Yeh, we got them wardens too. "Water Watchers" or "Bailiffs". The poachers over here have hammered the rivers over the past 10 years, that's why I don't do the rivers any more. Don't get me wrong, my grand-dad taught me how to poach, but it was one for the pot. Now, I would love to have the chance of getting wet and have the poachers head under water, but they know how I feel on the matter and won't let me "In the club"..
reckon I'm too vigilante..
A private trout farm where the snobs go to fish, is stocked with loads of the buggers and I mean big... You pay ?100 entry and any fish caught is ?1 per lb. and every 1 caught is a kill. Thats one expensive day. It used to be open to the public years ago but closed down. Shame really, coz, as a kid, that's where I first seen Fly fishing and was always wanting to try it. My dad said it was a waste of time and money. How wrong he was....
You get all the Shimmano gear guy's here too. It's so funny watching them with all the gear AND NO IDEA..
I'm cheap and the gear I have gets the fish, so what's the point. The most expensive part of my kit is a reel that cost me ?70. And you see the prats with ?400 ones who still can't catch the fish..... Beats me.
