Looks like much of the same for the next couple of weeks so prospects are not good at present in all honesty.
No reports from yesterday.

12lb hen fish from Glanwye for Mike Howell.
Report of two fish last Friday from the Cut at Letton 18 and 14 estimated. Caught on a bright green flying C by Dominic Mannion.



I know this is the other side of the world but it does no harm to help fellow anglers wherever they are does it.
 Only takes a minute.of your time so why not.!

This is a cry for help from my pals in NZ.... to reject a commercial application to allow them to regularly allow them to discharge seriously horrible meat factory effluent into one of the loveliest rivers in NZ the Waimakariri... I just signed the petition "Environment Canterbury (e-can) New Zealand: Reject consent-to-discharge application CRC143740 from Silver Fern Farms" on Change.org.

It's hugely important to stop this so, as a fellow angler, will you please sign it too?

The Voluntary Bailiff Service (VBS) currently remains an operational pilot project in South East England. During Phase 1, Volunteer Bailiffs contribute heavily to the intelligence-led enforcement system, acting as 'eyes and ears', patrolling with fellow Volunteer Bailiffs and on occasions with Environment Agency Fisheries Enforcement Officers and the police. Although the VBS is currently closed for recruiting for 2014, vacancies exist within the South Downs (Sussex) area.

What have the Angling Trust & Fish Legal Ever Done for Angling?!

When you are already a member and understand how important it is to be part of the Angling Trust & Fish Legal's fight for fish and fishing it's sometimes hard to explain to fishing friends and colleagues exactly why they should be a member too. To help with this we've updated our list of reasons and achievements for you to download and print or email to your fishing contacts to help explain why they should join today.

Win Prizes in the Cumbria Freshwater Invasive Non-Native Species Quiz

We love spending time on the water so protecting it is something we all need to take responsibility for because freshwater invasive non-native species (INNS) are able to ‘hitchhike’ on angling equipment, footwear and clothing. When we move to a new water body, a species or disease may be transferred and become established, often having devastating effects. Biosecurity measures are simple and inexpensive - are you up to scratch on your biosecurity knowledge? Take the Cumbria Freshwater Invasive Non-Native Species quiz to find out more and win great prizes!

Beware Rod-Licence Rip-Offs

Please be careful when using Google to search for links to buy your rod licence. We just came across a new website advert which is trying to pass itself off as the Environment Agency by changing the spelling of its website name to be similar to that of the EA's. These sites keep appearing in different guises and we lodge complaints as soon as we find them. The only sites you need to use for direct links to buy a rod licence are www.gov.uk/buy-a-uk-fishing-rod-licence and www.postoffice.co.uk/rod-fishing-licence or you can access the correct link through our own www.fishinginfo.co.uk website

Cropston Reservoir Judicial Review - Permission Granted

In order to take Judicial Review proceedings it is necessary to obtain the Court's permission first, this is to prevent unworthy cases going forwards and causing public expense. Our member's Judicial Review against the Environment Agency has now been granted permission to proceed to full trial on all grounds of challenge. If successful we hope to secure better pollution control by the Environment Agency when dealing with nutrient enrichment, in particular when caused by the discharge into water bodies of substances (such as phosphates)  that are likely to cause eutrophication.
