Now I've looked into this, Bow hunting is illegal as we all know, Bow fishing isn't mentioned in this law, so I think its how you interpret it? As it only states "bow hunting", so are hunting and fishing different? I'd say so, but that's my opinion and I've been wrong so many times before, ce la vie.

Not forgetting its still legal to shoot a Scotsman carrying a bow in York excluding Sunday, so I'll leave mine at home if I ever visit York

Almost certain it's outlawed by the Wildlife and countryside act for freshwater.

Nah, it's not that, can't find the legislation but I remember looking into it.

The wording pretty much covers everything even things not covered by specifics, think if someone caught you throwing a stone they have it covered,

Thats just england an wales, good job I live in Scotland then, I use otterboard, nets, bleach and pipe bombs I think you have to pay to use a fishing rod too in the UK huh, thank allah we dont here

I've emptied lochs here on the roadside using the otterboard and no one batts an eye, its a cracking bit of kit.

Yeah bleach depleats oxygen so they float and pipe bombs stun them, they float too, just scoop em out with a net. Wouldn't do pipe bombs near a public place though

I know someone who made Bispham beach look like Normandy on D-day, with a couple of pipe bombs

Don’t know about bows but we got in trouble in early 90s for trying to shoot trout with a g10 repeater

Yerr, more chance of winning the lotto the g10’s made the gat seem powerful

Used to have a chrome gat gun  as a boy, think I swapped it for a remote controlled car, also had an NSU quickly moped that I swapped for a pair of doctor Martin boots some real bargains to be had in the school playground back when I were a lad
