He sounds like a bit of a jobs worth to be honest. We all leave our rods to go to the next swim, or to go and be able to see more of the water. People just use common sense.
What if you drink a lot of water that day and need to piss a lot. I hope you dont piss within 3 metres of your rods.

My understanding was that the angler in question got very aggressive with the EA officer and what should have been a warning ended up in a fine.
I always reel in if I am leaving my rods, even if it's just the next swim. If you need to take a piss and leave your rods, I'd reel in if that meant walking away from my rods, most wouldn't and I get it, next swim or a few yards should be fine, but I am afraid common sense means nothing to most people you meet on the bank. You see them standing in little huddles, often up to 100 yards away from their rods or more. It's a joke on some waters I fish - seeing people running round the lake to get to a run. Absolute knobs in my book.
