its heart breaking, its where I very first cast out a line and caught a small perch, ive fished the place for over 30 yrs now and took it on to turn it back into what it once was....so much work has been carried out down there, from swim building, clearance of trees, reeds, increased water flow, raised the water levels, blah blah...I wanted to secure the future of the lake so that not only my 5 yr old can enjoy what I have for the past 30 odd yrs but others too...we've took the time to put in walk ways for the local dog walkers, bird watchers alike...
im a bit of a broken man with it now....and I don't think i'll be able to walk away from it.....
am I being forced to break the law by the authorities now?

The PAG
anyone with photos should pass them onto the PAG, report the damage to EA and the Angling trust.(for whats its worth)
