James Harrold on Working in Fishing

I welcome James Harrold along to this episode where he shares his experiences of owning and running a trout fishery, the challenges faced, and the entrepreneurial spirit required to adapt and thrive in the fishing industry. 

He tells me about the transition from moving away from trout to coarse fishing, the emotional impact of closing the trout fishery and why he had to do it.

His fishery recently appeared on the Mortimer and Whitehouse TV show and I learn what goes into making just 13 minutes of TV.

We also talk about his yearly pilgrimage to South Uist, a place that means so much to him.

James is an interesting, open and engaging guest who speaks with great insight into fishing.
