Just writing to let you know recent goings on at Georges pond.

Having known that pond since a kid it is a real shame to see it being treated with utter contempt.
Apart from the horrible littering there, bottles, cans, plastic floating in the water and fishing line and hooks, which is harming the ducks and other wildlife. I must mention an incident i saw whilst walking the dog there on Monday. A huge speciman pike (about 15 to 20 pounds) had been thrown in one of the bins with the wire trace still attatched inside its mouth. A fish this size would take several years to grow. Are there policies, guidelines and rules laid out for this fishery?

I'm all for free fishing, but this turned my stomach.
Maybe it's time to charge a fee or have a regular bailiff patrol the pond?
