I chat to TV angling star Matt Hayes who is one the most recognised names in British angling having been on TV for more than 20 years and appeared in over 200 programmes. Whether he’s on his solo adventures or paired up with Mick Brown he’s programs are widely regarded as some of the best angling tv programmes made with the great rod race, lake escapes and total fishing being highlights. I speak Matt about his start in angling tv, how its changed over the years and how salmon fishing has taken up a lot of his time in recent years along with quick fire questions at the end like favourite fish, venue and methods.
