You dont fit Ade, hadn't you noticed? :)

"Rocca is gonna get a bad/badder name"........... I do hope so Graham. x Alglers WILL pull together when there is a threat to angling, at the mo there really isn't, nor do I see one around the corner.

Me too!

Dear Ade, I know, feeling contradictory today. :) ....... And its not March yet.

In Spain they have put and take tench fisheries, well I know of one anyway. 12e per day max 6 tench.

Dear Ade, Thats nonsense. Love Tony.

Ha, well said Dave. It may be worth pointing out that in recent polls (Angling Times and EA) those supporting the close outnumbered those who didnt.

Yup, only 16 ft or so on, easy! ;)

I sat on the corner of that wall in the Nov 2000 floods and fished meat on a cane rod, level was just the same. I had two 11's. Happy days.

Now I'm a bit out of date as its a while since I left the EA but to support what Ray said It used top be the case that the consents for some STW's said that they had to be complient for a certain persentage of the time, say 90%. This meant that when there hadn't been any flood surges kicking in...

Good sum up Jim, I believe the organo-phosphorus compounds in sheep dip are banned now.

Damn right Ade.. :) David, Thats more like it. Ray, true, but they are still cleaner than they were in the 70's.

Seasons greetings to you and the team Andy.

David, Oh the post said much more than that........... "I cannot believe any right minded person would consider the UK rivers more polluted now than the 70s, biggest problem with many is they are too clean, ie not enough nutrients! So,nutrients were just part of it and whilst I...

Ah but David Grib, they used to be stuffed with phosphate,............nitrate, lead, mercury, zinc, selenium, antimony, etc, etc. Our rivers ARE cleaner, overall, than in the 70's.... Fact! You may give yourself silly post of the year.

Richard, Biggest problem here is that you are asking for reasons to keep the close, we dont have to justify it as it is as it is..... (I liked that)............ Whats the justification for doing away with it other than that you could go fishing on rivers more? Just selfish if you...

Richard, You said "give me one reason to continue......" I gave you the simplest one, and your right, you cant scrutinise it". Thats the point! I could, and have, argue about the close for ever but these days I just cant be bothered, folks like you will think as they wish, and...

"who dont want us ordinary Anglers"............ ORDINARY Anglers!!!!!!!!!! What are they then?..... you got some inferiority thing going on Craig? Oh and "everything" has always been a changing.

Scrutinise this then Richard............. it's illegal and no one is going to change that any time soon, therefore we will continue.. Nothing to talk about, not even in March. :)

As I said....... "Its out of season for talking about the close isnt it?" Give me a shout in March.
