A very new newbie in Argyll

I'm very new to fishing. Only did it a few times as a kid in Ohio. Went bait fishing in a hill loch last week and caught a trout. It tasted good and made me want to catch more.

I'm still trying to figure out what is what. Apparently, I am neither a fly fisher or a coarse fisher, as I would like to catch and eat brown trout. I would be happy to catch any sort of fish, provided I can eat it. I may come to the point of wanting to fly fish or maybe I'll someday see the point of catching a carp and then letting it go. I really don't know, yet, what I'll enjoy doing. The man at the local tackle store is pretty nice about advising me on bait fishing for trout, but I think I'll be very much in the minority around here. Fly fishing is obviously the done thing.

Anyway, I'm reading a lot of stuff on the Internet, trying to learn all I can about fishing, the different types of fishing, and so forth.

A warm welcome to you

welcome

try a barbel on the BBQ if you catch one

Thank you for the warm welcome!

I learn a lot just reading through all the threads. So many new terms to learn!

Tomorrow I will go up to a hill loch with my son to bait fish for trout. I suppose bait fishing trout is *almost* coarse fishing.

Also not coarse fishing - Last night we went to the pier to cast off it. I caught nothing and lost two lures. But, I did spy some beautiful big mussels that should be easy to reach at low tide so there WILL be free seafood in the near future.

Welcome! Lots of friendly folk around here.
