Aren't cattle and machinery crossing rivers just part and parcel of country life and just something a farmer has to do. I don't get it really either. Farmers must hate the angling trust and fish legal. What bothers me is I can still fish a couple of places with the kind farmers permission for free yet, they seem to be forever prosecuting them for something or other-when's it going to be they will all just turn against anglers. How often do the angling trust or fish legal try actually working with farmers to solve these problems? I would rather read that, a big meeting took place where on the agenda was pollution, cattle crossings etc and solutions were found or some beneficial compromise even. You would think all the clubs, angling organizations and farmers would all benefit from a bit of this instead of you do what we want or we will sue you. But then no one makes any money; right, is this what it is really about, AT-fish legal paydays; do they really want to solve these problems. Just never feels quite right to me but then I am a simple soul I suppose.
