This will be interesting….

That will be the experts, no doubt.

Unlikely, I'd imagine.

Infuriatingly. This, from the Beeb’s website…

In February, the Environment Agency said, external six anglers were found guilty of fishing illegally in London and were fined £2,182 collectively.

At the time, Richard Tyner, area fisheries team leader at the Environment Agency, said: "We inspect rod licences 24/7, 7 days a week to check on cases of illegal fishing, and for those caught cheating the system, we will always prosecute.

"Illegal fishing undermines the Environment Agency's efforts to protect fish stocks and make fishing sustainable."

The BBC asked the Environment Agency if Lammy had been fined and it did not answer the question.


We will always prosecute, They say.

Yeah, right.

Still, if I forget to renew my rod license it seems “administrative error” is all I need to absolve myself.
 
I believe there’s some nice carp in there. I did some work experience many years ago with the land agents that managed the place. From memory there was a meeting going on with a colonel who worked there and I had to wait in the car 😂 I had a black eye after an eventful weekend and probably didn’t look the part. It seemed the sort of place that would have had some massive uncaught leneys. For about 5 minutes on the way up the drive I had delusional dreams of fishing it. In absence of any permission, policemen with machine guns made it seem unappealing.
