  • Fishing Breaks Time Is Precious • Use It Fishing 2
    FISHING BREAKS TIME IS PRECIOUS • USE IT FISHING 2 INTRODUCTION I grew up surrounded by chalkstreams and my formative fishing years were spent on the River Meon, a tiny stream in the east of Hampshire. As my angling horizons expanded, it came as something of a shock to discover that not all rivers were gin-clear, full of fish you could see that were eager to take a well-chosen fly when the hatch was on. The more I have travelled and the more I have fished, the more I have come to realise how very special our English chalkstreams are. I would not be so arrogant as to tag them ‘the best fishing money can buy’ – every angler has a different benchmark for that, but these rivers are undeniably unique for all the very best of reasons. It is now more than 30 years since I started Fishing Breaks and it remains an enormous pleasure to share with you the thrill of fly fishing on these beautiful chalkstreams. I do hope you have the chance to fish with us some time very soon. 3 Simon Cooper, Founder and Managing Director Nether Wallop Mill, Hampshire READ MY BOOK LIFE OF A CHALKSTREAM www.fishingbreaks.co.uk | 01264 781988 4 THE CHALKSTREAMS England boasts 98% of all the chalkstreams that exist on our planet. It is the birthplace of modern-day fly fishing, which FISHING means that you have the pick of some of the best and most famous trout rivers in the world.

BRIGGS, R.L WITH 32 COLOURED PLATES LONGMANS, GREEN, AND CO. 39 PATERNOSTER ROW, LONDON NEW YORK, BOMBAY, AND CALCUTTA 1908 All rights reserved CHAPTER VI LOCH AWE I.—DUNCAN OF THE LAUNCH ^IVER fishing is generally acknow- ledged to require more skill, and to be a more varied and interesting form of sport, than loch fishing. There is something extremely attrac- tive in wandering along the banks of a beautiful stream, with its nume- rous pools, rapids, or waterfalls, for they ever form pictures to delight the eye of the artist or angler. Even though the sport be indifferent, there is always pleasure to be gained from the healthy exercise, and from the varied scenes which are traversed ; and in the case of salmon fishing espe- cially immense satisfaction may be derived from the knowledge that a pool has been fished skilfully and to the greatest advantage. — LOCH AWE 127 On the other hand, trout fishing from a boat, on a large and beautiful loch, affords fascinations that do not occur in river fishing, and which the devotee of that form of sport does not comprehend. On the loch you have the pleasure, probably, of the companionship of a fellow-angler ; also the boatman —or gillie, as he is generally called in Scotland who so often forms a most interesting study in human nature, and from whose characteristics much satisfaction may be gained.

  • 2002 Rivers Conservation and Fly Fishing Youth Camp by Mike Group
    by Mike Group photos by the author It wasn’t long after daybreak when I heard the sound of a tail-slapping splash. “Someone’s hooked a rain- bow,” I thought. A quick glance upstream confirmed my suspicion. One of the lads was deftly leading his prize into position for a smooth, quick release. As he guided the first catch of the day into slower water, he became aware of my observa- tion. A broad smile flashed back at me. Never losing his focus, he withdrew a pair of forceps from his fishing vest. Gingerly he removed the fly from the corner of the rainbow’s jaw. All the while he kept the prize in the cool water. Giving me a quick glance, he grinned and opened his hands, allowing the trout to swim away. He watched it for as long as it was visible through the In the past dozen years or so, I’ve coordinated or assisted run’s surface.

  • MARCH 1981 PENNSYLVANIA the Keystone State's Official FISHING BOATING 3 Nglee Magazine
    MARCH 1981 PENNSYLVANIA the Keystone State's Official FISHING BOATING 3 nglee Magazine... ^ 40c Single Copy OPERATION FUTURE l_/uring the January 5, 1981 meeting of the Pennsylvania Fish Commission, the Commissioners present unanimously approved a policy for the conservation and management of fishery resources. That policy statement, "It will be the policy of the Pennsylvania Fish Commission to protect, conserve and enhance the quality and diversity of the Commonwealth's fishery resource (including reptiles and amphibians) and to provide continued and varied angling opportunity through scientific inventory, classification, and management of that resource," marks a formally declared shift in the philosophy and mission of the Pennsylvania Fish Commission from "recreation first" to "resource first." This truly makes the Pennsylvania Fish Commission a conservation agency. The above policy outlines five required activities and/or programs that will be carried out to achieve the policy objectives. This has become a major project for the '80s, and because our efforts in this interdisciplinary project will largely determine the future of fishing in Pennsylvania, it has been designated OPERATION FUTURE. Those activities are: (1) establish and maintain a current data base on the quality and quantity of Pennsylvania's aquatic and fishery resources for effective environmental protection and resource conservation; (2) develop statewide management programs to assure consistent treatment of all resources within any given class — similar waters will be managed to meet the same objectives under the same philosophy on a statewide basis; (3) manage self-sustaining fish populations as a renewable natural resource to preserve and /or conserve that resource and the angling it provides; (4) use hatchery fish to provide recreation in those waters where fish populations are inadequate to sustain the fishery at desired levels; (5) develop appropriate regulations and operational strategies to replace policies that are not compatible with management through resource classification.

Many of them tumbled into the dark pools leading to Earth, but one little demon clung to the broom’s bristles. “I don’t want to leave!” it cried. “It’s cold and cruel there on Earth.” Lord Yama sighed, his breath coming out in a thousand winds. “I need to make room for the new souls, and you demons are cluttering up the place.
