We've still had no luck with a volunteer for the fishing article, does anybody know of a fishing forum where we could ask the question?

Shooting Times has forums, and the magazine has a fishing page, so might be worth a shot (boom boom) - although I think they are a little quiet, their forums.

Hi Wood,

We are looking for an article on freshwater fishing for food. Obviously it's quite an emotive topic so we are hoping that someone could discuss both sides of the debate.

We obviously don't want to encourage something that is unsustainable but if their are sustainable stocks of edible freshwater fish then some tips and techniques on methods would be useful.

Thanks

Jon

I did offer to write an article some time ago (when I can find the time).
With freshwater fishing (as wood said) there is a major problem. 99.9% of inland fisheries are catch and release only. Those that aren't are usually covered by EA bylaws. The coarse rivers tend to be covered by the same rules and regulations.

This leaves the game rivers which you are allowed a limited bag, but tend to vary from the expensive to the horrendously expensive. A lot of these waters also tend to be fly only.

Put and take trout fisheries are a more obvious choice, but a lot of these are fly only, and the fish are all reared in hatcheries (like battery chickens) and released for you to catch.

My efforts on the fishing forums have met with zero response.

If Wood's brother does an article against, then I will write a bit to add in favour of fresh water fishing. We should allow his critique of my response as well so I'll forward it to him before the whole thing goes live.

So as a salmon, sea trout and sea fisherman, is there anything I can do to help?

Yes, write something on sea fishing! I've done one for the summer about mackeral, lobster and crab so what about something along the lines of Cab's wild food article but related to edible sea fish species that you can catch throughout the year.

Or did you mean doing something on fresh water fishing? if you want to write it you're more than welcome.
