"In recent years anglers have seen the peace and quiet on the waters they fish being

shattered by increasing numbers of canoes, rafts and other craft. Often these boats

are being launched without the landowners permission and without a right of

navigation. They can cause irreparable damage to delicate habitats which support

fish and fish eggs.

 

The British Canoe Union has been running a campaign, with some political support,

for universal access to all watercourses, at all times – a “right to row”. In its first

year of existence, the Angling Trust lobbied Government, MPs and the Environment

Agency to quash these proposals, which seems to have been successful."

 

 

 

Ahh, so THAT's what the AT have been doing for the past year! I did wonder. I'm sorry, but I grew up fishing on rivers for roach and perch. There were always canoes and boats around then, and we just put up with it - as far as I am concerned they have as much right to be on the water as we do next to it.

I never imagined that trying to stop a few canoes from paddling gently up a river was SUCH an important agenda - my how times have changed.

Honestly, it's bloody pathetic!

 

Thanks for posting the link for the Newsletter Murph - I'm not a member of the AT, so I wouldn't ever get to see it otherwise!

I take it the AT don't want to attract the growing army of yakkers, then? :mellow:

DRUNK DRIVERS WRECK LIVES.

 

Don't drink and drive.

No worries. It is linked from their homepage, though, so is open to anyone to view :)

Do the A T recon the canoes, rafts, have outboards on the back of them then. Other craft? is there a shortage of 'o' class fish or just more spiel. In addition the A T are quick to whinge about the press exagerating their stance on the otter issue, yet quick to come out with the words describing canoes shattering the peace and quiet, why don't they just give up as i liken them to browns government, every thing they touch comes up brown. :rolleyes:

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..

With you there Barry (bugger, must go and see a doctor), of the two rivers I fish most frequently, one is a common canoeing river with portage points all over the place (excellent grayling river, decent brownies, sea-trout and salmon and decent chub, barbel and pike a few miles downstream of me). I've never had a bad experience with canoeists on that river! The other is allegedly a non-navigable river but still attracts attention from canoeists and occasional rafters. Again, never had any problems.

 

Is it the area I live in? the canoeists? Moi?

 

Perhaps it might be the fact that the area is not heavily populated by anglers and therefore the anglers aren't moaning about other people that want to use rivers!

 

As for the shortage of 0 cohorts, not at all in either of these rivers, bloody stuffed with fry........oh, and those big brown giant mink like things with a white throats that murder for fun ;)

Eating wild caught fish is good for my health, reduces food miles and keeps me fit trying to catch them........it's my choice to do it, not yours to stop me!
