Great article save for theparagraph on theRSPB. The water was up for sale and no club or syndicate wanted to buy it.I personally find it stunning that with anglers prepared to spend hunddreds if not thousands of pounds each year on theirsport be it on tackle, day tickets, club memberships or whatever, no organisation or body was prepared to put their money with their mouth was.
Bird wtachers may be an odd bunch but the RSPB does a damngood job. It preserves habitat that might otherwise be lost to development and its record on research and conservation is second to none. While many anglers are conservation minded, theevidence of litter left on the bank, discarded lengths of line, bread and groundbaitleft to attractrats and calls for pike, cormorants and other species to be culled suggests otherwise.
