About Me

Ivan Currie
To say I love angling is an understatement. I guess being brought up within site of the River Bann in N.Ireland meant it was always to be my chosen sport. I remember the roach explosion (along with many other explosions) on the Bann, it was transformed overnight and in turn saw many top english anglers like Ian Heaps, Kevin Ashurst and Kenny Collins to name but a few fishing the popular spring matches around Portadown that saw huge nets of roach and bream more than satisfy the visiting anglers. I left N.Ireland in 1974 and joined the Royal Navy serving in submarines (had to get closer to the fish) until 1978, I settled in Bristol and have been happily married to Julie for 43 years. On leaving the Navy I became a Postman and immediately joined the Bristol PO Angling Club and performed the role of Secretary for 15 years, during this time and beyond I was the Treasurer of the Bristol and West of England Anglers Federation. I have been a member of Clevedon and District Freshwater Angling Club since 2008, in January 2018 I became the Secretary. I fish various Leagues in the West of England. I am a member of Sensas Nomads Match Team.
