I first spoke to Simon Holme 3 or so years ago after he phoned me for some advice about how to go about working in the fishing industry.

His tenacity  meant he landed his first job as a guide in Iceland and after that he booked himself a flight to New Zealand where he has spent time living in a van and fishing the crystal clear rivers for trout.

I talk with him about his experience as a guide, the fishing he has encountered on his travels and what he has learnt about himself as an angler and person.

Still in his twenties he is a wonderful advert for the future of our pastime.
