Hi all, am i right in thinking that the EA designated demarcation point is the end point of river restrictions?
For years i have seen people fishing in the river freshney, during the closed season, without ever being challenged. There was a good 7/8 people fishing it on saturday, while i was there watching/feeding the fish. bear in mind this is inthe middle of the town centre, so people must see it going on.
Having looked at the byelaws, i notice for the river freshney that the demarcation point is the flottergate sluice, which it appears (according to ordnance survey), is actually inland of the point i am talking about.
any clarification regarding this demarcation point would help, as if i can legally fish it, i'll be buzzing, as there is definitely large shoals of roach and perch there at the moment, and several carp, of varying sizes, with at least one that looks to be pushing the twenty mark!
