Killing two birds with one stone and making the most of every opportunity by fishing the River Severn in Wales — Interviewing Jack Edwards as he signs his first professional contract

With the cost of living increase in general and fuel in particular, I have to justify some journeys these days.

The time when I would travel a long distance just for a relatively short session has long since gone.

When I’m in the area though and all it takes is getting up a few hours earlier, well that’s different.

It was a glorious morning, as I made my way across a field to the Severn.

I’m definitely looking forward to the winter when I’ll be chub fishing after dark but that’s then and this is now.
