fishing

hi, I think freshwater fishing is much easier than sea fishing for a beginner, but i also want to take the occasional fish or 2 for the table. Does anyone else do this or know of any rivers with good enough fish stocks north of the tyne to do this?(or any with perch?) There are plenty of rivers...

Freya and I canoe across a lake in Alaska to explore and attempt camping by a crashed Military C-47 Skytrain aircraft. The fish where not biting and the no see ums (bugs) where very affectionate come nightfall. I seriously miss-judge the tide the cook fire goes out twice, then the water reaches...

Hello Friends of Bushcraft UK , Decided to take the canoe out on the this over night adventure. Canoes are so graceful and peaceful, its like walking you see so much more detail and the sound of the waves slapping the boat is like a lullaby. Freya (Dog) will provided allot of entertainment and...

Last minute camp out this week, was not super prepared but was only an overnight. Weather was mixed sun and rain turning to a lite rain in the evening and night. Woke up to a lite breeze and clouds. Around 11:30 at night it sounded like some one was throwing boulders in the lake.. Very...

Hello everyone. Rookie fisherman here looking for a good spot to wild camp, wake up and fish. Somewhere without permits or easy to get permits maybe online or something. Don’t want to bother anybody concerned about Covid 19. Any recommendations? Would be much appreciated. Obviously for after the...

Hi all, I'm going to Bideford, North Devon in a couple of weeks and interested in doing a little foraging there. Anybody had any experience there? Kayak / Fishing? Fishing? Crab / Crayfish trapping? General foraging? just about anything really. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks

Hi all, My eldest has wanted to go fishing for a long time he's been asking for a few years, I thought it was fad he'd fall out of, however I bought a cheap fishing set to see if he'll stick with it. I've never fished nor had any interest to do so as such I have no clue what to do at all, so...

Yo, Early morning chaps! I've been thinking lately about getting more hobby time under my belt and more time out of the fort. My commitments to my very limited shooting club are rocky at best due to personal obligations so I was thinking about a more relaxed and cheaper hobby I can get into...

Well - checked the forecast yesterday and it looked like it was going to be a nice start this morning. So, set my alarm and was up and out by 6.30am, took a little while to get the new kayak into the water as it's a little on the heavy side for one person to carry. It's a Galaxy tandem...

Good morning, forumites! I knocked up a hunting priest with some scrap snooker cue that was left over from material sourcing and figured you guys would like to see how it was done. The idea of the 'priest' is to humanely dispatch small game after catching, snaring or shooting it by bonking it...

Its Garfish season! The season starts in late april, where hordes of Garfish migrate to the coastal waters to spawn. Thats European Garfish (Belone Belone) and not the freshwater Gar that my american friends think of. They're great game fish! They strike with aggression, leap out of the water...

I found this online. A good part series on making netting. Uses such as fishing or trapping. Hope it helps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rio11Hn3m6g

definitely not the first place that comes to mind... but definitely worth to look in there when in need for fishing bait: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAV65j3NN10

Thought I would share some fishing lures I have been churning out on my "sick day" today. It's all from the tutorials in Bushcraft & Survival Skills magazine issues 10 & 11. I've used some copper from plant pot labels (rather than pipes as in the tutorial), its pretty thin but i hope with some...

anyone got any recommendations for a nice travel fly rod, preferably with a reel, for around 60 quid? i've seen a few fly fishing starter kits but they tend to be 2 piece rods so still quite long to be wandering around with. it'll be mainly used for poking around tarns and streams in the lakes...
