If the AT hasn't got the members it needs then perhaps they ought to be asking themselves why its not all down to apathy imo. They have become far to entwined with the EA for my liking and are now to financially reliant on them to part from them, to many PR releases and not enough concentration...

Imo they are almost joined at the financial hip

At one time when the EA first came into existence it was supposed to be a body that would challenge the government on all things environmental, things have changed since then now they are just a government puppet.

Jason I was a member of the old ACA and would now be a member of fish legal if I was allowed to join that separately but its not possible in England although it is in other parts of the UK which I find very strange. "Cutting my nose off to spite my face" possibly but I just cannot bring myself...

Haven't purchased any from that supplier but have in the past purchased from e bay at a fraction of the price of that charged in tackle shops. It has always performed as it should.

Jason why do you think that anglers reasons for not joining the trust are "excuses" I was a member I no longer am a member and have valid reasons for not joining again, if you would like to hear those reasons please let me know and I will PM you, to list them on here will I feel only lead to a...

I am afraid that there are no votes to be had by cutting into water companies profits or the shareholders dividends. Who is going to pay for it? in the end it will be the customers of the water companies that will but only if the companies are forced by law to use the already available...

Improved to what standard?

I received this e mail today, it looks as if it has caused a stir Dear Friends, I just wanted to write and thank every one of you for signing the petition and all your support so far; we are nearing 6000 signatures which has not only caused the press to sit up and take notice, but also Michael...

I have used single heavily flavoured baits in the past for carp at long range, the flavours were all natural being included in the base mix that my bait was made of, I didn't notice any drop off of catches but I do believe that some of the carriers used in artificial flavours can put fish off if...

I wonder how many anglers in favour of retaining the closed season happily fish for Pike or Perch during their spawning period? if the closed season is to encompass all breeding species it would need to be very long. As it stands the closed season cannot cover all species, it also doesn't...

I am sure that you are right Richard, the point I wanted to make but didn't very well was that even with course anglers off the bank others take their place on some rivers so the "rest" spoken of just doesn't exist

Wading about in rivers with a fly rod walking on the shallows that fish may use /have used for spawning will do more damage imo than getting rid of the closed season, we grumble about paddlers wading shallows , I don't see any difference. The purpose of the closed season was redundant many...

Marketing and possibly centre pin snobbery

Done

Its obvious that those that have supported the petition are happy to wait to see what "none lethal" methods may be available and are not the ones calling for a cull, yes there are those that would like to see them culled but that sort of action will not ever be allowed. As lethal means to...

Can I just ask please where has a cull of otters been mentioned?

You could take a different view that he blocks people that would hound him on FB same as happened when he took a few Grayling to eat. There are those on there who's sole intention seems to be trouble making its nothing more than trolling, blocking is the only way to stop it, I believe that...

No that's not possible but it might arrest more damage being done. Getting our rivers back into a healthy state with healthy fish stocks that can support predators will be a massive job as I am sure you are aware but that job is made even more difficult by the fact that those with the option...

And without trying nothing will come from that either. What is a more realistic approach to helping rivers? the government doesn't care about them, their progress since the Water Frame Directive came about has been pathetic with just 17% of our rivers reaching a very modest good this in...
