hi guys,

 

ive just been reading an article about the new byelaws that are comming into force from the 1st of jue is year.

 

it says that the following can be removed from uk rivers

 

* Up to 15 small fish (up to 20cm) of barbel, chub, common bream, common carp, crucian carp, dace, perch, pike, roach, rudd, silver bream, smelt or tench

* Up to two grayling of 30-38cm

* A single pike of up to 65cm

 

no i can understand removing grayling as they are good to eat and so that goes for the pike, but i just cant understand why you would want to remove the other species

 

anyone explain to me why

Pike used to be a regular on British tables so did the others. Only in the last year have I noticed several anglers taking the other species, when I asked why I was told they are great to eat grilled or fried and they make great fishcakes and pies.

For use as baits for predator fishing - although are silver bream really on that list? :headhurt:

All coarse fish as far as I'm aware!

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!

Excellent! So I'm still allowed to eat/kill/use as bait one of our rarest coarse fish.

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music

You see Steve, what you've done there is made the mistake of adding them all up at the same time...!

 

Buy one now for your fishing over the next couple of months, then another when you get the urge to fish that very specific little stretch of river and no-where else will do, then another in September ready for when that other river will start to mellow into autumn and you know it'll start to fish, and then another in deepest winter when you get stricken with the dreaded chub fever, and need pastures new biggrin.gif

 

You won't notice it then rolleyes.gif

 

PS you around this weekend for Farmoor seal clubbing? Or little stream brownie sneakery?

Seal clubbing? And I thought you were such a gentle green conservationist type of person.

Interesting to note that in the name of conservation, the Environment Agency has included smelt as a fish that can be taken for bait...........just a UK BAP species that's all :wallbash:

It does make you feel how much reel thinking went in to the whole process :(
