Chris Ryan
General Manager, Buyer & Catalogue Manager
I joined Sportfish in 1999 from American tackle giant Orvis. I was the retail manager of the Sportfish Reading store during its building, setting up and early years. I relocated to the Sportfish at Winforton in 2003.
I am lucky enough to have fished many of the rivers and loughs in Ireland and I am the resident expert on Irish Salmon and Sea-Trout fishing. I also have an unrivalled passion for big game spinning with light tackle.

I have been fishing for over 40 years, and have travelled the world in pursuit of many species of fish. I have visited Arctic Russia and North America chasing salmon and have enjoyed saltwater fly fishing in destinations such as Cuba, Venezuela and North Carolina.

Steve Hunt
Technical Sales Advisor
I would describe myself as an all-round angler, but I am happiest with a fly rod in my hand. I have been lucky to fish a number of destinations over the years; Cuba, Belize, Australia and Norway to name but a few, however I still have one or two destinations on my to-do list these include the Seychelles and Russia. Prior to working at Sportfish I served my country in the Armed Forces.

Josh Bunning
Sales Advisor
I joined Sportfish in July 2019 and am an all-round trout angler who focuses mainly on river fishing for wild brown trout and the occasional salmon in the UK. That said, in the summer of 2025 I enjoyed the trip of a lifetime fishing for Arctic char in Greenland.
