Sep 6 Casting With Ceri Jones : Ep. 193 Scott Mackenzie

This week's episode I chat with Scott Mackenzie. He is one of the biggest names in fly-fishing. He has had many world record casting achievements, a professional ghillie for over 20 years, caught salmon to over 30lb and has a successful tackle brand which he started back in 2007.

He tells of his journey from when he fished with his dad as a boy in the hill lochs in the Highlands of Scotland and through to the present day and the creation of what many would say the best fly rod on the market, the FX2.

Enjoy!

The Mayfly hatch is due in June, later than most rivers, so still plenty of time to book a trip. On my visit I had lovely browns and rainbows up to 6lb. Great Fishing!

This week I chat with Marina Gibson. She needs no introduction as she is one of the biggest names in our sport. Anyone who knows her will tell you she lives and breathes flyfishing. She is often seen across social media catching many species of exotic fish but it’s fishing for salmon which is her true passion.

Last year she realised one of her pipe dreams and together with her husband Stefan took over the lease of the salmon beat at Bywell on the river Tyne. She talks of her love of Spey casting and along with the positives, the negatives that come with social media.

This week is also an exciting time for her as it’s the launch of her new book Cast, Catch, Release.

Also especially for Patron members she is giving away a signed copy of her book for this week’s competition prize.
