The body could publish its accounts at the end of the year, show how the money was spent.
:lol: if this was the case I will buy one :lol:
If the fee just disappears into a government black hole, with no transparent accounting for how it's spent, then most anglers, including myself, will have very little confidence in it.
:evil: if this is a case I will become a poacher :evil:
