COARSE FISHING
Our Editor quotes: “Since time immemorial man has sought to catch fish. To begin with this was primarily for food but, over the millennia, coarse fishing has grown into probably the most popular leisure sport in the UK.
The definition of ‘coarse fishing’ is the fishing for any freshwater fish, other than salmon or trout, which are considered game fish. These include roach, perch, tench, carp, bream, rudd, pike and chub, to name but a few. These fish are all returned to the water alive, and unharmed.
There are many types of coarse angler, ranging from the pleasure angler, through the match angler to the specialist anglers and specimen hunters”.
