I just looked at the website for Woodlands View in Droitwich...
One of the rules for pleasure anglers is...."to minimise the risk of damage anglers must not photograph fish"....
Is it just me or does that seem to be taking things to the extreme?
After all Match anglers (on the same fishery) are allowed to keep fish in keepnets (not allowed if you are a pleasure angler) and then presumably there is all the hassle of weighing them before they are returned at the end of the match...does this not risk damage to the fish too ?
