Hi folks,
After seeing the new water the BAA have obtained at Aberbechan, (Which is recognised for its good salmon fishing.) I began to wonder about the BAA's game fishing. As a member of the BAA for many years I've both fished and/or worked with the work party on every venue the BAA has which holds a head of game fish.
With new venues such as this new Aberbechan stretch and the new water on the river Aln I became surprised at just how many game fishermen I have seen throwing a fly down on the Aln on the dozen or so trips I have made there.
This got me wondering, what kind of response there would be to the idea of more game fishing in the BAA, both rivers and or still waters.
So just as a measure anyone who would fish or be interested in having game rivers or trout still-waters featured more in the BAA please drop a comment below!

Re: Game Fishing for BAA
I am a reservoir fluff chucker at heart but have bought a small 4# wand and had a few dabbles and managed to catch a very small brownie on a nymph in the summer which was a first. I could do with going with others that know what they are doing on rivers.
In general it is good fun but usually involves being in the river with chest waders as the banks are not ideal for back casts.
Maybe we could encourage some sessions with some of the seasoned fly fishers to show others the ropes. I know they are in the BAA but don't often post on here.
