unusual and adventurous pictures of your fishing we had a whole raft of great fishing images but in the end i had to boil it down completely subjectively to five pictures really grateful for all your entries but here are the final entries that really stood out 1 jason coggins fishtec exclusive fishing luggage winner for anyone who loves wilderness fishing jason s image and report summed up the charm of the islands of western scotland such as islay wild trout lochs are a real feature on some islands but his shot was from the rugged coastline love the rusted old wreck and if that wasn t

shelters from ww2 are a classic on some of our canals 4 nicholas lawrence book winner when things get really cramped on a river you have to improvise a little or in this case climb a tree to get your

2016 picture competition strange waters have you fished anywhere wild different or downright weird lately regular readers of the blog and my angling times far bank column might already know of my love of bizarre and off the beaten trail places to fish i also know that many of you will be returning from travels in some pretty weird and wonderful places hence i wanted to celebrate the beautiful and bizarre places you go fishing with an exclusive competition open from now until sept 15th 2016 the rules are pretty simple all you have to do is share your fishing venue pictures along with a sentence or two describing the place why you were drawn to it and what s so special or unusual about it it needn t be exotic or far flung either travel destinations would be great but you could just as easily capture somewhere distinctly urban right on your doorstep just to start the ball rolling i ve described five of my favourites below from the streets of amsterdam to arctic norway prizes just to give you an extra incentive i ve wangled several neat prizes courtesy of fishtec and turrall flies to reward the best funniest and strangest entries these are as follows winner the ultimate travel fishing

don t work in childcare 4 runners up turrall flypod or signed copy of crooked lines fancy winning a brilliant boxed fly selection or a collectible 1st edition of my latest book four highly commended entries will be rewarded handsomely with one of these great fishing gifts the flypod is a brilliant concept for the travelling angler featuring a whole collection of proven deadly flies in a durable double sided box at less than 25 meanwhile crooked lines features two dozen of my finest funniest and strangest fishing stories and some truly eye opening fishing destinations described as an absolute treat and like what might happen if gierach john cooper clark and half man half biscuit got together and wrote about fishing if you believe the recent reviews how to enter just share your pictures on the dg fishing facebook page or simply email them to me domgarnett yahoo co uk do provide some info about the location what you might catch and what makes it unique you have one month from now to get your pictures in deadline 25th september and i ll be sharing and commenting on the images i like the best as we go you have been warned so without further ado here are five of my most memorable destinations from both the uk and abroad to get your brain ticking over 1 arctic norway it s one thing to still want to fish when the mercury hits silly temperatures but quite another to pack a drill and get fishing in northern norway this is a reality for anglers who must find a way or take an unbearably long break on my trip to skaidi we used foot long rods and fished through holes no wider than a dinner plate to catch arctic char a reindeer skin protects your backside from freezing while snacks include dried halibut and whisky by night it got down to 20c but we carried on fishing actually inside the tent 2 pant y llyn wales some of the most uncannily beautiful waters of all are those little altered by man pant y llyn is one of those places you simply have to fish at least once in your life especially if you are a bit of an old school carp fishing romantic you won t find bloated boilie fed forty pounders here but you might just tangle with some of britian s most classic looking fish as it is one of the only remaining fisheries with true wild carp it s also one of the tales featured in crooked lines while you can also book a days fishing there yourself with the wye and usk foundation 3 river wandle london urban fisheries produce some of the most surprising sport in the uk among the most fascinating is london s river wandle where i fished with conservationist theo pike in spite of a history of severe pollution the river is now bouncing back and has everything from wild trout to roach chub and even the odd barbel even so it s an odd feeling casting a fly or trotting a float while double decker buses and police cars pass 4 caerphilly castle since the age of about seven i think most of us can admit to having a secret fantasy about being a feudal baron with ultimate power medieval weaponry and a stinking great big castle right well it s never going to happen but for a day at least you can enjoy not only one of the oldest castles in britain but fish in its 25 or so acre moat how cool is that there are roach bream carp and even a few pike here if you can find a castle type venue to top this make sure you send us a picture 5 amsterdam a haven for tourists and travelling hedonists you might assume the waters of amsterdam were too dirty to hold much life and you d be wrong countless canals and other waters contain perch pike carp and some excellent zander fishing my good friend dutch fishing guide pim pos has even cast a line in the city s notorious red light district the city is also famous for its art museums fantastic food and drink and strange smelling tobacco which i am told can make one somewhat dizzy not that you probably need it with swims like the one below complete with pair of dismembered plastic legs ok over to you all you have to do is post your pictures here good luck posted by dominic at 10 03 no comments labels competition crooked lines fishtec strange waters turrall flies wednesday 24 august 2016 late summer fishing highs and lowlives in another interesting week of summer fishing i ve been cramming in the short sessions wherever possible once again a bit of a scattergun approach perhaps but as we head into the end of august you do get that feeling that there is only so much summer left with time so precious and limited some regular followers will no doubt relate to the plight of the multiple job man in the eyes of the tax system at least i have no fewer than four different jobs and although much of my time is to do with the things i love it is sill work and it can be tricky to free a few hours just to sneak off down the river or spend a bit of time with the wife and no technology in sight chance would be a fine thing quite often i want to bung my phone into the sea one benefit of my hours writing blogs and other copy for clockwork a marketing company near newton abbot is that i finish my office hours only a short distance from the sea and with darren sieminski one of our ace website designers a keen sea angler himself another post work trip to the coast was overdue we parked by living coasts slightly cheaper than the 24 hour robbery of the marina carpark grabbed some tea straight from the outdoor market in torquay before fishing the left hand wall of the outer harbour caught in about ten different minds i had bundled four different rods in the car along with lrf lures and some bait darren could have been forgiven for looking a bit confused not that it took long to get bites i had two small wrasse right from the off on small plastic worms fished dropshot style meanwhile darren had a small pollack on float tackle he had released it carefully but just as it looked as if it might recover a seagull nabbed it after that we had little for an hour aside from a brief altercation with a guy on the other side of the wall who insisted on wanging his rigs right round our side of the barrier and then throwing a a strop when the lines got caught seriously i do worry about anyone who would hurl abuse at a complete stranger over something as petty as who has the right to cast where as someone who worked for years with junkies alcoholics and violent offenders i m fairly well versed in keeping calm and not lighting any fuses our friend here could have done with a similar lesson because on a sea wall threatening behaviour could lead to someone getting injured or killed but hey ho this is public fishing i guess we also saw an inflatable boat fishing and moving right in feathering range of the pier perhaps a southwest contender for the darwin awards on the cards our bad tempered friend then promptly left just as the tide was climbing and the light went dimpsy so much for picking your moment because the fishing improved greatly as night approached i had a lure caught pouting above on a weedless rigged isome section before giving darren a crack with the lure rod and baiting up a bottom rig with a prawn not so long ago i wouldn t have given supermarket prawns a second look but they seem to make pretty decent baits for flatties and smaller species just about able to pick out the rod tip by the lights of the fairground in the distance i had a really rod rattling bite it wasn t the four pound bass i had imagined but nevertheless a very welcome rockling my first as it happens i m no expert on the different types of rockling so perhaps someone could enlighten me i gather they will also occasionally take lures it was a lovely evening in fact totally forgetting about phones an...
