      Used to have lots of fun pissing off anglers when I used to go kayaking on the canal / river.

      Tried it in the sea once. Yes it was bloody hard work.
      Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

        I think this would be one of the main reasons

          Anglers you just go to the other side and keep your voice down.

          this used to be the organisation to work with

          WHERE TO PADDLE
          I guess you need to know where the weirs are but assuming you have a boat not prone to capsizing, what are the main hazards to watch out for?

            You'll be one of the reasons for the, often, violent altercations, between boaters and anglers, then

            I'm, generally, more live and let live, but, you will be surprised how much damage a 3oz lead can do, when launched at a canoe.
            I'm also a very accurate caster

              shopping trolleys, idiots in other boats, swans (yep a broody swan is great fun), flotsam , heart attacks or cramp but mainly your own idiocy.
              Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                Used to get the odd nutter shouting "I'll come in and tip you over!". So you'd shout back "Well come on then!" from the safety of 6 foot deep water.

                Mostly we weren't do anything other than passing by but people would still get upset at us frightening away the fish. FFS everyone knows you don't go angling to catch fish; you go angling to sit motionless on a freezing river bank for hours in abject misery. Fish have got nothing to do with it.

                    Yeh, which is pretty much BS, anyway, in a flowing river they don't stay away from long.

                      I just pop out in one of these, takes out half the river as well

                      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
