There's quite a lot around my area, more of the ages between 13 and 25. The younger lot tend to be a lot more clueless but quite a few have been taught by their fathers, brothers etc, so they have some clue. Around here, in terms of the younger anglers, there are two.ends of the spectrum; there are those who come up to you, asking for tips and advice, asking why they're not catching, whether their tackle is appropriate etc. Then there's the other end, there's the ones that have wanted to go fishing and their parents simply go along and buy them Home Bargains "starter fishing kits" which consists of tackle thats just not right for coarse fishing on our waters. There's a group of them that are,what I would say, below the bottom end of the spectrum if I'm honest; they're between 13 and 15 years of age (okay okay go ahead and say "they're only young" but I was certainly a lot more considerate at that age) and they can very quickly ruin a day's fishing; they will go up to anyone and everyone asking if they've caught anything and if you reply "yes" they will stand within a few feet of your peg/spot and (literally) cast right into your.swim, or inches from, then they'll say "oh my lines not over yours its fine". Just downright ignorant little ********s! I've had many a swim ruined by them. I've tried and tried to help them and veer them away from being as they are, but nothing at all is working... But, how are they supposed to know what's right or wrong and the etiquette thag you should have on the banks. There's not enough clubs or fisheries offering coaching sessions, it's all going to continue to be down to fathers, uncles and whatever to show the youngsters what to do.
