Amongst the poeple I fished with Baz, specimen/specialist or matchman, keenets were never an issue. Even when they were knotted string.
My point about singling people out can illustrated with this example -
Take all the anglers in England and Wales (the Licence holders). 1.5 - 2,000,000?
Aks them to split between those who approve of the use of keepnets and those who don't.
Now ask them to split between those who want to keep the close season and those who don't.
Again - those who approve of barbed hooks, those who don't.
Again - those who approve of 'commercial' waters and those who don't.
Again - those who only fish the float and those who don't.
Again - those who bivvy up and sleep and those who don't.
Again - those fish with bloodworm and those who want it banned.
Pick another 40 or so issues -
Pretty soon you find you are by your own, on your self. All alone and everyone else is pointing at you!
Now do you think they should be more tolerant?
Each day and night I pass a pub called the 'Live and Let Live', honest! Now there's a lesson for all.
