The injuries below have been caused to sheep's hooves by irresponsible anglers disposing of unwanted fishing line. Two sheep have been found in a Cumbrian field with nylon fishing line knotted around their feet and legs, resulting in one particular sheep losing part of a hoof. Although this action is down to a minority of Anglers, it is worth reminding all Anglers that they should dispose of unwanted line in a responsible manner, either take it home or cut it into small pieces. There are other photographs showing a great deal of blood on the sheep's hoof but they are deemed to be unsuitable for publication. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Cockermouth Anglers enjoyed some free casting tuition from Clive Mitchelhill, AAPGAI casting instructor, in conjunction with Guide Fly Fishing. It took place on Sunday 17th June 2012 at Stakes Top on the River Derwent with thanks to Castle Fisheries for providing the Beat.
