Author Biography
For over 40 years John has been fishing, all types of fishing, deep sea, carp, course, fly and Tenkara. From his home county of Dorset, England to the far flung corners of Asia and South America. Even though John is dyslexic (and the dyslexia hampers his writing process), he is a regular contributor in fishing magazines and forums, a fishing coach, guide and teacher of fly-tying, fly-fishing, Tenkara and all other types of angling. John works with 'Special Needs' anglers so his approach is to break things down into their most simple parts, then use those parts as starting blocks to build on.
