I am copying this from another site:
" . . . . it was upstream of Ringwood around the Fordingbridge area) and happened just before the season started and may well not have been accidental.
Much discussion has been had between the EA and committee members of the clubs affected, principally RDAA. They have been very tight lipped about the cause and any action to be taken."
I think there is a lot left to be said, and understood on this topic . . . . . as such a release of such a number can only have a detrimental effect on the local fishing.
Remember, this is an iconic fishing area with some great angling history connected to it.
PS: I also just read that the EA are advising all anglers, not to return any of the trout that are caught . . . . .
PPS: thanks to Neil for the heads-up
