Whilst on a weeks fishing holiday I noticed that some waters had a ban on on cat food, can anyone explain why please?

why do some fisheries ban ground bait ? my best guess would be to stop all sorts of mixtures and cocktails screwing up the water quality and fish diet. i think its rather sinsible to be honest.

I was just puzzled as to why some fisheries were actively encouraging it's use and others had a total ban!

 

I have never come across a groundbait ban, it is common to see it's use regulated to use in a feeder etc around these parts but not a total ban.

Someone told me once is is because cat food has a lot of oily substances, which leave a residue on the water surface if used in quantity.

Fishing seems to be my favorite form of loafing.

 

"Even a bad day of fishing is better than a good day of work."

 

I know the joy of fishes in the river through my own joy, as I go walking along the same river.

 

What do you think if the float does not dip, try again I think.

Some people just like making rules (looks good). Personally i think you only need 1 rule and that is don't read the rules. :thumbs:

There's a lake near me that has a complete ban on groundbait. Things like hemp/tares/etc is okay, but not the powdery stuff....

 

As for the ban on cat food, I think divers have found the bottom of some lakes covered in a thick greasy slime, and reckoned it came from the proteins in the food.
