Hello
I'm Mark 47yrs old and for the last year or so I decided to take up fishing.
I did try fishing when I was younger but wasn't that good at it. Now I've decided to take up the sport again and therefore looking at purchasing some rods, tackle etc. I thought of starting with a float rod and doing mainly Stillwater’s but my intention is to progress on to rivers and streams. I would love to go Barble fishing but I need some experience first. I live in the Cheshire area so I'm spoilt for choice with fishing venues etc. I now need to decide on what rod to purchase as the different makes, lengths of rods, type of reels and fishing line looks confusing. Are there any good books that I should be reading or DVD's etc, advice on what to look for would be welcome?
Not joined any clubs yet but there are two that I know of in my area. I'm surprised that quite a few clubs have a waiting list, didn't expect that.
I will be seeking advice if that O.K from the members of this forum.
Thanks
Mark
