What I think there should be is 3 regional qualifiers not including the forces. North, Midland and South, fished over two days one month apart couldn't be more simple

Enter, don't enter, choice is yours! Sorry if its really expensive but then so is smoking and going to the pub

What??? and stop the likes of an 8 man eliminator or a 13 man (or less) river eliminator and close the entry??

Ps, Totally agree Jimbob!

Bolloxs to it now... I'm off to the river!!

I am still not convinced that Stewart would get through if bungs were banned

He'd struggle!
I've seen his bung, credit where it's due if you can cast that thing on a fly rod you deserve to catch!

The elimination process def wants sorting out. How about this for an idea - 8 /10 large water venues are chosen throughout the country, entrants must fish 3 or possibly 4 venues and their total finishing points calculated as a % of the entry at that venue then added to get an overall top 28 for the team. Should get the most consistant anglers through. So no national final. We all go 'pleasure' fishing 4 times a year anyway. Down side is cost and travel and organisation. Just a thought.
