Born in Harrogate, and lived for most of my childhood on the banks of the Wharfe - Collingham and Boston Spa. Started fishing at the age of 10 and caught my
first barbel in 1991 from the Wharfe in Collingham. Only 3.5lb but who cares. Went to Uni in 1993 and stopped fishing for 8 years but returned in 2001 and am
now completely addicted to barbel fishing. In fact I think I may have a problem ;-)
