Some of you folks may be intrested in checking out this web site
Mid Nithsdale Angling Assoc(search), It's on the River Nith in the South west of Scotland. I was looking up some info for my trip there in Sept. When living in Nithdale I took the fishing for granted, As some of us now do in B.C. If you take a look at what it costs (150.00)to fish for a couple of days on a mile or two of river and check out the recorded returns of fish kept.Paying what we do here in B.C. is a small sum to pay.what will be prohibative is the loss of this resource due to overfishing(both sport and commercial),loss of viable habitat,and agri/mining/forestry polution . those are all factors in the state of european waters. because all intrested factions are divided an not able or willing to speak with a united voice.The term divide and conquor comes to mind.any thoughts ?(apart from my poor writing skills)
