very newbie

[jona]

Hi all,I'm new to all this. I've been fishing for years but want to try kayak fishing in the canals/ rivers local to me.
Could someone point me in the direction of a thread that explains basics ie do I need any sort of permit apart from rod licence? How do I know if I'm allowed to fish somewhere? I'm in St Albans but happy to travel.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks all and tight lines

Hers a little information for you.

Welcome to the site, if possible try and get to a meet to see the different kayaks we all use and try before you buy to see what suits, one size most definitely does not suit all in this game.

Welcome Jona mate.

As Stu say keep you eyes open hopefully once the season starts there will be one or two small get togethers with a range of kayaks and rigging, you can learn so much from seeing other yaks and their owners.

Please don't make the mistake, as many of us have, of buying a kayak without having tried one or two first. What's good for me is rubbish to others and visa versa.
