was sent this e mail from a contact in Cumbria, if you are going to fish Port Carlisle or anywhere in fact make sure you take your rubbish home.
There was a letter put in the local Times and Star on Wednesday complaining that a duck was found attached to gear after a match at Port Carlisle at the weekend.
The chap that wrote the letter had managed to get the hook out of the ducks tongue and took it to a rescue centre. He was trying to find out which club had been fishing, hoping to get the club to pay the expenses. None of our local clubs were there last weekend.
He requested that match organisers should make sure all rubbish is removed from the venue after the matches.
This is one of the few venues where lost gear can be retrieved at the end of a match as the tide leaves the banks as quickly as it arrives. There is a already poor relationship between the villagers and anglers over rubbish and dead fish and we should all make the effort to give them nothing to complain about.
