Fav fish?

[Paul_D]

Undoubtedly the chub. It used to be the tench but I'm lucky enough to now live close to wonderfully scenic rivers where cracking chub are difficult to catch so they now take up most of my fishing time.

When do Perch NOT follow things??

[Andy Macfarlane]

Pike, Perch, Trout and then probably, the lowly Mackerel (top scrappers on light gear).

Nice one Dan.......

[chris mc]

Barbel

Tench

Chub

Grayling

Carp

 

In that order

Tench with Barbel a close 2nd. Still I'd dearly love to catch a 2lb+ Roach.

 

The real beauty in fishing is the anticipation as the float dips, or rod tip bends and you lift the rod and for a split second it could be anything....

Being mainly a match angler I like the fact that I dont usually know what fish I am going for untill I get to my swim. I supose that is why I try not to go to "managed" waters full of Carp.

I tried to work out what my favourite fish are but came to the conclusion that I like venues first and the fish I like are the ones that live in those venues regardless of what they are. In that vein my favourites fish are the ones living in.

 

Big Rivers - Thames Severn or Trent (usefull in Kent)

Fenland type Drains - Wallers Haven Royal Military Canal

Mountain Lochs in Scotland - usually un named.

River Easturies - If only I lived near some.
