PAC contacts high street giant Argos over lure sales…The PAC has written to high street retailer Argos after members flagged upconcerns over lures included in its catalogue. “Pike fishing is a highly-specialised branch of angling, which carries withit the potential of causing harm both to fish and angler if not carried outcorrectly,” our letter says. “Our fear is that in selling such items to all-comers without any advice oneither fish handling or health and safety, you stand the risk of eitherdamaging pike stocks or even injuring your customers.” The club is willing to work with any retailer in the interests of pikeconservation. “We have worked to preserve the pike and pike fishing for the last 30years,” our letter goes on. “We are widely-acknowleged as both a leading conservation body and anorganisation which promotes health and safety and best practice.” The PAC said anyone seeking further information about fish handling shouldconsult their website at www.pacgb.com. |
