A big congratulations to Thomas Adamson (in the middle with the envelope) for getting a place in next years England Youth International Team at the Youth National last week at Pitsford.
Also a big well done to the other lads in this years Talent Pathway for doing the North proud ...I have high expectations for these young lads going forward and they are all a credit to fly fishing.
In March I was appointed by the
Angling Trust to be a Head Coach for the Northern Region (North East, North West, Yorkshire & Humberside) of the Talent Pathway Programme and am personally delighted that we have managed to get an early success in the Northern pilot scheme.
This year the 2012/13 programme is being rolled out across all regions in Game, Coarse & Sea angling disciplines so keep an eye out all you talented young anglers out there for the 2012/13 selection dates at a fishery near you.
I will also be providing updates through the DFFCo News Blog.

A fanatical fly fisherman and licensed coach who has been lucky to have fished with some great fishermen in many fantastic places around the world.
The North of England and Scottish Borders are very special places and have some beautiful and fantastic waters to fly fish.
I'm still learning the craft after more than 40years and I hope the flyfishing journey will never end.
