Nick, I too like fishing hard waters such as Willesley and Horseshoe and I enjoy the surroundings regardless of my catch rate.
I have never subscribed to the "catch at all costs" mantra and I'm happy to take a nice 20 from a water which lacks larger fish.
I haven't been called an idiot for some time. It's good to know that I can still provoke some level of debate. Thank you, dave_3.
