Having spent a week away at a re-education center I have seen the error of my ways and have changed my fishing philosophy absolutley
As the appointed ethical cleansing and propoganda general for the newly formed society for stillwater barbel, I must first take this opportunity to congratulate all of the anglers involved in such a brave new adventure. We shall eventually change the face of world fishing but first we must ensure the ethical purity of our own race!
We Will not accept any barbus species in western flowing rivers, they are a burden and nuisance upon the indigeonous species and bio-masse, therefore they should be herded together before they are evacuated to a suitable stillwater ghetto!
This is for the good of all and will ensure the continuing good sport for our match fishing idols!
All fishing clubs, which have within their length members of the barbus species should paint a large white cross upon their signs and write the word "BARBUS" below. This will assist our extraction teams on their holy cause to bring the barbus into enclosed areas where they will no longer have the freedom to roam and cause catastrophic mayhem to sensible anglers wishing to fish 1lb straight through on the stick!
Any club found harbouring the barbus without disclosure of the species presence will be wound up and its members sent for re-education.
you have been warned!
We have the rights to remove your prize specimens from your waters without notice to replensh the stocks within our wonderful stillwaters, where the fish recieve the very best in food and accomodation. Our extraction teams of eastern europeans will pay no remuneration for your losses as they are for the greater good!
REMEMBER THIS, IN FUTURE ALL FISHING WILL BE CARRIED OUT FROM SAFE AND SECURE AREAS WHERE YOUR EVERY MOVE CAN BE MONITORED FOR ETHICAL PURITY!!
