Game Fishing

Many years ago, the English gentry classified fish into categories. Salmon and trout were considered more palatable than the other varieties of fish, and were classified as 'Game' fish. All other fish present were classified as 'coarse' fish.
Game fishing is fishing for salmon, trout, seatrout or grayling using an artificial fly. You could be catching small grayling on a tiny dry fly from a small Hampshire stream, to huge salmon from a mighty Scottish river. You will be using a fly rod & reel, along with fly line that can a floating line or a sinking line, it all depends on the species of fish you are targeting and the style you wish to use. Guided Fishing has a comprehensive list of game fishing guides, who can instruct an absolute beginner, to helping iron out any fly casting problems for the more accomplished angler..
