Karl will be working closely with Schools, Colleges, Youth Clubs, Groups and Individuals, Young & Old, Boys & Girls to encourage everyone to learn more about our Rivers, Lakes and Environment and to master the skills of fishing.
With a fantastic track record as a successful Fishery Manager with over 20 years experience under his belt, Karl is an ideal candidate for the job. Karl regularly demonstrates Fly Dressing techniques and Casting Skills across the UK and is still as keen today as when he first started fishing some 37 years ago. He is a fully qualified AAPGAI (Association of Advanced Professional Game Angling Instructors) Instructor and holds all three disciplines, Salmon, Trout & Fly Dressing at Master Level.
Karl will be working closely with the Environment Agency Fisheries, Recreation and Biodiversity teams to deliver a number of angling events throughout the year. As well as the GHOF Module System taster days and open days.
