Thanks for the tip Skully. I'd been looking for an excuse to get up there and get myself acquainted.
You do need an Environment Agency permit, but I think they're pretty relaxed about it as long as you are catching the right sort, and using the right kind of apparatus.
Apparently, the rivers are teeming with the blighters. Had planned a trip to the River Lee or Grand Union canal. Could make for an interesting ride!
