bowten Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 don't forget the canada goose with teryaki sauce !! Now then,are you allowed to eat the Canada geese? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John V Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Now then,are you allowed to eat the Canada geese? Landowners are perfectly entitled to shoot them, they are classified as a pest. Many certainly eat them or give them to friends and family. You are not allowed to sell them. I am not sure what the law says about "hoicking" one out of the cut as it passes but what the eye doesn't s................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSer Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Yes, I appreciate that, but do you think it likely? Quite common for specialist anglers to have two licences, so three must be a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiomariner Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) Quite common for specialist anglers to have two licences, so three must be a possibility. Oh I certainly agree on the possibility. But say no to the probability. I think you would too if you met the young chap I was referring to, incompitent, foul mouthed verbose who threw two full beer cans at my boat. He thought I had caught his line but it turned out that the reel was spinning because he had hooked a fish. When one of the beer cans rolled along my cabin roof it fell at my feet, I picked it up and pretended to open and drink it saying "cheers". He went berserk and run down the tow path after me fortunately , with a bit of excess throttle I just got through the next bridge-hole before he caught up. He was big muscular and in a temper. He left his rods unatended to chase after me, specialist, no I dont think so. I do admit to taunting him with that beer can though (Budwiser, I would never have drunk it!,) He very nearly got to the bridge before me. I learned a valuable lesson. Dont antagonise anglers, just because they sit on their backsides for hours on end does not mean that they cannot abandon their rods and run much faster than my narrow boat. Edited to add:- All the above is a bit off topic. I did not intend to rant on so but GSer 's comment prompted a reply and the whole unhappy experience came flooding back to me I just had to let it out.

Rustykev Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Well, all sorts of replies of fishing and laws..... however, my twopenneth worth as one that used to work for EA and bailiff waters. A rod is a licensable instrument. The licence permits you to fish with 2 rods only. If you want to fish with any more, then you need another licence for every 2 rods, so 6 rods = 3 licences (unless you are fishing for trout and salmon in which case its 1 rod = 1 licence). But... The licence only licenses your instrument (no lewd comments please). It does not permit you to fish on waters unless the waters are "free", ie, there is no riparian owner. The fishing rights belong to the Riparian owner, usually let out to a local Club. That local Club usually limits the number of rods to a practical 4, ie two licenses needed, and in practice, I never saw anyone fish with more than this number. But, there is more...... So you have a licence and are fishing, but you have not bought a day ticket from the local Club for the water you are fishing on. This means that you are commiting an offence under the Theft Act as you are "stealing" a right for which others have had to pay. And now you catch some fish - can you take them for the pot? The legal answer is that yes, certain numbers of certain species at certain times of the year may be taken for the pot. However, the person owning the fishing rights may decide that although the law allows taking of fish, they do not want you to take any of their fish and they are quite within their rights to do this. If you do take fish contrary to their wishes, then again, this is a Theft Act offence - again, you are depriving the Club members of their fish. And yes, most coarse fish can be eaten, they vary in palate from quite delectable (Grayling, Perch) to downright inedible (Chub). Questions from the audience??

Kyloe Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) Are the caught fish allowed to be eaten? Next question if so are they actually ok to eat? Auckland Don Pike are yummy Edited November 23, 2012 by Kyloe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maffi Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) Not much point in fishing then, Inedible and even if they were you are not allowed to. Better plan on other leisure activities whilst enjoying inland boating. Get in touch with my Scots ancestry, Bagpipe practice for absolute beginners? Don However Haggis knoshing bagpipe players are open season all year round. Edited November 24, 2012 by Maffi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John V Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Pike are yummy Must have been a different variety from the one I tried years ago...that was like eating blotting paper filled with pins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustykev Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 No doubt you have all heard the recipe for Chub. Take one fresh chub, gut, but leave head tail and fins on. Season with herbs, salt and pepper, then wrap in a nice shortcrust pastry, taking care to seal in the juices. Bake in a medium oven for 45 minutes. Once removed from the oven, cut open the pastry case, scoop out the cooked chub and throw it in the bin... .....eat the pastry instead!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinca steve Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I was talking to John the lockie at Holme lock today. I pointed to a bloke fishing off the back of his narrowboat in the wind and John said it is allowed to fish off the boat there but not if sat on the bank Tim Rereading this topic I think somebody has got it slightly wrong, John the lockie was correct in stating that you could fish from the boat and not the bank as its states in the water ways rules that angling must not take place from the bank within 30yds I believe of a lock , being on a boat means he was not breaking that rule.
