Brian, I must admit I have never really understood the lure (sorry 

 ) of fishing, so long as it is for food I see nothing wrong. A nice trout goes down very well, pike is a  

 , my favourite though is a large skate wing cooked in slightly burnt butter. 
 
 
I think I will finish with this subject I  find the anti hunting debates get nasty and personal in the end. Reason seldom prevails on either side.
