After several months of relative quiet on the Campaign front you could be forgiven for thinking we had given up the fight: not so! We have been working hard in the background to establish a meaningful working relationship with the Environment Agency Wales. Having spent so long knocking the Agency we have now come to the realisation that the target for the Campaign must be the Welsh Assembly Government. We have to persuade them of the necessity to fund the Agency sufficiently for the Agency to employ sufficient bailiffs to protect our fisheries properly. In order to do this we have agreed to work with the Agency to establish a meaningful estimate of the level of illegal fisheries activity in Wales. In order to do this the Agency have agreed to work in partnership with us on the Clwyd and Elwy system in running an experiment, the success of which will be highly dependant upon anglers and the public using the system. (Full details of this scheme are available on the new interactive web site.)
It was our original intention to launch the new interactive Campaign site on the 1st of July this year, and this remains the case, however the Conwy Valley Fisheries Conservation Association is now launching its appeal to the Welsh Assembly Government in an effort to secure the protection of the spawning redds of our salmonoids from the devastating damage caused by canoeists and gorge runners, who are causing untold damage with their unrestricted access to our waters. For this reason we are pre launching the Campaign site as a gesture of our support for this important initiative. We wish them well. (Full details of this initiative can be found on the Campaign web site.)
The new site is interactive and includes a forum for Campaign issues only please, as we have no wish to compete with this or other forums to which the Campaign owes so much of its success.
The new site also has a link for you to report illegal fisheries activity to us and to the Agency. Please call the 0800 80 70 60 number immediately you become aware of illegal activity. The Campaign link can be used anonymously or you may leave your contact details if you wish. We guarantee your confidentiality. Nobody will know who you are!
The new interactive site will develop as you want it to. Send us videos, stills sequences of fly tying techniques, tackle rigs, anything angling related. For the moment you can find on the “FUN STUFF” page:
Videos
Tide tables
Phases of the moon
Weather and more.
If you would like other items please let us know. Your own articles and tips will also be welcome. Oh, and the forum links are there too! If you really are fed up and missing your fishing: feed the fish on the home page, just click over the “pond” to drop bread on the water. (The things we do to get your attention?)
Please go to cpwf.co.uk and have a look around, bookmark the page and visit us regularly. We look forward to your feedback.
Many thanks from us all.
