MORE than half of anglers want the Government to carry out more research into whether the Close Season on rivers should remain, according to the first poll carried out by AnglersSay.com.
Of the 1,292 anglers who took part in the website’s first poll, a total of 786 – 60.8 per cent of those who voted – said they consider more research is needed to see if the current Close Season is valid. However, 481 respondents – equivalent to 37.2 per cent – said that no further research was needed whilst 25 (1.9 per cenmt) had no view on the subject.
Bob Clark of Anglers Say commented: “I’d like to thank all who took the trouble to cast their vote and had their say on the 1st Anglers Say Poll. I’m delighted to say that the report has been sent to the National Angling Alliance who in turn will distribute it to their members that include the Angling Trades Association, the National Association of Fisheries and Angling Consultatives, the National Federation of Anglers, the National Federation of Sea Anglers, the Salmon & Trout Association and the Specialist Anglers’
