Not just another book of everything that's been repeated time
after time but the true sessions by the very respected THEO.
Theo has been an angler since he was a kid over 45 years ago.
In that time his enthusiasm and passion for all things fishing
has seen him grow in stature and indeed confidence in his
ability to put a few things on the bank.
For many years he just bobbed along enjoying the moment until a
spark ignited deep inside that told him to put down the beer and
think about catching fish.
He is quite a solitary angler who spends a lot of time fishing
alone or with just a close freinds,however if you talk to him
about our wonderful past time you will be surprised by his
warmth and openness.
His days on the bank has always been a balancing act between
work commitments,family and singing in a band and on a personal
level fishing has been leveller and provided solace when life
has been unjust and unkind.
The book is Theos journey through his fishing life and makes its
way from humble beginings to Framptom Court and many of our
countries rivers,lakes and ponds even The Birch.
Packed full of stunning photos and anglers such as dave Gawthorn
and Gary Wade.
Every book comes with its own signed certificate.

Well done to all who fished - good angling boys.
especially the Welsh lads who overcame a generally sh*t draw and what was at one point a 150 lb odd deficit.
Thanks to all the marshals - especially Chris who was head marshal, and who like myself stayed there for the whole 48 hrs (minus a few life saving trips home) but being in charge he had a harder time of it than most.
This is a place that has to be
seen to be believed and to fully understand the true
beauty of it all. Hidden away out
of sight, with locked gates for the security of our
syndicate members.
We have one of the most magnificent and amazing lake in
Wales. So fantastic to
look at that it becomes increasingly overwhelming just
standing there.
Every peg has many a story to tell. There are carp in
here with nicknames that carp anglers are longing to get
on the end of their line or just to get a close look at.
When you catch a carp here, that's enough to make your
day and you start to wonder what the next session will
bring.
Every fish here is in perfect condition. You just have
to see them to truly appreciate how well they are looked
after.
Not only are
there carp, but you will find some large bream, it is
not yet confirmed what the bream have grown to as yet
but you can be sure they will be high singles to lower
double figures.
Pike are also to be found in the
Birch reaching double figures, fish of over 20lb are
being caught (2010). They are beasts and just like the
carp, they will give you a good run for your money.
Remember it is a syndicate water so for any more info
please use the contact page and have a chat to Martin.
