game vs course

[Headshot08 36]

Game fishing all the way mate, i course fished for years and years then bought a 35 quid rod and real got givin some flies headed down to my local trout pools and my eyes were opened to how much better fly is than course! GEt your 40 quid and give it a go mate you wont regret it since then i have sold all my course gear for the game gear!

was just wandering what the lure of fly fishing is and why someone would pay such large amounts of money to fish just a couple of species of fish?

You can eat them! Plus, there are no large fees if you find rivers that meet estuaries that are tidal. Edited October 10, 2008 by edjay

£20 will get ye a good days sport rainbow fishing, try using small natural immitative patterns at stocked venues and you'd be surprised the calibre of fish you can catch with a bit of patience. IMO an overwintered fish not only fights better but tastes much better too. After a fish has made the transition from eating pellets to feeding totally natural, makes all the difference.

ar those rainbows in that picure? if so fly fishing is very good but once i tried WILD fly fishing, well that's better still! fishing for wild fish is much harder than firing lures into a stocked fishery where all the trout are idiots! once you've mastered fishry fishing move on to fishing WILD rivers and lakes for WILD brown trout, grayling and sea trout. wild fish are a lot more crafty!

I have had one or two sea-trout,totally wild brownies,and a small number of grayling

come Mackem tell them the rod was a prop.

I have fished for 35 years and have fished pretty much every type of fishing from hand lines, bamboo canes, spears, bow and arrow, all types of rods from whips to 50lb class boat rods, from stickle back nets to gill nets and only recently started fly fishing and I must say it's the best type of fishing there is and by best I mean you get the most out of your fish no matter species it is. It is a very(dare I say it without Mackem slating me)intamate way of fishing and by that I mean you feel every thing the fish does and are in control of its movements unlike most other rod fishing where you use a clutch or drag mechanism, the clutch/drag is your hands.

Fly fishing is very versitile, if you are a fisherman/woman you need it in your life , trust me you won't be disapointed.

I've never seen the atraction in catching small river trout for sport. I was flicking through trout and salmon the other day and they were catching brownies no bigger than your hand. Theres a stream by me that has loads of them in this size, perhaps I should charge folk to fish It, could even show them were there Is some nice spots too that hold a bigger fish or 2

 

Got any good spots edjay on the rivers were you can catch some proper sized fish

[mackem 27,716]

I would never slate you LG,you were once my MEMPHIS(Mark )but the rod wasnt a prop mate,with my sensible head on,for once,your right,fly-fishing is actually calming,tranquil,and a theraputic way to fish

You could easy charge people if you were allowed to fish it I don't think Joe public would be too happy if he were paying a premium to fish and had to do a runner , if you could make a good enough advert for wild brown trout fishing with some pics. The only down fall would be that Mackem and Joe may empty it if you charge too much .
