Leaving for the UK May 24th. Any info?

[DementedFish]

As I'm sure a few of you know by now, Jon and I are heading to England and Scotland in 3 weeks for some fishing. Anyone have any suggestions on where we should fish?

Depends what you're fishing for. Lots of great trout waters up north, good carp ponds central and southern. You gotta try for some pike, in most rivers, lakes, ponds. Coarse fishing for dace, roach, rudd, tench, chubb on most rivers and ponds. Sounds like a great trip! Have you got an itinerary?

No, we're building our itineary based on where we decide to fish. As of right now, we arrive on the 25th, and have a scheduled guided trip on the morning of the 26th on the Devon River near Exeter. After that we're not sure where we're going however there are a few other locations such as the River Earn, Avon, and Tweed that we're thinking of fishing.

Pointers you ask? Yah, before you mak-out with the Brit broads, tell them not to smile.

If you're driving up to Scotland, instead of flying, you'll love going through the Lake District. Gorgeous countryside, and be sure you have your fly-rod.
Take lots of pictures for us.

Leave the trout alone! You have trout in California. Go after the other fish that you don't see at home!! Most of all, have a great trip guys!!!

They have funny ideas on fishing there...if you fly fish, be sure to bring plenty of midges (jk).

You'll feel really bad if you do hook her

They seem to believe in dry fly fishing only, over there...unless it's for salmon...

That's a deep-azz lake in Scotland where the Loch Ness Monster is supposed to make periodic appearances for photo ops. Google Loch Ness and you'll see all kinds of pictures and videos of "Nessie." Despite all the pictures--and dozens of scientific expeditions--including mini-sub exploration, no one has been able to prove that the monster exists. Of course, nobody has actually fished for the monster before. Somebody should bait up a winch with a big grappling hook weighted with a 25 pound bounce ball sinker and a 50 lb. salmon--or Ronnie Kovach--whichever is available
