Andy's Angling Profile
Age:
38

Medium size river
Favourite Angler:
It's gotta be John Wilson for his whole outlook on fishing as an enjoyable life, not just a sport.
Most memorable catch:
1st ever carp I caught at Pig Lane weir at night. My night float just disappeared and I didn't know what'd hit me! Fantastic! Around 9 - 10lb - what a fish!
Favourite fish:
Tench
Favourite fishing method:
Trotting a medium paced river or surface fishing with floating bait (bread flake or dog biscuit).
Best Rod:
13ft Drennan Match Rod
Most enjoyable fishing session:
Trip with Aaron to Home Farm Fishery which ended up such a success on floating bread flake we had a competition, who could catch the most carp in the final 3 hours – great fun (and of course I won!).
