THE Evironment Agency have asked anglers to be on the alert after an Oxford and Abingdon Angling Alliance bailiff discovered a number of set lines in the Thames.
These consisted of a long length of line with up to 20 baited treble hooks.
They were removed by the bailiff and disposed of.
The EA are asking anglers to call their incident hotline if they see anything at all suspicious. Their number is on the rod licence and is 0800 807060.
