Joe, no knickers are twisted here, its just a discussion piece, and worthy of discussion I think, but as anglers we would see it differently, however others will see it through different eyes... but I take your point.

Its always been seen that fish dont feel pain in the normal sense of things, this law and the setting up of a committee to enforce it and specifically to deal with this and other other related subjects will see it differently I fear, it will basically say that fish and other creatures with a...

So all animals with a backbone are to be recognised by the UK as being sentient, this could be passed over as an unusual word that we have rarely or never used, but if you are an angler, a fishery owner, its extremely important and has possible, significant ramifications for our future, "the...

The survival rate of aquacultured fingerling barbel is less than 2%...so 4000 would end up less than 100, so its an utter waste of time and money, 1500 were stocked into the Dorset Stour about 2 years ago, they disappeared without a trace ...

The Trent system and this includes the main river and most of its tributaries since 2011 have received nigh on 400,000 fingerling barbel at one time or another and remember Calverton is nearby, so any excess fish can be easily disposed of and put into the river, previous similar stockings on...

Well said Steve....says it all!

The thing is Joe, its irrelevant what i believe to be honest, i stick to the facts, and the fact is otters have made significant negative impacts on all the barbel populations on the rivers they share with barbel, I can't take every problem on, but what I do know is that even if we did have the...

So? They still say the same today...

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2011/aug/18/otters-return-british-rivers According to the EA and the Guardian the reason for the otters return to our rivers on a national scale, is because the rivers are so clean, the cleanest in 20 years...

My suggestion that you have to disengage with some individuals Terry, they are just antagonistic, you say black they say white, they dont know how to discuss, one protagonist even suggested that the only reason I was against otters is because of my own selfish needs as I am only interested in...
