How many of you on this web site are all round anglers?
I classify myself as an all round angler because in the course of a year I will fish for all our main species when I get the chance, using a wide variety of methods. I'm also a bit of a traditionalist in that at certain times of the year I will be after the species of fish best suited to those times. A bit like Mr Crabtree I suppose.
For example June and July means tench. August, perhaps bream, or I might have a bash in the sea. September and October - barbel. But I will also start pike fishing in October. January and Febrary and I'm mainly after roach, chub and grayling. The first two weeks of March - probably pike, or if it's mild I may be after barbel again.
April and I am out with fly rod in hand for trout.
I am told that all round anglers are a dying race.
Are you an all-rounder?
