Hi All
As most of you know i live in Stafford & as such my local River is the River Sow (or Sowe as it was in Izaaks day)
I know this is a bit of short notice but i am asking for some help
On Saturday the "friends of riverway" are clearing the river of all the old trolleys & rubbish that is cluttering it at the moment.
If any of you live near Stafford & would like to help (hint hint hint) give me a ring on (0771 2745475) or mail me.
I would also like to borrow a pair of chest waders (size 10 foot n fat git waist ), a boat (not much chance but worth a try) & a grappling hook type set up for dragging the river with.
If any of you have any other stuff you think might be useful then it would be much appreciated.
The area we are clearing is one of the areas where the water vole has managed to make a come back, so you can understand why it needs clearing.
When i rang the chap organising it i introduced myself & told him of my membership of the SACG/SAA & SACN (explaining what they were) he told me i am the only angler that has ever contacted him & more importantly he had no idea we had conservaton groups he does now
Needless to say he was very surprised to find out that anglers have conservation groups.
He was even more surpised when i told him i was going to post this on the internet angling sites to see if i could get anymore help.
So if you do live near me & you fancy helping to clear the same river that Izaak Walton himself fished contact me & we'll sort summat out
