Disappointingly early evening I discovered that my coolbox had been interfered with while I was at work and my wine stolen! Then later in the evening before I went fishing a group of 4 youths came down to the river and started fishing opposite where I park, one of which had being fishing the day before on his own and it is he I think is the one who stole my wine as I rarely if ever see anyone down on that river certainly never over my side! Anyway as they abandoned the fishing in preference for swimming I got up from my chair to see what all the commotion was and got a load of verbal abuse from them, especially the one in yellow! I hadn't said a word! I reported it to Eifion and fair play he and his wife came over and told them all off for fishing without a licence and for being disrespectful to me! Not a nice experience but I guess it was just my fault really as I have often told many of you that I had never had any problems down on the river in 25 years and that I had often left valuables out while I was off with my camera or fishing! Never again! As a youth myself I would never have been disrespectful to an elder and I don't understand why they chose me? I can only assume that they have no parents and that they have little or no respect for others? Interestingly a Committee Member Mr Wheatley came down to fish while they were fishing off the bridge and under it but he said that they were not breaking any laws??? Sad state of affairs I think!
Oh by the way a number of anglers requested a ladder to be installed above Crewel to avoid the climb! The Committee and the working party have ignored this! Also the hut at Crewel is available for use by anglers but only by those who know the combination lock code apparently? Great way to run a club?
hi Andy sorry to here of abuse you had to put up with on the river at the weekend and the theft.The lads in the photo with the red and yellow were fishing the same pool on sat when i crossed the railway bridge and departed on my arrival at the bridge.Also i think mr wheatly needs to have a long good look at his self as a commity member the lads are not doing any harm is not good enough.Rule 1 if you do not have a permit or a rod licence you do not fish the river towy end of.While am at it people who show disrespect to other anglers should have the balls to say it at the AGM and not on web pages afterwards yours sincerly a dissapointed member sandy newlands
ReplyDeleteHi all i agree with sandy about mr Wheatly. i think it is disgraceful of a committee member to say that they are not breaking any laws i also think he should be kicked off the committee A deeply saddened member Nicktroutie
