i'm bang into fishing, just started fly fishing and loving it. also am an avid carp angler but have been getting fed up with the commercialization of it all, it costs too much much now for a 48hr stint every where, even syndicates are overpriced. when i first started out you was lucky to see two people on any one lake fishing for them, now they have carp only lakes. also have brought a load of course tackle again so i can pop down the thames as i live 2 mins away and get a couple of hours in. :devil:
