Graham, I would like to think, and hope, that all the SS and Specialist/Specimen groupsand anglers willbecome members of the AT in their own right, I wasn't thinking for a moment that each and every single group should haveit's own little place. However, as the SAA REPRESENTED all of those bodies and individual specialst anglers under the old system, I believe that as a movement 'Specialist Angling' should have been listed along side of the rest at the start.
The SAA will not be mentioned because it no longer exists.
You will remember that this site celebrated the life of Eric Hodgson, the founder of the theNational specimen movement, NASH,later to become NASA and thenthe SAA, only a few months ago, It would besad that the year that saw the birth of the AT also saw the death ofspecialist angling as a National movement.
I'm not saying anything here I haven't already said to Mark L and Mike.
'Fish 'O' Mania' has been added to the site since I brought up the SA issue!
Woody, I listened to a very interesting programme on BBC Radio 4 a few weeks ago aboutthe hydro plan on the Ribble, (Settle) at the end the EA fisheries guy made it very clear it wouldn't happen if the scheme interfered with the river as a salmon fishery.
