Much as I detest and have objected so much to the close season on rivers, a law that is Victorian and well out of date, it is still a law and one that MUST be upheld.
Had a phone call this morning from a concerned member of the public, three men, European type, were fishing the river from Iffley Meadows, part of our stretch at Oxford. He did advise them that there was a close season, but received the usual abuse.
Being the close season I asked him to contact the EA on the 0800 807060 number, but in the meantime I phoned the local Enforcement Officer up, I have all their numbers now just in case, and he nipped around there pretty quickly.
Three anglers now charged with coarse fishing out of season.
RESULT! ??????
