[Riprap]

Another very sobering perspective on our environmental laws from the feather dippers - a brilliant read:

Do the NEMBA regulations affect you?

The feather dippers managed to buy some time ito of NEMBA for trout in SA. Herewith an update courtesy of Farmer's Weekly: Sustaining the SA trout industry
Any legislational changes in this Act can have an impact on our sport.

Quoted "Adapted from a speech by Ilan Lax, chairperson of the Federation of SA Flyfishers, at Trout SA’s 2015 AGM."

Bad faith
In November last year, we sent a draft of the regulatory framework to the DEA, but have not heard anything back. Recently, the SANBI facilitators told us that, despite taking so long to deal with the matter, the DEA says it is under pressure to amend the existing NEMBA regulations, and by extension, publish the trout regulations and maps for public comment. If this is so, it seems the DEA is intent on pressing ahead without finalising the agreed consensus-based mapping process and will use the maps it thinks are suitable. This is contrary to our agreements.

Trust the authorities at your peril ...

Another question to ask yourself. "Do you know where Rotenone is being used?"
