It is a total myth that women’s pheromones have an affect on fish, this was started by Carp anglers many years ago mainly as a joke about their baits. All fish can’t detect female pheromones and that’s a clinical fact.

It’s a natural and humane way of catching a feed.
Have done it myself in a small stream in NZ many years ago.
Yes,it’s illegal there too, Dave. Why???
The trout isn’t even a native of NZ.
Some laws are worth disregarding Dave!

There used to be a programme on itv many years ago presented by a countryman who demonstrated country crafts. I think his surname was Hargreaves. Maybe there is some archive foootage somewhere, ‘cos I remember seeing him demonstrate the skill of trout tickling. Have just googled , and His Name was Jack Hargreaves and the programme he presented was called Out of Town and it looks like dvd’s are available. It seems any useful skills where man may utilise skills to feed himself and produce anything to earn a living are demonised illegalised or abandoned because we can import the produce more cheaply! I fear for the ability of us to support our selves in the future. What happens when we cannot get supplies or afford the supplies from abroad?

The best things in life seem to be the sort of thing mr plod frowns upon. Don’t you think?
There’s nought better than going home with a little something in ya pocket and, if that little something was swimming, running or growing moments earlier then you know it’ll taste all the better when you eat it in the next half hour or so. AND if that little something belongs to somebody else because the law says so then hey! what e don’t know won’t hurt e.
Used to tickle a few trout, it’s worth the first fifty trys to succeed believe me.some of you will, some of you won’t but if you stick with it you’ll see what i mean. Hoping to find a suitable stream soon as its been twenty years. Just got me a pair of lovely ferrets Orm and Sylke. Started hunting rabbits with the air rifle again. Enjoying the Autumn and all its fruits. Generally going back to my roots and my youth. Towns shit!! enjoy Owen.
