Hello all !

[clegg100]

Hi all, I'm Clegg from Durham in the UK. I'm another newbie on this forum and really like the look of the site.

Up here I do a bit of fly fishing, but I'm really a course fishing man. You can tell that by my unrefined fly fishing cast. I'm looking to chat about anything and all things fishing.

I have done a bit of fly fishing , though not a hell of a lot. I'm a great believer that different forms of fishing give off a different feel. Lake carp fishing feels different to lake bream or tench fishing and so on. It's not just the weight and power of the gear or the sounds around you. The waves or the tinckle of the stream, it's how it makes you feel inside I guess. Fly fishing for me is an active hunt and feels more immersive than just about any other form of angling. Especially when you are matching the hatch and figuring out what's going on. If I had more time and a lot more money I would spend a significant part of my angling year pursuing fish on the fly. With limited time though I have to priotise sea (whenI am near it) and coarse , which has always been my first "love". Welcome aboard.
