Obsessive Angling Pursuits
Ah, Nick Dunn here—fly fishing mad, if I’m being honest! You know, I still pinch myself when I think about pulling on that England jersey for the Home International Loch Style Comp. Battling it out with Ireland, Scotland, and Wales on their own turf? Pure magic. But 2016... bloody hell, what a year! Captaining the lads to gold on Lough Leane—those peat-stained waters in Kerry—still gives me goosebumps. Best day of my fishing life, bar none.
Been obsessed with a fly rod in my hand since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. Spent more hours than I’d care to admit waist-deep in rivers or perched on some godforsaken bank, but Christ, the places it’s taken me! From the moody lochs up north to bonefish flats that’ll fry your boots off—yeah, I’ve been lucky.
These days? You’ll find me guiding mostly on the big Midlands reservoirs—Rutland, Grafham, Pitsford, the usual suspects. Proper stillwater playgrounds, those. But don’t sleep on the smaller waters like Elinor, either. Perfect spot to sharpen your bank skills without some monster wave trying to steal your sandwich. Doesn’t matter if you’re just starting out or you’ve got leader burns on your fingers from a thousand casts—I’ll meet you where you’re at. Fuss-free tips, a few sneaky methods I’ve picked up over the years, and one guarantee: you’ll leave grinning like a kid who just stuck his first rainbow.
So if you fancy a proper day out—no corporate nonsense, just good fishing and better craic—drop me a line. Let’s get you bent into some proper trout!
