Hi all

 

Don't get the chance to post or have a good look at this forum very much but thought I should take the time out to let any of those who are interested. Had a long walk along the Wandle on Saturday and I am very pleased to say that the fish populations seem to be improving very well. I witnessed alot of roach and chub about 4oz - 1lb and one monster of a roach which I personally estimate at about 3lb. The numbers of fish were also quite impressive. Had a chat to one guy there who told me that the fish numbers have recovered quite well after the terrible pollution incident, but as yet he had not seen any barbel yet.

 

Apologies If anyone has already posted about this.

Glad to hear that there are still fish in the Wandle. What stretch did you walk along? Can't see how the fish numbers could have recovered though. Thousands died and haven't been replaced as far as I know.

There was a programe by the accidental angler guy on the tv this weekend fishing the wandle for trout. He was catching chubb and another chubb on the fly. Near the end he did manage to catch one. Couldn't tell you when it was filmed though.

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..

Some time ago now.The most recent pollution incident happened only two months or so back.As the discharge was from the plant at Beddington Lane it is the river downstream of there which was killed.

And thats my "non indicative opinion"!

Quite a few chublets by the bridge at the Garden centre with roach around the back of the mill. I think that due to the nature of the river around there, the way it splits off into smaller back water and such, I am wondering if some of the smaller back waters managed to escape the worst affects of the pollution that came down the main river.
