As an angler and commercial,seasonal,traditional and whatever the next label the angling lobby will put on us netsman I have fished in the tradition of my forefathers and have used the same methods and gear to catch fish as they have over the last three hundred years yes thats right three hundred years and possibly more.I don't know what catastrophic event took place in the nineties but what ever it was it reduced the stock numbers of all the rivers in the British Isles over night(check your local river statistics on Cefas).Could it have been the invention of RSE or CL? Tamer Netsmen take about I.5% Rods take 2.5 of the RSE where does the other 97% go?
Tamar SAP? Not if they can't produce an annual return that satisfies the Tamar CL from 97%.of the RSE.
