Quick thread about a section of river I have found, looks excellent, under fished, has all the hallmarks of a good barbell stretch of the upper Trent. But.... here's the potential catch... . its on private land that has a footpath that runs along the riverbank for several fields. so I'm thinking, I have a license, its a public footpath, there are no club signs and nothing that says no fishing.
I have tried to contact the landowner (who owns swaths of land, and will have a busy diary) but I get put hold by his PA (3 times now) when I try to call to find out about possibly fishing the river.
so...can I fish? is it legal? bit of a quandary really. I have made every effort to obtain permission but I cant really see any reason why I cant fish? if im wrong please advise!
