Jesus didnt realise it was that bad .
Cant stand the furry things myself , makes you thing twice about leaving cooking stuff etc outside your bivvy on a night
Fished a few rat holes in the past and when you see them running around your pod etc this thread really brings things into perspective , have they pissed on it
I suppose there everywhere and i agree the best way forward is to eliminate as many as possible and better managed fisheries do , some of the ones ive been to in the past though . . . breed em
Nice to hear you made a fully recovery mate as i always remember years ago my dad telling me of a lad on a water near me that did not. Good luck mate

remember years ago my dad telling me of a lad on a water near me that did not.
A young farm hand who drinks in the same pub as me caught it about a year before me and he didn't make it either, poor lad. I think most peeps who are associated with the water industry - sweage workers, fish farmers etc - are fully aware of the risks and take precautions yet we anglers, who are just as much at risk do not.
In Victorian times when rat catchers were employed the disease was called Rat Catcher's Yellow.
It's bad news chaps so take heed or it could be you looking like death warmed up

A mate of mine took his family to the Norfolk Broads on a boating/fishing holiday and ended up nearly loosing his then very young daughter.
She got the dreaded and spent ages in hospital and had to have a blood transfusion and her urine went black ,it was touch and go for a while but thank god she pulled through,she was lucky you might not be so take the hygene part of it very seriously when on the banks.

I typed out something yesterday but it wouldn't post so here goes again..........
For all you guys that like a social, and especially those visiting commercials in france.
When you are enjoying yourself on the bankside, having the odd beer etc, remember every time you reach for that bottle thats been in the crate outside your bivvy all night. Whilst you've been in the land of nod, Mr Roland may well have been climbing over your beer bottles and leaving his urine all over them without your knowledge....... and you've just stuck it straight in your mouth
It has happened before to two guys from the Romford area at a well known complex, one of which is sadly no longer with us
