WORDS

We speak to Timmy on a regular basis, about everything from counting macros and food prep, to cameras, to carp, to camping trips with the family - not only is Timmy a ninja in a little inflatable armed with a handful of tigers, but he's one of carp fishing's true good guys as well! Flick the kettle on, and enjoy the words and pics

There are few people shooting the carp game that are perhaps more experienced, prolific or accomplished than Oli. With a deeply held passion for making, and sharing imagery, and also for staying true to his vision of what that looks like, there are few equals. We caught up and asked him some tech questions, and also got an insight into what makes him tick (and click!)

A reminder that no matter how bad things get, fishing will always be there, and also a reminder that positivity and keeping the faith has more power than perhaps anything... make a tea and kick back for a lovely little read from our good mate Louis - aka Berny

At just 23 years old, Robbie’s album, and attitude belies his young years – an ‘old head on young shoulders’ is how I’ve heard him described – or the ‘baby-faced assassin’ as Sammy likes to call him – which I’ve no doubt he’ll hate. A typically understated and no frills northern lad, he has worked hard to carve out the time, and money, to be able to travel and fish for some of the finest in the land over the last few years; a 360-mile round trip away from his home in north Manchester – if you want it badly enough, you’ll make it happen – and Robbie is proof of that.

Dan Kilgour's name is synonymous with a couple of things, namely big hits of nuts and seeds and also catching big under the radar ones from difficult low stock waters around the valley. If you’ve ever wondered about the mechanics of prepping and priming an area, here’s a technical insight into exactly how Dan goes about it.

One of our favourite little short stories. A gem of a tale, told in a unique and original style by our Scandinavian friend Jon Skold. Fire up the kettle and soak it in, and think about this one next time you're complaining about the UK winter! Enjoy

Si Croft relives a tale from the edge... 'A phone call later and Shaun was at my side as we lowered her onto the mat. Big plates of bronze on a backdrop of polished chestnut. How old? Older than me I’m sure. How big? Who cares. One last photo; one last look; a wave; a handshake; a thank you; a smile. What’s not to love?'

He may be a master of the ‘pig-skins’, but my old man is by no means a master of angling, in fact he’s crap, and I had no desire to...

Still one of the best angling stories ever written, in our humble opinion. As good as Yates, Hearn, Hutchy ... any of 'em. Perhaps even better. make a tea, kick back, and enjoy

A chance conversation with Ryan via email about the Sub Sounds mixes led to us soundtracking some of our editing with some of his. We shot him some questions, about his fishing, and his mixing, and grabbed a few photos and put a little interview together for you. Check it! 

A beautiful, and quite extraordinary little Christmas tale from Tom Stokes. Fire up the kettle, kick back, and enjoy the story - it's a proper read. It's a special one this, taken from our sold out Issue 2 Journal, published back in 2014. Enjoy!

Our good friend Tommy De Cleen relives a great little spell of angling, on a great little set of lakes targeting a big old slate grey mirror. Make a tea, kick back, and enjoy!
