‘Peter, you’re joking, aren’t you? I wouldn’t walk down the riverbank, let alone go out in a boat on the lough in this lot.’
‘Well now, I’ve fished here all my life and I’ve not lost an angler yet. I dare say I’ll not be starting with either of you two today.’
Helen winced. ‘But the wind, Peter, and the rain? Surely no selfrespecting salmon’s going to take in these conditions.’
The grin widened. ‘You’ll wait your whole life for a day like this on the salmon. Trust me. The wind’s veering into the south and that alone means it’ll be worth a cast or two. C

Greg held the blade end, took careful aim and brought the handle of the paddle crashing down on the pike’s head.
‘Again, just to make sure.’
He hit it again twice, whereupon a great shudder went through the pike’s body and it lay still. They knelt there for ages, gazing down and admiring the fish in disbelief that this was happening to them. Eventually, they collected the rest of their tackle into the knapsacks and looked around for something to help them carry the fish. Greg found a branch that he broke off to a manageable length, which they stuck into th

However, rather than dive away to safety, it proceeded to swim slowly round the boat, eyeing up the two men while it continued to shake its head and rid itself of the final pieces of plastic. Then, with a great slash of its tail, it dived away out of sight and was gone.
The boatman was grinning inanely, out of sheer relief rather than with humour, Steve suspected. The man reached out his hand.
‘Very good, sir. Bloody glad it wasn’t great white, though.’

He took the glass the Canadian offered him, lit it and knocked it back. His eyebrows went first, then the front of his hair caught light and Nigel had to throw a bottle of water over his head to put him ARCTIC SALMON AND ICEBERGS
out. Somehow the quantity of vodka already consumed made it all seem hilarious, and the competition went on long into the night. No one could remember who won, but the two Englishmen had unearthly hangovers as they prepared for fishing in the morning.

Mark looked behind him, expecting to see a line of excited Japanese vying to be the first one to land a fish. However, all those on deck had their eyes closed and no one seemed in a hurry to leave the wheelhouse.
‘Bring it in yourself,’ Don called out.
Mark leant into the fish and tried to power it to the surface, but it wasn’t quite that easy. Each time he had it close to the top it bored away again, and it was a good six or seven minutes before he had it under control beside the boat.
Don flew out of the wheelhouse, leant over and hauled the fish inbo

But the real iconic Australian fish, with something of a cult status among its hoards of hunters, is the weird and wonderful barramundi, distant relative of the mighty Nile perch. It is weird because it frequents both salt and fresh water, and all barramundi are born male, only turning female later in life and definitely by the time they reach 17 pounds in weight. The much sought-after yard-long specimens are therefore all females and get very angry when hooked. They are the reverse of Atlantic salmon and sea trout, in that they spawn in the tidal reaches rather

UK Lakes Series

The UK is home to beautiful lakes, lochs, pools, reservoirs and waters, from the small but majestic Rydal Water in the Lake District to the bubbling Fairy Pools of Skye, the UK is home to a wide variety of spectacular lakes for water-sports, wild swims, bike rides, water-side walks and picnics.

These guides gives you plenty of information, including what species of fish can be caught at each water, maps, directions, parking details, ticket prices, rules for that venue, on site facilities, disabled access and contact numbers. Most lakes, ponds and rivers in and around the area are featured and all contain photographs of the venues. This full colour guide contains all you need to know for a great days fishing.

Much of the advice for fishing lakes will be similar to our suggestions for river fishing so we suggest that you read that first. We can then identify any differences between the two styles.

Rods – again we would advise a 12ft match rod. You are looking for a ‘through’ action whereas float fishing rods for river use are ideally ‘tip’ actioned. A through action rod has a gradual bend from the tip right down the section to the butt whereas the tip action has stiffer middle and butt joints leaving only the tip to bend.

The tip actioned rod is ideal when fishing for roach and dace in the rivers where you need to be able to pick up lots of loose line that is laying on the surface between the rod and the float. When we’re fishing lakes we tend to use ‘waggler’ type float with the line fixed only at the bottom of the float giving us a sunken line and a more direct contact to a biting fish. We would recommend something like the Shakespeare Odessa 12ft

Short Extract

n the 1960s, when boys were still allowed to go off fishing on their own, Greg and Richard were given permission to fish in a beautiful private lake in the grounds of a manor house on the border between Surrey and Sussex in southern England. They had no real idea what fish were in the lake and, at 10 years old, they only had very basic angling skills in any case.
They left their bikes in the lane against the fence running round the property. Full of excitement about this first ever trip on their own, they grabbed their tackle, jumped over the stile and ran ac

The technique was simple. A motor tender would tow them out into St Ann’s Bay, an area about 4 miles long by a mile wide, and then Percy would take over on the oars once they sighted tuna. The tuna herded baitfish into the bay, gorging themselves on the shoals of herring, mackerel and squid, and the idea was to try to head them off with the boat, often trolling the bait right through the middle of a feeding frenzy, and hope that a tuna would hook up.
Duncan began to catch plenty of blue fins this way, and locals watching from boats or the shore would tell of

I arrived at the lodge for lunch with a bit more confidence that I was doing something right for a change, and had a laugh with Sam about the Cascade.
‘Fluke!’ he said. ‘It would have taken a Willie Gunn just as well.’
We were having lunch when someone remarked that a squirrel was pinching nuts from the bird table. This is a fairly regular occurrence at home, so I didn’t get too excited, until I realised that it was a red squirrel.

