Im sure the Lincolnshire based company who own great swathes of the land both sides of the river, and all the banks and fishing rights on the said river would be absolutely destroyed if the water was poisoned by chemicals and they couldn't attract the VERY rich sporting types from the uk and overseas to fish here. Ive never in the many years ive lived here seen anyone spraying or dealing with hogweed or balsam
I did the research when I was chair of the Carmarthenshire Fishermen's federation and we were facing the prospect of serious bank erosion and loss of fishing on a whole river system - miles and miles of internationally renowned sea trout and salmon fishing, much of it classed as SSI and SSSI being taken over by Balsam
