Casting with Ceri Jones
by Ceri Jones
Ceri Jones is a passionate fly-fisherman, professional photographer and photo-journalist. Casting with Ceri Jones is the story of Ceri’s fly-fishing career, the days, weeks and years spent on boats and riverbanks. Tales of the catches, the tackle, the lakes, the rivers, the ones that were landed and the ones that got away. Interviews on location and in the studio, with fellow fishermen, gillies, boatmen, friends, champions and fisheries managers. There will be tackle reviews, venue guides and even the winding yarn of the Big 23lb 12oz Corrib Catch. So pull up a chair, settle back, relax and enjoy an uninterrupted hour of fishing talk. Because as Ceri always says ‘The next best thing to being out fishing … is talking about it’
