Graham,
This article is rather thought provoking and I am glad that you bring the activities of these mindless thugs to light (it would appear that these so called do gooders are trying to use what ever means of violence against adults and children alike and in my view are no better than a street mugger). I can understand that they wish to get their point across, but there are ways and means of doing so and this is not the way to do it.
I am an angler of 20 years and proud of it, and have done my share to help with the environment be it reporting pollution to the EA, or helping clear up after other river users have left. I know that there is still a fair amount of work for us anglers to do in showing the general public that we have an important role in the countryside and how much will be lost if our sport is withdrawn.
I would say to all anglers that we need to ensure that we clear up after our trip to the bankside and make it harder to these so called do gooders to find fault in what we enjoy.
