My name is Phil Pembroke and I write fishing guide books - covering fly, sea and coarse fishing for Spain, France and Portugal. Nothing compares to ordering a pint of Guiness - a favourite drink, in my local Romford bar and nothing compares to a two week holiday spent fishing for carp at my local lake in Dagenham, East London. But the quest continues, to organise more fishing downtime. Fishing Bin El Ouidane lake in Morocco for virgin carp, with friends in 2007 was a wonderful experience. Ice fishing in Poland in 2017 was chilling. I have spent time fishing for Bighead carp in north east China in 2010 and drunk the local whiskey. 2017 is the Chinese year of the Rooster (Gōngjī), the ultimate auspicious symbol signifying luck, romance and personality. May the celestial rooster bring good luck to anglers everywhere they chose to cast a line. My blog has stories from near and far about fishing and travel, plus a few surprises. my website has free fishing maps for all regions of Spain, and a lot of free information about fishing in western and central Europe, Morocco and China: www.spainfishing.com You can get in touch here: philippembroke007@hotmail.com

  1. Hi! I did not know you fished in Poland. I have family there and will be there this summer. Have you fished for trout while there? Do you have any recommendations in southern Poland?

    1. Hi Tyler

      river San, upstream sections where most of valley is bordered by Ukraine – in the extreme south east of Poand. An expert, local guide would advise that you persevere casting into the same pool for a few hours instead of moving about constantly.

      Span for trout last week in the cold, on the Bystra River near Kazimierz Dolny, no luck. Another angler caught four trout the following day, on a different section. Casting upstream, from the bank, over the fishes’ heads. using a small spinner.
