I really don't see how a bunch of Schoolkids fishing is that unusual in any country.

Grayling, I can see where your coming from. Unfortunatley sometimes it takes a big move for you to open your eyes and see things. Its good though that you mention this to keep things in perspective.

I used to do a lot of fishing i my youth. We had course fishing lakes near my village and I went most weekends. I loved it. My school had no outside activities so seeing what they do here is new to me. My g/f used to have surfing lessons here when she was a nipper!

I think you are right.

Strange isn't it?

Best wishes :)

Re: BROWNLOW's on TV NOW!!

whilst I'm on, just like to see its not just the Aussie kids that are gifted and spoilt; when I was a nipper we were taking to the local poo - (the 'l' had dropped off the sign) and given swimming lessons . How good was that. All in school time too.

Why do peole have to move to the other side of the world to see what was under their noses the whole time? :rolleyes:

I am coaching a young lad in Fly fishing who is now competing on a national level. Right here in Good old Blighty.

Totally agree with you, I do find it odd why people can not see what is actually under their noses in the UK.
I learnt to fish in the Uk not here, and spent as much time fishing there as I do here, which is a lot. ( I don't fly fish, or "coarse fish".. I've always been a salt water fisho, but my husband used to be a very keen fly fisherman in the UK in the rivers for trout etc, besides sea angling ) .
I never fancy fresh water fishing myself , I've tried it here in the lakes, ( bait fishing, worms) and caught a few fish, yellow belly, Au bass etc , but I don't find it as exciting as sea fishing , the unknown.. you always know what your likely to catch in the lakes/damns here , but not at sea.

Talked to hubby last night on phone , and he's caught a further 3 Barra.. one apparently went to 1 metre, can't say that I'm jealous, that dosen't like fun to me, Barra fishing (there again I've never caught one) . Give me sharks and Jew (mulloway) fishing anyday.
