When would a good time to come to London be, if I could find a way to
get off to fish? I wonder about fishing from the beach as much as any
flowing water.


Oh, the fishing at most of London's beaches is almost exactly like the
fishing at Denver's beaches (some say it's more like Kansas City, but I
disagree), so any time you'd try to fish at one, you can attempt to fish
at the other...

I ask because I am scheduling a class at some time in the future
that's fairly flexible (2-4 months out) so any help would be very much
appreciated.


If it's a geography class, don't wait boy, start today, NOW, get goin'

I'm pretty sure it was tongue-in-cheek, Frank. And brilliant.

What a pathetic and disturbing display. Just the sort of thing that a
sick ****bag like Fortenberry would enjoy. I switched it off after the
first sentence.


Makes one wonder how much crap like that the guy watches? How about
it Kenny boy, that how you bolster your poor little ego? Watching
disturbed people suffer in public?

Hi Mike,

I humbly seek any advice you might be able to offer me.

When would a good time to come to London be, if I could find a way to
get off to fish? I wonder about fishing from the beach as much as any
flowing water.

I ask because I am scheduling a class at some time in the future
that's fairly flexible (2-4 months out) so any help would be very much
appreciated.

Would it be just too much of a hassle to be worth it or could it be
something cool? If I recall, it was you that showed me (years ago) how
to tie that baltic sea worm through twisting? Love to chuck some of
those bad boys, though I actually did cast one just the other day for
bass, though it was on one of those 107 degree days that everything
was working, so I opted for a popper.

Thanks very much,

Tim


It is a long time since I was last in London Tim, and the fishing in
the area was neither very good, nor what you might be used to. There
are various reservoirs dotted around which one pays to fish on an
hourly or daily basis. These are usually stocked with force fed
rainbows, and occasionally, brown trout. Some so called "coarse"
fishing ( for species other than salmonids), is available, which is
usually traditionally catch and release. This is usually done with
various baits, although there are a few places where one may fly-fish
for Pike, perch etc, it is not done much, and many places will be
private water which you can only get on per invitation.

There is some river fishing, within relatively easy reach of London,
but it is expensive and difficult to come by.

As fishing destination generally, London is a poor choice. If you
wanted to get the flavour of some reasonable fishing in England, then
I would suggest you get a guide like this for a day;

http://www.famousfishing.co.uk/corpo...ly_fishing.htm

http://www.corporateflyfishing.com/index2.htm I know Carl very well
and have fished with him on the Baltic and elsewhere. he is a
brilliant caster and instructor, and I can recommend him without any
reserve. I have no idea what he charges, but if you e-mail
( ) and mention I told you to, he may be
able to give you a good deal.

You will be able to fish some famous rivers, and also learn a lot if
you so wish, from some very skilled people.This however is not
exactly cheap.

Ocean fishing near London is a waste of time. The fish stocks are so
low that you would be unlikely to catch anything anyway.

Those are the only reasonable alternatives really. There may be a
Roffian or two who can give you more and better info for "going it
alone" near London. Mr,McPherson who posted here recently might be
able to help you out, as he is in the general area. If nobody replies,
then try posting the same question on this board;

http://www.flyforums.co.uk/

There are quite a number of people there who will be able and willing
to help you out.

Uh-oh...another "her"...IAC, somehow, I doubt there'll be any
great-grandchildren...well, unless some adoption board is REALLY
asleep...I mean, Madonna is one thing, but two guys who dress like her
is another thing entirely...


Well, I looked at it for 10 seconds with no sound. Now that I see it
with sound, I see its some psychotic hermophrodite. Probably a USC
fan too.

Er, Frank..."see it with sound?!"...are you sure you haven't found

anything with a heavy, blunt instrument or staring at the sun?

I would imagine most folks think it funny as hell. Especially
those who've been the target of a His Loony Mikeness tirade
themselves.

You're in a deep, deep hole Mike and you're forgetting the
first law of finding yourself in a deep, deep hole. I will
confess to tossing in a new shovel now and then but you're
the one doing all the digging.

Please, do carry on.

I have not attacked anybody here Kenny boy, you are the one doing all
the attacking. Your propaganda is useless. The more **** you post, the
more stupid, obsessed, and inadequate, people think you are. You can
īt convince anybody here, and convincing yourself is an exercise in
futility.

There are no holes here Kenny boy, this is a fishing newsgroup, not a
battlefield. You wouldnīt last five seconds on a battlefield. Your
innate cowardice and inadequacy would control you just as much there
as it does here, but the consequences would doubtless then be
immediate and probably fatal.

You canīt toss anything to anybody. You might be able to convince your
vain, shallow, inadequate, and totally insecure self, that you are a
very clever fellow, but of course you are still just a stupid, nasty,
inadequate little ****, being forced by his nature to continue
flinging **** and insults, in the vain hope that it will do you some
good.

It wont do you any good at all Kenny boy. It does not matter to me
whether you realise that or not, I know it, and everybody else here
knows it. They are sick of you Kenny boy, you will not receive any
succour or assistance, because nobody likes or trusts you. You could
simply stop this nonsense, but you probably wont, your nasty little
twisted and inadequate character wont let you. You feel obliged to
strike out at somebody in order to feel better. You need to feel
superior to others Kenny boy, and the only way you can manage that,
even for a brief time, is to attack and denigrate them.

Makes no difference to me what you do Kenny boy. Nobody else cares
either. It only makes a difference to you.

Yeah, you have. You attack anyone who dares to disagree
with His Loony Mikeness. Your posts are full of filthy
invective, insults and name-calling. As a result you've
become something of a laughingstock on roff. That's the
hole you're in Mike, and it's all of you're own doing.

Please, do carry on.

By the way Tim, on the worm front, you might find this of interest;

A couple of people told me they worked very well for bass as well.

I live in a state where the women look like Larry the Cable Guy, only
bigger. Right now, to "fit in" I'm wearing a black, Nebraska
Cornhusker Hawaiian type shirt, red and black Husker tie all under a
black, camel hair blazer. Basically, I've been assimilated by corn-
borg collective.
