Any angler or countryman knows that one sight which is worse than a pit bing is a river bud which is almost dry.
Recreational sea anglers account for perhaps 1% of the total catch that remains.

In doing so, they must reconcile the competing claims of commercial fishermen, local anglers and the tourist industry.
There are miles of town water at various places which are open to local anglers for salmon, and also to holidaymarkers.
