I was reading in a "ANGLING" magazine, dated 1959 i think, an article about the state of the rivers. The writer suggested that fish populations most definately come in cycles...
I think the age of communication has really had a massive impact on the percieved condition of the rivers, people are keeping, and sharing records on their angling more and more.
Anglers are DEMANDING information from the likes of the EA, and fishery owners....
Thing is.... how much of it can we do something about.... and how much is just natures "cycle"?.... The abundence of small fish being stocked for exhample.. is that a good thing?.. does it restrict the overall growth of other species?... etc etc
