Trolling Rivers in a SOT

[Jeff S]

Found this on the EA website under the do's and dont's.. Well under the don'ts.

 

9. Fish from a moving boat*

 

Fishing is permitted from the back of a boat moored to the towing path bank.

 

I must be moored somewhere in order to fish? Does anchoring count? My head hurts trying to figure out what is acceptable and what is not. Is there an emoticon that pulls out its hair?

 

So one other question. Why are the rules so bl dy vague?

First i've heard of that. Have you got a link? On the broads you are not allowed to troll under power from a motor but you can otherwise.

Hmm, Tried to find it on the EA site again and it looks like it was linked from here:
