Tom Fort started fishing with his two older brothers when he was a lad growing up near Reading. He has since managed to fish through most of Europe, Russia, Scandinavia, Africa and South America.

Between fishing trips Tom spent 22 years working for the BBC in Radio news. He has since left to pursue his other interests, namely writing several books, spending time with his wife and five children and going fishing.
