About Phil

              Monster bleak are frequently caught from Spain's Ebro River

My name is Phil Pembroke and I write fishing guide books - covering fly, sea and coarse fishing in 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 Ben El Quidaine lake in Morocco for virgin carp, with friends in 2007 was a wonderful experience. To learn more about my Morocccan carp fishing adventure read my blog by clicking here.

I have spent time fishing for Bighead carp in north east China in 2010 and drunk the local whiskey. 2011 will be the Chinese year of the Rabbit (xin mao means delicious cat) and I'll be in touch with the Asda butcher to see if they can rustle up a few choice cuts.


My blog has fishing and travel stories from near - Spain, and far - China. http://spainfishing.com/blog/

My webpage has a sister, Facebook page containing some fantastic fishing photos and stories from around the world, click here to view it.

I have put my extensive experience of fishing abroad to good use by making available to the reader free downloadable fishing maps of Spain.
