canoe/ angling

[CRAZY FROG]

Is there anyone in here interested in canoe/angling in here?

All the time, I find that you don't spook the fish as much and in lots of ways more fun than off the bank, there is always somewhere to explore and wet a line.

Yup, I fly fish, spin etc from my canoe as well as sea fish esp for mackies...
On trips up north it's an absolute intrinsic part of the journey...the tease of a trout for breakfast or supper or fresh mackies on the beach for lunch.

Mmmmmm mmmmm yeagh...

yes i like fishing from a canoe, even if you don't catch any more it's just great fun, by using the indian stroke you can silently creep into places you'd never reach from the bank, i used to fish from a kayak which was a bit tricky as i wasn't the best paddler of a kayak so i placed a blue barrel either side as ballast to help stop it from capsizing when playing a fish, now i prefer my canadian canoe so that's not neccessary, great fun whether you catch or not.

Yep me too, novice at the canoeing tho, spin and bait fish on the canoe, great way to relax.

If you fish from a canoe do you still need the permission of the club/individual who owns the rights to the riverbanks?

which I have from the waterways company that runs the river, as for the clubs they only control the bank fishing, the waterways company controls the boat/canoe fishing for the river that I fish under licence from them.

All this stress of getting permission what a drag.
Over here in Bulgaria they have no rules and regs but it seems to work very well.
I kayak just about anywhere and no-one gets upset.
I have one river by me which is the length of Bulgaria (River Danube) and it free to camp and kayak down.
What are you waiting for come on over and enjoy the freedom.

It's on my list!

Is this the BWB? Or do different companies "run" different rivers? The reason I ask is that I live near the Severn and the Wye where the fishing rights are guarded closely.

 

[Stevcho]

Well I have a small collection of kayaks too choose from and one canadian canoe, so all you need is you fishing gear.

 

[Stevcho]

The rivers here are owned by the people and they fish where they want too. The Ossam River which is 320 kilometers long is wonderfull and very quiet. I spent the other day fishing and never saw a soul for 8 hours. Bliss
I also lived near the river wye and found the restrictions too much to handle thats why I moved over here for good.

 

[Kerne]

Can't blame you. The problem here is we need the restrictions because there are so many of us.
