Oh for heavens sake badger we don't need your help there we manage that quiet well without you.
Any one would think that you were a cabinet minister with you trying to get kudos from creating a disaster.

A swift call to the EA to report it however there were even more the following day so I suppose resources are tight and no action was taken?
It boils my boilable stuff!
Not sure where you are and which river it is on but it is salmon fishing season so it could be folks spinning for salmon, although as you said it wouldn't be advisable due to the lockdown restrictions.........far more likely to be Eastern Europeans spinning for pike for the pot, it's quite a problem round my way with Poles fishing without a licence on a lot of pools with carp in them and knocking everything they catch on the head and taking them home!.Some fisheries spent hundreds of thousands of pounds stocking with decent carp etc and anglers quite often pay a couple of hundred quid a year on season tickets and these sods nick them for the pot!
I'm in Suffolk. EEs after food. Yep it's fairly common around here too.

All this "oomanity" and "oomans" business should carry the same penalty as calling bullets "heads"!!!!.
You do realise you're not really a Badger???.......

To be fair my great grandmother was originally from St Petersburg and I have extended family in Russia* so schastlivyye dni Tovarisch
You may well be a Badger for all i know, take no notice of me I'm just a grumpy sod today so apologies
*so far attempts to trace them has largely drawn a blank as many of the records for the St Petersburg area were apparently lost or destroyed during the Siege of Leningrad although my cousin has been able to trace a distant cousin living in Nizhny Novgorod as he did one of those DNA ancestry tests that linked them together.It was my cousin that discovered our great grandmother was Russian when he did his fathers family tree, which is obviously the same as my fathers.

Ah, Nizhny Novgorod, didn't the Machine Building Plant there churn out a phenomenal amount of howitzers and tanks in WW2 despite the Luftwaffe blitzing them for 100 days or so ?

Is Crayfish trapping in my garden permissible? Have not seen or heard anything, so I'll carry on.

That's a good Aussie name for them. Unfortunately there are not to many at present or I need to change the bait
