I have fished in quite a few waters in my life where the filling in of a catch return form to be sent back to the authorities, has been mandatory.
In the USA for example this sort of thing is very common and it gives fishery owners and conservation bodies an accurate picture of what is being caught or what is not being caught.
When **** Walker had his stretch of the Ouse, he asked every guest to write a few words about what they had caught in the log book.
On the big reservoirs like Rutland of course there is a catch return form on the back of your ticket. This you complete and post in the many ticket boxes.
But what about coarse fishing waters?
Personally I think it would be a very good idea.
If you read reports of American waters you are given a very accurate picture of how the water is fishing. Eg: Week 15, 250 anglers caught 568 large mouth bass, best 11lbs - 479 released - etc.
Best bait - Brown gold flecked 6 inch Carolina rigged worm.
Would this work here?
