Hero or Villain?
The series continues
This was certainly our most lively debate to date though,
thanks to an unexpectedly dodgy internet connection, I was unable to
participate in the first half. However, kudos to my co-conspirator Charles
Jardine who rescued the entire hour with a magnificently adjudicated
extended Q&A.
I think the summary of the discussion, if you exclude the
extreme outliers on either side of the debate, is that we regard stocking
as a necessary component of managed rivers. However, you can judge the mood
for yourself by watching on You Tube or listen to the podcast.
Next up is Hero or Villain? The north/south divide.
In inviting comparisons between the relative merits of each are we doing
our sport a disservice? Is there an angling red wall? Are we
culturally different breeds? Is it all about cost? What can we teach each
other? Where do/did the famous anglers live? Or is there really no
difference?
As ever we will be live at 11am on the last Friday in the
month, February 26th. And joining us this time on the panel
from ‘the north’ will be accomplished fishing guides Marina Gibson and
Phillippa Hake. If you have registered previously you will automatically
receive a Zoom link 24 hours prior. Otherwise, register here to take part.
PS In post-debate correspondence Paul Kenyon from Devon sent
me this interesting video he made that usefully illustrates the
inverted pyramid of brown trout sizes in an all-wild river.
