I'm a pretty keen angler and I just wondered whether there are more of us on .net?
Mainly coarse fishing but also sea (off boats and rock) and more recently fly fishing too.
Just me?

My old man is Linlithgow Angling Club Champion, he loves his fishing. I'll always remember the massive boost he got during lockdown when they were allowed to start fishing again, he was like a little kid on Xmas morning.

A guy who used to post on here took me fishing once, i asked him for a beginners lesson because i thought it might be up my street, i like nature and enjoy the outdoors. I just never got into it. Too much silence for too long, i think. I do like watching Mortimer and Whitehouse do it though!

Was brought up on the river Tweed so used to guddle the salmon bring them home and put them in the bath for my mum. Live near the river Thames now & theres no way I'm putting my hands in that.
Can be very therapeutic and torture at the same time.

I’ve never tried it; it isn’t something that appeals to me, but I think I would be temperamentally suited to it, as I like my own company and can sit quietly for hours. I think I would need a book to keep me occupied. It seems to be one of those hobbies like golf, in that people would love it or hate it, and those who love it get obsessed with it.

Haven’t fished in 30 odd years since moving to Scotland. Was a keen coarse fisher throughout my youth and early twenties. Mainly lakes and stock pond fishing. One of my favourite places to fish used to be Capesthorne Hall stock pond near Knutsford. Will probably dabble again when retired.

I'm a fishaholic. River Tweed, Clyde, Don, Nith, Tummel, Tay I fish them all. I've met loads of pals due to the fishing. 8 of us head up to fish Orkney every year now.

I fish near Walkerburn from time to time with an old friend and some of the much older locals remember in their youth when they say you could almost walk over the mill lade on the backs of the salmon. Must have been a hell of a sight.

One of us lives near London now with a big house so we all go stay with him and his family and fish from dawn until dusk every day for five days. Take the fishing seriously during the day and then drink and yak away at night telling our old war stories. Easily the most therapeutic thing I do all year.
I don't have a brother, but in a way I have six brothers.

I fish the Clyde around Lamington/biggar area down to the boat bridge at Thankerton a lot. I usually get a United Clyde permit also and try various spots down that stretch. Also fish the Tweed around Innerleithen.

I've tried numerous times to learn fly fishing, just can't get it at all so always end up back on the bait, will be heading out again soon, I like a day out on a Loch but prefer the fisheries
