Birmingham Anglers Association

Any who knows the history of using hemp for fishing. It has been suggested that it was the Polish refugees fleeing the Nazis during the second world war that first used it over here for fishing. So its been around for over seventy years.

Roach and barbel anglers have been using it for years to help catch fish with no evidence what so ever to suggest in harms fish in any way. If people wish to use it uncooked then that is there choice
Thankfully we all entilted to our own opinions, I for one will go on soaking it and cooking it until it splits.

With June 16th not far away now. Good luck to every one for the start of the new season
