****************************************** MAINTENANCE WORK ON YARM AND ATDAC FISHERIES Farmers
and gamekeepers have reported continuing problems with suspected poaching as well as theft of
farm property.
Whilst
we as fishermen enjoy the right to roam the river bank and cast a line, the
sight of somebody wandering around without fishing tackle isn’t allowed (our
rights are to fish) and can sometimes set alarm bells ringing.
The
legality is that maintenance work including the trimming of trees and clearance
of access paths should be agreed with the farmer or landowner prior to any work
being carried out. There are also potential implications regarding insurance
cover for members acting independently on unapproved maintenance.
Occasionally
there have been reports of members on the river bank who don’t have fishing
tackle but they were believed to be in fact carrying-out well intentioned
maintenance work.
We do not want to discourage
this, far from it, all help is much appreciated. However, this needs to be done
properly and the right people informed beforehand of your expected presence and
activities.
Dick
Sidgwick Tel 07870680953 and Paul Richmond Tel 07815818030 plan and carry out
regular work on the stillwaters and river stretches respectively, liaising with the farmers or landowners to
ensure that we do not cause them any problems.
To
preserve good relations we request anybody planning or wishing to help work on
the river bank to please speak to Dick or Paul beforehand.
All offers of help will be
welcomed.
