You take care in those rivers young man - you hear me!!!
UK River Spearfishing.....
Is probably illegal.....
And could be dangerous due to wiers, hidden rocks e.t.c e.t.c.....

BUT.........
If done properly could be great fun!!!!!
Things to remember.....
1. Do that all important reccy first.......Walk up / down the river on a calm day looking for any hazards / currents / whirlpools...and more importantly exits from the water, there's nothing more dangerous than not being able to exit the river if something goes wrong.....
1.a. Tell someone what you are doing, and what time you will be back, this goes for sea as well, but in a fast flowing river you can be swept a long way.....
2. Don't do rivers at night, you don't know whats moored on them.....
3. Use a short gun...
4. Dont do it in a river with boats on it!!!!!!
I know a certain someone who shall remain nameless who intends to do this in the summer because he has a river near him with a lot of sea trout and BASS - yes BASS in it, he may have to go deep undercover because of the river baliff, but he will post to the board the results of his skirmish
