Tallyho 181 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 no i think its mainly down south you catch them, it wont be long and it will start up again , hopefully the money will be better this time round, yeah you do need a licence, and then you have to pay for your tump now which has saved a lot of trouble , before when it was a free for all thats when you had the trouble with threats of being knifed or being thrown in cause you were fishing a tump that some one had fished the night before, but its not somthing you can just turn up at and think you can dip your net in the river and you will catch, you got to know the way things work, them tieds can be dangerous even caught some of the old pros out befor now.
