Royalty going syndicate?

'If you had seen and experienced what I have in recent years - above all, encountered, known and tried to treat with constructively some of the unseen, unknown 'monsters' lurking about behind the scenes at the top end of our pastime (forever pulling the strings, to ensure that things continue work out their way)- you would be worried - not for me, but for your pastime!'

 

Sorry Paul too dark and paranoic for me and doesnt equate with my fishing at all. Most of us live in a world where we turn up with rod in hand, pay our dues, pick up our litter on the way home and that's as political and as devious as it gets.

 

You may have however, just described this current government <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

So Paul how about naming names of those who are pulling strings, and what they are doing to make things work out their way?

 

If we know who the puppet masters are, and what they are doing then we can collectively do something about it.

 

Just give us the facts and you are on very safe ground legally.

Two observations (the first I have made before):

 

1) Very very naive.

 

2) You ought to get out and about more - I have.

Believe me I do Paul, but it's a different world to the dark one that you seem to inhabit. I'm just off to the Kennet right now, best I can hope for is 'overcast'

A long-time favourite river of mine, the Kennet - I still fish it from time to time, for coarse-fish and an occasional invitation for grayling and trout with the fly. You won't meet any of my imaginary monsters on the lower and middle stretches, argyll, but you just might if you were to run a few miles upriver to, say, Hungerford - you'd be amazed just what skulks about in the backwoods up there - Old Money With Attitude!

 

 

Have a good session.

Thank you. At least we can agree on the Kennet

Just sneak up to The mini bridge in Hungerford with your extendable rod. True Paul, loads of monsters...trout for tea at up to 5lb at least.

Know it well, Graham. Back in the early 1980s, after being 'approached' by 'someone' like some potential MI6 recruit, I was offered a 'rod' on the prestigeous Hungerford Fishery. I took it, as a rod wasn't hugely expensive back then (it was more about 'who' you were or what you were like as a person), and caught a lot of trout and grayling on fly. Removed a lot of pike from the fishery during the winter, too, at the then keeper's request ("Kill the buggers!"), then ran them down the river, alive, to stretches where they would be appreciated, or put them into the nearby Kennet & Avon Canal.
