I used to take home more rubbish than I took with me. Fishing line, plastic bags, beer cans, all just left on the bank. It was actually Fishing that got me so interested in Nature, and Wildlife. I took more food with me for the Birds, than I took for the Fish. I really didn't care whether or not I caught anything, I just loved being there. Sadly my health prevents me from going out much, but I also stopped wanting to catch fish. Whenever I caught fish (and I was good at it) I had to stop looking at my surroundings and feeding the birds.|=)|So there are people that give Angling a bad name, but not all Anglers are bad.EDIT: sorry for dragging your thread off topic, John.</blockquote>
