Fly-fishing Tuition and Guiding Services

From a small boy casting for rainbow trout on the banks of the Eglwys Nunydd Reservoir - with a simple home-made rod and Rimfly reel - to renowned international fly-fisherman and Lough Corrib catch record holder, Ceri Jones’ fly-fishing career spans over 30 years. Years which have seen him him expertly fish the reservoirs of Wales and England, the mighty glacier-fed rivers of Iceland, and the rivers and lakes of Finland, Sweden and Switzerland. All in pursuit of his beloved wild brown trout.

Ceri offers fly-fishing tuition and guiding services in Ireland & Wales, 1-2-1 and small groups.

Had a blast with these two guys recently. Teaching comedians, Joe Wilkinson and Alex Brooker to flyfish, filming at Garnffrwd for Channel 4 new series 'Hobbyman'
If you missed it can be seen on www.channel4.com episode 2.
Top guys!

Ceri Jones casting at Lake Llyn Fawr, Llyn Fawr - or 'Big Lake' - is one of two lakes at the foot of Craig y Llyn, above the head of the Rhondda Valley, Wales.

““Knowing the waters, reading the conditions, selecting the right equipment, choosing the right moment to change tactics or knowing when to stick with it. This is the fly-fishing knowledge that separates those who catch from those who don’t get a take.

With over 35 years experience on riverbanks and boats, all across the waters of Europe, a tuition or guiding session with me is an investment well worth making.

Whether you are a beginner or an improver, or just fancy a relaxing day on the riverbank with plenty of fishing chat and one to one tuition, a few hours with me and you’ll have them hitting the back of the net in no time.”

Casting With Ceri Jones : Ep. 201 Brad Gair
Casting With Ceri Jones : Ep. 201 Brad Gair

This week's episode I chat with my youngest guest to date and recent member to the Patreon Channel Brad Gair.

At only 22 years of age he has a fierce passion for the sport and especially the competition scene. He has 2 youth International Scottish caps to his name and fishes for the Balfron Piscatorials who have done well in both the Airlo and Greys Championships this season.

It was a real pleasure and encouraging to chat with someone with such a love for flyfishing at a young age.

Summer moon rising over Lough Corrib..... This week's podcast episode is an anniversary one, it has been one year since its launch, during that time there has been 48 episodes and just under 20,000 listeners. Really enjoyed it and lots more to come. So what better time to tell my story of the Lough Corrib Record Trout. My passion for Ferox and how it all started, and the journey leading up to my record catch. I talk of my dedication and the hours, weeks, months and years I have spent on the lough fishing, learning and understanding the behavior and feeding habits of the ferox. I also go on to talk about taxidermy and the cased fish in the bars in the West of Ireland. Hope you enjoy this one as much as I did making it..... enjoy! ***** See link in bio *****
