I fish for mainly farmed rainbow trout (albeit in some of the most beautiful fisheries in Scotland). I don’t and never have liked killing fish and as a result got my club to move away from killing to catch and release in our competitions. I have to say though, my thinking is a bit muddled and my choice is driven simply by I don’t like killing anything really. By muddled I mean:When I was young, I used to kill and eat any trout I caught but, as I grew older, the pleasure of eating them began to be less than the sorrow I felt at taking a life.
Completely hypocritical for a meat-eater I know, and no reflection on anyone who does fish/hunt for food. Just not for me.
Have you thought about trapping the krays to eat?Had a few hours at a day ticket near me, Gyrn Castle on the pleasure lake.
They have a massive problem with Signal Cray fish, big ugly bastards.
Managed to get through them and had some lovely roach and tons of small perch and Rudd.

Horrible but tasty.To be honest mate I didnt like touching them, let alone scoffing them!! Horrible things.
Didn't get a chance to talk to the lake manager so didn't know what to do with them.
Horrible but tasty.
Buy a couple of ready made traps or make your own. Bait them with cheap fish offcuts and put them out for half a day then see how many you get. I doubt the lake manager will mind, they are a problem he'll want rid of. Boil then up for about 10 minutes, peel them and season with salt pepper and lemon juice. They are delicious mate.
Anyone watching the second series of Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer gone fishing? The BBC (fuck them) have spent a great deal money on the production so it is beautifully photographed this time. Bob is just as funny and poignant. Trout, Carp and Salmon in the first three episodes. A real delight in this barmy world and not a VAR camera in sight.
I like doing this with the smaller native ones and also newts and red squirrels.Horrible but tasty.

There is a genuine affection between the two of them that enhances the series. Bobs reaction to the carp run in episode 2 nearly had me wetting myself.Watched the first wo. Haven't seen the third. It is a lovely program, though, and they do make me laugh.
When they ran through their bodies from toes upwards and compared ailments in the first series had me In stitches. One of them described a problem with his arse tha particularly tickled me.There is a genuine affection between the two of them that enhances the series.
