A Revisit to Amwell Magna to Fish the River Lea

Send us Fan MailEpisode 333 - Amwell Magna and the River LeaWhat only feels like yesterday but was a number of years ago now, I was a member of Amwell Magna Fishing Club based on the River Lea in Hertfordshire.I made the long drive and was lucky enough to catch the mayfly hatch.I speak with members about what has changed since I last fished there and catch a few fish too.Feargal Sharkey was there and tells me what anglers can do to protect their waterways, we had lunch provided by Michelin Starred chef, Chris Galvin and I also hear about the Scotch Egg origins from pastry maestro Roger Pizey from Fortnum and Mason.We caught fish but the day was about much more than that and captures a little of what fly fishing means to all of us.
