My family is a member of a private fishing club which is of course outside London.

It's very cool!!!! The Russian government is afraid to introduce fishing licenses. There was such an attempt, but it was received very negatively.
I do not know any private fishing clubs.
In Kirov, the regional center, there is a private pond where you can catch trout, but the city Administration is waging its own little war against it. They want to destroy this "private fishing club".

In 2019, I used a GoPro camera to shoot my fishing trips. I even posted them on YouTube. But in February of this year, I deleted all my entries in my account for security reasons. I do not support the war in Ukraine.
