Was wondering what governing bodies there are for fishing in Scotland. For example England have the Angling Trust.
On places like the Tweed because of the Salmon this river is well looked after from poaching and so on. How ever places that are free to fish like a lot of waters in south west Scotland for pike and course fish are getting destroyed by anglers from eastern Europe. These waters being free to fish should be an absolute privilege. How ever it looks like some people just look at them as an opportunity to abuse by leaving litter all over the place and killing everything they catch no matter what size.
What can be done about it? My worry is these little unique places will be decimated in years to come. I would love for my kids and other peoples kids to be able to grow up and enjoy what these places have to offer.
