Terry Commer Jnr while fishing at Old Moreton recently came across some discarded fishing line in No 1 Swim – which is certainly well over the 12lbs breaking strain limit allowed by the club rules. It not only created a risk to wildlife but did manage to get snagged around a Junior Members foot.
Three important points to the person who caused this incident :
- Please take all your rubbish home. Don’t discard anything that could cause a hazard to others.
- Only use line with a breaking strain of no more than 12lbs – ODAS Rule.
- Get tuition on how to put line onto a fixed reel spool.
Fortunately the line was found before any serious injury was caused.
Bailiffs will now keep a close monitor on oversized line.
