Fishing in the UK

[The Local Ned]

One thing to be remembered is overfishing.

With nets , and sometimes even without them , it is very very easy to overfish an area and totally deplete the fish stocks.

During the recent upsurge of Polish migrant workers hitting the UK , the Poles living locally practically cleared a good section of the local canal of fish.

They used nets and ate everything they got their hands on , no matter what size it was. It killed the area as a local hotspot for coarse fishermen and is only now recovering after 2 1/2 years.
It took a crowd of local youths to confront them ( they also fished , but for leisure only ,and also as an excuse to drink lots of beer ) before they moved on , the police also confiscated their nets.

Using nets is very efficient way to catch fish , but an even more efficient way of destroying existing fish stocks.
