    ”The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions of hope.“
    ~ John Buchan


    While the most common forms of fishing are rod and reel fishing, fly fishing, and at a distant third bow-fishing, there are many other forms that are practiced around the world for survival and pleasure. Whatever your preferred method, fishing is a great experience and gets us back in touch with nature and ourselves. Contrary to popular belief, fishing is far more than “One jerk waiting for another jerk at the end of the line.”, and instead is actually a result of luck combined with three important processes, the state of the fish, how it encounters the tackle, and the composition of that tackle.

    I actually quite like that definition :D

    As I only do "proper" fishing for "proper" fish this is a day I can wholeheartedly endorse.
    None of this rubbish fishing for carp, just trout and salmon for me.

  13. I refuse to be drawn into an argument about the merits of Carp angling with people who are quite frankly below me. Who says Carp anglers are elitist? What nonsense.
