R & FAA members fishing at Castle Meadows.
As you all may be aware we have had Castle Meadow fishery for over 5 years now and during this time there has been very protracted conversations with Shrewsbury Town Council and other local interested parties, some of whom have called into question our rights to fish this venue and have in fact tried to create various obstacles in an effort to control where and when we can fish. We persisted and continued to put forward proposals to put in bank level standings for our members to fish safely from.
We the Committee are pleased to announce that all the negativity was ironed out at our last meeting on site with the council and opposition parties at the venue . We are very pleased to say that we will be installing 3 of the ground level standings to be sited upstream of the footbridge during this closed season. More standings will be put in over the coming years.
Indeed the Council have offered some of their outdoor staff to come along and remove obstacles that would impede our fishing in the vicinity of these fishing areas and also to remove obstacles from the waterside, we are hopeful that this cooperation will happen.
We would ask our members to go and enjoy their fishing there but be aware that there may be some residual resentment to us being there. So if any member encounters negative comments from anyone whilst they are fishing, please do not engage with anyone in anyway, simply carry on enjoying your fishing.
Please do report any adverse encounters or comments to the Committee should they occur.
