During recent reccies to the Lincolnshire Fens one thing seems to be starkly evident, and that I the absence of other anglers. Areas that were once highly populated by anglers appear to see no angling traffic.
This was a topic of conversation between my angling mate and I on route home after the last couple of outings. Opinions were divided from nowadays anglers no longer wish to fish through the harsh winter periods, to the deterioration of fish stocks. Including the ever present illegal poaching and killing of fish, and poorer water quality etc, speculation is endless.
Does anyone else have a view on this thorny topic?