Carp Fishing

Carp Fishing

Jump to Carp Fishing Video

One of the largest members of the minnow family and a close relative of the goldfish, the common carp is among the least – favoured targets of freshwater anglers in North America. Common carp exist in good supply and in relatively large sizes (compared to most other species), and provide an underutilized resource for anglers, not to mention an ample source of protein. In some circles carp are highly regarded as a food fish and can be prepared in many ways. ID. The common carp has a deep body form and a heavy appearance.

Distinctive features include a short head, rounded snout, single long dorsal fin, forked tail, and relatively large scales. The mouth is toothless and sucker like, adapted to bottom feeding, and the upper jaw projects slightly past the lower one. The common carp has a single serrated spine at the front of the dorsal and anal fins and two pairs of fleshy barbels on either side of its mouth. Colouring ranges from gold to olive to brown, with a yellowish colouring on the lower sides and belly and a reddish tint to the lower fins. Each scale on the upper sides of the fish has a concentrated dark spot at its base and a conspicuous dark rim.

Common Carp Cyprinus carpio

Juveniles and breeding males are usually a darker green or grey with a dark belly, and females are lighter. Habitat. Common carp are incredibly hardy and flexible in their habitat preferences. Primarily bottom – dwelling fish, carp like quiet, shallow waters with a soft bottom and dense aquatic vegetation. Although they favour large turbid waters, they also thrive in small rivers and lakes. They can live in low – oxygen environments and can tolerate temperature fluctuations and extremes. In some northern waters where the fish are abundant and such terrain is lacking or offers no food, carp will cruise over shallow, rocky flats and shoals, browsing along the rubble bottom. Food. Omnivorous feeders, carp have predominantly vegetarian diets but will feed on aquatic insects, snails, crustaceans, annelids, and molluscs.

Aquatic plants and filamentous algae are the most popular food groups. They grub sediments from the bottom with their sucker like mouths, uprooting and destroying vegetation and muddying the water. Carp primarily spend their lives in small groups and are inclined to roam for food. Angling. Because carp primarily eat aquatic plants, and not other fish, they are less receptive than many other species to the most commonly practiced methods of fishing in North America. Nevertheless, they are strong fish and hearty battlers, capable of stretching a fishing line and testing the skills of most anglers. Getting a carp to take your offering can be a challenge, as they are not impulsive predators or ambush strikers.

For the most part, they are not chasers or stalk – and – attack hunters. They are unlikely to strike most lures, although they occasionally strike a slow – moving jig, and either a weighted or a dry fly. Spinning, spin-casting, fly-casting, and bait-casting tackle are all used to land carp, but spinning is probably the most functional method. In North America, carp have been caught on an assortment of bait, primarily dough-balls, corn, worms, processed baits, and commercially prepared baits, with and without chumming. Although they primarily feed on the bottom, carp also feed on or near the surface as well as at mid-levels. Fishing for carp is mostly a waiting game, but stealthy anglers can opt to take a more aggressive approach and hunt for them, stalking and casting to visible fish. the equipment list.

Bass Fishing

Bass Fishing

Jump to Bass Fishing Video

In the past, where human populations were sparse and fishing pressure modest, sea bass were simply called “bass”, meaning basically “prickly.” But in Mediterranean Europe the same species began to be named in a way that indicated intelligence. The ancient Greeks associated the fish with the word labros, or “turbulence.” Homer uses labros in reference to wind and waterbut labros as it applied to sea bass gradually came to imply cleverness. In modern Greek the concept of the sea bass as a clever fish became its defining characteristic. Today the fish is called lavraki – “the clever one.” If you wanted to indicate in modern Greek that someone had cleverly figured out something tricky and challenging, you would say that he epyase lavraki – “he caught a sea bass.”

The perception of the bass as clever occurs in other Mediterranean languages. The Romans named the fish after an animal they considered particularly intelligent – lupinus, which eventually became the French loup de mer – “sea wolf.” And the Latin poet Ovid wrote of sea bass as using its smarts to frustrate its potential captors. “In vain above the greedy [fisherman] toils,” Ovid wrote, “while with arts more exquisite the bass beguiles.”

European sea bass thus seem to have rapidly solidified their reputation for cleverness in the Mediterranean. The reason for this may be a direct product of the holiday-like environment of the Mediterranean Sea, the place where humans and sea bass had their most intense interactions. The Mediterranean occupies an exceptionally warm and dry climatic zone. Most rivers on the European continent flow away from it, meaning that, compared to other seas, the Mediterranean’s biotic systems receive few nutrients. The sea is therefore described by scientists with the Greek-derived word oligotrophic – a place that “contains little nourishment.” By the time one reaches the level of the European sea bass, both the population of fish and the size of individual fish are naturally smaller and more sensitive to exploitation than in more productive seas. Recently the Italian cookbook author Marcella Hazan said that when she moved to the United States, she simply could not find the right fish for her European sea bass recipes. “Your bass are too big!” she lamented.
