Welcome to the Mac Fishes outdoor blog!

Welcome to Mac Fishes! I’m Makai Macdonald, the fishing fanatic who practically grew up with a rod in hand—first in the rivers and lakes of the Lake District, now along the salty shores of Brighton, and occasionally in the wilds of Wales. Here, you’ll find my best tips, tricks, tutorials, and gear reviews, along with the odd fish tale (or two) from my travels.

From my early days wading into rivers to tempt trout with a fly, to my current obsession with kayak fishing for bass, I’ve picked up a fair share of techniques—and a few stories worth sharing.

Whether you’re a seasoned angler, a curious beginner, or just someone who loves a good outdoor adventure, I hope you’ll feel right at home.
