Hhm. Interesting statistic. That's about £700/boat so £200/boat comes from boat related activities other than annual licences....the charge BW makes on marina turnover perhaps? Even if it was effectively policed so > all anglers paid up, maggot drowning is never going to contribute very much.. > As Glen P said, if BW charge too much they will go elsewhere (elastic demand > curve for any economists). > I'm not sure about that. The £18-19 million BW income matches the income EA receive from Rod Licenses (over 1.2 million license holders). How many of these fishermen use BW waters? Seems to me that I pass as many fishermen on an average day's cruising as I do moving boats. Perhaps BW should be issuing a Canal Rod License. I for one wouldn't mind buying one at rates similar to the EA rates. Cheers... Will Chapman nb Quidditch ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo!
