angling tips, fishing tackle and catch reports
Andy started fishing at an early age, under the watchful eye of father, Ian. Born in Northumberland, his stomping grounds included the Tyne and its tributaries, where he could often be found tossing a small MEPPS upstream in search of seatrout and salmon.
