As a follow up to Seth Tuson’s  fascinating talk at the River Torridge Fishery Associations AGM I asked him to send me a few words. Young anglers are essential if future generations are to enjoy the waterside as we have done and they need all the support and encouragement we can give.

I Qualified for the England youth team in September 2016, at Grafham water. This meant I became part of a team that would fish at International competition at llyn Brenig in Wales the following summer. In the final competition England came second to Scotland with Wales in third and Ireland in 4th. In September last year I re-qualified at Draycote water where this years international will be held in August. It has been an amazing experience and I have developed my skills far past where I ever expected I would, to help fund my fishing I also sell my flies that I tie at £1.20 each these include a wide range of modern lures nymphs and dries as well as some classics.
