How many of you only ever fish for one species?
In my angling career I have had spells where I have only fished for a single species, or with a single method. Fly fishing for trout comes to mind here as was barbel fishing on the Trent. However after a period of time I have come back to having a bash for them all. For example this year I have caught roach to 1 1/2 lbs, perch to 3lbs 2oz, tench to 6 1/4 lbs, bream to 7 1/4 lbs, carp to 20 1/4 lbs, barbel to 9lbs 2 oz, chub to 4 1/4 lbs, dace to 12oz, trout to 3 1/2lbs and pike to 14 lbs.
A real mixed bag I suppose. I also caught a few exotic species to add to the total.
But I know that some of you only ever fish for one species. My good friend Steve Pope for example, as far as I can see only ever fishes for barbel.
So my question to the single species anglers is simple:
What makes you tick?
