Little trip to Drayton today, the only things feeding were the birds! One heli/pva bag rig and one feeder rod out. 🥶 #carpfishing #fishing

Winters great, but I can’t wait to go fishing barefoot in the summer again with my young apprentice. #summervibes #photography #fishing

This is Bonnie. And has she got a few stories she could tell you! She has to be the luckiest and unluckiest cat alive. #caturday #cat #photography

Does anyone else find their quiet place when they are fishing? I know I do! #photography #fishing #nature #flyfishing

Looking forward to more of this in 2025. Happy new year. #family #fishing #flyfishing

Fishing when I was younger was always about catching the biggest fish possible, it wasn’t until I got older and dare I say, wiser that I realised that it is and always has been so much more than that. Now it’s about sharing time in nature with those closest to me. #fishing #flyfishing #trout

This takes me back! I caught so many Rainbow Trout using a bright orange version of a damsel with an orange tungsten bead for a head. I think 2016 was the best years fishing I had fly fishing. Draycote water had become my second home and I felt so in tune with the water. #fishing #flyfishing #trout

Throw back to when I used to enjoy doing a bit of drawing with charcoal pencils. #art #drawing #fish #fishing

So with the end of 2024 coming on fast, my fishing buddy and I were thinking of a different kind of fishing campaign for next year. Something exciting that anyone else could join in with. Who’s up for it? #fishing #carpfishing #carp #flyfishing #nature #campaign

So went out after a winter Carp or 2 and ended up catching a couple of bream, made friends with a Robin, tried my daughters lucky water charm and wondered why the sign in the toilet is actually a thing. #carp #fishing #catchoftheday #funnysign

Check out this little poser! 🥰 #bordercollie #pets #dog

Some success at least, caught a Spomb! #carpfishing #spomb #fishing

Slow, cold start as would be expected for this time of year but I’m a true believer in the saying “a bad days fishing still beats a good day at work”

Got a little window of opportunity between school drop off and pick up to get a rod in the water to tempt an autumn carp. I’m opting for the pellet feeder. 4mm Sticky Baits blood worm pellets I’ve soaked over night, but as always I’ll keep my options wide open. #carpfishing #fishing #stickybaits

Always nice to have a few moments to just take it all in. There is so much more to fishing than just catching fish. #flyfishing #trout #fishing #mentalhealthmatters

Big Shaggy Parasol from last year. Strange thing is this year we have been to the same spot where there were hundreds last year and haven’t found a thing so far. What’s going on? #mushroom #mycology #foraging

Been looking through some old pictures of some of my fly fishing adventures over the years. The feeling of peace and serenity while out on or in the water can’t be beaten. Catching fish is just an added bonus. #flyfishing #fishing #Catchoftheday

Found growing inside a hollowed out rotten tree stump. Would love an ID on these. #mycology #mushroom #mushroomID

One of my favourite pictures from Draycote water. This one was when I used to be able to catch fish! #fishing #flyfishing

Another beautiful day and not another soul in sight. Bliss. #bordercollie #dog #blueskies

Always up for a walk in the snow with Gilly our Border Collie. There is something truly magical about a bond between a Collie and its human. #bordercollie #walkies
