‘We
Need a Reality Check on Dredging’
Says New National Report
Widespread
dredging could make flooding in some communities worse in future - not better -
according to a new
report published by The Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental
Management (CIWEM) and endorsed by the Blueprint for Water coalition of
environmental NGOs which includes the Angling Trust.
Far
from advocating dredging the report suggests that solely relying on dredging can
make some downstream communities more vulnerable to flooding by moving water
more quickly down the river catchments.

Government
Gives Go Ahead for New Cormorant Plan
Our
three year campaign for a change to the licensing regime governing the control
of cormorants and goosanders has concluded. Full details HERE. We
are very grateful to everybody who supported us with donations and by sending
postcards to their MP. The success we've achieved would not have been possible
without this support. New measures include funding of three Fisheries Management
Advisors to be employed by the Angling Trust to reduce predation. Details of
these jobs and how to apply can be found at www.anglingtrust.net/jobs |

"Seeing
the Light"
Light Rock Fishing by David Mitchell
Light
Rock Fishing or LRF is catching on as a great way to target the smaller but no
less fun species of sea fish around our shores. It also opens up a world of
easily accessible fishing with the minimum of tackle needed. Did we mention it's
also great fun! Our article by Angling Trust Marine Campaigns Manager David
Mitchell about how to get started, is a great source of info for anyone starting
LRF or junior anglers. Please forward
this email to a friend so they can find out more and encourage them to join
the Angling Trust - thanks. |

Claimed
Public Rights of Navigation (PRN)
Over Angling Club Waters
Many
angling clubs and riparian owners receive assertions from would-be navigators
(usually canoeists) of a general right to navigate over non-tidal waters in
England and Wales. These alleged rights are often referred to as Public
Rights of Navigation (PRN). Sometimes these assertions include the service of a
so-called 'common law notice' by Mr Andrew (Andy) Biddulph which claims to
oblige the recipient of the notice to state why PRN have been extinguished.
Although
there is no legal or other obligation to respond to these notices, it may be
desirable to do so - if only to stop Mr Biddulph proclaiming some victory which
he claims to have achieved because his (meaningless) notice is ignored.

Check
Your Flies...
Have
you noticed a decline in fly life on your fishery? Do you need some expert help
to find out what is wrong?
Dr.
Nick Everall, fisheries consultant and founder of Aquascience Consultancy, has
developed cutting-edge biometric fingerprinting techniques which can be used by
fishery owners and clubs to identify ongoing and/or previously undetected
ecological problems - which the Environment Agency or NRW may be unable or
unwilling to investigate. Alternatively, the techniques can also be used to
record a 'snapshot' of the health of your river or stillwater to provide
valuable evidence in case a pollution occurs in the future.
|
 |
Be
Prepared...
Administration
can be a chore but it is vital that clubs, riparians and fishery owners keep
up-to-date records in case the unthinkable happens: devastating
pollution wiping out your fishery. Unfortunately, in Fish Legal's long
experience of running such cases this can happen to anyone, and does happen all
too frequently.
Fish
Legal has a factsheet which includes a checklist of the routine information its
members should be collecting to make sure they can show how their fishing has
been affected by an incident.
