What about Scotland area,surely good for sea and river Salmon fishing ,plus low population density...there is some good
course fishing up there as well ,apparently..?

Scotland is predominantly game, trout, charr, Ferrell trout and salmon etc. as I saw. There is pike and course. Did the NC 500 a couple of years ago, took my spinning rod, nearly everywhere I stopped was sewn up by fishing clubs or private owners and you could pay stupid money for a day ticket.
Sea fishing is great, caught loads of mackerel and pollack on small lures and as a whole is free

Some say, for all round angling happiness that's course, sea ,game,peace and quiet ,and value for money ,then up North is best ,especially near coastal areas ..
Would those that know or live up that way or fish up that way agree..?

On my doorstep, loads of carp over forty pound in several venues if that's your thing. Few places with old leney's that few know of. Beach a stone throw away . Great bass and mullet fishing in the harbours and rivers. Record barbel came from a local river but rivers not as many as there were .loads of small streams with trout and chub. Lots of small/juvenile seatrout but the proper fresh run from the sea are harder to locate and catch. Scotland is superb and there are places to fish for trout, seatrout and salmon at not to much money. Been up there twenty three times in the last three years both fishing and on the bike.also within ninety minutes drive the Avon ,test and tributaries, yately, burghfeild,wraysbury ect ect.

In response to the original question, i was going to say 'the wet parts' ....
I'd have to say that if you're just after big carp, then the north isn't the best, but if you're looking at all angling disciplines, scenery, value and less packed venues and stretches of water, then I do feel very lucky up here.
