        after reading the angling times bit about british waterways admitting banning keepnets at drayton is the best thing they have done for fish safety, Firstly if it wasnt for the match men DRAYTON would be unheard of secondly those fish were stocked into drayton for match anglers to catch, BW wernt moaning back in the drayton days wen the res was booked solid everyday of the week,50 pegs @£500 is £250 aday 7days a week =£1750 oh yes keepnets r allowed ,If bw are this concerned about there fish why can we still use our keepnets at boddington and clattercote,half the problem is the baliff at drayton doesnt like matchmen fine weve had our days on drayton, BRITISH WATERWAYS listen to the people ,the anglers, why dont BW take the large carp from drayton and put them into nearby naseby which is larger and more suited to the specimen angler ,it also holds catfish naseby doesnt atract the match boys because of the levels on the dam wall were as drayton has everything there as does bodd and clattercote surely if BW want the top bagging waters in the country they shouldnt turn on us ,i am interested to see your opinions on this matter !!!

          Read Keith Arthurs article in the Angling Times, bloody brilliant and so true. They have banned match fishing at Blythe now apart from their own British Waterways match.

              i had heard a rumour that they had stopped all open matches on the water because the pleasure anglers were moaning that they were blocking the whole of a lake to fish. Club matches are apparently still allowed

                  Its not stricktly true that they have banned matches at Blythe,
                  They wanted the match organiser to book the whole lake, so say 4 instance there is 35 pegs on Bridge pool and only 10ish ppl turn up, said organiser is well out off pocket???~naughty ~naughty ~naughty I think that is more the case but im not 100pc certain.
