[FONT="]The following was recently recieved at FishingMagic HQ from Simon Walker. Preaching to the converted as far as most of our members are concerned we are sure but a timely reminder nonetheless to spread the word:[/FONT]

I come from a fishing background - my father was **** Walker - so I'm pro fishing. But - there's always a but, isn't there? But I'd appeal to your members to do all they can to recover broken line. In the last year I've seen a mute swan killed by it and a couple of days ago it was a coot at Grafham, with line round its leg, causing nasty damage and infection. It was a sorry looking bird and I give little hope for it. It's a very nasty way to go. I know it's not always possible to recover broken line; I've been in that position myself; but if you can, please try to do so. My late father always did, and I think he was right.
