Fishing and Foraging Wales

My name is Matt Powell. I am a chef, forager and saltwater bass lure angling guide.

​

Fishing and foraging Wales and Welsh bass guide were created to bring all of my passions together. Bass lure angling, hunting for wild edibles and food.

​

I was born in Wales, but I spent many years working outside my beloved country working in the best culinary establishments I could. I moved back to Wales to create something unique and something that was culturally important to Wales for now and for the future.

​

For my food creations, I only use produce from Wales. The biggest percentage comes from Pembrokeshire. The county I love, live and work in.

​

Fishing and foraging Wales & Welsh bass guide are simple concept's.

​

I want to bring the best experience that my skills and the Welsh coast can offer. An offering of the things I can share with other people, to try and express and put across a sense of feeling and of place.

​

Experience and a feel what anyone’s local area should yield to them and maybe what our ancestors may have felt in days past where the seasons and hunting and gathering were so important.

​

I want to share with you the places in Wales where you can really escape and leave behind the hardships of the fast-paced lives which most of us face in today’s modern, sometimes crazy and hectic world.

​

The places where you can truly get away from it all and reflect and relax…..

​

I am a fully qualified and insured bass angling guide.

​

I am the first and only qualified saltwater angling guide with Natural resources Wales and the wild fishing Wales guiding qualification scheme.

​

I have been fishing for bass on the Welsh coast since my late teens.

​

Again from the age of around 17, I worked in varied Michelin starred restaurants to glean my skills and to become the best chef I could be.

​

I learned a great deal about foraging for wild plants at a young age from being out in the countryside and from my grandparents.

​

The smell of the gorse flowers and the sound of the Skylarks take me back to the days I spent with them, and hark back to my younger days.

 

I hope my website here at Welsh bass guide will inspire you to one day come and join me on my wonderful journey.
