    I was told yesterday by a bailiff that its against the law to remove weed from a river because it is the property of the Environmental Agency. (not a bailiff on the river I fish) I cannot find reference to this anywhere on the web. Has anyone else heard this before? Russ

    Attacking a water with a suspected Cat.

    5 metre Bait spoon

    Right I made one last night, a 6 meter whip I had spare, took the last section out and then popped a rod rest with a flared bottom as the final section.
