    Head torches and swim disturbance

    I have watched and caught barbel on the Lee using a headtorch and on the subject of noise I have used a petrol strimmer on the Avon 6 foot from a shoal of chub in 2 foot of water and they never moved. Another day you could put a foot gently down and they would all spook.

    End of an era, for me

    Good luck Paul, fully understand your decision. I am lucky in that my legs haven't given up yet but age is catching up, now choose swims near to where I park. Has anybody else noticed that the best swims are always the furthest ones. I don't go fishing anywhere near as many times as I used to...

    Neil, the proof was that a large group of the public were watching them and that included an RDAA manager, you are correct in that it shouldn't happen but it did.

    Misinformed as always Joe, if you believe a group of 7 otters together is natural that is your choice.

    Angling Times otter article

    You don't seem to get it Joe, we all know that there are other issues as well as otters, most anglers would be happy to see the odd otters but not the house trained ones that were released into our rivers illegally and will be again. It isn't exactly natural to see 7 otters together in the...
