Well It's taken a couple of years, hundred of miles traveled , sleepless nights and a few time going green on boats but I've finally caught 100 different species of fish in the UK with this stunning Comber marking number 100! Thanks to everyone who's helped me along the way.

Recently I came across a very rare goby the couch's goby! They look quite similar to black gobies but have a more narrow head.

A fish I don't get to see much of these days is the stone loach, I'm sure they are still about just take a bit more hard work to find when I'm poking around rocks in the river.

I had the pleasure of fishing & making a film with Hugh Miles which will be out in a month as we did a species challenge together seeing how many different fish we could catch in a day. He kindly signed my copy of passion for angling and gave me a copy of catching the impossible!

With autumn creeping up for me that means one thing, predators! As the water cools off pike and in this case zander start to put on the weight for winter.
