Mick Brown is one of the most well known and certainly
one of the most enthusiastic anglers in Great Britain.
Over the last twenty years he has become well known
for his written work and photography, and in more
recent times has become a popular television
personality. His influence now extends all across
Europe where he also features in the European angling
press. Although Mick has caught large fish of most
species, he is renowned for his pike catching exploits.
To date he has 284 pike over twenty pounds to his
credit, including 22 over thirty pounds. His pike catches
have been made in many countries and from every type
of water imaginable. In fact he has taken twenty pound
plus pike from more than fifty different waters. Mick's
philosophy is to enjoy every fish that he catches,
whether large or small and regardless of species. It's the
fishing experience that counts.
In 1991 he left his career in engineering to become a
professional predator angler after setting up his
business Mick Brown Angling Services. Combining his
technical and writing skills with his vast angling
experience, he soon became useful to the UK's top
tackle and bait manufacturers. His love of all types of
fishing has led to him being involved in a wide variety of
activities. More recently his passion for fly fishing has
seen him teaming up with his buddy Matt Hayes and
they are busy hatching plans together for some great
fishing trips in 2010. Mick is also consultant to UK
based Dynamite Baits, the leading supplier of anglers
baits in Europe.
Nowadays Mick is perfectly content in his business of
developing new products and ideas for the tackle and
bait industry which means that he gets to make good
use of his engineering background and spend as much
time as possible by the water. Luckily his wife Jan
shares his love of the outdoors and gives him her full
support.
