Nice bit of info Dave...Thanks for that and much appreciated.

Kevin...My email address is rollingpinboy@aol.com. If you send me them all or the best ones, then i can sort them out. Also, i am looking for some pics before the carnage to compare, but not worried when they were taken like in summer or other time. ..or even when the EA/Contractors are chopping...

Kevin/Bill...and all. The Angling Trust/Fish Legal are on the case regarding the EA tree and bankside veg destruction, and have asked for photos from different areas and other UK rivers. They are making the issue public. If you or others have any pics showing the carnage on your stretches, then...

Go for it Paul...i and others will pump it out everywhere around the UK including environmental groups and wildlife trusts, press etc. The EA certainly won't like it and will expose and embarrass them to their knees....then they will hoof the blame to the NFU/government etc.

Generally...if the SE region EA are hosting meetings and drop ins etc, then you can pretty well guarantee that they have already made up their minds to knock down the weirs.. in my opinion. I think you will have to find some pretty good reasoning to why they should'nt or can't do it. The EA are...

I know that the BDAS club is involved as they have one of the banks at Ashurst Weir and they have objected to its removal. You have a PM

I have put the R.Medway weir removal subject on various FB pages to try and gain more info etc, to where it has received a good number of responses. A lot of them are on the EA's own FB page post to where they have thrown a few of their cut down trees/logs into a stream saying that it is a dam...

I am afraid that this type of habitat destruction is what the EA do Kevin without ever publicising it. They only publicise the hyped EA repair stuff and re-stockings and hide the real truth in what they do. They should have informed and asked the club and landowner for permission to access the...

I hear that Ashurst Weir on the R.Medway is due to be demolished by the EA. Any more info on that? https://environmentagency.blog.gov.uk/2016/09/23/restoring-rivers-to-their-natural-state/

I am sure i have heard about the 3rd rod set up rod before being 'not allowed' somewhere a long time ago. Maybe it was a club rule, but can't be sure where i saw or heard it. Dave, I remember you did put it up. Here's another EA 'Conflict of Interest' law regarding Eels that needs to be...

This is the most EA's diabolical and nosensical rule/byelaw that needs to be dumped immediately regarding the freebie killing of our river fish...including multiple amounts of barbel. Coarse fish removal On rivers, you may take no more than one pike of less than 65 cm per day; two grayling of...

I would ask similar...Can we do anything about the EA, Water and Sewage Companies, National Farmers Union and some farmers demolishing and murdering our rivers making them near void of fish, eels, wildfowl, birds, amphibians, protected water voles, macro invertebrates (food for fish and...

...Not directly river Lea but relevant to the EA's habitat destruction on other rivers like the Kentish Stour etc via bankside vegetation removal and 'in river' mass mechanical weed cutting etc. I know the Lea and Colne can be added to the increasing list regarding EA habitat destruction of...

The EA/NE ceased weed cutting 'themselves' on the Hampshire Avon in 2009/10 stating a number of reasons including damaging the riverine habitat and cost, but it still goes on by a few others down here and the EA/NE will allow farmers to do it (probably by contractors) if they pay for it...

...only read the intro etc to 4 at the mo joe, but this bit says it all considering the EA and others are the ones who mass weed cut here, and on the Kentish Stour and many other UK rivers. 4. ‘To prevent flooding in the river catchment, a number of flood prevention works Have been regularly...

Some coarse species can tolerate lower water quality and lower oxygen levels as they do further downstream around Hackney Marshes and lower. However, if the water temp becomes hot in summer and low flows, then even they become 'at risk' as the pollutants in the river water become more and more...

Thanks for that Graham...much appreciated. Stephen, yes the case size matches the fish size quite well as described. I thought the auctioneers may have accidently mixed up the description as the lower Avon fish looks much longer and heavier and has the shape of a much larger and older barbel...

River Lea…As i have always said, it isn't only about Crayfish, Otters, Cormorants etc(they were not there when the middle to lower Lea decline started) to why they don't spawn properly and regenerate naturally like on lots of other rivers affected by the same. It's mainly due to the crap low...

Graham...can you check if the 1st top fish was a Royalty/Avon barbel 1906 and the weight etc, described by the auctioneer, if you have that info. The lower 2nd barbel looks much bigger than 5lb+. Many thanks
