Doesn’t matter if you voted leave or not it still shouldn’t be allowed you could say those who voted for THIS government in 2019 allowed it to happen rather than blame it on brexit we are “allegedly”a great nation and we should produce our own ways to get rid of it rather than rely on a supply chain that can fail for any number of reasons.

Yes, disruption to the supply chain was widely predicted before Brexit but, had UK stayed in the EU, the pollution of rivers would not have been allowed and nobody wanted the EU telling them what they can and can't do!

It's hard to blame people for voting tory at the last election , there were dark forces at work to make sure Corbyn lost , a once in a lifetime opportunity to be governed by an honest politician , now the opposition is Starmer , i think !

I thought it was Priti Patels latest weapon in her fight against immigrants 😬

It does bring a whole new meaning to the game of poo sticks.

Depends on the eye and if it’s turned in as well I think a mugga and say…. an esp curve are completely different animals

The government wrote the Water Framework Directive pretty much word for word in to British law, they actually tightened the chemical elements which made nearly every single river fail instantly. Only issue is, the EU used to fine Britain heavily for not meeting targets...I cant see the government fining themselves can you? The water company regulators have put in to the next pricing review targets (i'm not sure thats exactly what it's called. its the AMP26 I believe) about pollution and effluent and clearing it up. I have sat in on numerous Anglian Water workshops and meetings about local SWT plants on the Nene and how they are looking to combat not only the incidents of overspill and pollution but the general outflows. Funnily enough, as one industry insider put it to me, the water that comes out a treatment works is more heavily regulated than what comes out your tap!

Likewise. Our own fault too. I saw this addressed on another forum. Due to Brexit we had a supply chain issue of treatment chemicals so the govt were allowing private companies to dump raw sewage into our waterways. The govt just voted to keep it going too.

Exactly that, I've been down the Overthinking road it's not great tbh, A rig that presents itself and resets is all you need for me pop ups are now a ronnie rig, wafters would probably be a combi rig or something but I haven't used many wafters this year, I've got into the gemini tidy booms lately, I just bought a few different ones to mess about with but they do make a nice neat boom section and that's all I worry about now, that it resets, the rest is down to location and bait, Framey gemini do a tidy boom for combi rigs, I haven't really had a play yet but they would be an easy way faff free way to make them just using loops to loop for the soft section 👍

Taking my son perch fishing on Pitsford Monday - obviously been buying more lures oh and rods, reels....., cant wait to give these Westin Crank Baits a try (plugs to us oldies)

For some reason I have never done as well on skimmer deads as I have on roach. Probably the main reason is because I get takes on roach, so regularly use them, whereas don't get takes on skimmers on the occasions I try, so don't often use or even get them. Best deadbaits for me are smelt and roach, then mackeral and herrings.

Unlucky mate - I go for smelt, they seem to be really good bait 👍
