As an angler who has taken Angling Times, on and off since 1953, I would like to ask the following question:
Why is it that there is no coverage of game or sea fishing anymore?
In the old days, Angling Times had sections covering all aspects of angling in the British Isles. I remember columns by such writers as Leslie Moncrieff and Clive Gammon on sea fishing, Bob Church and Arthur Oglesby on game fishing. And even **** Walker, all rounder that he was, wrote often on trout fishing.
These days game fishing has no national weekly press. There are a few monthly magazines of course but these can hardly be called newspapers in the normal sense.
People also tell me that game fishing is declining in the UK.
Maybe it's because of the lack of media coverage. It would be a very great shame if angling for game species with the fly is declining. I still find it the most exciting form of angling of all, and I've been doing it longer than I can remember.
Maybe Greg (Chub King) can tell us why AT does not cover game fishing anymore?
