Good luck to Clampdown

LET’S hope that Operation Clampdown 5 is effective in targeting illegal fishing during the closed season. Of course, it’s much easier identifying poachers during those 92 days; they’ll be the ones fishing rivers - just like the chap I saw fishing with three rods on the River Thames near Hampton Court on June 15th. Whether he was still there when the EA rocked up is another matter altogether.
