Sorry chap don't agree. Even if you own a house outright you'll be paying at least £2K in council tax, gas and electric and t.v. licence, probably more like £2.5K. If you don't have a mooring for your boat the equivalent costs will be lower, and houses need maintaining too.

35ft boat without a home mooring, do all my own maintenance, £2000 a year which allows £400 a year towards major repairs.

Thanks for the info. It's fascinating how these two species live their lives, surpassed in the fish world only perhaps by the eel. It's a crying shame that it's all being destroyed, primarily by the salmon farming industry. I was on the Tweed in late July there was barely a fish in it. OK there was no water but there should have still been fish trapped in the pools.
-
Both, potentially. Spawned out salmon are known as kelts. They are sickly, close to death and not good to eat. Actually salmon begin to deteriorate quite soon after entering the river, within a matter of weeks. I'm not so sure with sea trout but I believe it's similar.
-
Actually some clubs or river owners forbid fishing for salmon and/ or sea trout other than on the fly. Others only allow methods other than the fly when the river is above a certain level, when fly fishing can be impossible. Some anglers, myself included, will only fish for game fish on the fly, through choice.

I enjoy a weekend fly fishing for brown trout and grayling on the Tweed and Teviot each summer, and usually fluke a splendid sea trout or two. They go back of course. I earn less than the minimum wage. Just goes to show you, it pays not to stereotype.

Agreed, apart from perhaps the bit about superior intellect, this being the self-perception of the few, rather than being a divine fact. I also received a warning point which on reflection, was deserved. I guess everyone has their limit, I'd grown tired of the personal attacks, and my olive branches were rejected.
