Are all anglers taken up with self interest, carp puddles and speci lakes???
Why are so few interested in local rivers? Whats wrong with a bit of brain testing work?
Dont get me wrong, im all for diversity within Angling and im partial to a puddle or two. even the odd pit.
But surely its about stealth and the challange? the variety of spercies and the wildlife?
Im into a bit of sea fishing and fly, but course angling is my scene. with so much empethis on rivers and the environment, Why is it i only seem to come across a few river specialist and a huge majority of carp Anglers?
Is it a regional thing?
is it ME?
there is so much to learn from our small rivers. Ok you may not Bag up, but to me its the thrill and the challenge, the stalking and targetting an indivdule fish.
Yes im happy to bag up on Bream. But a River, thinking , working, plying the game, even if i blank, provides me with more satisfaction.
picking litter, clearing debris & vehicle parts. managing the habitats above & bellow the water, provide me and the few with a sense of achivement, satisfaction and looking back over a once dirty stretch that is now 100% clear, can be no better way to end a day or improve the quality of fish , from a river that you and your collegues have cleaned.
One day im matrch fishing, baging up on mixed species, then its Carp all the Way. i like carp , within the right context. i miss the mixed bags, the character of a river or lake.
Why is it so many neglect the river or stream?
why are so few ready to clean up & protect our future sport/pastime. yet so many abuse or show no interest in a rivers wildlife environment?
