Episode 285 - Fishing, Gatherings and Good People
I'm back on the road once more and this time I'm in Derbyshire to attend one of our gatherings at Mallon and Green in Bakewell.
I managed to tag on some fishing too and fish the Derwent with Geoff Hadley and bump into a few friends along the way as we fish late into the night.
The next morning, I attend the annual event that takes place in Bakewell to celebrate the anniversary of the river Wye switching to the dry fly only rule after James Ogden showed how devastating this method of fishing could be.
I speak with Jan Hobot who makes the ceremonial cast on the river and learn a little bit about this tradition that has taken place for 160 years.
Later in the day, I head over to Mallon and Green, a fly shop, that over the last 3 years has become the hub for the local fishing community.
I speak with some of the people attending about fishing who share some interesting stories.
This a snapshot into fly fishing on many levels that I hope you'll enjoy listening to.
