I've heard hat some commercial fisheries ban brollies and bivvies. Why would this be? Other than holes in the ground or eloquent banging poles in I can't see why?

I've known match type commercials to ban ribbed shelters, bivvys and storm sided brollies (usually when space is limited and they don't really want that kind of angling). I've known specimen carp waters that only allow green coloured shelters, bivvys and brollies (ostensibly so that people blend in a bit, but mainly to keep what is derogatively known as "the blue tent brigade" away). I've heard of continental waters where groundsheets, and particularly sewn in fixed groundsheets, aren't allowed (down to laws on camping and tents, fixed ground sheets being deemed to be tents).

Probably aesthetics ?
One more question are commercials the new centrepins ?

I like that new commercial, the one for Carlsberg based on "The Great Escape"

Perhaps people have stolen fish inside collapsed brollies before, hence the bans???
I have seen trout smuggled out in rod bags from Ardleigh in matchmans rod holdalls.

Is it to keep the Larger swilling Carp Boys away because then they will have nowhere to stash their crates of Tennants extra strong?
No but the matchmen were.

Larger swilling is down to soft bailiffing and it is not just so called carp anglers who swill larger.:wh

So, you turned a blind eye then?
They were my own friends on the annual roach match at Ardliegh which was a trout fishery then not any more for some reason the company found they could not make it pay:wh
