Only people who actually want to catch them.

I have been called worse...but not by Norwegians.

Most of us have a particularly down-to -earth way of thinking about fishing. Sure it is a fabulous sport but food gathering comes into it as well. I spend my whole summer fishing and the rest of the year I eat the result. Today is Fried Trout Day. Catch and relase is not for the likes of me

I will not bore you with Fabulous Fishing Stories, only say that Norway is not a bad place for those of you who like walking in the mountains for days without meeting a single soul, and who can handle frying fresh trout on the embers of a dying fire.

I don't have a problem with bait fisherman, I just enjoy the fly fishing more and if was purely about getting as many fish out of the water as possible there are even more efficient methods of doing that than worms.

It is any method on the river I fish mostly and we all seem to rub along okay fly, bait and spinning. The biggest problem is probably the taking of undersize fish in great numbers by people who don't really care about the long term effects.

The fact that some people see themselves as better than bait fisherman because they use artificial flies is ridiculous and I don't go along with it. We do enjoy a lot of free access in Ireland to some great rivers that in the UK would cost you a fortune so those elitist attitudes are less of a problem.

I've just forked out �70.00 for my local fishing club licence which gives me two rivers and a lake to go at this season and then had to spend the same again for my salmon and sea trout licence.
I'm not going to get anything like a �140 s worth of fish but I'm hoping for many pleasurable evenings thrashing the water and scaring the other wildlife with my attempts at setting an artificial fly gently and seductivley on the surface of the water.

always, it works
other good baits are yellow things (sweetcorn or spun yellow feather),
i have tried various flys and black witch ,coachman and homemade baby trout worked well in my local river before the pollution was turned up to slaughter all life by biological oxygen demand

How about Harlaw or Threipmuir reservoir for trout? I'd love to learn to fish, but I'm the only one in the house who will eat them.
