Peter Hayes – Author and expert trout angler
It was the close commitment of Fish Legal that got the Wiltshire Fishery Association our wins against over-abstraction from the Wylye recently. Never mind the abstractors and polluters themselves, the supposedly regulatory authorities (EA,NE,DEFRA) simply do not listen to the voice of the angler ‘crying in the wilderness’ unless effective legal threats and lobbying can be mounted, with powerful evidence, against their destructive actions and omissions. That is why I have been, and remain, a firm supporter of the Angling Trust and Fish Legal and I am delighted to be an ambassador.
