EP 66. Morris Clarkson Salmon Lures & Ribble Salmon

Recorded in 2012. Morris Clarkson of the Ribchester based workshop Spintec has been hand making bespoke Salmon lures since the 1950s, including the Flying C, Devon Minnow and Blair Spoon. Quality not quantity is the company motto. He also regularly fishes with these lures on the River Ribble for Salmon from which he has taken in excess of 200 fish. Both aspects are discussed here in detail, along with a history of lure making in the UK.
