This is the same organisation that carried on fishing at Walthamstow a good few years back when fish were dying, fish bellied up were literally floating past anglers with rods in the water.

Between the organisers, anglers and venue owner, you would like to think someone would show some sense and cancel the even but people involved in competitive angling are not known for their moral compass!

Also what is all this foolishness with just closing down the area fish are spawning in? Seems like a token gesture to show the fish are cared about but obviously money is more of a priority than the fish.

Great info, thanks 🙌🏼

I used the original Scopes in 9ft but did not get on with them and went back to using Hi S in 12 foot. I got offered some mk2 10ft Scopes for cheap so bought them and never looked back. The Free Spirits got sold and I have religiously used the Scopes since. Must be 5 years and probably 200 nights fishing later! They look tired now and need to be either revarnished or replaced but I feel like I have had value for money from them!

I bought a cheap puncture less wheel from eBay, it come with a selection of bushes and spacers. It was fine for day fishing but when the barrow was loaded for a 3 dayer it was hard work pushing through the mud!

They should really do a years subscription with a one off payment of £50-60 per 12 months. That would work well for me!
