Magic Of Redmire 1991 by Iain Rothwell ( Rushes Lake )

MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS…….

September 1st 1991 saw us standing on the dam wall of Redmire, we had been planning this trip since our weekend here the previous year, and here we were totally ‘blown away’ yet again! I almost had to pinch myself. My spine was tingling ... this was indeed a magical place for any carp angler., recalling all the stories I had read in Quest for Carp and Casting at the Sun, we all looked at each other and it was obvious how we all felt indeed no words were necessary. All round the lake there are overhanging trees and huge weed beds, making it the carpiest looking water I had ever seen, also the most secluded and quietest place imaginable.

A Brief History Of Fishing

A Brief History Of Fishing.

How It All Started:
Fishing is an ancient practice that dates back at least to the Paleolithic period which began about 40,000 years ago. Arecheology features such as shell middens discarded fish bones and cave paintings show that sea foods were important for survival and consumed in significant quantities. During this period, most people lived a hunter and gatherer lifestyle and were, of necessity, constantly on the move. However, where there are early examples of permanent settlements (though not necessarily permanently occupied) such as those at Lepenski Vir, they are almost always associated with fishing as a major source of food.
