I’ve always wanted to fish for wild Salmon, and yesterday I had my first go at the stunning @farnley_estate on the River Tyne. With fish leaping throughout the beat, some perfect looking pools, and the experience of @jan_hobot & @jace69fishing at my side, I was optimistic for a good day.

With just one bump on the line and no fish to the net, beginners luck was not on my side, so here starts my quest to catch a salmon on the fly! 🎣

However, we did get to see some action whilst Jan had a good battle with a large dark salmon that rolled around and came off at the net. Heartbreaking, but confirming that he was on the right fly and fishing well.

Overall it was a fantastic day, in great company. Thanks again to Alix and Chris at Farnley for having me (and for the bankside G&T). I’ll be back

It was a pleasure to support @thepeacockflyfishingclub at their Cancer & Pisces event on the Haddon stretch of the Derbyshire Wye. We took some photos, untangled leaders, and talked all things fishing 🎣

Possibly my best wild rainbow to date. Spotted from high on the bank, the fish was sat in shallow fast water. A few casts of a caddis over the top and bang, we were off down river 👌

Why do fish love a bridge so much? Got amongst a few on a recent trip to my local stretch of the river Derwent. I’m incredibly lucky to live so close to the river and evening sessions have been very productive of late.

More of that to coming soon in our catch report by @peak_anglers

Peak District perfection on the Derbyshire Wye 🤌

Such a privilege to access these parts of the Peak, the fishing, wildlife and landscape really is first class.

I realised that I never shared my images from our Sea Trout adventure to Sweden earlier this year, so here’s a sneak peak at what we got up to whilst searching the West Coast for the elusive fish with @p4dunc @perjornlov @christianekberg and friends…

We’re slowly (very slowly) building peakanglers.co.uk to host longer form photo essays and stories from ours, and others fishing trips. We wanted a place to put all our images as only a handful of what we shoot makes it to Instagram, so, in and around parenting and work we have made a start. If you have some time, then go check out the bones of Catch Report No.1, link in bio ✌️

And just like that, she’s hooked on fishing! 🎣

We took the little one to the pond and picked off fish after fish from the surface. Made a makeshift viewing tank from a 5L water bottle which was great for getting up close to the fish, and had an all round good time - would highly recommend!

Snuck in a few golden hours on the River Derwent last night and was treated to my first proper mayfly hatch on the @thepeacockflyfishingclub waters. The air was thick with dancing mayfly, the water was bubbling with rising fish, and a perfect sunset to top it all off 👌

First quick session of the year and great to get straight onto the fish. Not the biggest in the river but it sure put a bend in the light glass rod 👌
