Litter is my ultimate pet hate, it is not needed - does it hurt to take litter home?! Anglers not treating fish correctly leading to damaged mouths etc; anglers fishing in the next peg when they have 2,642 yards of river to fish and trotting a stickfloat at your feet. Similarly I have been the victim of carp anglers casting 40 yards from the opposite side of the lake to within 8 feet of my swim - casting over ££££s worth of bait I had put down.
Also anglers who do not pay for the privelege or right to finish. Many times I have been on the river two chaps turn up neither with a license but fish anyway with a total lack of respect for the club or anglers in the club. Then again I also dislike the obnoxious angler, a fortnight ago I was fishing on a small commercial fishery tucked away at the bottom end when an angler turns up puts the radio on for the Grand Prix has it on full blast so it feels like I have Lewis Hamilton next to me; the chap then shouts across the lake 'any good mate, you had anything what are you using, what's the best method on here' when packing up he throws his left over bait into the bushes so now the damn rat population is increasing.... I could go on..
