Very good, Wabbit. Next, what the heck is coarse fishing - period? - Jeremias, Sep 4, 2011

There is a "coarse fishing" season in Britain. It is illegal to do coarse fishing outside this season (to protect the fish) - ian-hill, Sep 5, 2011

I only wanted know in order to create a single sentence for these words - course - cause - coarse - ian-hill, Sep 5, 2011

Answer 1

Maybe if I explain it I will get an answer.

Coarse fishing - is a sport like other forms of fishing.

It is limited to all forms of fresh water fish with the exceptions of salmon and trout.

I can find nothing in Spanish for this - but I would have thought that Argentina would have an expression for it - because they do a lot of it in Patagonia.

Ah, I see. Fishing for the lower class forms of fish, not the aristocracy. A VERY British concept, IMHO :) Fortunately, I do all the trout fishing I want just a block from my house, and I don't have to be a lord to do it! - Jeremias, Sep 4, 2011

Yes, I am teasing, mate! I hope you don't mind. - Jeremias, Sep 4, 2011

I would love to fly fish for trout in Patagonia! - Jeremias, Sep 4, 2011

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coarse_fishing - website placed to further explanation; I am not a fisherman, so I do not even know what this is in American English- we have fly fishing, but the terms do not seem to be synonymous. Sorry. :-( - Stadt, Sep 4, 2011

I don't mind at all jeremias - I had never thought of it as you have here - but you are right. A very British distinction. - ian-hill, Sep 5, 2011

Gracias su majestad :) - ian-hill, Sep 5, 2011

When I mean "your majesty" ? - ian-hill, Sep 5, 2011

Answer 4

I only wanted to know in order to create a single sentence for these words:

course - cause - coarse

Not a debate about the English "class system"

I have known that I am "lower class" since I was a little boy.

My teachers and others told me so

I know my place. (in society)

Answer 5

Ok Ian you have my attention, are we fishing for "rough fish" the less edible varieties or are we fishing in a rough ( or country or native sort of way).

The "lower class" of fish :) - as noted by Jeremias in his comments." - ian-hill, Sep 5, 2011

Very "British" right? :) - ian-hill, Sep 5, 2011

Answer 6

From what I've seen, legering is "pesca de fondo."

Just in case it helps, a bit more info on coarse fishing off Wiki.

Answer 8

I agree with Pacofinkler that in the US this might be referred to as "rough" rather than "coarse".

If you look at this Field & Stream site they refer to "rough" species of fish (like carp; other than game fish) and "rough" fishing. (I was looking at the article after reading Stadt's article on UK fishing, in particular, legering. That sounds very similar to "snag" fishing which is illegal in most of the places that I have fished. I see in the Field and Stream site that it is legal in certain places for certain species of fish.)
