I have been a fisherman all my life and since 2004 but with the influx they have destroyed much of my fishing by their ways and customs they have brought with them. My favourite section of the Thames around Henley,it's very picturesque and superb fishing, has been withdrawn from us fisherman by the private land owner. The land owner had given our club rights for decades to fish his land as long as we respected it.If you know anything about private fishing clubs you will understand that rules are always upheld to the hilt so it's very rare for non compliance! These people and their customs, camp out on this land as families,a bit like pikies,have barbecues burning the ground,leave their litter,tins etc and the land owner had had enough and decided to ban all fishing,picnics barbecues etc.  I'm gutted about this.  Why can't people just fit in with us obey our laws instead of ruining our way of life. Another section downstream i walked along last summer one weekend. There were 3 tents all fishing with families and yet not one of them had rang the land owner for permission,he takes a small fee for the fishing. It's all done on trust and of course i and others appreciate whats there and abide by the rules. When in Rome do as the Romans do springs to mind yet our liberal left leaning politicians are more interested in other peoples rights instead of it's own citizens.  Mind you it's all part of the plan for big business to have a never ending supply of cheap foreign workers. |
It's good that you have so little to worry about, that you're worrying about hobby fishing and how eastern european immigrants affect this. As for these issues - I'm saying about my country, but I presume that in the nearest eastern european countries it should be similar - land near rivers, unless fenced off [illegally] is open to everyone, usually it's wilderness, so nobody cares about it, and one of soviet legacy things is leaving rubbish. As for paying some private person some fee - yeah, when fishing in private lakes - river itself doesn't belong to anyone, so one should buy fishing permit at local petrol station for fishing in all local lakes and rivers, otherwise inspector could fine you, and that's about it.
