I don't catagorise myself under any banner, choosing to fish a variety of methods as and when the mood takes me. But over the last 10 years or so, the number of Carp fishermen on my club waters has increase dramatically to the point where float and feeder fishing is dying out on some lakes, despite the presence of a good head of quality 'match' fish like Tench and Bream.
With the growing popularity of Carp fishing, am I alone in thinking that match fishing as well as float and feeder fishing in general, are in danger of becoming marginalised as most of the youngsters coming into the sport seem only interested in buying buzzers and baitrunners?
I don't fish matches but wonder what the knock on effects would be for matches if this trend continues. Where will the sport be in another 10 or 20 years?
