[Golden Phoenix]

With a starter of grilled shoulder of carp, marinated in a good claret wine, supported on a bed of Sorrel, Marjoram, Thyme, Parsley, Rosemary and onions. Ummmmmm! No wonder those Monks got so fat!

Talking of the RSPB, twice infact, even Sir Peter Scott called them Ruddy Ducks.

You think it's bad coarse fishing!! At a local fly-fishing venue I once managed to cast out a perfect imitation of a damsel fly, perfectly covering a rising trout..... then a mallard of around 4lb took my fly!! I can assure you that I promptly found myself in the longest fight i have ever had with a fly rod!!! twenty five minutes of following a bloody duck around, but guess what, in true record beating fashion, the hook pulled! A whole new meaning for the one that got away!!

Poor Duck. Hope it was alright.

Nightwing:

Bismuth is similar to lead, so you can use traditional duck loads, in 4-6 shot.

I went to a wildfowling conference a few years ago and saw some molybdenum shot.

It was a little bit lighter than lead but was about as soft.

A pellet should give up all it's energy, having spread a bit, without going straight through the quary.

The price is horrendous, I believe, if you can find any for sale.

The Dutch apparently buy it before Brits get a look in.

I now costs more to fire at a duck, than the bird is worth when it's dead.

Yet another way of banning something by stealth.

I suppose the anti's will be pressing for a ban on the release of trout into ponds that they would not naturally be in, or at above specific densities. They are proposing a ban on the release of pheasants.

Perhaps, just like live baiting, there won't be enough votes at risk.
