Profile I spent my formative
years fishing the lakes and ponds of Cheshire, during this
period I caught various species including Tench, Roach, Perch
& Pike. I then progressed to river
fishing in the early nineties, Fishing such rivers as the
Dane and River Weaver.
I then joined the Barbel
Society, during this period I became the R.O for the Cheshire
region plus a junior tutor, this gave me the opportunity to
fish other rivers, including the Trent, Severn, Teme &
Kennet where I achieved many personnel multiple catches including
many double figure fish, this concluded with a stunning River
Teme Barbel of 12.1 which appeared in Trefor West’s book
a Lifetimes Addiction.
In the last few years I have mainly concentrated
on the lovely River Dove where I have experienced some legendary
catches, including two 13lb plus barbel in the same session.
I have also spent the last couple of years
giving talks and slide shows along side Dave Mason to various
clubs and organisations.
