I've just seen a notice that in 2008 the Enviroment Agency is to outlaw the use of hooks above a maximum 8mm gap.
Is this rule aimed towards an angling ban?
Here my permit says semi-barbless or crushed barbed hooks only,15lb mainline for pike and carp, 30lb minimum wire trace for pike.
No float for Salmon/Trout and no bait before June 16.
No worm or maggots.
No shrimp in September. so many restrictions it's hardly worth the
license fee especially now I can't get a concession on low income.
Mind you the swim/beats in question are often filled many with old cycles shopping trollies and drunk campers mess.
Our Canal & River Fisheries Manager need to pull his socks up a bit.
Does anyone know if Fish Spotting Sonar can show up metal and dumped objects this may help his staff who seem not to
notice the mess I see floating through our town trees blocking swims and dead branches dying off going downstream amongst general litter We suffer from too many rowers and not enough divers ready to prepare the swims.
Quite deeply raked sholuld some of our waters be. Just as I am looking for 18 hours a week working therapy.
