  • The next best thing to being by a stream

    This is such an enjoyable and interesting podcast. Pete has such a gentle manner and really brings out the best in his guests. Tony King was one of my first guides and hearing his voice again did bring a tear to my eye.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Grayling, fried breakfast and fun on the river with Marnie Lovejoy
Q: What does it mean to you being on the river super early in the morning?
Lovejoy enjoys experiencing the day waking up and feels that starting early gives her extra fishing time without taking anything away from the rest of her day.
Grayling, fried breakfast and fun on the river with Marnie Lovejoy
Q: What have you seen in the role since you've been in it now? How's the experience been so far for you?
Lovejoy says the first months were busy, and meeting members at her first AGM and annual conference revealed how much knowledge and experience the Society's members have. She hopes to pass that knowledge on to younger generations.
John Horsey on fishing and guiding
Q: What achievement means the most to you and why?
Horsey values winning a world team medal for England most, because he prioritizes the team's achievement over individual recognition.
John Horsey on fishing and guiding
Q: What advice would you give to somebody who's considering working in fishing?
Horsey says guiding is seasonal and often financially difficult, so people should work hard to build clients, budget for winter and focus on improving their clients' fishing.
Episode 352 - Dan Osmond - Peace, Trout and Understanding
Q: Do you think that we may see the Salmon, for example, adapt so that with the climate changing, that if we're not having rain, they'll sort of head back but hold where they are?
Osmond says salmon that can wait for suitable conditions before moving upriver and spawning may pass on that behavior. He has also noticed more multi-sea-winter salmon and fewer grilse in many rivers, though the causes have not been tested with data.
