Episode 325  The Fly Fishing Community

Last weekend we hosted our first Trout & Salmon Gathering at the Fox and Hounds down in Devon.

The hotel has a special place in my heart as I spent 12 years of my life guiding the hotel's water.

I'm always a little nervous ahead of these events but there was no need to worry.

We kicked off with a film and went on to have talks, demos, tying, good food and even some music.

The big clue I had was when groups of strangers were sat together for dinner and continued talking long after the food had been cleared.

We were lucky to have some amazing guests to share their knowledge with attendees including Paul Procter, Simon Kidd, Gareth Lewis, Pete Cockwill, Jay Bartlett, Ed Thomson, Fred Brown, Harry Chance, Ed Noyes and many more.

In-between my various duties I got the chance to speak with some of the people there about fishing and to capture a little of what went on.

It was amazing fun and I hope you enjoy this episode.
