I used to hand catch trout when I was a kid, the whole poaching (fot the pot) ethic is one I can really relate to, I used to ejoy taking a brace of rainbows from the Derwent at Hathersage or even a pheasant or rabbit from the woods.
I have eaten everything from Squirrels to meadow ants, I have no fears or hang-ups when it comes to hunting for the pot.
If any of our catfish fisheries fancy hosting a noodling match I will enter, no problems!
