Anyway malc whats wrong with the place
It's exectly the same when you fished it last (couple years ago)
Thats the problem Ryan it is
STILL exactley the same and the
NEGATIVE points i highlighted in the Blog are the same now as i said back then.
I can handle the weed as i've fished in weedier waters than that, but so many pegs in such a short section (when there is 8+ miles to fish) is always going to have an adverse effect on fishing.
As for the Power Lines as well as being dangerous to have pegs near them it is shear Lunacy to actually have pegs UNDER them.
The following is a copy and paste from the 2009 Welsh Regions EA Byelaws:
LOOK OUT! - LOOK UP!
ADVICE ON SAFE FISHING NEAR OVERHEAD ELECTRIC POWER LINES
Several people have died and others have been seriously injured whilst using fishing rods and poles near overhead electric power lines. The following advice is designed to prevent these events recurring:
i Because rods and poles conduct electricity, they are particularly dangerous when used near overhead electric power lines. Remember that electricity can jump gaps and a rod does not even have to touch an electric line to cause a lethal current to flow.
ii Many overhead electric power lines are supported by wood poles which can be and are mistaken for telegraph poles. These overhead lines may carry electricity up to 132,000 volts, and have been involved in many of the accidents that have occurred.
iii The height of high voltage overhead electric power lines can be as low as 5.2 metres and they are therefore within easy reach of a rod or pole. Remember that overhead lines may not be readily visible from the ground. They may be concealed by hedges or by a dark background. Make sure you ‘Look Out’ and ‘Look Up’ to check for overhead lines before you tackle up and begin fishing.
iv In general, the minimum safe fishing distance from an overhead electric power line is 30 metres from the overhead line (measured along the ground).
v When pegging out for matches or competitions, organisers and competitors should, in general, ensure that no peg is nearer to an overhead electric power line than 30 metres (measured along the ground).
vi For further advice on safe fishing at specific locations, contact your local Electricity Company.
vii Finally, remember that it is dangerous for any object to get too close to overhead electric power lines, particularly if the object is an electrical conductor, e.g. lead cored fishing line, damp fishing line, rod or pole.
