Pike anglers have been e-mailing Scottish MPs, asking them to think again over the livebaiting ban which was added at the eleventh hour to new Scottish fisheries legislation.
One has received the following reply from one MSP, who promises they'll take all views into account.

"Thank you for your e-mail.
"A number of people with an interest in this issue have written to me in similar terms, and as a member of the Committee doing the detailed work on the Bill, I will take these views into account when we consider amendments to the proposed legislation.
"I hope that by working with all the various interest groups and listening to those people with practical experience and most directly affected we will end up with a sensible and effective piece of legislation.
"I appreciate your taking the time and trouble to make your views known.
Yours sincerely
Nora Radcliffe"
