About the Author

Hi, I'm James, the founder of Fishing Field Fork. I'm an angler, camper, and open fire BBQ cook, and to be honest, I reckon the best meals are always the ones you've earned under the open sky. What started as a simple love for fly fishing on lakes, reservoirs, and hidden trout streams quickly turned into a proper outdoor lifestyle.

For me, a brilliant day on the water just isn't complete without pitching camp next to my Royal Enfield or the van and cooking up a proper feast on a BBQ. I set this site up to try and give you the real deal, everything i have tried and liked, so hopefully you will to.

Whether I’m putting gear through its paces in unpredictable British weather, showing off a few rustic catch-and-cook recipes, or hitting the road to find independent farm shops and proper local food spots, this is just my genuine look at what works.

When I’m not writing, you’ll find me looking for new waters, tracking down the best regional ingredients around the UK, or just sitting by the fire with a beer or cider.

See you out in the wild!

Meet The Crew

Hey! We are James and friends, the faces behind Fishing Field Fork. We started this site because we were sick of outdoor blogs treating food like an afterthought, and food blogs that never leave the city. We wanted a place that covers the whole journey from the lake, river, or sea, straight to the campfire.

The Story So Far

We’ve been fishing on and off for over 25 years, and if there is one major thing we’ve learned, it’s this: we are still learning, and we’re still not experts! But to us, that is the true beauty of it. You don’t need to be a professional to love the water. For us, it’s all about the escape, the patience, and the pure joy of simply being out there and giving it a go.

The Fishing

It’s all about chasing the best local fishing spots, learning the quirks of the water, and sharing the honest, unfiltered highs and lows of the hobby. Whether I'm casting lines or just enjoying the peace, it's about the pure experience of the catch.

"You don't have to be a master angler to have a master class day on the water."

The Field

We love exploring local spots, setting up camp, and completely disconnecting for a while. Sometimes I’m roughing it in a traditional tent alongside my Royal Enfield motorcycle; other times, I’m enjoying the cozy comfort of my Fiat campervan.

The Fork

Food simply tastes better outside. I’m passionate about tracking down fresh, local produce and ingredients from the specific areas I visit, then cooking them up from scratch over the BBQ or a camp fire.

Real, Honest Reviews

Part of the fun of being a lifelong learner is trying out new gear. From rods and reels to camp stoves and gadgets, we are always testing out new products and equipment. I’ll always give you my 100% honest, no nonsense opinion on what works, what doesn't, and what's actually worth your hard earned money.

Thanks for stopping by. Grab a seat by the bbq or grill, check out the latest posts, and let’s enjoy the learning curve together!

Thanks James | Fishing Field Fork
