Daniel O’Neill
Daniel is an avid UK angler with over fourteen years of fishing experience. From battling the mighty beluga sturgeon in Poland, tackling double-figure pike in Lough Erne and playing the famous Irish Atlantic Salmon, I have fishing experience in all forms.
His angling journey started when his father introduced me to fly fishing for rainbow trout in stocked lakes. Since then, he’s cast his lines in waters around the world, continually seeking the next adventure and pursuing the next big catch.
Daniel currently runs Northern Ireland Fishing, where he highlights ethical and conservation angling practices. Additionally, he has a personal brand, Silver Fins Fishing, where he dives deeper into his own stories and catches.
Furthermore, he has participated in north coast cleanup initiatives, that aim to preserve our waterways for a more sustainable future.
Carp Specialist
Lee Stokes
Lee is a UK based angler who has 30 years angling experience, learning the basics through trial and error methods. As a child fishing canals and small still water ponds it soon became apparent he enjoyed catching specimen size fish of all species. The natural progression for him was carp angling!
In more recent years his adventurous nature has seen his love of angling take him to Europe, exploring mainly rivers and canal systems in search of uncaught giants!
Lee’s passion for angling has followed him into his professional career where he’s worked side by side with National organisations such as Natural England and the Wildlife Trust to improve SSSI habitats for a number of Midland sites. Nature and wildlife is a huge part of his life and being out there submerged in nature has become his second home.
Traditional hard work and watercraft is at the heart of his angling whilst introducing specific items of modern angling tech has definitely helped him achieve some amazing results in his time spent on the bank.
