I am very fortunate to have fished in many places around the World. My competition fishing has taken me to Italy, New Zealand, Sweden, Australia, Finland, Belgium, Slovakia, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Norway, Ireland and Portugal. Thanks to my record at World Championship level, I have also been invited to host fly fishing clinics in Tasmania, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA. It is wonderful meeting anglers from other continents and helping them to improve their fly fishing skills.

Last saturday we had a sell-out Lexus Teams Heat on Chew and 217 trout were caught by the 66 competitors. Top Rod was A...

More big Chew fish! Posted on April 1, 2015. Guided pike fly fishing. The new Season is now well underway but recently the weather has spoilt the fishing - which up to now has been fantastic.

That makes it a 40 and a 30 to my boat this season - and Chew has only been open for 2 weeks! Lexus European Flyfishing Championships. Follow John's blog t...

Fishing Profile and Achievements. This season is my 22nd year as a Professional Fishing Guide.
