I wouldn't go that far because his lack of a response to a simple yes/no question suggests that he is at least capable of understanding that while he can get away with alluding or implying that something is the case, asserting it to be so is a very different container of aquatic vertebrates - with potential legal consequences.

That was yet another of those votes that ‘didn’t mean anything’ and were ‘just a signature on a piece of paper’ the same as Tony BLiar said about signing the Lisbon Treaty on ‘our’ behalf despite having promised a referendum before he did so. Effectively it means that if, by a two thirds majority the EU Commission decides that a Member State is not complying with ‘The Rule of Law’ i.e. not doing what they say then all funding can be withdrawn immediately. Simply put, the Polish elected, by democratic vote, a person who was not the EU choice, that vote is not ‘acceptable’ to the unelected controllers of the EU so they will spout on about free will, the democratic process etc etc and some idiotic puppet will make a video about it supporting the EU posting same on YouTube and single cell amoeba organisms that have no free thought will click on the video and then post the link up on forums without understanding or bothering to look and form their own opinions.

Yes Andy - including 60 odd year old workhorse reels which can still do a job.

Hi Phone, Thanks for the concern. My right ankle has healed, but unfortunately the weight transferred to my left leg, set off an old motorcycle racing injury to my left knee. Treatment was about to start to fix it, when Covid arrived in the UK and all non virus work was ceased, as all spare hands were needed to keep people alive in the NHS. Just had an online consultation, so things might get moving again. At the moment fishing mobility is limited, using an extendable ali landing net for support. Wading is out. Have been out a couple of times and had a couple of small wild brown trout. This was one of them. At the moment Phone it is all about a trade off between pain and fishing. The pleasure of catching this little guy was worth the mile walk. This was my blog: http://www.urbanfieldsportsman.com/index.php/wild-brown-trout-hard-to-find-after-the-mayfly-hatch/

After Lockdown I made my first visit to the Hampshire river Whitewater this year on a cold day, but a few Mayfly were coming off and landed a 22 inch over wintered stockie. This was the only fish that I saw rising and after several attempts, due to a strong side wind, it took my green Shadow Mayfly. Due to the Covid Lockdown, no fish have been stocked this year, but Farnborough & District AS members have caught plenty of wild browns and the occasional overwintered trout.
