I'm sure that you are right Dave and I look forward to your findings on some of your local waters. My concern is that when the F&M outbreak is finally over, we might (we will!) see annual rent rises for fishing. This whole affair has longer term implications for fishing generally. I don't think I'd like to be in the fishing tackle trade at the moment - some of the smaller concerns must be experiencing a crippling downturn in trade right now and with no immediate end in sight, the prospects must be pretty gloomy. On a more selfish note, I probably won't be able to use my licence and night fishing permit this 16th June and sometime after by the way things are going! I was quite fortunate to land a couple of nice barbel in the floods in February and this will keep me enthuastic for the future.
