Monnow. 

Alex also talks about the significance of fishing friends and how they have influenced his journey as a fly fisherman. 

He emphasises the joy of using and enjoying fishing gear, rather than keeping it in pristine condition. 

We also talk about the current state of the fly fishing landscape, the power of social media in connecting fly fishers globally, the art of writing about fly fishing and dream fishing destinations.
