Hi there Richard,
It looks like I'm the first angling digger (or digger who goes fishing) to put his head above the parapet.
Coarse angler. Favourite fish: Roach and Tench (although I only seem to catch carp these days...)
As an amateur, though, it is a case of one or the other. If a serious archaeological project comes along, it can often mean no fishing for a long time.
Sometimes the archaeology interrupts the fishing, as when I found myself walking along a small river running through arable land which had recently been ploughed.
I was looking at the river for a good looking spot, and the first six furrows simultaneously!
