Did you know that most of the commercial fisheries have now introuced a
barbless hook only rule?

And as for these eastern europeans...they are pillaging our waters of very young fish(smaller than sprats and more like white bait), taking them by the dozen. This sort of behavior is having a detrimental efect on the entire stock and overall ecosystem of effected waters.

Furthermore, these 'easterns' are mostly fishing on private waters and canals without liscenses or permits.
Whilst out in the republic of ireland last summer the locals spoke with utter contempt about the 'easterns', accusing them of ruining entire stretches of rivers and lochs, the knock on effect beind reduced fishing tourism from the British, french and dutch.

I wonder if we will start seeing any 'eastern's' names before the bench for fishing without a license?
