Neil joined the West of England Tournament Casting Club at the age of 15 where he was coached by one of the worlds top casters, Simon Gawesworth, and went on to take part in various competitions across the country and in Europe.
Over the years Neil has fished for salmon, sea trout , trout, grayling, carp, pike, perch, bass and mullet and he is just as at home fishing a small moorland stream as he is fishing a large man made reservoir.
