Ceri Jones is a passionate fly-fisherman, professional photographer and holder of the Lough Corrib Ferox Trout Record [23lb 12oz].
The Casting with Ceri Jones podcast is the story of Ceri’s career, the days, weeks and years spent casting from boats and riverbanks. Tales of the catches, the tackle, the lakes, the rivers, the ones that were landed and the ones that got away.
Interviews on location and in the studio, with fellow fishermen, gillies, boatmen, friends, champions and fisheries managers. There will be tackle reviews, venue guides and even the winding yarn of the Big Corrib Catch.
So pull up a chair, settle back, relax and enjoy an uninterrupted hour of fishing talk. Because as Ceri always says “The next best thing to being out fishing … is talking about it”

This week I chat with Craig Barr. He talks of his plans for the coming season and of his recent appointment with Greys. In this episode he tells everything you need to know when fishing Rutland Water early season and into spring. Places to fish, flies to use and methods which will bring you success. The Ultimate Guide you could say from an angler who has fished it for over 40 years.
This week I travelled up to the Cotswolds to chat with Tim Small at Lechlade and Bushyleaze. Tim opened its doors to the public over 50 years ago and today Lechlade is known as one of the leading big fish waters in the country. He talks of how it all started back in the mid 70s and tells of what goes on behind the scenes and how things have changed, especially the fishing season due to global warming.
In his own words 'it's not all moonlight and daisies'.
Enjoy!
Hi Guys, for this week’s podcast episode and the first one of 2024 I talk about winter tactics on the Stillwater scene. Both fishery and reservoir hints and tips to help get you success out of these cold and short winter sessions. What to look for, areas, patterns and methods, plus I tell of my experiences which can turn those difficult days into ones to remember catching double figure rainbows and feisty tigers.
Hi guys, I hope you all had a great Christmas and enjoyed listening to Part 1 of my Christmas Podcast. There were so many guests and episodes in the last 12 months, I had to split it into two. I had a blast recording each and every one of them and made new friends along the way and hope you enjoyed listening as much as I enjoyed making them? So once more sit back and relax and listen to my chats with guests of 2023.
Happy New Year!
Ceri

This week's episode I chat with Dennis Williams an 88 year old fly fisherman from South Wales. He took me on my first day’s boat fishing as a young boy to Chew Valley lake. He was at the forefront of nymph and buzzer fishing back in the late 70s. He has fished with many great anglers back in the day notably Arthur Cove and Arthur Oglesby. He still fishes Chew and Rutland every season. He chats about seasons and anglers past and his love for the sea trout of South America and the salmon of Alaska.
This week's episode I chat with Gareth Dixon, one of the most successful competition anglers in rescent years and a team member with the Welsh Hawks. As well as a passionate competition angler he is known by many as the face behind Llyn Clywedog. I chat with him at the new lakeside lodge at Clywedog. He talks of his background, his love of Clywedog and the competition scene, and tells us his top methods, lines and flies which has brought him so much success including getting individual gold at the Angling Water final at Rutland Water last season.
