So why go further and put a fear of release elsewhere into the equation, making fishing for crayfish such a grind to get organised? I've seen people comment about egg release etc but the matter is, when you catch them, they go into a pot/tub/box whatever and you've got an instant enclosed environment.
It's like having a speed limit but then later insisting that all cars are then fitted with speed limiters! |
Aye.
BUT... you can't fish for Crayfish unless you have a Crayfish license. In the North of England you can't get a crayfish license meaning you can't catch them meaning that if you do catch them you put them back meaning that the law is a complete ass. If you take them away at all - in a pot/tub/box, whatever, you are breaking the law. Crass, but true.
