Where ever I look these, including letters in the angling press and chat I hear in tackle shops, the subject inevitably turns to what they call: "The sorry state of the Trent".
I truly can't understand these people, and the moans are not just from match anglers either.
The truth is that for myself I have never enjoyed my angling as much in my whole life as when I have been on this great river. Not only have I caught lots of barbel to double figures, but excellent chub, roach and bream.
One of these whingers told me that he had spent all summer fishing near Newark without as much as a single bite. He reckoned that the barbel I had been catching were: "In your dreams mate, in your dreams".
What is it about some anglers in that they truly seem to struggle. I am not particularly skillful, and in fishing I am normally downright unlucky, but I invariably manage a fish or two on most trips.
Maybe some anglers are so pessimistic they are beaten before they start!
