Can't think why at the age of 19 you would be having trouble.
Some venues require youngsters, usually around 16 to be accompanied by an adult but never known it at 19.
Are you being refused? if so for what reason.

i have problems fishing some areas that i used to fish,mostly because i am the other end of the age scale and knackered so i cant walk to them but i dont understand why anyone aged 19 should have any problems,what kind of problems do you have on these waters? are they club waters with a minimum joining age?

the bloke that ran the water sed that i lacked the responsibility to fish the lake alone and that i culd have disturbed the other anglers if i did, i dnt think it was a club water because i had fished the venue befor with my great uncle

I've just looked at your profile, 'trainee welder', I should think that that eliminates any, (and I don't mean this derogatory), mental illness or great infirmity.

Fishing 'certain venues' obviously means more than one venue, have you asked for any reason. Again not being derogatory, you're not 'known in the area' for causing problems in the past are you, age seems a strange reason to offer as refusal.
