Do we really need fishing platforms on rivers?
I have seen a few people mention them, but are they really needed? The rivers I know of certainly wouldn?t take to them. I don?t think disabled anglers come into it either, as the access down to most rivers is hard going in the first place.
Do you prefer a natural bank, or do you prefer a peg made of scaffolding poles and planks? Even some still waters are ruined by over enthusiastic peg makers. And don't forget, the ones who make the platforms in the first place, could well be sighting them too close to a good swim, or block it off all together.
