Graham,
I'm not asking that in so many words, indeed I'm not asking any deliberately contentious questions, simply trying to put some of the oft quoted lore into perspective.
We are, after all, only having this debate because the one clear fact we have at the moment is that barbel are poorly treated by more anglers than we care to admit.
Indeed it may be out of ignorance but surely that is why we need explore commonly stated scenarios.
Any policy should include clear and concise guidelines while remaining flexible enough to change if a sound enough arguement is put forward.
It's called progress.
Would you sooner have it discussed openly on here or behind closed doors?
So far, whatever anyone has suggested, there has always been a counter argument but let's take high banks as an example. two ropes will position a net securely and it will remain horizontal as sure as it will in 18 inches of water over gravel.
Anyone can be negative and shout about the problems but it takes ingenuity to come up with solutions.
