@HarryPeetTV @pickeringfish Massive congrats to @FishLegal_ @pickeringfish when I filmed at Costa beck what I witnessed & filmed underwater was truly appalling, despite being waste deep in sewage and silt , pleased to have supported this through my filming. Costa beck was the pinnacle of grayling fishing

Thank you, Pete! 🤞

@GreenJennyJones @TheJimMurray @Snorbinslad @pickeringfish @EnvAgency @Feargal_Sharkey @MattHayesfish @AnglingTrust @WindrushWasp Judgement reserved at the end of the hearing yesterday https://t.co/ylzWRbe7GV

[Jenny Jones @GreenJennyJones]

I'll be asking about the idiotic Labour appeal re #CostaBeck today in a Lords' Lib Dem debate on the growing challenges of the effects of climate change on natural ecosystems.
And I've warned the Minister I'll be raising it so she is forewarned and can give me a proper answer.

1 of 2 Did you all watch Joe Lycett Vs Sewage tonight/last night? If not, why not! We've all got to put the pressure on the water companies, DEFRA the EA, Government, and our politicions, which included our local councillors to hold these companies to account.

We're back in the High Court with @pickeringfish
on Monday for another showdown with @DefraGovUK and @EnvAgency.

In November, we got a judgment that questioned the Government's entire approach to river basin management planning.

Wonder if they'll try to appeal...

Tough guiding on a @WildTroutTrust Auction Day at Pickering Beck yesterday; low water & the chilly NW breeze killed off the expected Mayfly hatch with just a handful of duns & spinners late in the afternoon. Despite less than perfect conditions Richard managed to land 15 trout!

@ATFreshwater @GetIntoFishing Here is one from a member, taken on one of our ponds. It was a pea souper on the drive up the valley, but a fabulous autumnal day at the top. 👌

@WildTroutTrust Guiding a Wild Trout Trust Auction day on Pickering Beck yesterday. Despite limited fly life (the Mayfly is just about over) & few risers Bernard had a great day landing over 20 trout & a grayling, mainly on Caddis imitations. https://t.co/WA4u2JEGY3

[Pickering Fishery Association @pickeringfish]

Pickering beck is very low & clear but fishing v well. Fish rising to Dance flies & the first Mayflies. Use light lines, long leaders with size 18 & smaller flies unless the fish are really taking the big Mayflies. Fishing this afternoon was great. https://t.co/WA4u2JEGY3

[Pickering Fishery Association @pickeringfish]

Challenging guide day for #WildTroutTrust auction winner, Ian on #Pickering Beck. Cold wind, low water & few risers. We had a no. of wild trout & grayling, to dry flies. Ian so impressed with the beck he's thinking of joining the PFA & he lives in Suffolk! https://t.co/yiVhbTdvk3

[Pickering Fishery Association @pickeringfish]

7 degrees C, raw east wind, very low water, no flies hatching but #PickeringBeck still produced to the dry fly for new member Mark & Dave Southall during a short afternoon session. 8 fish between them. https://t.co/WA4u2JEGY3
