grandadowl Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Was on claywheels lane this morning and noticed 3 or 4 cars parked up all along the lane leading down to abbey forgings. on driving past i saw at least 6 anglers fishing in the river.Now i know yorkshire has by laws during the close season allowing fishing with worm only, but i dont believe for one minute that was the only bait they were using.Seems to me that they were blatantly flouting the close season law,not saying i totally disapprove if this really was the case, good on em , its about time somebody started the ball rolling to as to overturn this outdated nonsense that serves very little ( if any ) purpose at all.Interested to hear what you forummers think.

rev43 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 you mean the river don surely You are right it's the River Don on claywheels lane, the River Loxley joins the River Rivelin at Malin Bridge, and as another poster says then meets the Don near the Owlerton dog track, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rev43 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 anyhow, what about the lads fishing close season ? But if they were fishing with worms they wasn't doing anything wrong, further up the river at Oughtibridge near the bridge they fish that stretch as well, personally I cannot see anything wrong as you can still fish ponds lakes etc as normal.
