About Craig
At only 6 years of age I graced the shores of Rutland Water, watching my father fishing. A further 5 years passed until I stood on the very same banks casting my first ever flies into the resevoir.
I will never forget my first ever time when my then juvenile heart skipped a beat when the line tightened in my tiny hands for the first time-magical! Its that same excitement and anticipation that has taken me to the heights of my fishing career today.
I have fished for England, Managed the England team too, caught record trout, but most importantly joined a unique group of friends who share the same passion in life – fly fishing!
