About Katie Watkinson

The obsession started over 10 years ago when I landed my first double figure carp and I still love it. It always has and always will be my way of escaping and switching off from day to day life. I started off by fishing small farm lakes in Wales and I sent my catch reports into Carp Talk. Subsequently I got approached by both a tackle and bait company who really helped light the fire within. I now feel extremely privileged to be part of the Mainline team and have always been a big fan of Cell. I now predominantly spend my time fishing short sessions on a large boating lake in the Lea Valley which holds some very special big commons.

 

I have written a few articles for the Korda website and have also had a number of magazines features and covers. I'm a consultant for Korda and recently filmed Thinking Tackle with Danny Fairbrass. Being very active on social media means I've also gained a large following to my day-to-day work, social and of course angling life.
