Hi all, for those that might not recieve the Wild Trout Trust's annual mag, I've attached a pdf version of my article from early in the year on the changes in attitude to fly fishing, conservation and river restoration on the River Test. Cheers, Mike
Fantastic insights into the challenges faced in balancing competing drivers. We are lucky in the club to have a Mike as River Manager and these principles drive the regular working parties and habitat projects on the club beats. Beat A was recently "tackled" by club volunteers led by Mike and Ed, the result was 3 significant in-flow structures to change the flow patterns and provide improved wild fish habitat and to support the Ranunculus come-back
Good article; stuff I just didn’t know. Thanks
