Well, apart from only really liking Tinned Tuna (very unimaginative I'm afraid)...I just don't like eating fish...not because of any 'protest' against it...just don't like the taste of fish!..lol
Angling is the biggest participant sport in the UK...with almost 4 million of us venturing forth at 3:00am...to sit all day drowning Worms...and I completely understand why non-anglers think we are completely insane! (Indeed, I wonder it at times)
Approx 3 million of us pay a minimum of £27 per year for a rod licence...which the Environment Agency spends on fighting Bank Erosion, pollution and stocking etc....and the Anti brigade who try to get fishing banned, happily ignore this fact sadly....in reality, all the lovely Ponds, Lakes and Rivers you come across in the UK..are that way, purely due to Anglers paying for it.
So, I guess I don't fish for food...so why do I do it?
Well...a combination of many factors....Not least, the solitude...all my worries seem to get absorbed into those rippling waters....if that rod tip trembles...or that float dips....it could be 'The Big one'..... I just can't go more than two weekends without doing it!...it's just magical (for me at least)
