Keith Arthur heads to the Celtic Sea in search of sharks

Keith Arthur, 27 August 2010 14:00

Although it seems that almost every time I pick up a fishing rod these days it is for professional purposes, I have to say it’s a very long way from all bad. After catching some big trout last week, my latest quest was to catch something considerably larger and possibly even more beautiful. For a long time I’d admired the ...

Stalking rainbow trout offers a real buzz for Keith Arthur

Keith Arthur, 20 August 2010 16:30

I’ve fished for, and caught, a fair few rainbow trout since first picking up a fly rod, courtesy of Rick, Rachel and Emma at Tackle Up in Bury St Edmunds in 1992. Among them have been some real crackers, too; the best being 18lb 10oz from Lechlade and 17lb 12oz from Syon Park - a fish that currently resides in a ...

Keith Arthur - High time for change in the keepnet laws

Keith Arthur, 13 August 2010 15:30

How rubbish an invention are nets? They seem to be the cause of all the major problems and issues in angling, from emptying the oceans (trawl nets) to losing a match angler, potentially, a few quid and lots in between (keepnets). The match angler in question complains that he didn’t win a competition because the fishery he chose to fish ...

Keith Arthur: 44 years of hurt? It all ends in glory for me

Keith Arthur, 06 August 2010 16:00

I’ve waited all that time to return to the Parlour Pool The last time I stood on the bridge over the Parlour Pool on the Royalty Fishery ¬ possibly the most famous and iconic swim on the most famous and iconic river in Britain ¬ was in 1966, just before England won the World Cup. Forty-four years later, a few ...

Environment Agency angler numbers just don't add up

Keith Arthur, 23 July 2010 16:00

Once again we have laughable figures that have no sound evidence being touted by the EA to produce numbers of anglers. You simply cannot argue with figures that are 100 per cent accurate, and if the EA brass insists that the latest numbers squeezed out by its latest research are correct, then they should all resign and let someone who ...

This year's Fish O Mania will be the closest battle yet

Keith Arthur, 13 July 2010 16:30

When Barry Hearn first sold the idea of a fishing match to Sky Sports, everyone thought the boss had gone mad. This was a company with a hard-nosed view of sports and making money. How would 16 anglers sitting round a lake fit in with that? Vic Wakeling was that man with the vision, and at his retirement party last ...

Forget the World Cup - this was England's finest hour!

Keith Arthur, 09 July 2010 15:30

Following England’s sad but entirely predictable departure from the FIFA World Cup in South Africa, I was listening to a discussion about the matter on radio. As usual the subject of how much money the players earn was discussed, and one commentator said that, ideally, the World Cup should be like the Olympics used to be…for amateurs only. In that ...

188lb skate was a 'hell of a fish' says Keith Arthur

Keith Arthur, 02 July 2010 16:00

As age creeps up on me the chance to catch special fish is taken with every opportunity. A couple of years ago I met with a lady who promised me that, one day, she would put me on a ‘special’ fish. That day arrived and Mary Gavin Hughes, Europe’s only woman charter boat skipper, kept her word. Thanks to my ...

River Thames opening day success for Keith Arthur

Keith Arthur, 25 June 2010 16:00

Almost everyone has ‘go-to’ words or phrases, things they say almost without thinking. I have two (at least!): ‘fantastic’ and ‘unbelievable’. However, on the first day of the season, June 16, both words were more than justifiable. Tight Lines invited ex-England goalie David Seaman to join me on the banks of the River Thames and we made an early start ...

Keith Arthur: Why angling must be run by anglers

Keith Arthur, 18 June 2010 15:00

It’s a shame that the EA budget is likely to be slashed by an amount of money. However, if this impacts directly on angling I may well join Des Taylor and refuse to buy a rod licence ¬ only for a vastly different reason. The money spent on angling is our money, with a small proportion coming from grant-in-aid from ...
