Reading through the sentimental journeys thread (an excellent thread) it strikes me there is a theme, that of diminishing access to waters. Many appear to be out of bounds now that were once waters where many a young person first picked up the bug for fishing. And even if fishing was not allowed, the youngster would probably have not got into big trouble if he did fish; and as one poster commented he was not aware he was not allowed to fish it. But would anyone in authority have worried about it much back then, maybe a gentle telling off.
There are many aspects of our sport that's gone in the wrong direction in my opinion, and this one has probably been out of our control in many cases but, not all. Should we doing more about it? Should more authorities, councils, water owners etc be encouraged to relent on this by our angling bodies and officials..
