    I keep coming back to give this podcast a go but as hard as I try it fails to hit the mark.

    Would I pay for these? No.

  • Loads of other (free) podcasts available

    Fairly mediocre for the monthly asking price when there’s other podcasts out there interviewing the same guests and coming without a monthly fee.

  • Really enjoyable

    Kickin myself not to have found this a year plus ago, as would have really helped with ‘lockdown moments’. Anyhow, just listened to intro and episode 1 - brilliant, does what it says on the tin, a fireside chat over a pint vibe. A mellow and relaxing listen, that is only bettered by actually wetting flies. Thankyou Ceri.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Casting With Ceri Jones Episode 258 Kyle O Mahony
Q: How did the fish feel when you finally landed it, and what did you do after?
Landing it was a mix of relief and astonishment after an hour-long fight; we released the fish, and I immediately phoned my dad, cherishing the moment as a family memory.
Casting With Ceri Jones Episode 258 Kyle O Mahony
Q: So tell me more, what day was it?
It was Monday, just after the weekend winds, and Kyle describes a windy buildup, a day of careful drift across several marks before the eventual take and the long, successful fight.
Casting With Ceri Jones Episode 256 Craig Barr
Q: How did you fish for them, then?
The guest explains using a 13-foot 9-weight rod, a fast-sinking line, and specific salmon flies, targeting deep pools with dead-drift and a tailored sink rate to reach the fish; the method yielded big, hard-fighting catches.
Casting With Ceri Jones Episode 250: Alun Rees
Q: Do you do much instruction yourself?
Yes, I increasingly offer guiding and instruction, especially for two-handed rod techniques and destination fishing, while balancing time with clients and personal fishing.
Casting With Ceri Jones Episode 251: Chris Hague
Q: What upcoming shows or trips do you have lined up?
He outlines demonstrations and hosted trips to Iceland (East Ranga and West Ranga), Game Fair appearances, and plans to continue with Q&A sessions, plus the Maldives and Dubai travel mentions as past and ongoing experiences.
