Some Advice Please

[craig-todd]

We are going away in June to the lake district and i fancied fishing over there, any advice on what rod, reel, line etc, all the stuff i would need as i have no idea....
ive been sea fishing for 1 year now, and love it, want to try the lakes etc, sounds lush, just sitting there chilling out with a beer waiting.

i was at Durham today, took a walk along the river... seen what i think are marks along there, wooden built things numbers marked on trees....
can u fish Durham river and if so do u catch much there....

thanx for any advice

If you go fly fishing now,the EA gestapo will assume you are after troot(which are in season)and You'll need a troot licence mate

I know these things,I'm a bailiff

the hardest part is learning to cast properly mate, i see you are from shields, have a word with yours truly ( terry woods, reelsport) he gives fly casting lessons and is in your area
