This is a dedicated thread for discussing article: Otters and Other Stuff...
As I understand it Mark, 1999 was the last of the introductions.
Well that's if you overlook re-intrductions of sick/injured otters; a practice that is wholly unnatural!
But do gooders can't help interfering with things...
I disagree and agree.I too disagree about the 'foreign' stance on wels and zander Mark. They are in our waters and have been reproducing here for many decades so IMO should be considered as British fish. But just because other anglers don't agree with that assessment wouldn't stop me joining the ATr - that's just shooting oneself in the foot.
As PAC secretary at the time that the 2010b changes were being consaulted upon I was involved oin the consultation and I along with others expressed the feeling that the time was right for both wels and zander to be taken off the illegal aliens list, but basicaly the feeling coming back from the AT was that it would take too long and would hold up the fishery by law changes, changes that in my opinion were knee jerk in the extreme and have done little to nothing to solve or erradicate the problem on which they were brought in to solve.
