Had a natter with some of my club members last night and one of the discussions centred upon whether fishing rivers or stillwaters produced the more skillful angler. While most of my own fishing is done on still waters I accept a different range of skills and watercraft is required to fish a river successfully. Is the carp or tench specialist therefore less of an angler than the barbel man because he has to master the whims of the river as well? Dont stillwater anglers have problems like undertow and finding feeding spots to overcome? It was suggested by one friend that an angler experienced on a river could easily adapt to fishing a lake but not visa versa? What does everyone else think? I will admit to being more comfortable on lakes and regard accomplished river anglers with a deal of respect but is that feeling justified?
