Not to mention that most golf courses are small-scale environmental disasters. Oh. A golf course? No problem!!! We'll just fill in this here lake and you'll have your course in no time. So long as you can line the local Army Corps of Engineers pockets... |

I do believe that I would have to get to know my neighbors real good. Or is this "someone else" some sort of "Duke of Something" with a rod up his ass? Could be anybody. A previous owner of the house might have sold to anyone. Or the owner of the land might have retained the rights when selling the land to the person who built the house. Loads of possibilities... A "duke or something" probably features somewhere..! I think she probably has the right to fish it for trout if she owns the land down to the bank as it is only the salmon/seatrout fishing that can be sold seperately from the land. As I said, the position in Scotland is different from that elsewhere in the UK. In England and Wales there's no such distinction between trout fishing and salmon / sea trout fishing. -- Nogood Boyo |

Willi I might be sensitized, but I've noticed more fly fishing and tying events in the last year or so than I used to. In general, I think most outdoor sports are taking a spending hit, what with the economy the way it is, and Kodak spitting out employees like they're watermelon seeds, but I thing fly fishing is getting a bigger part of the fishing dollar over here.

Oh, I'm not so decrepit or jaded as to dismiss the prospect of a bit of adventure out of hand but, till now, I never knew that I was any sort of wild man. but photos and descriptions of some of his exploits have been posted in the past. I don't remember any specifics, but I do have a vague recollection of some references......sounds kinda fun. Bruiser is a fun guy to fish with. I hope to be in a position to concur some day.

I live in Glasgow and have fished most areas of Scotland , where are you
going and what are you fishing for trout or salmon. I am a trout man but I can put you in touch with salmon info if required. Jim "Sandy" wrote in message ...

I am planning to give fly fishing a try this summer. Would taking an inaugural fly fishing expedition in the highlands be asking too much? Michael Where do I start!! When in May and where are you staying? Try here for places to fish. http://www.where-to-fish.com/content/2d.html Click on the link below for the legal bit. http://www.flyfish-scotland.com/scotslaw.htm Now that we have got that out of the way it really isn't that difficult to find free/cheap fishing as long as you know where to go. You mentioned the highlands, I have a weeks camping/fishing trip to the highlands every year in May, and it has never cost more than £100/$180us and that includes travel. I have fished Attadale, great if you don't mind the 13 mile walk to most of the lochs, which is free, Lochinver, £30 for a weeks fishing on approx. 150 lochs, Kilmelford, used to be £25 for the weeks fishing but may be higher now, which has approx 20 lochs. If you want to read more of these places go to my website and click on the links in the navigation bar. If you can supply me with a bit more information I may be able to put something together for you, can't promise though -- Don`t Worry, Be Happy Sandy -- E-Mail:- Website:- http://www.ftscotland.co.uk IRC:- Sandyb in #rabble uk3.arcnet.vapor.com Port:6667 #Rabble Channel Website:- http://www.ftscotland.co.uk/rabbled ICQ : 41266150 |
