Re: EA Closed Season Consultation

rivernovice.................what's the difference between a shoal of spawning fish in a river to that of a shoal of the same species in a pool??
What's good for one has got to be good for the other. And there has been no decline in fish population in stillwaters, except those that are rife with cormorants

Whats your favourite?

Lets have a bit of fun.
As a new member of the BAA I've only managed to fish a couple of venues so far this year, Although many years ago I fished a few of their river and canals venues through club matches.
So, for all those members who get out and about a lot I'm going to ask you one question..........

If you could only fish ONE venue for the rest of your life which one would it be, and why?

Good luck

Re: EA Closed Season Consultation

I've filled out the form and voted to abolish it. Its an outdated law with no real foundation. Fish spawning times on rivers especially are governed by a lot of things, not just temperature but also actual river conditions, floods etc. These things are way beyond our control with a 3 month ban. Some fish will spawn twice in a season anyway.....I've seen it. The argument about giving the bankside time to grow back is also a farce when you consider that probably 80% of our river systems are unfishable due to being overgrown anyway. The major dangers to fish population do not come from angling pressure anyway, but from natural predators like cormorants, otters, mink, goosanders etc. And that's not to mention illegal fishing for food by migrants. There has been no decline in fish population on stillwaters and canals since the close season was abolished. Simple fact is, more anglers on the bank would help to reduce the proper risks to fish
