Let's face it we will never have pristine rivers and waterways in a vacuum. Whilst we continue to fly tip, pollute our oceans, chop down rain forest, spray chicken shit and slurry on our fields, clear woodland and generally create global warning, a beautiful river Wye is the stuff of dreams. We are a filthy, insensitive and uncaring species for other inhabitants of this planet including ourselves. We even dump " rubbish" in space. Until that changes we are largely wasting our time. To throw angling into the pot as a sport we should not pursue misses the bigger picture by a million miles. Furthermore what we might do here will most definitely not be replicated in other parts of the world so our attempts will achieve merely a Pyrrhic victory benefitting the few at the expense of the many. Man is not an island even though the UK is.
