Posted By garyh There are some muppets in local councils who way over react. Have they ever been to the Lake District or to Scottish Lochs?? Angling is a leisure activity done by choice be people who are responsible for their own safety. Things like this brings accusations of safety nazis against us.......heigh ho. I speak as a weary committee member of an angling club. Soap box bit over. Try these links http://www.energynetwork...anning%20Authorities.pdf http://www.wstaa.org/safety-policy.asp Basically I would look at the obvious things like water safety but also consider things like blue green algae, flying hooks, rats, litter, discarded fishing gear and so on. Watch out for overhead power cables too. Good luck!
