Video Projects

Recently, I have started making some videos and placing them on YouTube. As the collection grows, it is my hope that there will be something there for everyone, especially since I am a tridiscipline coach, holding qualifications in coarse, game and sea fishing. At the moment, it is early days but hopefully there might be something here to catch your interest.

(Please note: I am not monetised and gain no revenue from any of my videos.)
Ultralight fly fishing involves one and two weight fly fishing rods used for a variety of species. In this video, a two weight fly rod is used to tackle carp at Bake Lakes in Cornwall.
