In last weeks angling times I saw an article that actually quite disturbed me. It was the big fish article, this week fishing for barbel.
In it the guy said he uses halibut pellets, but warned not to use too many as they can damage fishes liver(i think). Why on earth are we chucking these things by the bag loads in our lakes,rivers etc if they are detrimental to the fishes welfare. How can the amount being used be monitered,espeically on natural venues. And with so many good quality pellets that do no harm to the fish, why on earth don't we just use these.
Ive never used high oil content pellets, such as trout or halibut pellets, and to be honest its rare for me to use any pellets. But these pellets have alot to answer for in the shape of huge, fat bloated carp. If they are causing harm to our fish stocks then surely something must be done. LOL and we are all worried about otters.
