It was great as always to be back in the mountains fishing pocket water with dry flies for fast, rising fish.

Before the trip I'd experienced a blip in my relationship with fishing and wanted to see if I could fully reconnect with it.

As ever, the fishing lived up to expectations but it was so much more than that.

I speak with the guides and some of the guests about their fishing and what it means to them.

This podcast spans two back-to-back trips where 12 anglers joined us, friendships were made, trout were caught amid much laughter.

In this episode I talk with Dave Wiltshire who is a well known fly tyer and angler who has written numerous articles for Fly Fishing and Tying magazine.

We cover a vast range of topics looking at how fishing fits into his life and how he has changed how he approaches fly tying.

We deep dive into what fishing means to him and uncover some interesting ideas on the subject.

For both of us, sharing information and knowledge is important and we discuss how that translates into fishing too.

He tells me about his first visit to the BFFI as a tyer and how he ended up doing an unplanned demo ahead of Oliver Edwards!

As ever, we cover a lot of ground that looks beyond fishing.

Free to download, I hope you enjoy this episode.

I caught up with Howard Thresher at the tackle shop he runs in Crediton, Devon.

I've known him quite a few years now and I really wanted listeners to hear the story of a river that was completely fished out until he was lucky enough to buy the fishing rights and nurse it back to health. It now holds some pretty special fish.

We also get an intimate insight into how he runs a tackle shop, known locally as the sweet shop, a little differently from the norm.

You'll learn how he stumbled into the industry almost by accident but used his skills in other areas to make the business a success.

I really enjoyed talking with Howard and hope you'll enjoy our conversation just as much.
