It was too easy as the ponds were massively overstocked with Carp.
I enjoyed sitting on the bank, watching my float but I did feel really guilty, catching fish for my own enjoyment.
I am looking to fish the canal up through pontypool to brecon this spring for pike and perch on spinners

Like you I am not a fan of the commercial places where the fish are jumping out of the pond at you

I do a lot of sea fishing these days but a lot of sea anglers are tossers and leave loads of litter unlike coarse anglers who on the whole tend to keep places tidy

An element of cruelty , unintentional , in fishing is unavoidable sadly

Unlike fox hunting which I really can't abide
