Cant disagree with that Graham, let hope (always hope :)) that they do increase the patrols and its an isolated incident. The irony is that the EA have approved, in fact welcomed the proposed massive industrial hydropower plant that will take out a section of Teddington weir. Oh they do get a...
Good point Graham but I know the fisheries guys and some of the enforcement and they do take it very seriously. Problem though is so little resources for a river like the Thames where below Staines its all free fishing.
Thing highlighted here is that the rivers are quiet, not much being...

One of the first rivers I fished as a kid, fond memories of Croxley, this is very bad news.
If anyones spots fish in distress tell the EA asap, think they are going to have a busy summer unless it rains.

Need to also think about all the tackle shops who serve the local venues, if the fisheries go all together, it will be very bad news.
