Yes I fish ~ usually for trout these days but in the past have tried and enjoyed all forms of angling from boats 5 miles out in the Channel, off the Needles, along the banks of the Test and the Avon, from small ponds on Southampton Common to the side of the Ocean Terminal in Southampton. I have caught grayling and brown trout in the Itchen and Dog fish, Dover Sole and Thornback Rays from Chessil bank. I am indeed and have been for most of my life an angler. Nothing and I mean nothing gives me more pleasure than the solitude of a river, canal or lake bank side. Just me, a flask of tea and a fishing rod. Happy as a pig in shit and never want to go home.
