We will all forget how to feed ourselves.The law never stopped me Grandad from shooting fowl and keeping unlicenced pigs during ww2.He taught me to set a longline for eels!Good shot with a catapult too.
Any one with a handline :You_Rock_
I have lamped ,longnetted,gillnetted ,snared,shot and generally taken fish,fowl and fur any how possible.There`s too much political correctness these days.You have to have a healthy disrespect for authority.Anyone heard the Gubmintts gonna ban it all soon?Stew said:

Well I've asked them by email what the legal def is. If there's no minimum lenght then you'd just have to tie a twig to your mug. It took them a month to reply last time I asked a question so don't hold your breath,

Unfortunately not legal in France either 
Although you can use a 'balance' to catch crayfish; the American signal and other non-native all year as much as you want but they must be killed on the bank and never transported live. There is a regulation on mesh size. It is also actually legal to fish for the native crayfish for 1 day a year! But since they are pretty rare now after the devastation of disease and competition from the American Signal I would not think if it. At first I thought a 'balance' was a trap (actually a 'piege') but it is more like a crab net. In fact with my fishing licence I can use 6 at once :shock: I have no idea how you run up and down the bank pulling them up to catch the buggers .
Here is a photo:
As it is not a 'fixed engine' as such ( i.e. you attach it to a wooden pole and hang it into the water then lift up after a few minutes to catch them) I wonder if that would be legal in the UK too :?: given it is attached to a pole/ rod :shock:

Perhaps it's me being thick but if you're actually sat fishing (eg not setting night lines etc) It's only the tackle that's actually under the water "The Business end" that matters. So if there's a weight, a hook and a maggot sat on the riverbed waiting for a bite, what does it matter if the other end is attached to a pole, a rod, a stainless mug, someones toe or a hot air balloon for that matter. It's still the same gubbin's sat on the riverbed?? :?: I'm confused!!
