What Botriver scenario are you referring to Steve? 38 years ago the leerie fishing was excellent there. We used to fish in the main channel with live bait and it was not uncommon to have up to ten boats in a row and all having good catches.

Then the Hawston fellows got stuck in with nets and we heard of Bedford loads of leeries being taken out. The fishing was never the same thereafter.

Is this the incident you are referring to or was there another one?

howzit neil.....my old man fished there often in the 80's and early 90's and caught big leeries and monster elf....then as you say the hawston guys put nets across and ****ed everything up....

...... my old man and uncle have been spinning there recently(earlier this year) but with no luck....so sad....

there are however huge harders/mullet swimming around in there....
