NI meeting on conservation

#1 Post by BigPhil »

For anglers in Northern Ireland...
In the process of planning a meeting to gather views, opinions, experiences and all other relevant information on the seemingly increasing problem of killing of what we consider to be undersize fish., These and other issues will be discussed and some sort of an action plan drawn up from these.

The meeting will likely be held in a central location to most anglers of our coast, Mainly Co Down, Antrim and Londonderry. Possibly Ballymena
Probably a week night evening.

Open to ALL anglers and those associatted with the sport, tackle dealers etc as well.

There appear to be many bodies representing anglers, but if we can pull them all under one roof it can surely work better.

Who on here is genuienely interested in attending?

There are always complaints about it online, on fishing marks etc, so lets at least make the effort to do something about it, STANDING TOGETHER!
