whilst fishing,if ur catching but others arent should you let on what your catching on or should you keep it to yourself or lie

The usual is what you catching on?

Answer various

It is a superb all catcher fly and very closely guarded.

But any decent angler will tell you what they are catching on ,whats to hide really?Its about helping one another,but sometimes egos get misplaced.

i always say wot ime catching on anything to help but ive had some folks that do lie or just tell you a load of *******s

Share your success, I always do if someone asks, it's rewarding in its own right.

Most folk will tell you, some will give you a fly, some will tell you before you even ask but there are plenty arrogant *******s around that wouldnt give you a sniff of their ****

Just as many ignorant ****ers that are not interested in your help or advice though

People? bunch of *******s (roy - IT Crowd)

Sell them a fly

I'll always tell people what I'm using if asked and 95% of the time I'll end up passing them a fly if I've got extras of what's working. I've also met with the same open attitude the vast majority of the time that I've approached another angler.

I would consider myself as a Gentleman of the Angle; and help others accordingly!

Yes, just like Vermontdrifter, I have helped other anglers and received help from other anglers! I believe it's a passion and love of fishing we can all share with each other!

Unless its a comp, I'll always tell others yes

I agree, I would always help another angler if I was approached. I have to say being 43 now, I can look back to the days when a couple of mates and I used to fish Grafham, during the course close season, and we must have been real 'numpties' i guess, but everyone, and I mean everyone helped us out. We were then early 20's, I suppose typical lad types, but the fly anglers were all gents.

I can remember having some fantastic conversations with fly anglers, help was very forthcoming. One chap, Bob Worts, I remember his name, had a huge beard, and I stood watching him casting and stripping flies for ages, he was a mighty helpfull chap.

Some of the old Grafham boys, were obviously into the competitions, and consequently a bit more reserved, but I would have to say, nearly all the fly guys we met would have been gtreat to share a boat with.

ONly this year, my other half and I were at Grafham, and we struck up conversation one evening with a nice guy, turned out to be an England fisher, with his England Cap, gave me his card and asked if I'd like to do a boat day with him?

I think its all because, in course fishing, the fish go back, get harder to catch and peeps are wary of what information to give away, Trouts generally get bumped on the head, so there is little need for a competetive edge.

That, and I genuinly believe that Game anglers are a 'Higher Class Species'!
