Yesterday I took a walk round a local country park when I reached one of the lakes where fishing allowed I was met by the biggest pile of rubbish I have seen on a fishing lake. There were at least 20 beer cans spread across the two swims, plus food and take away wrappers.
Before anyone says it might not be angler’s waste there were also bait bags, wrapping from tackle and baited rigs hanging from trees. I spoke to one of the rangers about it and for once I agreed with what he said when he spoke about banning fishing.
They are also having trouble with anglers fishing the no fishing conservation lakes and are cutting down bushes to block anglers from sneaking onto these lakes at night.
There is a no night fishing allowed on any of the fishing lakes but the carp anglers take no notice of that.
If fishing here is banned we only have ourselves to blame.
