So all these do gooders say don't do this don't do that while they are over the pool themselves throwing in bread by the bag load there for again polluting the water making it stagnent while your child is downing a bag of crisps watching them and then throwing the packet on the floor (oh yeah thats my fault). so please i and many anglers make waterways what they are today.

They are camping overnight cutting down trees to make fires, leaving litter, killing wildlife, what else do these people have to do in order for someone to do something about it?
