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.

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.

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.

Unfortunately (fortunately?) I had the sound turned down. Talk about
pathetic. Wait 50 years and her great grandchildren will dig this up and ask about it. 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. Frank Reid |

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. -- Ken Fortenberry 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. MC |

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. -- Ken Fortenberry |

Seriously, the guy has an Adam's apple and needs a shave...how long have you been in Nebraska? 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.
