    Everything recorded on the day was legal 😁
    We are allowed to collect up to 20 fish, but not for re sale ! Only allowed to re sell offspring of the fish.

Water were working hard to establish the Val beds ad this would of been really disheartening to them, but the river always comes back eventually, Thanks for the fun day I had with you and all your friends and a big Thanks to Kaity for supplying lunch, looking forward to our next adventure 🙂

It's miles ahead of what I used back when I did aquarium fish harvesting back in 2005-2007. all I had was a Ford aerostar, with some big plastic tubs in the back, and an inverter to run air pumps, and stones. But the guy I worked with had the van custom air brushed, with scenes from shallow Hawaiian reefs. So that was pretty cool

    Hi, it,s Mac from England. I really enjoyed the video, 30 years ago when my childrens were just kids we used to go to a river where there would be 20 or so kids in it useing hand nets to catch minnows and sticklebacks but 10 years ago I took my grandson there and there wasnt any fish < they had been mostly killed off by farmers who put pesticides on their crops but when it rained the poison ran off into the river and killed off the eco system. I have 2 ponds in my garden, 1 with goldfish of various kinds and the other is a wild pond with frogs, tadpoles, toads, and newts. we have dragonflies in the summer months plus allsorts of insects in the pond. I look forward to your next video. all the best, Mac.
