But I do love a healthy debate as long as it stays on topic and the handbags don't come out then it's exit stage right.

    I agree Chad. Having said that, some of the venues, especially locally to me, they’re getting away with murder and taking peoples money when they either aren’t stocking, stocking half pound fish or not maintaining the weeds etc. there are some fantastic fisheries out there but there is two close to me that would be better off closing or letting someone else take over because they are being run in to the ground and are basically stealing peoples money knowing full well there is no fish stocked, to be caught. I could give you two fisheries names in particular that are a disgrace but what would I gain by naming them. I just don’t visit them anymore. I’d rather pay more to visit the fisheries that are run properly by responsible and passionate owners. It’s those guys that deserve our footfall and custom. It’s a two way street. We both need each other.

    Agree 100%. My view is that social media could be part of the problem. Its very rare to see a fishless session, what we get are edited highlights of good days and so people assume that that is how fishing should be. Couple that with inflated egos and lack of real knowledge then some will get angry and start spouting negativity. I have been appalled at some of the behaviour and practices exhibited on social media and am very careful who I subscribe to. Liked and subscribed. Thank you. 🧔 👍

    The truth is a lot anglers slag a venue off because it’s not easy to catch fish 🐟 at certain times of the year, they’re often not prepared to try new things or educate themselves on other methods, the bottom line is sometimes fishing can be difficult and that’s the beauty of it, sometimes I blank sometimes I crack the code 🤷‍♂️, I can’t think of a time when I’ve done badly due to a lack of fish, I just fished like an idiot and got it completely wrong, don’t listen to these dickheads on FB & Twitter as they’ll always find something to moan about, as for anglers I meet whilst out fishing 🎣 I’ve never had a bad experience, a wide variety of characters that I really enjoy talking to.

    Spot on Chad. When I was first introduced to fly fishing I asked my good friend and mentor why we bothered to fish at the height of summer when the fishing was hard, especially for a novice like me, his reply has stayed with me throughout: 'If we don't support them when things are tough, we'll end up losing them altogether. I had break for about 25 years and only started again after watching your videos. I've immensely enjoyed my fishing, even during this summer's lean time, and try to go as often as possible. So, thanks for your input Chad and keep sharing the positive.
