Following calls from Keith Arthur and Matt Hayes for changes to current byelaws that allow anglers to remove rod caught fish, Angling Times will launch a petition at Go Fishing 2006 at Birmingham’s NEC Arena.

Angling Times and FishingMagic.com have teamed up to bring you this petition online. If you agree to the proposal for new laws that protect our fish, laws that will conserve fish stocks for future generations, then please pledge your support by entering your details in the form below.

The petition aims to make those drafting the new fisheries act aware that anglers in England and Wales want their fish protected by law so that stocks can no longer be plundered for food or any other reason.
