THE ULTIMATE ANGLING BUCKET LIST

Podcast Interview 74: Justin Anwyl Bass Fly Fishing Part 2: Recorded in 2012. Though popular in
the USA, saltwater fly fishing is still in its infancy in the UK. Here, in a 2 part interview, Chichester
bass fly fishing guide Justin Anwyl gives a very detailed and all-inclusive insight into the subject from
the British perspective.
Podcast Interview 75: Simon Clarke, Wels Catfish: Recorded in 2012. Despite being an alien
species, unlike zander, wels catfish have been welcomed by coarse specimen hunters, tempered by the
fact that they have not exploded throughout the UK in the same way that the zander did. Catfish
Conservation Group secretary Simon Clarke explores their history, habitat, and feeding requirements,
and most important of all, how to catch them successfully on rod and line both in the UK and on the
continent.
Podcast Interview 76: Roger Beer, Conger: Recorded in 2012. To catch a conger in excess of fifty
pounds from the shore is incredible. To catch a conger in excess of one hundred pounds from the boat
is equally so. To actually catch both would be amazing. Here Devon angler Roger Beer, the only angler
ever to have achieved this feat, talks about all things conger, particularly catching them from the shore.
Podcast Interview 77: Peter Arlott, Kennet River keeper: Recorded in 2012. The Aldermaston Mill
day ticket stretch of the River Kennet has been in the Arlott family for many years. Here river keeper
Peter Arlott talks about the many problems the Kennet and other rivers in the vicinity currently face
from water shortages, predation, and alien species. He also discusses fishing for quality barbel.
Podcast Interview 78: Ian Gaskell, Fly Fishing Competitions: Recorded in 2012. Ian Gaskell,
winner of the Lexus European fly fishing championship at Chew Valley gives a no holds barred detailed
explanation of all aspects of competitive fly fishing using the loch style approach from a drifting boat.
Podcast Interview 79: Chris Ball, Surface Carp Fishing: Recorded in 2012. Carp historian and
legendary surface feeding carp stalker Chris Ball discusses his favourite subject covering everything
from tackle and tactics through to baits and feeding.
Podcast Interview 80: Kathy Barco, Florida Fisheries Commision: Recorded in 2012. Florida Fish
and Wildlife Commission chairman Kathy Barco explains how state funded organisation has restored
its coastal fish stocks from a very low ebb some years ago to a level which now supports a multi-billion
dollar sport fishery, allowing it to justifiably call itself the sport fishing capital of the world.
Podcast Interview 81: Wayne Comben, Rays: Recorded in 2012. Langstone small boat angler
Wayne Comben talks about the tackle and tactics required to catch his favourite fish, rays, five species
of which he has caught on several occasions all in the same day.
Podcast Interview 82: Prof. Gerd Masselink, Coastal Engineering: Recorded in 2012. Quite often,
shorelines and their fish holding features, plus water’s edge conditions for small boat launching are the
result of work done by coastal engineers. Sometimes these can be beneficial, while on other occasions
less so. Here Professor Gerd Masselink discusses specific engineering features and their potential
effects on sea angling, using examples from Blackpool and Morecambe as specific case studies.
Podcast Interview 83: Margatet Owen, Haaf Netter: Recorded in 2012. As always, there are two
sides to every debate, and so far as salmon and sea trout are concerned, anglers think that commercial
netsmen are responsible for taking far too many fish. Here salmon Haaf netter Margaret Owen talks
about the sustainability of her fishing in the estuary of the River Lune.
Podcast Interview 84: Martin James, Life Story Part 1: Recorded in 2012. While angling journalist
and broadcaster Martin James may well have originated in Kent, as the voice behind BBC Radio
Lancashire's At The Waters Edge, he is well known to many throughout the North West for his probing
interviews. Here, in a reversal of roles, he is on the receiving end of the questions, looking back over
his long and varied angling career.
