We often have debates regarding favourite species, but this time I want to ask you what your favourite method of fishing is and why?
Another way of looking at it would be to ask yourself what would be the method you would choose if you were to be restricted to one style of fishing for the rest your life?
For me, it is fly fishing because quite honestly, to become really proficient requires a great deal of practical manipulative skill that is not learned overnight. There is also the skills required to tie effective artificials because you get far more pleasure out of catching a fish on a fly you have devised and dressed yourself, than a pattern bought at a shop.
So what do you think?
